       @chriswere That's indeed terrible and you touched many points I agree about pretender companies. I wish people would stop hyping up companies or services that are just "not-x" while actually not solving the fundamental problems with x. Just say no to walled gardens, proprietary formats, mandatory registrations, ad-based revenue models and just generally anti-consumer (and anti-human/planet) tactics.

       @chriswere Also, thanks for publishing videos on peertube. I ditched youtube and it's good to have interesting content on peertube side.

       @art Thanks for posting your videos on peertube as well. In the end, non-centralized platforms are probably our only way to escape corporate tyranny. Keep up the good work!

       @art Yup, finally took the plunge. Installed pipewire and frankly expected everything to come crashing down. I tried playing music through pulseaudio, opened my DAW to check out jack support and... they all worked!  I managed to crash it with my bluetooth headphones but managed to get them to work as well. So, some hiccups but very, very promising indeed!

       @phryk @briar It's written in kotlin so, no it's not.

       @dch @yaaps @alcinnz @amirouche @humanetech @person @alexandraWhen we think about what is good or bad it's worthwhile to consider what the goal actually is. "Simpler" or "less bloat" are too vague.What I would like to see are 1) greatly reduced malfeatures (scams, ads, tracking, fingerprinting, pop-overs, rewriting of UI features like scrolling etc.) most of them use JS to achieve that

       @dch @yaaps @alcinnz @amirouche @humanetech @person @alexandra 2) lighter loads / faster operation. I went to a some national major news sites and of the multiple megabyte payloads around 75% of was JS and 20% was images and html, rest was fonts etc. So, again, a major culprit is JS.3) I would still like to have some core functionality without the previous bloat and hazardousness of JS. To me this functionality includes the ability to query data and refresh parts of the page w/o full reload.

       @dch @yaaps @alcinnz @amirouche @humanetech @person @alexandra 4) part of the HTML bloat comes from the low-level semantics of the HTML where web devs are trying to piece together UI controls that do not exist in HTML. So, if we would still like to have "web apps" and not just web pages maybe we could borrow ideas from UI toolkits and have a defined set of controls like tree views, dialogs, menus etc. but maybe that goes too far.
