It’s all the extra requirements, all the extra engineering that needs to be added that is IMO ruining web applications. Sure, they have huge benefits, but I hate when the application is simple but the backend is so overly engineered that it takes a week to completely build a fully fleshed out application. You have to organize your components, add styled-components.js, make sure it’s compatible with mui.js, create test cases for each component, setup a DB and integrate it to hold all copy as well as any input from the customer, make sure that it’s accessible (this part I admit that it’s important), make sure your test cases always pass, setup routing tables, add analytics, add pixel campaign api, squash git conflicts, integrate some other weirdo apis that marketing and leadership pulled from some obscure service no one has ever heard off, debug some weird edge case error caused by a node dependency 3 levels down, present the finished website to leadership only to be destroyed and now you have to redo 75% of the site with leadership changes… rinse and repeat.

It’s a good thing I fucking love my job 🙃

Maybe it’s time to go back to the good ol’ days

Tbh, all of web development has become this… efficient. I remember the days where I could create a website in PHP and have it done in a couple of hours (per page), and now the only way I can do that would be using AI and going full on “vibe coding” mode.

My last DM got mad at me and almost kicked me out of the group because I wanted to create a rogue mage warrior priest with a backstory that he was a mexican immigrant names Jose.

That’s an awesome DM

Was your DM happy about this turn of events? Mine would litterally introduced the beggar with rats on the next turn.

Uninstalled. I don’t mind as much for sharing my library but if I have to pay to stream MY OWN SERVERS CONTENT using your service, that’s a hard pass. My homes all use jellyfin now

Sticker this now

So, usually I run mulvad on my laptop before firing up qbtorrent, but how would something like this work? Is it just an app running on my phone where I still have to use mulvad?

How does someone use something like this discreetly if its setup in the us?

That is one jolly saint nick

This is awesome, will there be an api added? I’ve been trying to build an app for the same purpose myself.

No one is saying they shouldn’t make money, but for their social apps – just like they post on Facebook, Twitter, etc. They could also post on Lemmy, Mastodon, etc. And this gives their users the option to leave the big tech social platforms.

Nothing will change if no more people starts adopting fediverse, and a podcast about self hosting should at least also post on the fediverse as much as on the main social media apps
