One big thing I hate about capitalism is the trend of "UI stuff that looks flashy but performs like shit"
Sure do love to have 50MB of bullshit poorly optimized Javascript visual effects crammed into my browser on every page. The cute little animations definitely make up for the fact that it takes like 5 seconds every time I load my private messages.
I've had a job where I needed to know weather conditions in multiple cities, and weather.gov is like a flat grey, white and powder blue excel sheet. Meanwhile weather.com is covered in all kinds of animations, and videos, and has much more modern and busy looking visual design and a hundred ads. It's so slow, and if weather.gov was down I'd be so mad that I had to glance at weather.com.
Love you weather dot gov, your minimalist design and minimal system requirements are beautiful to me.
wunderground is like the centrist option, and it has a funny name too
I mostly just use the 10 day forecast graph they make which is just a slightly more info dense version of weather.gov's 2 day hourly weather forecast graph.
Ah, I usually just need to know if the weather in 1-10 cities will be bad enough to shut down traffic today, I haven't paid a lot of attention to the extended forecast.
I shit you not, you can easily code an app that does exactly that, it's not even all that hard to do and it's free to run. I just followed a YouTube video.
If I leave a website open in a background tab for two days, and it's using more resources than when I was actively using it, then the company that made that website should lose its website license and have to go back to snail mail.
Every time I stumble across a gorgeous, unaltered web-1.0-ass website, it is a gift. I also like using Ublock to element-pick shit out of websites until they look nice though.
