Few years ago maybe I would agree, but today? Literally everywhere you look there is some “idea” preferred over everything else. I wouldn’t be surprised if they work on JavaScript not because it’s easiest that way, but because the idea was set already and the money were paid., so nobody have a voice here.

It’s basically how things work today. You don’t agree with that? So … Did you agreed on forced updates in Windows? Did you agreed to add “AI feeding” for “open source” browser (Firefox) that was created for “community”? Did you agreed on all of the unfair practices like the rules on YouTube that works retroactive (which is completely unacceptable in many modern law systems)?

I would like to live in a world when people focus on quality instead of quantity. I would like to live in a world where good, old values are honoured. I would like to have freedom for speech. Unfortunately our world have turned the wrong way many years ago and almost nobody is interested in accepting reality, reflecting and returning to stability …
