    It’s definitely the smaller viewports that give the most trouble, and as I am a stubborn mini phone user, I make sure that my projects are responsive to smaller screen sizes.

    The other part is that I’m not a front end dev, so these are just my personal projects and I don’t know all the hacks to really optimize layouts on smaller screen sizes.




  • Apple TV is the only set top box that doesn’t show you ads and sell your watch data up and down a river. The battery life on Apple silicon laptops are unmatched and it’s a better OS than windows by far and the big desktop environment packages on Linux don’t match it either (It also doesn’t feel right not just using terminal/bash on Linux for me either, GUIs are overrated)

    Lastly I feel better about my data privacy using the full Apple ecosystem compared to using Google’s full ecosystem. (But will admit using an open source rom focused on privacy and disconnect from any cloud service would be the most effective, I do want some level of convenience )

    At first glance the rules seem to make sense and be straightforward until you start dabbling into screen size responsiveness and display and layout rules and then you get into questions like “what the hell is flex box and how is it different from flex. Why is this element randomly wrapping, selector specificity is joke and everything’s made up and the rules don’t matter.




  • I mean you can provide audit findings and results and it’s a pretty big part of vendor management and due diligence but at some point you have to accept risk in using open source software that can be susceptible to supply chain hacks, might be poorly maintained, etc or accept the risk of taking the closed source company’s documentation at face value (and that can also be poorly maintained and susceptible to supply chain attacks)

    There’s got to be some level of risk tolerance to do business and open source doesn’t actually reduce risk. But it can at least reduce enshittification
