I'm on mobile. It loads quick. I saw no ads. It was reasonable straight to the point: no explanation about this being grandmothers pie recipe or anything to that effect. (In fact, if you consider the point of the website to be funny it is actually straight to the point.) If it is fast, doesn't track me and provides the answers I need I can put up with some animations. I'd say what we have today is far more problemati…

It's full of tracking though.

Ha, did not expect Vue and actual individual components.

Yeah, this joke goes a bit deeper than its veneer let on.

Someone once told me, “you will know what nostalgia truly is, when you see a younger generations nostalgia and think it’s still shit because you are too old for that to have been your childhood”. The jQuery era is something I’d never want to go back to. Not because jQuery was bad, but because the basic DOM api was so poor, JavaScript was much more limited and incoherent, and webpages made anything outside of text inp…

I remember when web pages looked like that. I used the same animations and hosted on Geocities.

It's shit. I got a smirk out of seeing it again, but I just felt embarrassed for 1998 me.

Sound autoplay doesn't really work anymore in modern browsers.

And thank whatever deity you may or may not believe in that this changed. Yes, it sucks for these traditional websites, but advertisers abused it so much it hurt.

Indeed. The end of autoplay being on by default or not being a setting at all is a blessing far more than anyone worth their salt has even thought it could be a curse.

There s nothing "old" about jquery, quite the opposite. the github projects based on jquery actually work, while almost everything made for the "post jquery" world is abandoned, totally not working, or impossible to develop on.

Oh shit, you disabled right click?

And a rather modern approach for doing it:

  
  export default {
    mounted() {
      document.addEventListener("contextmenu", event => {
        event.preventDefault()
        alert("Right click is disabled!!!")
      })
    }
  }

Shouldn't it be possible to still achieve auto-play using JavaScript? It's just a tiny bit more effort. :)
