pour le jeu d'échecs #lichess, j'ai écris une application web qui permet de visualiser une équipe (membres et classements) avec intégration slack. le code est disponible ici : https://gitlab.com/valvin/lichess-info
rien de foufou mais peut-être que ça en interessera d'autres 😀

#Anxiety kicking in:

The #web is dead, websites don't exist anymore, all there is are toxic content platforms and unreadable, often harmful malware noise (i.e. lacking information) masked as "websites".

What's worse, a good web browser doesn't exist, plus browsers cannot be installed or compiled on my OS due to #bloat. For the "web" without #javascript there are still usable browsers such as Netsurf or Lynx.

So, I'm thinking a radical step needs to be made:

I need to leave the JavaScript web. Sadly, this is not so easy to do, because:

• I love the diaspora community, it's my only place to communicate with like-minded individuals, without censorship. But it requires JS. What to do? I'm thinking about moving to #GNUSocial again.
• As much as I hate to admit it, I kind of need #YouTube, e.g. for learning #spanish from videos and watching genuinely interesting and enriching videos. #Freetube isn't an option, it doesn't work on my OS due to #bloat. I'm thinking about creating a set of scripts that would utilize #RSS, yt-download and maybe even SponsorBlock database and #ffmpeg to download me latest videos from the channels I want to follow.
• The open console communities which use JS-based "websites". Without JS they become read-only. I could live with that probably.
• Here and there JS is useful and actually needed, e.g. I want to play online #chess with #lichess. Also I sometimes need to do banking and similar stuff. Here I think I should just address each of these specifically, replace everything I can with offline programs (e.g. play against stockfish offline) and just fall back to a web browser if I really need to (banking etc.).
• Simple browsers lack support for addons such as ad blockers. But there are way around, e.g. via /etc/hosts.

If I could manage to do these, I would just switch to a nice no-JS browser with #wiby as a search engine while still having a fallback JS browser installed. It seems like a lot of work, but let's see.
