World Wide Web is a joke | |

Web is full of shitty JavaScript which are full of 3rd party craps | |
that will make your PC turn into a room heater | |

yeah if the web were created without JavaScript, it would be much | |
more like Gopher space. No surveillance, no Ads, just plain ol | |
documents | |

I like the ability to individually customize the look and feel of | |
your website and have embeddable media, so I still prefer the Web if | |
you avoid JS. It would be pretty boring if everything looked plain. | |

#1341 That's how it was in 1995 (when I got online with 14.4K dialup | |
into a SunOS shell). There were at least as many FTP and gopher sites | |
as WWW. Probably spend most of my time in ncftp, ircII, and pine. | |

Thanks captian obvious. | |

I don't get, it, though. I mean, couldn't we have a web protocol | |
that pretty much is just web 1.0 ? HTML and CSS and nothing else? | |
__[2022-04-03(Sun)19:10:54 #1383]_____________________________________ | |
ah yes back when it wasnt webshit but for fun and getting compromised | |
__[2022-08-26(Fri)11:10:31 #1581]_____________________________________ | |
Yep, agree! | |

It already exists. It's called HTTP 1.0. Just make your own | |
website like I did that meets those criteria and we should all | |
network. https://leftychad.net/ | |

#1378 you are a joke. go educate yourself on how protocols work. no | |
one forces you to use newer versions of http - use http1.0 if you | |
wish. also gemini is a thing | |

Web is dead to me. Long live Gopher. | |

#1341, someone here is old enough to remember big flashy ads in | |
<marquee> tags and 1x1 third-party GIFs inserted on the pages purely | |
for surveillance, both topics never had anything to do with JS, | |
there was little to no JS back then. | |
__[2023-04-22(Sat)15:16:52 #1685]_____________________________________ | |
#1669 Surveillance is much much easier with js, as fingerprinting | |
is very hard to avoid | |

#1669 marquee tag is kino if not abused by ads (every other form | |
of abuse is fine) | |
__[2023-04-25(Tue)13:38:00 #1697]_____________________________________ | |
It's true about marquee. They look awesome when they're not abused. | |
__[2023-04-27(Thu)14:35:00 #1702]_____________________________________ | |
I just wish more forum software would allow it | |
__[2023-05-01(Mon)11:58:24 #1706]_____________________________________ | |
Anybody interesting in patching lynx to allow the marquee tag? | |
__[2023-05-03(Wed)01:21:31 #1707]_____________________________________ | |
Marquee is a non-standard tag introduced in IE. It did look radical, | |
however. Not that I miss it | |

It's the think that's missing to make gopher and the terminal cool | |
again. If we have it, we'll be able to relive the good old days by | |
hitting just the right amount of popularity | |

Gopher is what it is because it's simple. You don't need scrolling | |
text to display information. Having a standard way of encryption | |
would be an improvement if you don't want to use it over i2p. | |
