Because mother fucker JS sucks and it’s a huge security problem. Fuck JavaScript. You don’t need a Turing complete, garbage heap language to watch fucking YouTube. You don’t need i…

It’s not a problem of content creators. Assuming people are using ff/chrome, html mode only supports basic functions. If you had a new protocol/browser then you could have lots of …

I don’t understand how nobody else sees this. We need a new app layer protocol that has common features of the web baked in. Distributing apps over JS is insanity and it needs to s…

All of this nonsense and chaos for what? So that people have a slightly easier time remembering the address of a website? DNS is a stupid and naive concept that was born in a time …

I would disagree. 4chan was the nucleation point from which our modern lives sprung. It was the start of a very fundamental shift in the way people live. 4chan was the place where …

I find it to be very similar to match point, and just as good. It’s a funny coincidence that both directors are who they are isn’t it?

It’s very interesting that the founder of 4chan ended up being super liberal leaning. I remember when I first visited 4chan sometime in 2006. It was totally unlike anything I had s…

Have you seen the ghost writer?
