@fury999io That sounds interesting! But how would the extension know which links require JavaScript, and to what extent, without accessing and evaluating all of them?

IRC quote of the day:

<user1> It's possible to use internet without #javascript nowadays?

<user2> Maybe. Only for some websites, and only on the third Thursday of the month in a leap year when Mercury is in retrograde, and you've just managed to both see a double rainbow and find left-handed scissors, but even then only for 5 minutes.

Have you ever edited a photo without handing over your software freedom? You will. And the power that will bring it to you: free software. https://www.fsf.org/about #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom @fsf @rms

Proprietary software gives you updates you didn't ask for, and anti-features you don't want, all while taking away your freedom to be in control of that. It's like getting digital handcuffs for Christmas, but they also steal your data. Switch to free software and get exactly what YOU want. https://www.fsf.org/about #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom @fsf @rms

Have you ever controlled the software you use, down to the very last line of code? Changed and shared it without restriction? You will. And the movement that will bring it to you: Free Software. https://www.fsf.org/about #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom @fsf @rms

Unleash your inner hacker hero! With free software, YOU have the power. Proprietary software? That's the kryptonite. Keep your systems strong and resilient with free software. #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom @fsf @rms

As our world increasingly digitizes, software is everywhere. This poses a critical question: Who controls that software? I believe it's an ethical imperative that we, the users, should have that control. If someone else has control over the software, they effectively have control over us. Let's champion #FreeSoftware for individual and collective control. #SoftwareFreedom #FSF @fsf @rms

Who does your computer work for: You, or someone else? Those using proprietary software might think it works for them, but try doing something the developers don't want and see how quickly that illusion of control disappears. Only free software truly puts you in control. https://www.fsf.org/about #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom @fsf @rms

Have you ever truly controlled your own computing, rather than being controlled by it? You will. And the movement that will bring it to you: Free Software. https://www.fsf.org/about #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom @fsf @rms

Have you ever changed a program to work the way you wanted it to? Then shared your changes with the world? You will. And the movement that will make it possible: Free Software. https://www.fsf.org/about #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom @fsf @rms

@fu There are WiFi options available that don't need proprietary junk. Look into those that are supported by the ath5k, ath9k, and aht9k_usb kernel modules.

@superdupont @fsf @meatlotion @anonicus @rms So, the next time your friends say they want something that "works," maybe start the #FreeSoftware conversation by asking "Works for who? You, or the company that made it?" Because the software is always working for *someone*. #StayInControl #SoftwareFreedom

@superdupont @fsf @meatlotion @anonicus @rms I hear you! You've got friends who want things to "just work" but do you want software that works for you, or software that works for the company that made it? Imagine you need to defrost a soufflé, but the "smart" microwave refuses. Or a new car that only drives on approved roads; not any road you want. Freedom isn't a luxury; it's about ensuring your devices do what you want, not what someone else wants. #StayInControl #SoftwareFreedom #FreeSoftware

Ah, @meatlotion, the voice of reason! Disconnecting that WiFi-enabled microwave might keep Big Tech from knowing how often you nuke your leftover lasagna, but it doesn’t solve everything. Without #FreeSoftware, you're still not in control of the software in it. You’re stuck with those pesky proprietary apps and can't tweak a thing. It's not just about stopping data siphons; it’s about control - The software should obey you, not someone else! #StayInControl #SoftwareFreedom @fsf @anonicus @rms

The Free Software Foundation: Bravely advocating for our freedoms to keep us out of the clutches of subjugation. Kudos to you, @fsf, for standing up for our rights. https://www.fsf.org/about #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom #FSF @rms

@anonicus @fsf Picture this: your "smart" microwave connects to WiFi, downloads cooking apps, and suggests recipes for that leftover food. You want to change things but whoops - you can't: It only takes instructions from its maker. That is why #FreeSoftware is so important. It's not just making sure your gadgets work—it's making sure they work for *you*. So whether you're reheating leftovers or preparing a Michelin-star meal, remember: your software should serve you, not the other way around.

Have you ever controlled your own digital life? Been in charge of the code that shapes your world? Modified it to do what you want, rather than what someone else wants? You will. And the philosophy that will bring it to you: Free Software. https://www.fsf.org/about #FreeSoftware #SoftwareFreedom @fsf

Hey #Mastodon! In today's world, software seems to be in EVERYTHING. Your phone, your fridge, even that high-tech "smart" fork you got for Christmas. But here's the real fork in the road: Who controls that software? Big Tech, Big Gov, or Big Brother? Spoiler alert: it's probably not you. #StayInControl with #FreeSoftware https://www.fsf.org/about #SoftwareFreedom @fsf
