I think the "it" in his statement is the post itself, not necessarily the page's loading. This is very much my mortal enemy when I'm trying to post something on my iPod with quotes (it's easier to jump back one page than open a new tab). The mobile Safari version sucks with tabs anyway. If it "thinks" you haven't seen the tab in a while (literally, sometimes after clicking no more than two links in another tab) it will reload the entire page, erasing all form data. I have to be very sure to copy long posts in case I need to paste them so I can resume. 12-10-2013, 01:13 PM
We ARE still a bunch of impatient, jumpy fuckers compared to him, with our goddamn high-speed internet. Dial-up is probably the best attention-span improvement method in existence for today's internet population.

Nah, I bet Twitter (the Anti-Christ of long attention spans) still loads up just fine on 56K. If dialup cultivates any virtue, it's that it keeps your mind from "impure thoughts", unless you download all of your porn as ASCII art... 12-10-2013, 01:56 PM

It's better to try looking on paste-bin like sites. Better, but not much. Not that I would know.
Hey, good ASCII porn is hard to find. People just aren't making it; it's too niche. I mean, anything below furry foot fetishes is going to be hard to get "good stuff". 12-10-2013, 05:01 PM
Shonumi Wrote:Nah, I bet Twitter (the Anti-Christ of long attention spans) still loads up just fine on 56K. Yes and no. Anything that loads a continuous stream without end is horrible on dialup. Twitter, Facebook, Google Images (the new one), etc etc. They try to load new stuff before the old stuff finishes loading and the browser panics and things time out and, well, it's not pretty. Reading Twitter or Facebook requires multiple reloads and lots of "open image in new tab". Fortunately I hate both.

You do know most browsers let you stop all loading at any given moment? Once you see the tweet(s) you're looking for, just stop it. I know what you're talking about (the continuous loading of content); it's a by-product of all that Web 2.0 crap way back when, what with all of those XMLHttpRequest() requests. An easy catch-all solution would be to just disable Javascript, but unfortunately that breaks a lot of sites. It's a crying shame as a former web designer to see sites (Twitter is one) lose complete functionality without Javascript (I mean seriously? How much scripting do you need to pull 160 bytes from a database and show it to me?). Unless your website needs to be really dynamic (you know, stock market stuff, web apps), it's not that hard to fall back on regular PHP, SQL, and HTML. Too many bells and whistles makes for a lot of noise.
The worst are sites like ZDNet, CNet (and formerly Ars Technica) that think it's cute to use a little button that pulls more articles dynamically into an existing page instead of using regular pagination. For one, unless you open a page in a new tab, you lose your place (you have to click that little button all over again, and load, load, load again). It's also a horrible way to archive articles, especially if you want to see what a site was writing about at a given time and you have no specific terms to search for. But thanks, you got me ranting on how idiotic modern web design has become. Web design has always been idiotic (*cough*Space Jam website*cough*), but it's moved on to being just as ridiculous in other ways. Shonumi Wrote:You do know most browsers let you stop all loading at any given moment? Once you see the tweet(s) you're looking for, just stop it. That's every day for me. Unfortunately sites don't load things sequentially. They load randomly all over the place, with images timing out while the next block of facebook posts or whatever is trying to load with more images and content. UUGGGHHH. Hence why I use "Open image in new tab" aaaallll the time. It caches images that are sucking down bandwidth to allow for more content to load. I can usually get by on twitter or facebook if I fight with it, but some places *cough gawker sites cough* are so much work it's not even worth it.

It's like if someone else is doing it, they all want to do it, whether it makes sense or not. God I hate those people.
