@mangeurdenuage Why would images require JS? The fuck is wrong with "modern" web "devs"?

Sure, images can be and are often used in useless ways, such stupid non-sense, ginournous illustrations from image stocks, linking to other articles in the middle of whatever users are actually trying to read…

But sometimes the actual information users are looking for IS an image (schematics, photographs…)

The problem is not browsing with images on, the problem is stupid web devs/corpos…

I had a corporate website that required us to use IE6 and ActiveX support on that website. I looked up what it was actually using ActiveX for that made me unable to use a decent browser.

They used ActiveX to load DirectX, and DirectX to grayscale the login button.
