Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

It actually made the website I use for work stop working. I need to learn how to configure it properly. I guess I'll be reading a manual or wiki

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, most websites do not work without JS enabled. The key is you can do it from specific hosts.

What do you mean? A server? Is the extension not meant to be used for personal computers?

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The extension is for desktop browsers, of course. For each page you view, js is disabled by default and listed by the site the page is attempting to load scripts from. You can enable them one by one. Some pages work fine with no js at all. Some require you to enable the main page, some a cdn or two also. You can choose to enable js for a domain just for that visit, or permanently (unless you remove permission later, of course).

For example say you view example.com. If the one doesn’t load at all, enable js for example.com. If it still doesn’t load, enable cdn.example.com. If it loads, great, and perhaps you still didn’t give permission to Facebook, Google, “score card research” or some other bullshit, splendid!

So for your work website, you’d want to permanently enable js for the main domain and whatever it takes to make it function.

Thanks! I thought I had done that by marking the website as 'trusted' but the website kept telling me I needed to enable JS for it to work. I just need to get familiar with the configuration. I saw there's a forum for the extension, so I'll have a look there for documentation

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it must be an associated page on the list. Often scripts are loaded from some domain besides the main one. You can also just enable all JS for the entire page, if it's fully trusted.
