It'll also break for a lot of of people with impaired vision and screen readers. Screen readers can't keep up with the insane development pace of JS and CSS and so people with impaired vision are going to be left behind. It's

Yep, sorry. The default browser for Debian Linux. I've also found it's blocking firefox forks like Palemoon 33. But really old browsers from the 2015 era don't get blocked (yet). User-agent spoofing does nothing.

I have tried spoofing the user agent. No effect. It seems to be if the browser is new enough then if JS is turned off it blocks you. But if you use a really old browser (~2015 Firefox) that doesn't support modern stuff it still allows

Plain HTML and CSS personal site experience can be vastly improved by using server side includes. Your webserver's SSI module is likely just the right amount of templating power so you don't have to re-write the same HTML in $x sp

This is part of why HTTP+HTTPS still has a place for non-commercial non-institutional just for fun/education websites. HTTP+HTTPS is also significantly less fragile than HTTPS-only over any years+ long timescales. Eventually even the t

It is infeasible to pass legislation that is good for human persons as law is not made with human persons' needs in mind. Instead, each of us needs to stop primarily talking on corporate own platforms (like this one). Opera browser had

Exactly. It's not the fault of the youths and it's not the fault of the old. Both it and mine are obviously false claims yet one is accepted as a WSJ article and one is pointed at as silly. My "alternately" was not to sa

Alternately: what happens when a whole generation never gives up control and prevents most born after them from aquiring housing or currency by creating an regulatory environment and economy rigged to only benefit corporations they own? But

If we fundementally cannot know then why are we believing these claimant "persons" at all? These days it's more likely than not that a DMCA claim is not from the copyright owner (or anyone associated with the owner) of what i

Spirituality is not universally a belief in non-reality but it mostly is. This overloading of the word with it's opposite might be useful within their group but I think it'll just cause confusion in a global namespace.

The real problem are the web applications and encasulated web applications (electron, etc) which download their executable code entirely anew each time you run them. They can just add something like require('fs').readFileSync(proc

Yep. And it gets worse. Websites are at least supposedly sandboxed so they are not as much of a risk as running native binaries. But this is getting worse and worse as browsers expose more and more of their host operating system's func

Indeed. Claiming DMCA on something should require KYC for the claimant. If KYC is so easy and un-burdensome that it's being applied everywhere else in our lives surely in such a legal context where 2-parties are central to the dogma th

People seem to forget that the more legislation there is around something the more it is only feasible to do if you are a corporate person. Human persons just don't have the same rights or protections from liabilty.

My browser is a fork of Firefox made for web surfing (as opposed to running javascript applications). It never removed that functionality like FF/Chrome/etc did. Such auto-discovery is included in base Palemoon as it use to be in
