  • Something that I’d like to point out that a lot of people seem to miss, is that power saving is not always about saving money.

    I live off-grid, so for me it’s about not draining my battery bank, which is a precious and limited resource. It can make the difference between getting by on solar power or having to run a generator to recoup the losses.

    Running a generator uses fuel (another limited resource), it’s loud, and produces heat and exhaust. It’s the last thing I ever want to do if I can avoid it. Depending on the time and location it may not even be an option.










  • Something as simple as a slide out menu needs JavaScript and couldn’t really be done server side.

    I’m not trying to tell anyone how to design their webpages. I’m also a bit old fashioned. But I stopped making animated gimmicks many years ago. When someone is viewing such things on a small screen, in landscape mode, it’s going to be a shit user experience at best. That’s just my 2 cents from personal experience.

    I’m sure there are examples of where js is necessary. It certainly has it’s place. I just feel like it’s over used. Now if you’re at the mercy of someone else that demands x y and z, then I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.
