@kev I'm pretty much in agreeance. The problem is that humans, by and large, are going to abuse the system to their advantage. Taking away tools doesn't really stop them; it just changes the way they do it.https://degruchy.link/1h@uglyduck

@kev @uglyduck Who needs CSS when you can adjust the width yourself! :blobcatderpy:

@kev @uglyduck It almost seems like he's approaching the space of the semantic web by way of a subtractive treatment of the current web. I'm not sure this means graphical design and responsive user experiences need to go--though they certainly get in the way of his goals.

@kev This was a wonderful read and I actually do agree (mostly) with all your counter-points. I tend to get a little carried away with extreme views on simplicity lol(also thank you for the compliments - but you give yourself barely any credit. Your blog is one of my select favourite site designs that I frequent FYI)

@kev @uglyduck I agree CSS is usually more good than bad. IMO JavaScript is usually more bad than good. Letās keep 90% of the CSS, and get rid of 90% of the JavaScript. š

@uglyduck thatās very kind, Bradley, thanks. I was on the fence about publishing this; was concerned it may come across as me bashing you.Decided weād had enough interactions with one another now that you hopefully would know I wasnāt intentionally being a troll. š

@kev @uglyduck I work on some software which has a proud āanti-themeā - https://ikiwiki.info - and it can get tiring after prolonged exposure. Changing my browser defaults (font face and size, link colours) basically fixed that for me
