Harmful complexity: using React for static content - Go Make Things: https://gomakethings.com/harmful-complexity-using-react-for-static-content/ One thing us developers can do for the environment: Write more efficient software!

Depending on how large your audience is and how green your other habits are, this might be the single biggest thing you can do! Probably not though.  The future of the right to repair and free software - Elizabeth Chamberlain of iFixit @ LibrePlanet 2023: https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/the-future-of-the-right-to-repair-and-free-software/ (video) Funktal: a frugal functional programming language - Wim Vanderbauwhede: https://wimvanderbauwhede.github.io/articles/funktal/ Lua, put simply, is the simplest scripting you can imagine! It is based on similar ideas to what JavaScript started with but without the evolutionary pressures into resembling a mainstream programming language.

@alcinnz that post is infuriating.
@alcinnz This is one of the reasons why I use JavaScript as a last resort when other ways to achieve the desired functionality and design via HTML/CSS have been exhausted.
But what destroyed me the most was @nikitonsky post about a fundamental object and term like "checkbox": https://tonsky.me/blog/checkbox/
