- tshaddox 4y agoCan you further explain your principles around the web? I'm curious to hear more. For instance, it sounds like you don't think web sites ought to be able to distribute JavaScript which executes on your computer in order to generate a user interface, but it seems you do think web devs have the right to utilize your internet bandwidth to download markup from a server in order to generate a user interface. Is that the case, and if so, why do you make that distinction?
