- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. This is an LGBTQ+-friendly community -- if that is a problem for you, you should leave.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts

This disabling scripts thing is really for hardcore privacy enthusiasts. Just install librewolf on your linux box, change the DNS on your router to block ads and you're good.
The reason i say it's for enthusiasts is that it will break everything as soon as you do it. And i mean it. The modern web is not useful without java script. Only websites designed specifically for working without javascript will still work.
I use noscript extension and so every new site I access I have to whitelist it if I don't find it too sus
exactly this, I've been using noscript for at least 15 years by now, probably longer. It's annoying, sometimes. But it's worth it always.
I wish there was a to crowdsource different filter rules. Like maybe have some that are like "safe sites where page is broken if js is disabled"
It also just makes things better. Javascripts tend to make for a worse browsing experience to me.
Sites that don't work without javascripts are broken sites. It's not the lack of javascript functionality that causes them to break. They are in a broken state and should be updated to not rely on javascripts. Leaving scripts disables makes it clear which sites are broken and which sites are worth accessing.
I disagree. The modern web is unusable with all the ads, trackers, captchas, and javascripts. The true modern web consists of the sites which don't have all of those drawbacks. Mbin is a good example of what the modern web can and should be. It's superior to all other fediverse instances I've known.
Those are the sites worth accessing. ^^
I do agree that this is good advice <3
Hi, question, my own website pretty much only uses JavaScript in order to correctly display a list of my blogposts without me having to manually update the html. I did really want a way to have this without JavaScript (or backend services like PHP, I'm still hosted by neocities). Is there?
A good option are static site generators like Hugo.
I am actually less-knowledgeable than you on these kinds of things, as I've still not yet setup my own services and know next-to-nothing about the dev part of web-dev. I have no real experience yet. The things I know come from a user perspective. Sorry to disappoint.
I see, thank you regardless <3
As a tiny webmaster myself I am very relieved to hear that. I do however also have the Commodore Amiga compatible version when you go on my site using an Amiga, which is completely without javascript. :) It automatically sends visitors to there when they visit on an Amiga computer.
