Assuming they ever learned it in the first place, of course.

i wonder if these people ever ponder the reasons why an election between biden and trump would even be close. why are democrats so disliked every election that there has to be a GOTV campaign every four years?
I hope SMIC can produce good RISC-V chips and that I can abandon this bullshit amd64 architecture once and for all.
Unfortunately even the default Lemmy UI is pretty heavy. A clean load of this page and the comments transferred 1.92MB on the wire (6.61 decompressed). I blame Inferno. Not because Inferno is specifically bad, but because I have been convinced that anything that is React or React-like is bad.
On Diethex it's 204kB and 217kB respectively, and that's because the OP's image is 108kB.
A comparable Reddit page https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1bja5qu/robert_de_niro_80_and_his_10months_old_daughter/ initially loads about as much as Hexbear, even including all the ad scripts, but transfers megabytes more as you load and scroll comments.
Where they super begin to differ is that one Reddit tab is currently sitting at 400MB+ RAM usage, compared to Hexbear's 140, compared to Diethex's 20**.
** I think one thing that is hard to track about page memory usage is the web browser will over-allocate to speed up page navigation and then eventually reclaim when you have mostly settled where you are. So after a few minutes it's now:
DietHex: 20MB
Hexbear: 60MB
Reddit: 160-260MB
When Trump got COVID I was having the most fun I'd had since the pandemic began. Too bad he didn't go out like Stan Chera.
I really like what you've done but I hope you consider changing max-inline-size from 60ch to 70 or 80ch. It would improve the desktop readability in my opinion while still not having the lines wrap too often.
So I did a few comparisons. On ungoogled-chromium on my 2012 Macbook Air I disabled the loading of image assets. Just accessing the home pages with caches disabled took:
photon: 403kB transferred (1.2MB)
default: 2.0MB transferred (8.5MB)
Then I tried it from Firefox Focus on my iPhone SE (comparable to iPhone 6S) and both pages seemed to perform about the same as I scrolled around. I even set Photon to compact mode so it looked a bit more like the default Lemmy UI. My only other remark is it seemed to have an issue on Photon's compact mode where the page displayed was longer than the actual content, so a lot of white space trailed at the bottom.
I only learned of Photon from your comment and I have to say it's pretty impressive as a front end with only 9 months of dev time on it. I'm partial to it because I'm also right now working on a project in Svelte designed with the same idea: to do a better version of something which already exists.
P.S. Just saw this amazingly coincidental post about how web pages are mega bloated these days. https://lemmy.ml/post/13314292
apparently it's called "Reading Recovery" but i haven't found a succinct summary of what it actually is
If you're not using Firefox (mascot: red fox), then you really should. Stop using the ad browser made by the ad company Google.
