I've installed mojave on that same computer model and the font smoothing switch is there, and the pixels look the same as before, which is great. Nothing has changed.

Maybe they only removed the switch on retina macs.

One thing I don't like is having a 30% chance to have to wait 2-4 seconds whenever I swipe to go to the previous page or click the back button.

You can use goaccess to create a log every day to json, excluding IP while retaining stats for geolocation.

For this you can logrotate daily and run goaccess before rotation. I believe you can keep the server logs for a week for debugging while respecting GDPR.

For today's "realtime" data you can use goaccess on today's log on demand and use a cache.

You can write your custom stat viewers or use goaccess to view time range data from multiple json files.

you can't get away from it if you're doing client side development (not even by switching to yarn).

Explain yourself better or top spreading this nonsense. What do they give you that you couldn't develop without them?

you basically cannot do serious client-side development without one of them

You're going to have to explain that better, otherwise you're just perpetuating that dumb lie.

You absolutely can do serious (whatever that means) client-side development without yarn or npm.

It's also slower. The scrolling is choppy and I shouldn't need a top of the line computer to scroll smoothly through some emails.

Youtube used to have an rss feed for a search term, it was very useful.

Now we have to web scrape the results page because their api requires authentication and who wants to use that for results that are public anyways. I sure don't.

Rss worked great and they removed it. Boo.

Will we ever have a way to tell the browser engine to shrink images to some maximum dimensions before uploading them to the server, without javascript?

Is there any work being done in that direction? Javascript implementations like Pica - http://nodeca.github.io/pica/demo/ are slow even with wasm. It'd also be nice not to rely on javascript for such fundamental things.

Not true in Europe.

Also my bank issues me temporary debit cards for online purchases.

I can chose if the card is for one purchase or for multiple purchases with the same entity, over a period up to 12 months.

I can set a monthly or a total limit.

I can request as many cards as I wish and they are free. I use a new card for every online purchase.

If you're in Europe and want to delete your fb account, wouldn't it be better to wait until GDPR activates, so your data actually gets erased instead of hidden?

I'm going to erase quite a few accounts I'm no longer using on various services, I really hope they won't cheat.
