blink and center dont work on most modern sites. iframes in particular break now. Give it another 10 years. Hell React will break if you dont keep up with the updates every 6ish months. Or so it feels.
We can have both. Sites that marvel and little txt sites.

Where are you seeing that? I only see email address.
- Comment on No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites 4 days ago:
Dunno. Give it a shot and see how it goes!
Personally I would just set nginx + translator that would push the site into different formats if I wanted it long term. Just dump the resultant files, set up a website.cool/xxx.txt and push it out there.

Plus markdown is kinda loosy goosy when it comes to the "standard". Sites like Github and wikipedia have slightly different specs. And each site has a different scheme to hook into it.
Its much easier to set up static site generators or hook into something that can translate. But maybe that will change.
I personally would like other languages in the browser. Native python the browser would be nice for example.

You may have more luck with neocities and their sites. Lots of webrings around there and a lot of people having fun.

Frames still break on some sites. center is still being joked about. Once in a while you still see plaintext on some very old sites.
And as a dev of over 20 years, I can say for a fact that deprecations will occur. And its all code cruft for modern browsers to navigate. Its easier to let them die. And in 10+ years the txt docs will still work. Mostly. Maybe. :D Unicode emojis make it even more confusing to the conversion.

If they are useful, people will still use them. We can have both. Modern Browsers that are closer to full scale OSes AND tiny little txt sites that give users info on the given topic.

That would be nice.
- Comment on No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites 4 days ago:
I think because in 10 or so years, there might be a new standard that breaks the site again. Or makes it unusable.
TXT breakthroughs are still used for a reason. Its much harder to break txt files over decades.
All that is assuming someone still wants to read your txt but that is besides the point.

I think in order for both to work towards a better fediverse, there needs to be a "true" sync. Not like the bridge Bluesky is maintaining, we need something to sync both ways. Even if its just a subset with just public posts to begin with.

- Comment on Pdf to odt/docx conversion has me weeping! 1 week ago:
As a dev the reason pdf is so strange is because it's a compound format. It can be just images strung together. It can also be pure text with fonts, ect...etc ..
If you open the file as a text file, you can see this. It's many different formats in a trenchcoat.

Direct sponsoring has worked in the past with many open source projects (including lemmy.world). Could be closer to what Patreon does.

Give it a couple of years. AI is just getting started.

My wife and I were discussing this. This isnt "slow" to us, its just a tiny bit inconvenient. We were used to the old AOL pictures taking a good minute or two to load.
We would get rid of Youtube before we get ads.

Ublock origin (if your using it) "fixed" the issue shortly after. Im convinced someone at google works on adblock lol. Probably not true but the timing was really fast.

Yeah Peertube is awesome. It already scales very well with its tech. Its been growing too. I think its good to have multiple alternatives. Its a good free option.
Ultimately the platform is the last important part of watching a video. If the creators can get more $$/activity going somewhere else they will. It happened to Vimeo, it will happen to Youtube.
