If the British civil service, even operating under previous administrations, can put together a multi-functioning government domain that runs reasonably well without JavaScript, there’s no reason Google can’t continue to do the same with a ducking web search.

The former works better with JavaScript, that’s true, but it works OK without and that’s the point.

Then again, the civil service were ordered to do it largely out of spite because the government didn’t want to give the plebs any excuse for not being able to use the site.

I’m not sure how to get Google to lose the need for scripting in the same way.

“Instagram” is, at least in my opinion, about as awkward as “Friendica” to say, and has millions of users. It wins marginally on spelling, but how often does the average user write or type the full name of a site anyway?

Ah that horse, always… if only there was a phrase for this. Equining about, maybe.

That one xkcd about tautologies sure is that one xkcd about tautologies.

There can’t be a comma missing from a motto which is itself entirely missing. They threw it in a ditch a few years ago. (I’ll be honest, I thought it had to have been at least 10 years at this point, but Wikipedia says otherwise.)

The example picture at the top of the article is weird.

The window title reads “nano” but the software running in the window is Pico, Nano’s now deprecated (and strangely-licenced) spiritual parent. Or it’s Nano hacked to have a Pico header which, while somewhat fitting with the theme, that would be even more weird.

Thus proving that Tencent is either stupid or is insulting our intelligence.

The blog writer got his account on SO restricted.

As I said elsewhere earlier today, the admins and mods there do not like to be told they are wrong and will shut things down fast if it starts looking like they’ve made a mistake.

Here the mistake appears to be treating Mangione’s account differently to those of other alleged and actual felons, but secondarily, taking retribution against anyone having the absolute audacity to point that out.

We should all be praising the Emperor’s new clothes and none of that truth stuff.

Spelling DOS as DoS is either a cunning joke or one heck of a Freudian slip.
