This girl acts like Wikipedia owners don’t realize this shit. It’s about principles. Modern web is simply cancer that is eating out the planet from the inside, one TCP segment at a time (although with HTTP3 and QUIC we gotta call it a datagram!).
I realize this is just a fun video, but I got super triggered because I am dead tired of ‘Silicon Valley Mindset’ and this girl embodies it to the extreme.
I was so confused when they removed the sidebar and put it into icons.
Yes, replace the space on the right that is being used right now with… nothing. And let’s take away horizontal space instead and make you remember what the icons mean… Why?
I think they they reduced the content width in order to improve readability and it is possible to press a button to expand the content to use the full width of the available space. I just am a bit annoyed that the languages are hidden behind in a popup menu now, because a certain browser I have to use is unable to open that menu (but that’s more of the browser’s fault for not being fully conformant with the web standards (which to be honest I don’t see having the degree of simplicity/complexity that allows someone to easily write a web engine that’s fully conformant))
But that’s what I meant, you can reduce the main content width to increase readability, but the secondary content like languages would still be fine to fill the now empty space.
you can make drop-downs in pure css btw, no need for js
