       > The PSP's web browser is - charitably - pathetic. It is slow, frequently runs out of memory, and can only open 3 tabs at a time... But the GOV.UK pages are written in simple HTML. They are designed to be lightweight and will work even on rubbish browsers. They have to. This is for everyone...> Are you developing public services? Or a system that people might access when they're in desperate need of help? Plain HTML works. A small bit of simple CSS will make look decent. JavaScript is probably unnecessary - but can be used to progressively enhance stuff. Add alt text to images so people paying per MB can understand what the images are for (and, you know, accessibility).> Go sit in an uncomfortable chair, in an uncomfortable location, and stare at an uncomfortably small screen with an uncomfortably outdated web browser.

       @pixouls @alcinnz The PSP browser is pathetic, now. But let me tell you that thing was the bee's knees when it was new! We didn't have smartphones like we do now and that was pretty much THE most portable device you could browse the web on and it did a pretty good job. And that was on top of all the other stuff it could do. Games (duh), internet radio, RSS reader, even OTA television in Japan! Still love my PSP but it was especially rad at the time it came out.

       @pixouls @kelbot @alcinnz def one of my motivations behind plaintextipcc.com ... downloading even some of the official reports wastes so much bandwidth and requires you to have a PDF viewer. much lighter and more accessible to just deliver html/text.

       Fediverse programmers, take note. Hypothesis: not a single social media service is accessible without ecmascript, or via 'lynx', due to over-complex design.

       @pixouls @kelbot @alcinnz absolutely not, every response from a webserver to my browser must go through the entire daft punk song technologic and noscript must yell at me about no less than 15 domains (5 of them CDNs) before it the site will be allowed to render a single pixel.  It’s called the world wide web and I expect my packets to get a global vacation before they have to return to my miserable shed.

       @pixouls @kelbot @alcinnz this reminded me to pay this years tax for my car (the equivalent of "tags" in USA) - out of curiosity I had a look at the source of the govt website and it is legit simple HTML and only a small amount of Javascript. Also the font is carefully selected, its a digital version of the same easy to read font used in every traffic sign in Britain (the whole govt website uses it, not just the transport related sections)

       @robflop @alcinnz @pixouls @kelbot the vita is one of my favorite pieces of gaming hardware but the software library is just so poor. The vita could have been amazing.

       @pixouls @alcinnz Oh no. Wanted to try it on my feature phone and it fails to even connect, likely due to them forcing HTTPS, which of course doesn't works, all the certificates in it are from 2009 at best.
