A project I saw linked in the css post, and wanted to share, because I love the insanity.

This says it’s not enough to ban JavaScript: we also have to ban CSS.
The Internet was a mistake.
The www in particular
Browsers too. Oh, and migth actually want to stop using computers in general if they have an Internet connection
How about just fires to use smoke signals?
It worked for my grandfathers, and it seems comforting
reminds me of the guy that made a video in excel with cells as pixels... i enjoy the flex, but damn
About 20 years ago I made a script that converts pictures to HTML tables. Back then RAM was a severe problem for this, and even for more powerful hardware browsers tended to just crash on larger pictures.
I checked it again a few years later, and things looked way better. I guess using CSS it’d be rather trivial nowadays to do the same with a short video by just cycling through showing/hiding tables of each frame.
the “new” hotness is grid layout
I remember that too but it’s been so long I can’t remember if I dreamed it up. Do you happen to have the video/link?

It’s a fairly common thing on onion websites, especially those who offer real-time interaction (e.g. some onion web-chats), they use this
Transfer-Encoding: chunkedmethod for fetching messages and content because JS is often discouraged and sometimes automatically blocked by onion-enabled navigators while surfing DW. HTML Forms with submit buttons are also used for this kind of interaction.What’s wrong with forms?
