Dicker is the new container virtualization technology.

Instructions unclear, the site is now best viewed with at 640K Transcendent HD.

Your 100 MB webäpp is still shit, in every metric.

If you can't do it in 64K, it's not worth doing.

Bill Gates said you'd never need more than that.

js was a mistake

As somebody whose most familiar language is JavaScript, I agree.

Hotter(?) take: JavaScript is a mistake

JavaScript was a mistake.

Electron was a colossal mistake.

I've been a node dev for the past 10 years or so now?

Moved here from C#. I'm still quite surprised that it became the dominate language/runtime or whatever.

Excuse me, but did you not see my fancy graphic and animation? And my cool autoplaying adverts? And the dickbar asking you to subscribe to my annoying newsletter?

I don't know what web you're looking for, but it's not the one I (and my many clients) design for. /s

/s I'm not a web designer or coder. I only host plain html. Shut up. It's sarcasm / satire done poorly.

also it has a stupid unconventional design that breaks random things on Linux

Just use Qt and you're already cross-platform.

Or if it has to be web, you can get crazy far with a 15 kB HTML document and possibly some native JS.

Which is why you show a lower-res preview as default. Don't want to wait a fucking minute to decide if i like your picture or not.

Which reminds me, Chrome/ium/Firefox's dev tools have a bandwith limiting feature. A lot of so-called web developers don't know that.

or 29.66 MB @ 10-bit

Why would you have that at 100% on your webpage? I mean with the special exception of looking for enormous photos.

Also, you'd store it, and download it (to your webpage) compressed.

I have 4k screen and half of the websites are cellphone-like column in the middle. WTF is this shit?

Designer != Web developer

Your anger is misdirected.

I've found most websites that look like ass on a 24" 1920x1200 screen (or really any desktop monitor) is because they are designed for a 5-6" cell phone screen.

Who the hell maximizes their browser on a 4k monitor?!

the sun is a deadly laser and being exposed to it is inhumane

I...I kinda like that.

i can see how this might evolve... someone, the app developer or the user, will end up having to pay google to let an app use more ram than google allows it to for 'free'.

What are the limits? There's no way this could be done correctly without applying different limits to games vs some compass app or whatever.

They need this to compete with Apple, apple runs on a lot less Ram because it imposes such limits already, simply by not having as much RAM to begin with

Ouu, that's actually a really smart rule of thumb, why should js be running if nothing has even been clicked?

also the base speed of at&t cellular after you use the fast data

Whenever I have to open a jira link, I click it and go for a coffee break

I just have a flag the pages can have that prevents it from loading any of the adops shit, so I can measure my performance improvements for my own sanity.

OS developers should be banned from having more than 2GiB of RAM too.

You absolutely can. I have Linux with Hyprland and it is less than 2gb doing nothing. You can probably run ARM boards and do the same. I think with browser it is still less than 4Gb. Your system just needs to be free of corporate garbage.

Up until very recently (its system drive blew up) I was running a server (raspberry pi zero 2 w) with 512MB of RAM. It werked fine. At any moment I had ~1/4 of the RAM free. And I was running a bunch of services, like ssh, unbound, pi-hole, opentracker and a test website.

I also have another machine with 2GB of RAM running bookstack, an ssh gateway, opentracker, a KMS for activating windows machines, another website, naemon with the thruk frontend and probably something else I'm forgetting abt.
