A reminder. I was told things just work: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49071380 And now you're repeating what I already said and somehow pretending it's an argument with something I didn't say.

Lol. Even the hamburger menu doesn't work on htmx.org without Javascript. I'll let you find any working examples yourself. Most sites won't work or will be broken, too. Obviously You have to actually try and work on progres

None of the things HTMX adds will work. Which is easy to test by just turning off Javascript on most (any?) examples or sites using HTMX. Because none of that is standard, none of that is understood by browsers, and requires HTMX to work. W

It's a 14kb library that invents its own templating syntax and DSL and also requires the backend to conform to its DSL. Yes, it's smaller than some other frameworks, but let's stop with "doesn't require JS" nd

> The GDPR doesn’t allow opt-out consent to count as consent. wat GDPR says that opt-out is the default, and if you are asking for consent, it had to be clear, unambiguous, and with both chouces clearly present.

This has nothing to do with cookies, and everything with pervasive and evasive tracking. E.g. storing your precise geolocation for 12 years: https://x.com/dmitriid/status/1817122117093056541

This is indeed a rather good implementation of ehat GDPR requires: clear unambiguous language, an opt-out available immediately. This is the definition of informed consent

That was the absolute minimal example of where "fundamentals" immediately devolve into a very specific code targeting a very specific API. See also sibling comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49027094

It's not just because of that. Everything is steeped in OpenGL API. All the "fundamentals" are about OpenGL. Another link floated to the top of HN discussion just now, and every sibgle link there is better than these "fu
