- Comment on No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites 1 month ago:
Yes. I think we’re missing each other pinpointing details while meaning the same. Every browser has it’s defaut or “standard” style, nowadays even adapting to the system theme and trying to guess if to use day or night settings etc. Nevertheless it won’t break lines in a reasonable way, won’t deal with footnotes in an acceptable way and either break the layout of pure text pages or the layout of illustrated pages. HTML5 makes these specific things somewhat better as it allows realtively advanced document structure but nevertheless, a few lines of CSS to reflect at least the prinipial character of the document are unlikely to hurt anyone in a worse way than a one-style-fits-all layout for everything will hurt tha vast majority.

That’s not even convincing pedantery. Nobody would assune that a browser’s standard style might be an RFC, IETF- or in any way official standard,

I don’t think. You can’t prove I do! Leave me alone. You’re one of them! I knew it all the time.

Yes , I can read books. I even read one or two of the 1200 around me. Those with the fuckpics and some of the funnier ones, like “Phyänomenologie des Geistes” by Hegel. I wouldn’t have if they had been layouted using browser standards.

ASCII?! Useless, modern witchcraft! Devils work! Give me CCITT-1 or give me death!

Oh, come on. You really want some at least readable output. Things like image borders, consistently positioned images/diagrams, line breaks and page borders. Some whitespace and indentations, too. You just can’t read a couple of pages full of unformatted raw text without massive eye fatigue. I’m all for dumping JS and excessive frameworks, I’d prefer well-formed XHTML over any of that clients-side scripted crap, but totally rejecting CSS is pointless zealotry.
- Comment on No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites 1 month ago:
CSS on the other hand is quite essential to separate layout from content. Which is a good thing, so I can’t really think of a reason for a “no-CSS” rule. Specifically if you can use inline styles as well but in a way more messy way.
- Comment on YSK that if you are planning an outdoor event, you can check where the shade and shadows will fall on a given day and time 1 month ago:
As a design engineer you don’t have CAD software that can predict shading? It’s a pretty trivial function, acrtually. Also, you should know the procedure to construct proper shadows, but sure, that takes a lot more time than having them done by CAD.

Don’t trust ars one inch as soon as they’re getting political. They’re highly manipulative.

Ars technica is full of shit, too, as soon they’re even slightly off the tech trail. Even while on the tech trail they’re massively untrustworthy as soon as their owners’ interests are involved. I’ve kicked them out of my RSS reader long ago. If they really got something exciting I’ll get to know via slashdot, mastodon or feddit. Still I’m suspicious as I at least one time caught them intentionally spreading false information.

Yes, it was. The headline make that absolutely clear.

The same old song. Fascist voters believe that they will profit from fascism while only “the others” will be hurt. Idiots don’t realize that they are nothing but disposable assets to a fascist regime. That’s what fascism is all about.
- Comment on Speed Dreams 2.4.1 Flatpak package now available 2 months ago:
…and for those preferring reasonable package management: the project’s website has Debian packages and source code. Even installers for legacy operating systems that come as a gimmick with budget PCs can be found.
- Comment on Why does it seem like everyone is so good looking and beautiful nowadays? 3 months ago:
This one massively collided with the average social media victim’s absurdity filter, it seems. On reddit it most likely would have got you banned. People tend to destroy, hate or ban what they don’t understand…

- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 3 months ago:
Because he set the general, evil directions for MS. Like keeping users uninformed and locked in, smearing the competition, sabotaging open standards, taking your control over your hardware and data away from users, etc. All happened during evil Bill’s reign.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 3 months ago:
I’m running Linux everywhere incuding the machine I am writing on right now. I have one single dual boot machine with Windows 10 as the mainly used OS for the simple reason that I need to run one specific software (and some of the “ecosystem” around it) that is not available for Linux. The only alternative is Apple which is even worse in my opinion. So I think I’ll be forced to update. All the rest of my daily computing stuff has been moved to Linux for a long time.

I have now idea how somebody might come up with this braindead, unintuitive and irreproducable mnemonic for a JavaScript interpreter but it sounds very much like something Microsoft would do. - Comment on Javascript/Linux is what I call it 4 months ago:
Followed by a short period of separation of content and layout that was ended by returning to the stone age of client-specific Javascript. Another example of “why we can’t have good things”.
- Comment on JPMorgan researchers say they have generated and certified truly random numbers using a quantum computer, a world-first with potential security and trading uses. 4 months ago:
Translation: JPMorgan’s PR department claims something in the hope to profit from the quantum hype now that the AI bubble is expected to burst. Just read the article. Buzzwords and vague techno-babble inflating a story around a physics experiment that has generated some numbers under lab conditions. Probably. The process keeps unspecified but is a “milestone”, provides “power beyond that offered by the most powerful classical supercomputers” (washes even whiter than white!), “the randomness was mathematically certified to be genuine using classical supercomputers” (wow!). etc, etc…

I haven’t bought a single TV in my whole life and I haven’t missed anything important. Whenever I am somewhere where there’s a TV and I’ve got nothing better to do or I’m just curious I zap through the channels whithout finding anything remotely interesting or entertaining 99% of the time. I really wonder what people want with these ad-infestes, annoying trashcans. Aren’t you dumb enough, yet? Try heavy drinking. Preferrably methanol or break fluid…

Reddit is fucking dead, nowadays. You can’t seriously call that “living”. Ok, braindead at least

I’ve been boycotting Amazon since the days when they were an ugly data grabbing bookstore and I’ll happily go on until the end of time.
