Social media will be fixed by - wait for it…

Now.

Done. Fixed it, you may thank me later.

Yours,

B-TR3E - the man who fixed social media

Years ago, I ripped parts of my relatively small VHS collection - at least the part that wasn’t copied over and over. The low output quality and slowliness of the process finally got me to abandon the idea. I ripped maybe a dozen movies or less and none of these still are in my collection. All of them replaced by way better copies. OTOH video codecs were not what they are today and a recent VHS rip might look a lot better at smaller file sizes. Idk about audio quality but mine was abyssmal; absolutely no competition to DVD audio.

Did you learn something useful?

Yes. I think we’re missing each other pinpointing details while meaning the same. Every browser has it’s defaut or “standard” style, nowadays even adapting to the system theme and trying to guess if to use day or night settings etc. Nevertheless it won’t break lines in a reasonable way, won’t deal with footnotes in an acceptable way and either break the layout of pure text pages or the layout of illustrated pages. HTML5 makes these specific things somewhat better as it allows realtively advanced document structure but nevertheless, a few lines of CSS to reflect at least the prinipial character of the document are unlikely to hurt anyone in a worse way than a one-style-fits-all layout for everything will hurt tha vast majority.

That’s not even convincing pedantery. Nobody would assune that a browser’s standard style might be an RFC, IETF- or in any way official standard,

I don’t think. You can’t prove I do! Leave me alone. You’re one of them! I knew it all the time.

Yes , I can read books. I even read one or two of the 1200 around me. Those with the fuckpics and some of the funnier ones, like “Phänomenologie des Geistes” by Hegel. I wouldn’t have if they had been layouted using browser standards.

ASCII?! Useless, modern witchcraft! Devils work! Give me CCITT-1 or give me death!

Oh, come on. You really want some at least readable output. Things like image borders, consistently positioned images/diagrams, line breaks and page borders. Some whitespace and indentations, too. You just can’t read a couple of pages full of unformatted raw text without massive eye fatigue. I’m all for dumping JS and excessive frameworks, I’d prefer well-formed XHTML over any of that clients-side scripted crap, but totally rejecting CSS is pointless zealotry.

CSS on the other hand is quite essential to separate layout from content. Which is a good thing, so I can’t really think of a reason for a “no-CSS” rule. Specifically if you can use inline styles as well but in a way more messy way.

Tsss… Firefox, NoScript, Ublock origin and Tracker control (via f-droid.org). Also actively cursing trackers’ employees, their wives, children, houses and pets using tradited ancient Roman ban curses. (Yes, I am speaking Latin. And I do have a black cat.)

I’d recommend Dr. Ramones’ therapeutic procedure.

Which is sort of obvious because Tor discourages using ADSL etc. for relays. The question is if I2P will be doing better.

Well, if it’s not DNS then most probably the routing might have been set wrong. Faulty netfilter rules are less likely but possible.

What’s your browser’s DNS setting? Ping is using the system wide settings and some browsers (FF) might use DNS via HTTP. Idk if mullvad are providing the latter or where you set your DNS server when connecting.

Free access to information should be a human right. Wait… according to the European convention of human rights it is. Something is stinking here…
