Damn. This needs to be a blog article and saved somewhere! No need to apologize. You've done a great job explaining a very technical topic in a simple and relatable way.

Every time I get downvoted, I move an inch closer to the exit door of this community.

By community, do you mean just this particular Lemmy community or the community on Lemmy collectively? If the latter, there are other alternative Lemmy communities on other instances that may be better suited for you.

Just would hate to see someone leave Lemmy over toxic energy in one place. There's a big world here in fediverse!

Yeah I'd personally like to see more regulation and cases fighting for privacy rights instead, especially here in the US.

RSS has no adoption anymore

Not true. RSS feeds are the only thing I use these days and know quite a few others that do as well. Sure some sites may not have RSS feeds by default, but there are a ton of services that auto generate RSS feeds for you.

Speaking of, does anyone know how best to block YouTube ads on my Sony TV? It uses Android and I have the YT app on it.

sigh So Threads can throw their posts out into the fediverse, but no one from fediverse is allowed to post comments back? Why am I not surprised? 🙄

Lol how about one written in NodeJS? 😆

I like TypeScript for its types and type-checking, but I also want to write JavaScript to avoid having a local build step, and having to wait for things to transpile/compile/etc when running locally. I have a pretty large project where I've gotten both worlds by just using JSDoc and only using TS for type-checking. VSCode still offers built-in type-checking with JSDocs and ofc the type-checking can also be run separately if needed.

I like RoR but "Ruby on Rails" and "modern" in the same sentence seems kind of funny.

But then again, "modern" is subjective in itself and most of the websites I see these days (even built and maintained by large companies) seem pretty ancient.

No semantic HTML, still using divs everywhere, no accessibility, all these useless third-party dependencies and lockins vs the new APIs being introduced natively in the browser every day, ajax, jquery instead of using the web platform, hell-- most web developers don't even know what a dialog element is.

They probably wont implement due to potential harrassment from abuse. But you can follow users using Open RSS feeds in meantime. Here's your feed for example:

20+ year programmer and I've never made an account on SO. During the early stages of SO, the idea of making people have to earn a certain amount of SO karma just to ask a question seemed like an odd obstacle to place in front of new users. I get why they may want to do it but decisions like that are already divisive and toxic to being with.
