getting told that every website having https is "devaluing the worth" of websites having https, like every website has it now so it doesn't mean anything
while also arguing that google "did the right thing" forcing every website to have https (whether they handle sensitive data or not)
which, as someone who disagrees that static websites need https, i have not heard worse technical arguments in a long while
@mavica_again it's the same with like, fundraiser/donation posts, I see ones with stuff like 'please donate I have 2 days to raise $500 to not get kicked out' and there'll be 5+ times the number of likes compared to boosts and it's like, you are not helping, you are not contributing, you are telling a vulnerable person you saw their struggle and couldn't be bothered to press one button to give them a slightly wider reach
social media is anything but and mastodon has not ever been and will not ever be better than twitter or any similar contrived microblogging platform for as long as it retains the favourite button
"but they're acknowledging you" no they are being unhelpful and you are being patronizing
and i don't mean in a mansplaining kind of way or "how do i do x in y" "use z instead"
i mean "how do i do x" "rando favourited your post"
like it's just non-sequiturs. i'm in a don hertzfeldt skit
who am i kidding nothing has really changed since 2017 we're still giving non-answers to question posts and trying to explain why that is a correct thing to do
webdevs who learnt their craft prior to 2010 should brand themselves as "html over the wire engineers"
anyone got decapped ROMs they need someone with free time to mark up in maskromtool? #reverseengineering
