@ramsey #PHP has the same issue, abeit server-side...

  • It too is a shitshow in terms of #security and not really performant to the point that #NSAbook wrote their own cross-compiler to make it go brrr!...

Both #JavaScript & PHP are nuisances and should've been put down like #ActiveX.
Silverlight, #Shockwave and #FlashPlayer long ago!

  • And yes, if you haven't seen PHP being used as #shitcoin #miner and #malware you haven't even tried dealing with it.

But you can spare yourself the trauma and stockholming...

PHP Community on MastodonLarry Garfield (@Crell@phpc.social)@kkarhan@infosec.space @alina@girldick.gay There's a lot more to PHP than Wordpress. Even most PHP devs hate Wordpress. But OK, you just want to rant ignorantly, so I'm not going to bother listening. Good day, and have fun being blocked.

@Crell @alina It's not an ignorant rant.

  • I've made peace with it, just as I've made peace never touching #Windows ever again.

You may call me an "opinionated asshole" from your point of view, but I sincerely wish I was wrong.

The real cost doesn't come through to #consoomers except as #ReducedLifecycle due to #bloat.

But then again what do I expect from a coward doing the reply & block - combo, because confronting the fact that people got burned out by shit like PHP would mean admitting mistakes, and we can't have that as a fanboy.

Are you *really* writing “modern” #HTML if you aren’t using a metric shit ton of <div> tags?

Are you*really* writing “modern” #CSS if you don’t have a class name attribute list longer than your arm?

Are you *really* writing “modern” #JavaScript if you aren’t using React or NextJS and delivering the equivalent of 7 copies of Doom byte count wise for a static home page?

Continued thread

You know someone fucked up #WebDesign when logging out makes your CPU spike to 85% and the fan sound like one's running a #Shitcoin #Mining #Malware (aka. #Cryptojacker) and closing the tab results in 1 GB less RAM and 3 GB less overall cached assets.

  • And yes I did check these results by running sudo sh -c "sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"' before, during and after the website has been opened.

Nobody: "How much bullshit can we shove into our website?"

#deel: YES!

Seriously, I get that not everyone is able to do #accessible and #performant #forms and #Websites and that #JavaScript is trendy and hip.

  • But this seriously isn't funny anymore, but insulting!

@404media says "wild goose chase" diverters for #AI #scrapers use too many resources and don't affect the AI sewer very much. In addition, the scrapers have solved #CAPTCHA" so those just waste everyone's time.
According to the article, #Anubis is an #OpenSource program which requires browsers to complete a #JavaScript test which is already done routinely. It says this test would be overwhelmingly burdensome for scrapers if they had to do it on multiple websites.
