Probably because the poison has "useful" side effects. Or tradition.

There's a difference between "wouldn't work" and "wouldn't work as nicely". That's what this post is about :D Most websites would still work in the same basic way without js.

There's been so many grifts, so many bubbles. Societal collapse will happen, but not because of AI is what I'm saying, but by capitalist strategies like infinite growth.

HTML/CSS/JS is just a possible frontend technology. It doesn't really matter if your frontend is written in that or written in Qt or whatever. What matters in the end is that the developers are good ones. If the developers suck, the frontend will suck.

There aren't many good developers.

Not quite true.. by default it goes to the previous/next tab in the list, but if you accidentally clicked somewhere else entirely in the list then going back/forward from that point does not get you to the tab you previously had selected.

Afaik there is a setting for it, but you have to have it enabled beforehand so it builds the history.

What I mean with "you're not the only one" is that you'll be (probably easily) able to find people that are good for you. Didn't mean to put light on the fact it's a societal issue; might be, might not be, but it's irrelevant. Just meant to say that enough good people are out there.

If you're like what you say you are, "staying with people in the hopes they might change for the better", what I've noticed in my time on Earth is that "people like you" actually do find these problematic people specifically and spend their time with them. You want to improve the world and that means the people within them, and so you think your time is well spent like this.

However, this is unfortunately almost totally wrong. Instead of achieving your goal, the problematic people just mostly stay like they are, and because of that all that happens is that you become miserable because you don't see any improvement, and don't have any meaningful relationships.

If I may suggest an alternative, what I've found is that you actually have to find people that are already mostly good and have a proven track record of improving themselves. These are mostly good people. They have no big problems and no toxic behaviors. I assume you are such a person. So in other words, you have to find someone like you. If you do that, you can both improve together and help each other, instead of this one-sided thing you probably mostly had going on.

And yeah, like you said, "not setting yourself on fire to keep others warm", this means you have to stop spending time with the people that just drain you, even though it may sometimes be painful.

Anyway, hope you have a wonderful time, because this is actually all really fun once you prioritize your own happiness while dealing with others :D

I just don't see the point of complaining and trying to change your current partner. People should be who they are and not change majorly for anyone else.

You should do something with your life.

Counterpoint: this word "should" and this whole expectation is very toxic. There is no need to "do something with your life". If you're fine where you are now and how your life is going, then you should keep doing that. Many people want to somehow instill a yearning in you to "get more", but there must be a limit sometime right? You can't always have more? Maybe this is just your point to stop, and you should have a partner who's also fine with this and doesn't suddenly want you to change.

It's not a problem though. If you as a pirate want the business model of selling copies to not exist anymore, everyone always pirating would achieve that and not be a problem.

Request the developers to change it. Or stop using the app.

Why are the apps involved such secrets? 🤣 Porn?

When I go outside and see someone cute, I go up to them and say "hey sorry for disturbing you, but I thought you were very cute, would you maybe like to get to know each other?" and then go from there. Most of the time the response is "no", but met some cool people through this.

Meh, I mean sure capitalism sucks, but these people would try to exploit others for personal gain under any system.
