#BlamingTheUser instead of #FixingTech is just a #TechBro way of #VictimBlaming!

#FACT: #JavaScript is a clear case of everything wrong with modern tech stacks and it

Espechally when the situation is so obvious...

If your website can't be used with #LynxBrowser over #Iridium and/or #TorBrowser in it's strictest security settings, than it should be illegal!

If you need evidence for the woeful unnecessarity of JS, please go and look up all the #OnionServices that don't!

And yes, #accessibility starts with YOUR #TechStack!

Wounder why @OS1337 uses a 80x25 output and boots with serial terminal configured?

Because it just spits out 9600/8/N/1 and a #VGA #Console over #BIOS interrupts, it can be made super-accessible.

Same reason I use #bash for OS/1337 build scripts: #KissPrinciple makes it more #accessible and easier to reproduce!

@kkarhan @OS1337 luckily js is a building block for accessability right now. Most devs will get it for free in the most places thanks to it. And yes, you could teach them all to just write the Html by hand, but there are drawbacks to that too. Which you made clear you don't care for.

@razze I disagree because #JavaScript violates basic security standards and should be, like #VBA #macros, #OOXML and #Windows-#Executeables be deemed inacceptable.

If in doubt, test your website with #LynxBrowser 1 2 over Iridium speeds (@ 2400 bit/s) and with #TorBrowser in it's strictest security settings (no #JS allowed!) and then tell me that's accessible, because in many #eReaders and applianced #BrailleScreens and #TTS devices you'll only have the output of #Lynx as #Browser and not everyone has even #2G speeds available.

Otherwise you may fall into the trap of "#EliteProjection" in that you assume that everyone has as good of an access to tech, broadband, #TechLiteracy and means to use them as we have them.

Which is my point of criticism all along!

@kkarhan lynx works fine on my pages. you should be doing server side rendering by now with js and all big projects push for that and make it easy. progressive enhancement might fail, but you still get at least a basic page.

search engines and lighthouse scores will also rank you down, if you don't keep users with low bandwidth in mind. that's not javascript specific, but suggesting, that people using javascript aren't aware just says, to me, that you've never looked at those tools.

@kkarhan you realize you're complaining about accessibility with messages that are hardly coherent to screen readers, right?
