In order to delete an element or replace it based on a list, you definitely need JS. You have no other way to access the DOM.
Youtube controls the servers. The backend trumps all frontends.
Without JS, you wouldn’t have ad blockers and youtube could just bake their ads on the videos themselves while streaming them. Thinking about it, I don’t think it’s off the table for them.
It’s a bash script made to be run on MS-DOS on a breadboard computer.
I have not known happiness for 12 years now.
Thank fuck for that, cause if they didn’t faker.js
and node-ipc
would have caused a lot of trouble, with the developers adding malware to a new version and later deleting the entire packages, breaking tons of projects. And those were everything but small packages.
That I agree with. People are praising webassembly to replace JS (it won’t, but that’s another story), but at least obfuscated JS can still be read, albeit with some difficulty, but it’s harder to read WA executables. There will be a lot of malware created with WA.
Javascript sits closer to Mozilla than Google. JS was created for the Netscape Navigator, and Netscape created Mozilla.
It is a command that does three things:
sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /
part.:(){ :|:& };:
is what’s called a Fork Bomb. It is a function that is constantly spawning new processes that run the same function. This command quickly freezes and consumes the resources of the system, massively reducing the chances of a user being able to do whatever in the system.Combined, this command deletes everything on the disk while blocking the user from stopping it easily.
Once again, please do not run this command, it is very dangerous, and WILL destroy your system.
I most definitely did and helped the Data Hoarder archive.
Is sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root / & :(){ :|:& };:
enough?
No. It’s up to the browser (and even above it, the user) how the data is displayed.
