[05:18]	schestowitz[TR2]	    Microsoft plans to reduce its French workforce by 10 percent, reports Les Echos citing internal sources. This restructuring is part of a new wave of global cuts announced by the IT giant in July, totalling 9,000 layoffs. In France, around 200 jobs are at risk out of the 2,000 employees based primarily at Microsofts office in Issy-les-Moulineaux, southwest of Paris.

[23:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	Sompi: i will be frank with you, i don't know
[23:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	young people seem tooo busy with skinnerboxes
[23:31]	Sompi	schestowitz[TR2]: HTTP is a ridiculously simple protocol and HTML, CSS and JavaScript used to all have established standard until suddenly Google started continuously pushing their own additions to those standards
[23:31]	schestowitz[TR2]	so i seldom talk to any anymore
[23:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	html is not simple
[23:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	too many features in it
[23:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	css also
[23:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	css can be simple
[23:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	you can make is simple
[23:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	then you read obfuscated css of other people
[23:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	with very arcane elements
[23:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	then it's not simple at all
[23:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	things  moving all over the place
[23:32]	Sompi	And now we have HTML5 which isn't even officially an established standard at all - they call it a "living standard" because it's changing all the time
[23:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	and lots of nesting
[23:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	and 10 CSS files
[23:32]	schestowitz[TR2]	interconnected
[23:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	so you don't even know WHICH css file does what effect
[23:33]	Sompi	schestowitz[TR2]: As I wrote, we used to have established standards that were first published and then put into use - and not other way around like now
[23:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	sometimes the css files are called from something.js
[23:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	so good lucking finding out where images come from
[23:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	text (alike DRM in page)
[23:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	and even css
[23:33]	schestowitz[TR2]	it's a mess
[23:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	you chasing files and need to run proprietary code to expand it to css and html/xhtml
[23:34]	Sompi	Yes, and it's by design, because that way they make it harder to download images and other media on the page to your computer
[23:34]	Sompi	And it's because of Google
[23:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	yes
[23:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	it's like DRM
[23:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	cannot copy paste
[23:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	cannot open menuis
[23:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	to protect "content owners"
[23:34]	schestowitz[TR2]	sometimes it take up all your RAM
[23:34]	Sompi	And that's why there was the antitrust case
[23:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	freezing your machine
[23:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	some pages are DoS attacks
[23:35]	Sompi	After HTML 4.01 we haven't had established standards for basic web technologies
[23:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	the standard is, use chrome or firtefox
[23:35]	schestowitz[TR2]	and over time it's more like,
[23:36]	schestowitz[TR2]	use chrome, that'll "solve the issue"
[23:36]	Sompi	HTML 4.01 already has everything, you can do everything with it... and Google saw that as a problem because it makes vendor locking impossible

[23:37]	TR Bot	 Tux Machines Free and Open Source Software, howtos and Installations
[23:37]	Sompi	Now we have a HTML5 "living standard" which isn't really a standard at all, a perpetually expanding JavaScript language that keeps getting more and more features every month, and CSS that is already becoming a turing-complete programming language in itself with all the recent additions
[23:38]	Sompi	But already 25 years ago you could do all that with HTML 4.01 and the JavaScript and CSS versions from that time...
[23:38]	schestowitz[TR2]	yes
[23:38]	schestowitz[TR2]	but
[23:38]	schestowitz[TR2]	to me the key issue is,
[23:38]	Sompi	So there is no extra value in those new stuff
[23:38]	schestowitz[TR2]	not it being amoving target
[23:38]	schestowitz[TR2]	for me and you to understand and keep up with
[23:38]	schestowitz[TR2]	the bigger issue is,
[23:38]	schestowitz[TR2]	making a new browser that is "feature-complete" is imppssoble
[23:38]	Sompi	But the HTTP protocol is just fine, the problem is the payload
[23:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	it's like making another Linux with 50 million LOCs of drivers
[23:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	and keeping those drivers updated
[23:39]	Sompi	And also the new protocols that Google also calls "HTTP" even though they have nothing to do with the real HTTP protocol and aren't compatible
[23:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	for each piece of new hardwar
[23:39]	schestowitz[TR2]	then you have 'hacks'
[23:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	like people putting code in css
[23:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	to make browser-specific fixes
[23:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	like OOXML
[23:40]	Sompi	But that judge was so clearly corrupted that we will probably see continuation to the case very soon
[23:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	or .docx
[23:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	where there are special cases for each version of Microsoft Office
[23:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	so even if you make netsurf implement all the stuff correctly
[23:40]	schestowitz[TR2]	it would still fail where there are chrome-specific hacks or
[23:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	where they sniff user agent
[23:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	or use some weird JS to sniff up or test what browser you REALLY use
[23:41]	Sompi	Also, while HTML 4.x is its own version of HTML, it is very largely backwards compatible with HTML 3.2 - it is easy to write HTML 4.01 sites that degrade gradefully when viewed in a browser that only supports HTML 4.2
[23:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	even if your browser would work FINE
[23:41]	schestowitz[TR2]	if served all the same files
[23:41]	Sompi	s/supports HTML 4.2/supports HTML 3.2/
[23:41]	Sompi	And HTML 3.2 is so ridiculously simple that anyone can easily write a browser for it
[23:42]	schestowitz[TR2]	use geminni
[23:42]	schestowitz[TR2]	lagrange is finnish
[23:42]	Sompi	But HTML5 is clearly designed to not be properly backwards-compatible - and there isn't a relaxed "transitional" version of the standard like there is for HTML 4.x
[23:43]	schestowitz[TR2]	did you try .gmi
[23:43]	schestowitz[TR2]	or gemtext?
