The contrast level they used for the text in the article makes it too difficult to read.
Surely everyone knows about Reader mode by now? More seriously, is something like Firefox's Reader mode available as a plugin to Safari? I can confirm that it is for Chrome.

Safari has it built in.

Possibly, but why do we need the feature when the website could simply use black text on a white background? When websites start doing things like this or not displaying static text when javascript is disabled, then I just skip over it.

You've guessed what we're using the last couple of weeks. So far, I like it! It's come a long way. I've tried it a couple of times, but now even the web client works reasonably well.
And yes, of course - alphapapa software is always the best option!(;
P.S.: Nice nick! After waiting 20 years, I just watched the trilogy (extended version) with my wife last week. It's been a blast and it aged really well.
Re: IRC and Emacs all the things
#16This is brilliant! Not so much for use of emacs or libpurple or bitlebee specifically for that matter (which are all fine)...Rather, what i find to be the coolest is the whole... "I'm gonna use my preferred text editor to interact with the world" approach! Some might say that this reduces outside systems into nothing more than an API-sort of layer, but honestly, I really like that; it helps with learning curves, gene…
You're spot on!
I'm using Emacs for todos, project management, meeting minutes, quotes, invoices, accounting, mails, chat, programming, configuration management, slides, documentation and so much more. As long as the task is primarily based around consuming or producing text, it's incredible how much more performance a solid foundation yields.

#17For a more feature-full emacs IRC experience, I would recommend Circe[0]. It even supports showing images inline like slack. If IRC in emacs is not your cup of tea, I would recommend the web client/web server The Lounge[1], which as far as I'm concerned gives people everything they want out of slack, in IRC, but doesn't lock you down to a proprietary protocol.

Thanks for linking to Circe. I didn't know about that and will happily check it out. thelounge also does look really nice!
Having said that, the IRC client ERC which I'm using works well with regards to inline images. Here's my config for that: https://github.com/munen/emacs.d/#irc
