Comment on The sheer amount of websites that are completely unusable without JavaScript
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 week agoeven in the PHP era disabling jQuery could cause problems.
WTF. Do you think jQuery is what JavaScript used to be called or something? Pretty much everything you wrote is insane, and I specifically think that because I’ve been building webpages for 25 years. You sure never heard of progressive enhancement.

It seems you misunderstood me.
There were horrible tricks and hacks that were addig not only ux improvements but useful content. We used jquery for many of those things. That’s why I wrote it, and for the legacy vibe.
Disabling js would have broken that site as well, reinforcing my point that it was never a reliable solution to disable js.
