@vantablack companies that deliberately make #WebDevs build sites that are #AntiAccessible due to #JavaScript deserved to be boycotted and shamed into reversing that decision.
@ciourte @netopwibby Needless to say I've only heard of some Spanish low-cost #MVNO offering one device only in a #prepaid #bundle when #FirefoxOS was unveiled at the #MWC in #Barcelona based off coverage in @ct_Magazin at the time.
Alas @Mozilla deciding on purpose to literally splinter the market by letting #MNO|s and MVNOs run their #AppStore|s instead of a #centralized model, making the situation worse than in the "P.R." #China where there are several vendor-independent #AppStores for #Android.
Still, I'm #StillMad at #Mozilla for faceplanting Firefox OS cuz it had the easiest way to get started and a good architecture being every #App is just a #WebApp and all the system calls were standard #HTML5 permissions and nothing fancy.
DO NOT FUCK WITH THE BACK BUTTON.
The browser back button is meant to navigate back. It is not an invitation to pop up stupid shit. Negative marks to space dot com for doing this most recently.
@AmenZwa also I think a lot.of #WebDevs need to stop showing off and instead start building unique, sleek & privacy-respecting sites...
Yo #webDevs please don't:
- mess with my scroll bar
- guess my language (it's in my browsers request header)
- mess with copy/paste
- enforce crappy password rules
This morning I've already had to deal with all four. None of these enhance your site, they just make you come across as an idiot.
I blogged a thing again, for the first time in a long time:
Make your #EULAs and #legalterms printable, people! I'm talking to #webdevs mostly, but also #lawyers and #legalteams and #management ...
@matuzo seriously, thank you for your #web #accessibility cookbook!
We're currently fixing accessibility on our site (medium sized web shop) and nearly *every* page in your book hits a topic right before our eyes!
And it's clearly written and does not over explain things. It's just on point.
Never had such a strong recommendation for a book for #frontend #webdevs
@frumble @mozilla Und ja, alle #WebDevs die ich kenne waren begeistert wo #FirefoxOS vorgestellt wurde weil dann ist #Apps programmieren umso einfacher und ohne Bullshit möglich...
Die einzigen FirefoxOS-Geräte in der #EU waren #SimLock'd / #NetLock'd #Prepaid-Handys die nur in Spanien bei Telefonica nur als Bundle mit SIM in Shops verkauft wurden!
@Cheatha Technisch lassen sich solche Modals (mittlerweile) problemlos ohne JS realisieren. Auch eigene Url und Back-Button Support sind kein Hexenwerk. Als Webentwickler sehr ich das nicht (mehr) als Problem. Aber man kann sowas dank #react oder #angular natürlich auch extrem schlecht implementieren. Kommt halt auf die Erfahrung des #webdevs an!
Dear #WebDevs / #WebDesigners,
If your products look like this, then
"Go and boil your bottom, sons of a silly person!"
#Webdevs in 2050 be like,
"And make sure every element has at least 1024 pixels padding"
then implements modern features in Safari/Webkit really slowly
That's good actually, because you #webdevs keep chasing the shiny new features #Chrome / #Chromium / #Blink is pushing to the #web like fucking fireflies, to the detriment of #webcompat with small #browsers like #PaleMoon, #Basilisk, and others based on #UXP / #Goanna / #XUL (like #SeaMonkey).
As someone who used to work actively in Pale Moon's development, I am witness to a website that almost broke its #compatibility with my #browser but was stopped because the new feature it wanted to require was not yet available in an old #Safari / #WebKit version they're still supporting.
So yes, from my point of view, #Apple does more to support the #openweb than #Mozilla and #Firefox (which always follows Chrome whenever it's not controversial) does, even if it didn't intend to. And to be clear, I am not even an Apple fanboy. The only Apple device I own is this ancient 1st generation of the iPad mini. I don't like their ecosystem.
So it's not a bad take. It's the reality we independent desktop browser developers see in #webdev.

@Linux_Is_Best but maybe me defaulting to @torproject / #TorBrowser with #JavaScript and #Cookies disabled and expecting #Lynx to work as well is too much, I think more #WebDevs should test amd bigfix their stuff ob #Firefox and if necessary let @mozilla know of something that doesn't work in Firefox but everywhere else...
@Linux_Is_Best TBH, I thing #WideVine and #Mozilla need to fix whateber they need to fix to make it work...
If necessary, use DNS over HTTPS / DNS over TLS solely fir that setup.
Also I do expect #WebDevs to properly test their sites with #Firefox just as they do with #Chrome.
It's bad ebough they ain't legally forced to test against @torproject / #TorBrowser woth disabled #JavaScript & #Cookies or #Lynx...
Not to mention that sadly, @landley is right:
If #FLOSS would result in good #UI & #UX, #WebDevs like @fuchsiii would be out of their jobs!
And sadly that is a problem that only few [i.e. #Canonical at least does] adress [on their core product @ubuntu LTS Desktop - even tho @opensuse / #OpenSUSE's #YaST may be seen as easier to work with for entry-level #Sysadmins since it's a better reimagination to the #Windows Control Panel]...
#webmasters #developers #webdevs #webdevils whatever
The guy who created(?) and maintains this great, #free #Linux #distro (https://www.dragora.org/en/index.html?ref=techhut-media )needs your #help :
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/dragora-users/2023-04/msg00008.html
Did I say it is free?
Now think: You know you want your name on this project. Right?
Dear #WebDevs,
I don't you need to open links in a new window for me.
I know how to do that.
I might have been doing that since before you were born.
