I find it quite readable.

  The poster you are replying to was on an Android phone. On my iPhone the section that has the three column layout is screwed up. The first column is fine, but the third column overlaps the second column.

In conversations about webdesign, I usually always mention HackerNews and Stallman's political blog: http://stallman.org/archives/polnotes.html http://stallman.org/archives/polnotes.html Minimalist, all the content is linkable, and they both work even on Links or Opera Mini. I'd prefer this over some fancy layout that don't degrade gracefully, e.g. requiring JS to display static content. It's not everyone who have fast internet and fast laptops.

  You can even easily read it in Lynx :)

    I gave up Lynx in favour of Links2 because problems reading HackerNews. Try navigating to news.ycombinator.com without the https:// https:// and Lynx will freeze completely.

    With Bellard's page it's surely not just because he "couldn't be bothered with JavaScript" or something, because 4th link boots up Linux in a browser window. I wonder if there is some law on the inverse relationship between between bells+whistles and relevance of content.

Stallman doesn't maintain his site and hasn't programmed seriously in a while (read that somewhere on the site). Most old hackers made their site in the 90s and haven't bothered updating it. Same with professors. The most "advanced" website from a CS professor I've had used Bootstrap. At least it works fine and is readable.

On the contrary, I personally think user agent styling is the most appropriate for an old school heavy weight like Stallman.
