i gonna tell you what i really think i like about mondays!

aw. i was gonna link to a #hooktube fetch of NOFX's "thank god it's monday" but...

goodbye hooktube, i loved you!

#freesoftware #librejs #deletegoogle

mildly embarrassingly, this website wrote "wrong" instead of "awesome" #librejs

surprisingly, djmaxrespect.com/ is pretty close to being 100% #LibreJS complaint!

I made my homepage #librejs compliant, also to get some firsthand experience. While it was quite easy for my small homepage I'm still not sure if it works for large websites. #JavaScript #FreeSoftware

@deejoe @adfeno @strypey See https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Talk:Riot.im , https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Talk:Chromium and also the description and goal of #LibreJS: https://www.gnu.org/software/librejs/ .

@lxoliva @dausacker Espero que estes cidadãos recebam documentos informando as implicações do #JavaScript não livre. #SoftwareLivre #FreeSoftware #SoftwareLibre #FreeJS #LibreJS #PublicCode

@Shamar @how I think that it would get better if we free our #JavaScript according to #LibreJS and use #ProgressiveEnhancement, so most stuff can be done without #JS, even forms, no need for #CAPTCHA. See https://mikegerwitz.com/2017/06/Don-t-force-me-to-use-your-tools-on-the-Web (by @mikegerwitz ) and also combine http://ezinearticles.com/?Captchas-Considered-Harmful---Why-Captchas-Are-Bad-And-How-You-Can-Do-Better&id=1104207 with server-side scripting and #CSS.

@matthew_d_green This abuse was done thanks to client-side browser auto-execution of some programs (mostly in #JavaScript) which aren't #FreeSoftware, or not clearly marked as such for the website's user. Either #FreeJS so as to respect #LibreJS markup, or #KillJS ... But make sure to kill any client-side browser language that doesn't expect implementations to behave the same as #LibreJS.

@strypey i also like the approach used by #Kallithea, also because it aims from the very start to be #LibreJS compliant, or clearly indicated #FreeJS with license notices and complete corresponding source files of the #JavaScript.

@skynebula @adfeno @GeoffreyDorne I don't think that's a good idea since web based stuff sometimes are made to work only with non-free #JavaScript (or the not-correctly-marked as free/libre per #LibreJS tests), combine this with auto execution and #Spectre and #Meltdown and you have the perfect "take this stuff and run it without questioning/changing otherwise you cannot easily use our services" scenario. APIs won't make it different since the owner can change it.

@lohang @pixelfed @dansup I hope that it doesn't use their non-free #JavaScript. #FreeJS #LibreJS

@pallgone any kind of these things that require #JavaScript not correctly marked as #FreeSoftware according to #LibreJS are bad. A better approach is #ProgressiveEnhancement (see https://mikegerwitz.com/2017/06/Don-t-force-me-to-use-your-tools-on-the-Web ) with http://ezinearticles.com/?Captchas-Considered-Harmful---Why-Captchas-Are-Bad-And-How-You-Can-Do-Better&id=1104207 . But it's best to avoid automatic execution of code on client-side (such as what JS is: https://mikegerwitz.com/2018/01/Meltdown-Spectre-and-the-Web ) due to #Spectre / #Meltdown. #KillJS

@teslas_moustache @adfeno I agree with you that web pages are way more convenient, and I do prefer them, although preferably with entirely no #JavaScript or with #LibreJS compliant #FreeJS (like what #Kallithea is doing). But there are times in which people don't want to have an account in the same service provider of the original, thus federated communication like #EMail is a good one.

@lohang It seems people use a kludge involving #HTML and some auto-executable non-free client-side #JavaScript to validate #email instead of real sending test as recommended in https://video.fosdem.org/2018/K.1.105/email_address_quiz.webm (shareable under CC BY 2.0 BE according to https://archive.fosdem.org/2018/schedule/event/email_address_quiz/ ). #FreeJS #LibreJS #KillJS

@erincandescent it reminds me of people wanting to make a kludge such that a medical camera transmitting over #RTSP has its images appearing in a #web page which has #HTML, #CSS and some freedom-denying #JavaScript, clearly a media player is better for the task. #FreeJS #LibreJS #FreeSoftware #KillJS
