@ploum « you don’t deserve blablaaaah » Listen we’re really on the same side of this issue, but you need to stop talking to people like this. Even I, Firefox user since it was still a little Bird, would want to get as far away as a a possible from a community that would use such elitist, bigoted, and kinda asshole arguments against users. 8 comments
@yo @ploum @ombremad Not to mention a serious lack of software diversity. Web standards have become way too complex. Making a new rendering engine work at all is already a tall order, so I don't even want to think about the work needed to make it fast. That means it is unlikely that we'll see a third rendering engine emerge anytime soon. The fact that even Microsoft gave up is saying something. @x0r @yo @ploum @ombremad I agree the modern web is near to impossible to catch up with, with JavaScript and its countless APIs mostly to blame. This is why I suggested a reasonable middle ground between Gopher/Gemini and the modern web: https://xavi.privatedns.org/blog/small-web-browser/ Because of the stable requirements and much lower complexity, such proposal would allow the free software community to come up with multiple, co-existing implementations, similarly to Gopher and Gemini. |

@ombremad : Chrome die-hard fans are mostly tech-savy developers. I’m talking to them (which is my core audience on Mastodon)
People which have the education to understand that Google is a problem but, yet, uses Google tools all the time.
Yes, those people, the geeks, us. We are the problems.
The people who don’t know which browser they are using? They rely on us, they are using what we give to them. We can’t blame them.
