☟︎ mircea_popescu: part of the problem being that common browser instructed to "Save page" will proceed to save the html rather than the dom, or however you call the ast in www.
mircea_popescu: i suppose in principle could exist as an "proper archival browser extension". i suppose very close to what ppl like browsershots etc do
mircea_popescu: Framedragger would be nice, but conceivably you'd be stuck bolting js to links or such
mircea_popescu: else any random rustard can throw a wrench in your whole thing. "gotta support fdlkgjkldfjl!!~11"
mircea_popescu: yeah. it sounds like the right thing but in the process of so sounding hides under a welded shut hood all the design trade-offs which'll need to be made.
mircea_popescu: i suppose this is part of the problem of "wtf were the design goals again ?" -- swiss knife syndrome, many things for many people at many different times.
mircea_popescu: but the majority of those webpages were republican rather than imperial.
mircea_popescu: at least to my eyes, archiving to date was there to provide a sort of cheaper and lighter deedbotting for webpages.

mircea_popescu: well i didn't want to archive "artists" flash bs in 2007 either
mircea_popescu: doppler flash is stiull live and well in the "browsere games" niche. heck, adobe recently made new linux flash (after years of stfu)
mircea_popescu: im not even sure wtf the design goals would be, which is why we're wallowing
mircea_popescu: half literate fucktards, all typefaces are new to them all the time.
mircea_popescu: "why THE FUCK do you want to mess with the fonts" "because we truly have nothing to do with our time" "Do you understand reading speed decreases 3x if the reader has to deal with unfamiliar typefaces ?" "uuga booga"
mircea_popescu: (this happens a lot more than anyone sane would on his own power imagine)
mircea_popescu: it's the way of the future ; everything is connected etc.
mircea_popescu: phf provided eg "java runtime fonts" aren't there on top of x11-fonts etc
mircea_popescu: sorry i can't hear you over the sound of hillary clinton's pantsuit.
mircea_popescu: doppler but you know, when people get self-determination and the right to make their own decisions, everything improves.
mircea_popescu: i suspect alf is blessfully unaware of what utter shitshow fonts / glyphs are irl. and bid him keep his innocence
mircea_popescu: i even linked some lulz re idiot font loading in wwwturds.
mircea_popescu: phf> state of the art for blind folx is misserable. << about same as in 1997.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i didn't mean problem as in "bad thing to fix" i meant problem as in "legitimate topic"
mircea_popescu: it's (unsurprisingly) a male trait, and a young'un trait, which explains other things too
mircea_popescu: amply documented (though mostly in early 1900s work, so i guess from a certain perspective lost by now)
mircea_popescu: this is a fundamental problem in humans, that they'll take overdangerous work.
