Scrubbles ( @scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech ) English27•5 months agoI hate articles with headlines like this. “Now what?”. Well, I’m gonna keep on shitting, I don’t really care what either company chooses to do
LoamImprovement ( @LoamImprovement@beehaw.org ) 1•5 months ago“Now what?”
noodlejetski ( @noodlejetski@lemm.ee ) 18•5 months agogod, I hate the way TechCrunch is rendering on my phone.
Evkob ( @Evkob@lemmy.ca ) 17•5 months agoIt renders a lot better on my phone, but this is why reader mode is a necessary feature for browsing the web on a smartphone.
ranandtoldthat ( @ranandtoldthat@beehaw.org ) English2•5 months agoResponsive design was a neat idea, but has failed in the context of the modern web and tech industry.
Admiral Patrick ( @ptz@dubvee.org ) English12•5 months agoThat’s not responsive design’s fault. When done properly, it works great. Too many sites just implement it poorly and insist on the CVS receipt layout even on mobile (e.g. recursive CVS receipts). Gotta cram those margins full of ads, ya know?
TehPers ( @TehPers@beehaw.org ) English1•5 months agoLooks like they’re using fat margins instead of max-width and nobody thought to use media queries to reduce them on mobile…
Edit: I should add the page renders fine on my phone, FF android. I’m not sure what’s going on in the screenshot, maybe desktop view?
ranandtoldthat ( @ranandtoldthat@beehaw.org ) English1•5 months agoWhen done properly it is indeed a great practice.
But so many don’t. The way the modern tech industry functions makes it hard to consistently get right, sadly. I’ve left two companies in the past two years where computational resources for automated testing and validation were simply not available. One didn’t have any manual QA beyond the implementing developer. I’m in a better situation now, but those companies still exist. They’re not exactly tiny startups either.
For all its strengths, without any amount of validation, RWD is very likely to lead to such issues. Unfortunately many industry execs are unsympathetic, seeing RWD as little more than a way to get two things for the price of one.

kingthrillgore ( @KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml ) 8•5 months agoSmoke a cigar and celebrate. Obviously it sucks for those laid off, but its clear that the EU is saving the world.
Big P ( @peter@feddit.uk ) English6•5 months agoYeah, I don’t want every single company to merge into the big 3 I actually want competition
thejml ( @thejml@lemm.ee ) English8•5 months ago“Now what?” == Layoffs apparently. About 350 people or 31% of iRobot’s staff.
