vazark··on OccupySaaS
This is silly. Unlike Adobe, the reason these SaaS exist is having someone else to guarantee safety and uptime of non-business related functions. The problem with self hosting is we're now responsible for these software as well. It can for large companies but for most SMEs its simpler to pay and forget
vazark··on Canadians are running out of time to oppose Bill C-22
They can because the USD is the world's reserve currency. Whenever the economic situation looks volatile, historically, organisations buy up USD and Treasuries as a its seen as a safe haven. That trust has been slowly eroding only due to the actions (and inaction) of the US admin regarding ukraine and iran
vazark··on The Future of CSS
JS was for "interactivity". CSS function is just a simple abstraction for user reusable logic.
vazark··on macOS 15.8.2 Breaks OpenGL
As long as people keep buying them, devs have no choice but to adapt
vazark··on Cloudflare acquires Deno
The way i see it, cloudflare acquired celld. Deno was just given a decent burial as part of the package
vazark··on 2027 Web Platform Feature Ranking
> Every large project I have inherited has massive CSS files filled with hairy rules, utterly unmaintainable despite whatever people will tell you.

Sounds like a very good reason to work on css features to make it simpler to use

vazark··on Shopify acquires Tailwind
IMO, Tailwind is just inline CSS with standardised defaults. I think it found its place because most React devs didn't want to bother with CSS
vazark··on Windows 11's "special" developer edition looks like another marketing misfire
Have they considered providing unconditional support to WINE and releasing a Linux distro?
vazark··on HTML Can Do That
It is commonly used in dashboards when you want a confirmation dialog
vazark··on Fairphone is now officially available in the United States
My gripe is the lack of usb 3 / dp-alt support.

Fairphone as a whole feels like a company that prioritises the mission, but only this mission of ethical and reusable hardware. The user experience for power users who are most likely to recommend their devices feels like a let-down.

vazark··on GrapheneOS Defends Data-Wiping Function That Blocked US Border Search
The problem is, with the access that comes with the real PIN, you can always plant stuff that didn't exist before
vazark··on Godot will no longer accept AI-authored code contributions
Because the goal is two-part

1. Accept quality contributions from someone who understands what they're doing

2. Cultivate a relationship with the contributor who might potentially become a core-team member. Maybe even the next maintainer

vazark··on Microsoft Needs Windows Lite
The problem is Microsoft, not windows
vazark··on Microsoft Needs Windows Lite
That's the catch-22 problem. The underlying logic and software rarely care about the platform. They are usually just built Windows because that is the default OS on anything that is not a Mac.
vazark··on Microsoft Needs Windows Lite
That sounds like Windows Premium, not Lite. The annoying parts are the "features" that modern MS added intentionally
vazark··on Web Components: The Framework-Free Renaissance
The biggest issue is the lack of tooling and the inability to manage a shared state. We actually ended up creating new libraries like Stencil & Lit.

Custom Elements missed the mark with the problem frameworks solve. We don't necessarily need custom HTML, we needed easy way to build and manage the whole data and visual flow locally while treating the backend response as a datasource.

Nowadays, I use web components for one-off, isolated components as a replacement for iframes, but rarely for anything complex.
