I would almost prefer it. Javascript is the herpes of html, and the majority of websites now are just completely infested with it. I don’t know if these companies are actually visiting their own sites, but it’s horrible. Ton’s of wasted data and time on this garbage. I have been going in and turning off javascript just to keep all of the shit from popping up, covering the screen, etc. So yeah, a command line browser sounds pretty fucking good again.
You should. My best friend hates adding water to his keurig machine. So he designed a float and such, mailed me the tank lid and components with a diagram of how they should fit. I designed and built the rack that fits on the lid and mailed it all back to him. Works like a charm.
The problem is, sometimes while you might be open to using certain software, the people you need to work with and collaborate make that hard. For instance, Early 2000’s, I was tasked with making some weekly magazines. I used Scribus. The people at the printer, of which I had no control over unless I wanted to foot the bill, made life pretty damn miserable because I wasn’t using whatever adobe product they were used to. Things worked, but it was a time that I would much rather leave in the past as I can’t describe the frustration caused.
They seem to be getting a pass on using copyrighted materials to feed these programs so I am doubting that we would get legislation protecting our own likenesses, or those of our loved ones. I bet you couldn’t even get lawmakers to understand what they would need to write into law. They (american lawmakers) all seem to be so up to speed on technology. /s
