i've had a website made with svelte 5 for about a year now, and i've moved back to pure html/css/js. why did we overcomplicate everything with modern web.
my main issue was that i wanted to incorporate my old website into my new one that you could access via a url (e.g. https://mauve.beer/old). unfortunately, my old website uses svelte 5!
it turns out that it's next to impossible to run what vite bundles without a webserver because of some dynamic import shenanigans. vite does produce html, css and js files out of your svelte code.
there is no reason why it shouldn't work without a webserver. and yet. this is so stupid. it's just an html file.
i really want to make this work, but i've somehow always miserably failed. why must everything be so complicated nowadays.
this is a shot in the dark, but if you could somehow figure out a solution to this, i beg you, please send me a dm on irc or an email. i really want it to just work. but it cannot.

i was watching tv the other day, and i forgot how much i hate 24/7 news
channels. they're so toxic, trying to squeeze every bit of information
possible and mikling it all day. i hate them. journalism wasn't meant
to be this.
i'm french, so i have access to a total of 4 different channels: BFMTV,
CNews, LCI and franceinfo. BFM is pretty leftist, but is considered the
worst of them because of how unfrequently they fact check things. CNews
is by far the most right-oriented one. Nobody gives a shit about LCI,
and franceinfo is the "public" one (financed by govt). all of them are
usually relaying the same piece of news over and over again all day,
just commenting on AFP's news feed (also financed by the govt!). it's
so boring. why do they even exist.
major tv channels (TF1, france2, etc.) also have news sections every
day at ~8pm, and those attract a lot of people every day because people
don't want to tune into BFMTV all day to hear the same things all day.
i'm surprised they still exist. idk how it's financially viable. i'm
sure their journalists are bored of talking about the same things all
day. why do they exist. waste of money and tv space.
