It's not about the ideas spreading genetically, it's about sending a clear and unambiguous message that if you act in a particular way you will be met with particular consequences.
The problem is ensuring the consequences actually occur. If that was an easy problem to solve we wouldn't have anything like the crime rates we do.
I think the author is just sick of the bloat and pointless garbage that so many sites now include. I was all ready to argue with them from the title because, to me, an SPA is a Single Page APPLICATION, which can run without communicating with the server. There's places where those are useful, but the pointless, annoying trend of loading bits of pages via javascript that the author is calling out needs to stop.
If you're making an ecom system, don't, for example, make the product page load a page frame work, then load the description, price, stock levels and whatever else with javascript initiated requests. Instead render the whole thing server side and return it in one request. It'll massively reduce the load on your servers, perform better for your users, and make your pages more indexable. Feel free to use the fancy CSS animations the author suggests, at least they degrade sensibly, with no loss of functionality.
It's been two hours and I don't see a PugJesus explaination post. This has me worried. Have they been "saved" by Vikings?

Just in case you haven't come across it yet, there's a community for all things bat here: !bats@lemmy.world
It tracks the location of a body (or anything else that causes the same sort if interference), but it doesn't identify the person, and as such they can reasonably make the claim that this technology is privacy preserving.
Of course, as with anything that claims to anonymise data, or preserve privacy, that assertion starts to fall down when you use the resulting data in conjunction with other data sources, even if they too claim to be privacy preserving.
I think you're being unreasonable here. The "quora" circle isn't the same as the "insane people" circle, but it does fit neatly within it.
I can honestly say I know nithing about @notarobot@lemmy.zip. I was notabot@lemm.ee before it shut down, and I had another notabot account on another server that shutdown too, but I've not had or used the username notarobot anywhere.
My username was supposed to be a joke when signup processes all seemed to demand the you prove that you're "not a bot".
Thanks for a well rounded write up. I always enjoy reading your posts.
I was hoping they'd back down because it's a stupid idea, but at least we have longer to convince them of that now.
How does that benefit the community? Unless you manage to cut off a significant chunk of their trade they'll survive and have even more reason to oppose pedestrianisation. You're not giving them a way out, or a chance to change their position, so they can only harden their opposition to it.
Let them experience the benefits of pedestrianisation and you're likely to see their attitude change, and see them become a proponent of it instead.
Revenge is sometimes an enjoyable fantasy, but it rarely ever brings positive changes to people's opinions.
