Standard 80x24 terminal with elinks. Number of times needed to hit page down to read article content of desktop page 13. Number of times to start reading content on amp page 0. Don't really get the amp hate.

Yea because in 2018, using an 80x24 terminal is THE WAY to browse the web. Cool. Thanks.

On desktop you get the pie diagram and all other images blown up to full display resolution. I can't fathom how they continue to get this so ridiculously wrong. It's not difficult.

AMP page without JS: https://i.imgur.com/aktBoAh.png https://i.imgur.com/aktBoAh.png Desktop page without JS: https://i.imgur.com/gGYrjej.png https://i.imgur.com/gGYrjej.png AMP page with Google blocked: https://i.imgur.com/aktBoAh.png https://i.imgur.com/aktBoAh.png Desktop page with Google blocked [EDIT: actually, the screenshot I used here was wrong – the desktop page works perfectly with Google blocked, everything works] I get the AMP hate – several of my friends blackhole the entire IP ranges from Google/Facebook/Amazon in their router, and Bloomberg’s desktop site works without that. And those that don’t use uMatrix and block JS by default – and the Bloomberg Desktop site works there, too, while the AMP site fails there as well.

  The third and fourth links are the same as the first and second.

    Yes, because the images were identical so I didn’t bother uploading them again.

Lol, the terminal is for plebs. REAL programmers read it straight from the framebuffer.

  Bah! Real engineers have their ethernet cable plugged straight into a logic analyzer, and read the raw packet data.

    No, REAL engineers plug their Ethernet cables directly into butterflies. (And for Emacs folks, that's C-u C-u C-x M-c M-butterfly.)

Half the time it doesn't work. The other half I want to open it in chrome anyway so that it's in my history of recent tabs, so that I can navigate away from it easily, so that I can open it in background and go back to doing whatever I was doing before.
