  If someone can’t be arsed to write it, I can’t be arsed to read it.

  Ugh why can’t you read the article without Javascript? Trying to do that gives you the error message: " You need to enable JavaScript to run this app."

  That reminds me. There was a post on Lemmy recently about “graceful degradation”. One useful tip from that post was about maintaining a balance with your sites.

  DO NOT use Javascript to implement vital content and navigation (especially if you are running a blog or some other information heavy site).

  If you do use Javascript, only use it to support ‘nice-to-have’ features. Good candidates for ‘nice-to-have’ features would be things that can break, but wouldn’t impact the user experience significantly.

  Anyways why am I yapping about this? I’m hoping this is read by someone planning to start a website or blog, and that they’ll take this into consideration.

  You may self-host your notes or calendar, but you’re forced to either recreate account systems or give up on interoperability.

  I literally just finished setting up Radicale on my old laptop, and now I can access my calendar and contacts through CalDav and CardDav from every single client under the sun. Maybe don’t use AI to write your entire article.

    Caldav, carddav, and email are probably the only easily portable data interops.

    I guess photos can be re-uploaded but that’s not easy.

    Do notes transfer though? I know Outlook, Gmail/GSuite, and Apple all have notes but I don’t know if they transfer.

      What exactly are “notes”? CalDav has a to-do feature that might do what you need it to do.

      If you mean a note taking app, then as long as your old service isn’t user-hostile it should just all be markdown.

    As if calendar systems currently interop easily, haha.

  Using an LLM doesn’t break the rules. This post’s fate will be determined by your votes.

    I appreciate that they mentioned it.

    I’m not particularly good at writing, I can understand why someone would ask an LLM to help them clarify their ideas. The intent here is obviously to improve their content rather than as a crutch to feed us shit. Whether it’s better than just writing this personally I don’t know.

  I’m going to voluntarily read other people’s AI slop.

    I’m gonna ask an AI to read it. I won’t read that either, but all the same.

  I swear Lemmy is the only place where a throwaway sentence (in a comment that has nothing to do with that topic) becomes a giant pedantic thread about em dashes. Wtf is this platform lmao.

  It reminds me of my post about Stop Killing Games where half the comments became about video vs text 😂

    This seriously got an out-loud chuckle from me. Thanks!

      And thank you for getting a chuckle out of it. Seriously, this platform needs more positivity.

      Have a great day, stranger.

    The fediverse isn't just lemmy.

    also is this your first day on the internet? blowing pedantic bullshit out of all proportion is the baseline experience on any platform.

  You need to enable JavaScript to run this app.

  That's not true. I just need to click the 'x' next to the tab. Why should I be bothered with waiting for some JS to be able to read text?

  That web page is 24MB and took over 11s to load on a gigabit connection and fast PC, to show some text with a font that I find very hard to read.

  87 individual .js files !

  24MB to read some text written by an LLM just makes me sad about the current state of things.

  Thank you for this post!

  This how social media should work. I want Interoperability between whatsapp, signal threema and so on. Also between garmin, withings, Apple and so on…
