I am going to reply only once because this is not a discussion that needs yet more rehashing in this thread of all places.
Also, I'm quite sure the others are exhausted with this by now, as I know I am.
No, all jokes aside.. I never said I want to punch him or do anything
we don't need javascript.. Wish the person or persons who created it were right here, because I would smash their brains in.
The first step to humility is in taking personal responsibility for your own actions, whether it's desired or not. I've learned for myself that most people one could ever associate themselves with will tend to appreciate this greatly.
I also was donating to him as well..
In Mr. Kaiser's words ...
"If you aren't paying for the software, then please don't be a jerk. There is a human at the other end of those complaints and unless you have a support contract, that person owes you exactly nothing."
(For clarification, donating to the project is not the same as purchasing the software and does not carry the same symbiotic qualities. Providing donations are a one-way street and do not come attached with any licenses, contracts, or guarantees whatsoever, whereas purchasing something in specific does.)
I would like to see the rest of the world return to a normal standard where the internet can be accessed with any browser and it doesn't matter how old.
The Internet
can be accessed with any browser, no matter how old.
What you seem to want is to access
www.Amazon.com,
www.YouTube.com, and
www.Weather.com (or wherever else you go) on browsers these websites have long since moved on from of their own volition. As previously outlined, you cannot change how they offer their site to the public, as that's simply not how the world works.
However, absolutely nothing is stopping you from creating your own site that is perfectly attuned for old browsers and the machines they run on, like
www.Cornica.org,
www.MacintoshGarden.org, and
www.TheOldNet.com are doing today. As a result, these great websites are not only establishing places for these old browsers / computers to go online to, but they are also doing it in such a fashion that is far more faithful to what most of the Web was actually like to visit back when these old browsers / computers were new, and in the process, making the experience feel much more authentic as a result.
when you come home from 11 hours at work and want to read the news and you see your favorite processor, browser, etc not being worked on anymore, wouldn't you get angry ?
Although I can see where you're coming from, I'm going to have to be honest with you and tell you no, because it was for a long time an inevitable event, and we knew it. Hence why I prefaced my original post with
"we knew this day would come". Everyone did.
Again, in the words of Mr. Kaiser himself ...
"If you aren't paying for the software, then please don't be a jerk. There is a human at the other end of those complaints and unless you have a support contract, that person owes you exactly nothing."
And personally, I would regard what I've previously spent my day on as irrelevant when regarding news of a completely different topic. Plus, when I realized that the outcome of getting angry was 9 out of 10 times more trouble than it was worth (to use a relevant example, I had plenty of experience with this back when I still relied on El Capitan for day-to-day), I learned that getting angry was more or less just a waste of time and did what I could to not only lessen the chances of getting angry in the first place (switching to Linux), but care less altogether (stop reading / watching videos about macOS).
So with that said, here is my advice to you:
Stop being this self-appointed "authoritarian leader". And stop ruling with an "iron fist". Life isn't worth living this way, especially after you consider that you're the one who has to live with yourself the most, bar none.
So, is that really how you choose to live?
We only get to once.

Also, in regards to
post #20, pursue a refund for your newly-purchased speaker donor TiBook if you're having buyer's remorse. eBay (assuming that's what you used) has a money back guarantee and will almost always side with the buyer if they raise a request, speaking from experience as both a buyer and seller
with seasonings.
tell me what we should do 1st for implementing a new internet standard for vintage machines ?
Well, I'm not the one who raised that idea. But as other people have said before me, I think keeping JavaScript use to a minimum and writing clean and efficient code are good starts, to be sure.
We also can start with creating our own PowerPC forum because obviously, Mac Rumors uses and loves javascript. Javascript is a bad idea to begin with.
Yes.
Alternatively, you could also just support the ones that already exist, which makes life easier for everyone.
There is always
Macintosh Garden, which uses significantly less JavaScript than MacRumors does. And if I'm not mistaken, their
new website version still in development does not use any at all. In addition, there is also
Mac OS 9 Lives!, which makes for two social media places suitable for PowerPC Macs.
And even so, there may be more yet.
Anyway ... I hope you learned something. Truly.
