@ciourte @netopwibby Needless to say I've only heard of some Spanish low-cost #MVNO offering one device only in a #prepaid #bundle when #FirefoxOS was unveiled at the #MWC in #Barcelona based off coverage in @ct_Magazin at the time.

  • Cuz I remember #WebDevs like @fuchsiii really loving it because it was the then hot & fresh #HTML5 + #JS6 + #CSS3 combo to make it super-easy to do #Apps. All one needs to build an app was #Firefox as Browser and the ability to basically zip' it.

Alas @Mozilla deciding on purpose to literally splinter the market by letting #MNO|s and MVNOs run their #AppStore|s instead of a #centralized model, making the situation worse than in the "P.R." #China where there are several vendor-independent #AppStores for #Android.

  • "Conspiracy Theorists" even suggested that this was deliberate self-sabotage to benefit #Google and #Android, tho needless to say Firefox OS aimed at devices & specs that were too low for Android.

Still, I'm #StillMad at #Mozilla for faceplanting Firefox OS cuz it had the easiest way to get started and a good architecture being every #App is just a #WebApp and all the system calls were standard #HTML5 permissions and nothing fancy.

@AmenZwa also I think a lot.of #WebDevs need to stop showing off and instead start building unique, sleek & privacy-respecting sites...

@matuzo seriously, thank you for your #web #accessibility cookbook!

We're currently fixing accessibility on our site (medium sized web shop) and nearly *every* page in your book hits a topic right before our eyes!

And it's clearly written and does not over explain things. It's just on point.

Never had such a strong recommendation for a book for #frontend #webdevs

@frumble @mozilla Und ja, alle #WebDevs die ich kenne waren begeistert wo #FirefoxOS vorgestellt wurde weil dann ist #Apps programmieren umso einfacher und ohne Bullshit möglich...

  • Doof nur dass weder ich noch @fuchsiii noch sonstwer den ich kannte je ein #Firefox-OS - Gerät kaufen konnten, egal wieviel es gekostet hätte.

Die einzigen FirefoxOS-Geräte in der #EU waren #SimLock'd / #NetLock'd #Prepaid-Handys die nur in Spanien bei Telefonica nur als Bundle mit SIM in Shops verkauft wurden!

Continued thread

Not to mention that sadly, @landley is right:

If #FLOSS would result in good #UI & #UX, #WebDevs like @fuchsiii would be out of their jobs!

And sadly that is a problem that only few [i.e. #Canonical at least does] adress [on their core product @ubuntu LTS Desktop - even tho @opensuse / #OpenSUSE's #YaST may be seen as easier to work with for entry-level #Sysadmins since it's a better reimagination to the #Windows Control Panel]...

--German below--
Since many people use now browsers with "do not track" as default and declining cookie and as someone who implements stats in line with DSVGO GDPR laws, my statistics for most sites are pretty useless. The only eventually data I get from Google Search Console and paid Google Ads clicks (if there is a campaign).
I would love to hear from other #webdevs how they deal with it.
And I am pretty confident, if your sites don't have millions of visits, and you implemented everything in line with laws, without any dark patterns, this is pretty similar.

How do we sell this to our clients?

Da viele Menschen heute Browser mit "do not track" als Standardeinstellung verwenden und Cookies ablehnen, als jemand, der Statistiken im Einklang mit den DSVGO GDPR-Gesetzen implementiert, sind meine Statistiken für die meisten Websites recht nutzlos geworden. Die einzigen noch aussagekräftigen Daten erhalte ich von Google Search Console und bezahlten Google Ads Klicks (wenn es eine Kampagne gibt).
Ich würde gerne von anderen #webdevs hören, wie sie damit umgehen.
Und ich bin ziemlich zuversichtlich, dass, wenn Ihre Websites nicht Millionen von Besuchern haben und Sie alles im Einklang mit den Gesetzen implementiert haben, ohne irgendwelche dunklen Muster, dies ziemlich ähnlich ist.

Wie können wir das unseren Kunden verkaufen?

@d1pl0mat I think yours looks well too.

I just have a preference for green and amber consoles, but that's just me doing sysadmin, networks & storage, whereas a lot of #WebDevs use it less as a #BusinessCard and more as a means to impress potential customers and visitors.

And whilst mine isn't spechal at all [ @fuchsiii did cleanup the fuckshitstack of code I wanted to put on ] I know a lot of #WebDevs do kinda struggle when it comes to making decisions on their own site.
