      I’m all for reducing the size of webpages with garbage bloat but a little CSS for readability on this site would have gone a long way.

      Ps. thanks for sauce

        I don’t agree with him, but if you read the last appendix, this mf wrote half an essay on why he prefers to have basically no styling

        The Opera browser of old had a menu with custom styles (a few default plus you could add your own), I think it had one that converted to sans serif, that plus a columns width one would be perfect for this site

          Modern Firefox has “Reader View” that does a similar thing. It’s just less customizable… because it’s modern Firefox.

          Does a disservice to the color-coded table on this article, though.

      The appendices of that post could use a rewrite. They read weird:

      An example we’ve discussed before, is at a well-known, prestigious, startup that has a very left-leaning employee base, where everyone got rich, on a discussion about the covid stimulus checks, in a slack discussion, a well meaning progressive employee said that it was pointless because people would just use their stimulus checks to buy stock.

      Is harder to load than pubg a joke or an actual metric?

        While reviews note that you can run PUBG and other 3D games with decent performance on a Tecno Spark 8C, this doesn’t mean that the device is fast enough to read posts on modern text-centric social media platforms or modern text-centric web forums. While 40fps is achievable in PUBG, we can easily see less than 0.4fps when scrolling on these sites.
