This blog pranks you with changing titles when you switch tabs (some nsfw), then welcomes you back with a paragraph inciting you to disable Javascript. That's nice, but I actually need Javascript in my browser to do real stuff.
- mattbettinson 1y agoHoly that is so funny
- manmal 1y agoI felt just a tiny bit violated by that. Why does this person care about whether I have JS enabled? What’s the term for author’s affliction? Militant techno-minimalism? The cynicism is also pretty strong, in the first call-out, asking HN audience to jump to the TLDR, because?
- slig 1y agoYes, I remembered that other nut-case that shows a NSFW image if the HTTP referrer is from HN.
- boesboes 1y agof'ing annoying and pretentious.
- bloppe 1y agoIt's like 3 lengthy paragraphs that don't even get to the point until the end. The writing wasn't particularly good in the first place, so I just closed the tab when I saw that.
- zahlman 1y agoThat's what NoScript is for, so you can whitelist the things that need it. Do modern browsers even still offer the built-in option to disable JavaScript unilaterally?
- matltc 1y agoChrome does
- slightwinder 1y agoMore important: Why does that person mobs people for using javascript, but then only displays an ugly trashy side when you disable it?
- chinathrow 1y agoIndeed - and the author goes on to show a screenshot of Google Trends which, I'm sure, won't work without JavaScript turned on.
- sorcercode 1y agogot to admit, as a prank it's pretty funny. fwiw, it's trivially easy to block javascript per site today with uBlock Origin. Firefox + UBlock Origin really is the panacea of a de-shittified web.
