> even if we scope to just text and no images, we already broken on this idea once we move beyond non-latin scripts and unicode.
Just so we're clear about what my claims are: you don't need javascript for a simple text article with a few images. The submitted article is a simple text article, with a few images. Javascript is used only to make the experience worse.
You're wrong about images and about unicode - neither of those need javascript. I don't know why you mention vt100 terminals (why so redundant?) - that's not a point I'm making.
But since you brought it up a web dev has to be some kind of clueless cunt if they can't display a bit of text with image placeholders on a text mode display.
