jesus fucking christ what was wrong with having separate versions, why are they forcing this hideous mobile-centric design onto every device

It’s literally the same data with a different style that already exists.

Mobile websites are the :corporate-art: of websites

Mobile websites are the baseline. Most people use the internet through a mobile device most of the time. Desktop versions of websites are, at this point, a relatively niche version not used by the majority.

You literally cannot dismiss the “this website looks better in the app” nag if you don’t have an account. Death to Silicon Valley. Fucking soulless demons.

I think it’s meant to be white space, which I don’t mind, but something about it just looks really shit and poorly executed.

It’s not really wasted if it makes it less mentally taxing to read.

Oh fuck, they finally did it. Wikipedia has a long history of beta testing shit on the French version of the website; this javascript atrocity has been the norm on that version for months now. I was hoping they were gonna drop it but no, it’s now everywhere. It fucking sucks. I hate it with a passion. Less information density, you have to enable JS, switching language for an article goes through an insufferable drop down CSS thingy, everything about it sucks.

German Wikipedia is still using the old design - I think I’ll use that one for a while, until it inevitably reaches this place too.
