    JS-based webapps are a lot like adding salt to one's food. There's a point where you're simulating food with colored salt. No matter how appealing it looks, it is still nasty and harmful.

    Had to restart #Palemoon because it was getting slow. Too much #JavaScript / #JabbaShit bloating up its memory and CPU consumption. I'd really like it if most sites went on a JS diet and cut out most of the unwanted and unnecessary scripts.

    Probably time to look into replacing Rutabaga (the Lenovo IdeaPad with 2G of RAM and 32G of eMMC disk). I was using it to look up some instructions for something I was doing on another machine. One link opened YouTube in another tab and immediately froze the machine.

    After a reboot, I went back in. The next link opened a tab full of #JavaScript. The #JabbaShit, predictably, sucked up all the RAM and froze the machine again.

    Then I thought, I won't use the browser at all. Opened an IDE, which immediately started downloading updates and again froze the machine.

    I think #sonTwo had the same sort of issues with a different model (but similar specs) IdeaPad. He had to replace it with something that has better specs.

    @musicman @strypey Also, in the process of reading about it, I came across https://nu.federati.net/url/266568 [wapo]

    Turn off #JavaScript / #JabbaShit and their “turn off your adblocker” garbage won’t interfere.

    There are still a number of places where I saw “underfunded and ineffective”, but this is someone that worked there (possibly during the time when Trump is said to have shut down PRT).

    If I get TME* this week, I'll set up a #Friendica instance for !fnetworks ... membership is only available to people with currently active Federati accounts.

    I was going to set up #Pleroma, but the PleromaFE interface has too much #JavaScript / #JabbaShit piled up ... It causes my browsers to repeatedly pop up warnings about a hung script.

    Consider it a testing instance for the time being

    @tk Who remembers multiple 'hung script' dialogs every time they load a page or click 'expand'?

    Oh, that's right, #PleromaFE and its excessive #JabbaShit do that all the time.

    Here's another reason why #JavaScript ( #JabbaShit ) should be *off by default*.

    Note: this is hosted on WIX, so I had to disable styles in order to view the article text. (I suppose there's some #JavaScript / #JabbaShit that re-enables viewing and scrolling, but I'm not about to turn on #JS for a #WIX site.)

    @mangeurdenuage Yeah, that's something I _really_ dislike about #Pleroma. Just to view one post or someone's profile, one has to download bushels of #JabbaShit ( #JavaScript ) and wait through 1-2 dialogs about slow scripts.

    @mangeurdenuage Yeah, #Pleroma is #JavaScrippled and bloated with gobs of unnecessary #JabbaShit ( #JavaScript ). They really need to slim down their use of JS and make the basic page load without it.

    #Mastodon also depends on JS to load much of its content.

    In my opinion, most of this could be done better and faster without the JS (although JS is needed for downloading new posts without a full page reload).

    Hoping I have time and resources to actually write my #vaporware projects (federated socnet servers) soon.

    Masto 3.0 wasn't a pleasant experience when I had a MastoSoc account. In fact, it was painful to use. If PleromaFE wasn't packing so much #JabbaShit that it could choke a pornstar, I'd encourage Mastodon admins to switch software to Pleroma. #JavaScript

    @thatbrickster PleromaFE is a giant ball of #JabbaShit / #JavaScript. Under any kind of a constrained system (slow processor or limited RAM), you'll have difficulties. I routinely receive Firefox & Palemoon pop-ups about hung scripts.

    >I believe browsers became pretty secure in the last decade

    What? Who said this?

    Think about all the things that #JabbaShit / #JavaScript and now #WebASM can do without your knowledge:

    * #Cryptocurrency mining (mostly #Monero) -- I recently saw that about 50% of WebAssembly-enabled sites are doing this.

    * #Browser_fingerprinting and #OS_fingerprinting -- used to track you and your computer as you browse the Web

    * #Phishing -- those pop-ups people get accusing them of being pedophiles and telling them to enter credit card information to pay a fine in order to escape jail are usually done via JS.

    * #Malware installation -- yes, JS is still used to download malware and to start installers (note that some installers no longer use system paths, so they don't need admin rights)

    All these things and many that I have not mentioned are happening **today**, with modern "secure" browsers. Often, the vector is a banner ad (another reason NOT to use a browser that restricts or eliminates scriptblockers, adblockers, and other such protective software.)

    In fact, the web browser is the least secure piece of software on most people's computers, because it runs unverified code from random servers **by default**.

    By the way, to evade #WaPo's anti-private-browsing paywall*, turn off #JS ( #JabbaShit / #JavaScript ).

    * Seeing how stupid and gullible newspaper companies' management is, these organizations deserve to fail.

    I don't know what Bugsnaq is, and I probably will not ever know. Their site is #JavaScrippled, so unless one allows some completely random site to run #JavaScript ( #JabbaShit ) in your browser, you'll never see it.

    Too bad, too! Their article on integrating #Tmux and #Vim sounds like it would be very much worth reading. https://www.bugsnag.com/blog/tmux-and-vim ... until you remember the "unknown site wants to run JS" aspect.

    @vegos A lot of US newspaper sites use JS ( #JabbaShit / #JavaScript ) to obscure their articles, saying "turn off anonymous browsing or log in now". Usually #Dillo works fine (layout is a little funky, but the article content is still readable).

    I was thinking about playing with #SSB, but every app I see requires #NPM (and presumably #Node.js). I'm not looking with the idea of having a pile of #JabbaShit #JavaScript potentially listening on an external interface.
