many javascript libraries that used to work with SeaMonkey have stopped working when a new version of the library has been released

no new features, just rewrites that break things

and of course they also make everything more bloated with each new version

now even Iltalehti does not work with Seamonkey anymore... the articles don't load, it just shows a loading animation and throws the console full of errors

Modern JavaScript development should be considered a war crime as per the Vienna Convention

about two years ago that site worked with lynx

tomman: the problem is incompetence, many web developers today are genuinely unaware about the fact that every element has a static HTML tag that can be used instead of JavaScript

and they probably don't even know about other browsers than Chrome, Edge and maybe Firefox

They work in the IT field without actually knowing anything about computers. They understand some basic programming logic but that's about all

hope that when Google gets forced to divest Chrome, a 10-year moratorium is placed on JS feature dev

no new features allowed, only bugfixes and removal of useless "standards"

And they don't believe when someone tries to educate them about these things, they just become angry

ha, the "move fast and break everything" SV mindset

they just keep insisting that no, everything MUST be made with JavaScript, there is no other way and static HTML tags are old and deprecated and not supported by browsers and server softwares anymore

no amount of evidence will change their minds

maybe allow Google to maintain the current version of chrome, but without adding features, say, for 10 years

so that we get a new IE6

and yeah, I can see IL now is unusable

IS still loads fine :-P

I made the mistake of opening view source

ow.

Sompi: looking through the source... please don't tell me they're serving the article as JSON-in-document, and failing.

search for <<"items":[{"text":"Mika Salminen">>

... damn, that was from a random link I clicked, not something you shared

I mean at iltalehti.fi/politiikka/a/0cce0476-b6e6-4c02-b36f-c74bcd4855db

why so many websites always adopt the same new chromeisms at the same time

Now when Seamonkey has also became useless with news websites, we need that old charset menu back: youtube.com/watch?v=vUdrVRsn5L8

I often browse demoscene and programming related websites that have a lot of old text files and Firefox and Chrome cannot show them correctly

Seamonkey can but sometimes the correct character set is not on the new menu

code page 850 is missing

interesting you mention demoscene

demoscene, "we got you covered up, be it running BASIC code in an emulator, on the real hardware, running current-day code for graphical demos on linux or repurposing old Metro platform displays!"

njsg: i believe gentoo ricers are an offshoot of the demoscene

along with the beta archivists

:)

nsITobin: i think those would like being painted in that light, can't speak to historicity.

now do define gentoo ricers :-P

njsg: shlomifish.org/humour/by-others/funroll-loops/Gentoo-is-Rice.html

Gentoo Ricers scare the hell out of Javascript Bros from the Applestan Union

i don't need gentoo use flags i can build from scratch ..

ah yes you're on LFS?
