You’ll never find such organized scam call centers with voluntary workers anywhere outside India. Of course there are scam call centers in Myanmar and Cambodia, but they kidnap people for those jobs. And African scammers aren’t that organized. They don’t have buildings full of scammers.

Thanks for your comment. I agree with some of your points, but I really don’t understand why we should use JS frameworks for everything and render pages on the client’s device. I’m not against JavaScript, but no website should be made entirely of it.

A few years ago, I came across a Chinese e-commerce site where the product page falsely displayed an “out of stock” message until the website fully loaded. Imagine how many people left the page, thinking the product wasn’t available. This issue wouldn’t exist with server-side rendering.

Regarding companies that prioritize users with newer devices, this approach may not be economically beneficial and feels deceptive to users. If they don’t want users with older devices, they should clearly state it on their website by checking the user agent. Amazon.com works even without JavaScript and runs smoothly on all devices. Any company serious about its profits should prioritize user experience, and making a webpage lightweight is one of the best ways to achieve that. It seems like these JS frameworks and their modules aren’t really about improving user experience. What’s even more concerning is that many newcomers to programming rely on these frameworks without understanding basic HTML or JavaScript.

There are many older people who still use their old laptops, and buying newer models makes it harder for them to adapt. Throwing out older devices increases e-waste. This makes the behavior of big tech companies seem hypocritical—like Apple, which stopped including chargers with new iPhones while claiming to be environmentally friendly.

Back in 2011, we could use YouTube on our laptops without any issues. So why not make older versions available for older devices? I understand that companies want to block bots, but if that’s the goal, why allow old device user agents to access the site in the first place? If they assume all older devices are potential bots but still want users from those devices, why not provide an older frontend for signed-in users?

I’m sorry for the rant, but this is how I feel about modern web development.

It took me 3 hours to think and write that article. Maybe you wouldn’t call it AI generated if it was actually AI generated.

Do people actually read the whole AI generated article just to find out the country name?

People aren’t willing to volunteer because of the hardware requirements for running a full Ethereum node and 32 ETH for staking. There are centralized staking pools which everyone uses, where people trusting those pools with there money.

And if a Bitcoin mining pool starts doing something suspicious, the miners can quickly switch to another pool. The miners have a choice in this case.

Proof of stake is making the crypto centralized by the stake holders, also the ethereum blockchain size is huge compared to Bitcoin, making it even more centralized because less people are willing to volunteer except the stake holders.

At least crypto is allowing people send money without relying on paypal or other big tech.

When the media explains mumbo-jumbo about technology.

YouTube is like a time killing drug. I’m trying to get rid of it. Any advice?

Literally

Use Common Sense 2023 instead
