Server rendered sucks ass. Why would I want to pay for an always running server just to render a webpage when the client’s device is more than capable of doing so?
Centralization is just pushed because it’s easier for companies to make money off servers.
You don’t have to render everything on the server, a good hybrid is usually the way to go. Think SEO and initial response. I think lemmy-ui could will also benefit from it (google results)
Yeah, it will give you the best of both worlds, but at a fundamental level I still hate that I have to pay for an always running server just for SEO, if I can get away with it I’d much prefer a purely static site that has to have its content pages rebuilt when they change.
The solution is quite simple though: dogfood.
Developers must test their website on a dialup connection, and on a computer with only 2GB of RAM. Use remote machines for compilation-like tasks.
Totally, pretty much all browsers include a way to simulate network conditions. Chrome also includes a way to simulate CPU slowdown.
and yet the very fact that you have to go out of your way to enable them means people don’t use them like they should.
