Yes. I wouldn't mind a bit if no-nonsense design
became fashionable. But no-nonsense design doesn't
have to be bad design, or lack of it. Actually, I see
very little in terms of design these days. It's more
like a sales flyer meets Miracle Mile: Lots of white
space, imprudent font properties, pages that break
without script, and *lots* of flashing lights and
jumping around if script is enabled.
I've even had to block a lot of CSS just to stop
pointless movement while I'm trying to read. I've
got all this in my userContent.css file for Firefox
and Pale Moon:
/* stop CSS animation */
* {transform: none !important;
-moz-transform: none !important;
transition-property: none !important;
-moz-transition-property: none !important;
-moz-transition-duration: none !important;
animation: none !important;
-moz-animation: none !important;
-webkit-animation: none !important;}
:before {display: none !important;}
:after {display: none !important;}
The top section was mostly to stop forced
slideshows. The latter two lines are to stop
clever inventions like jiggling, chartreuse ooze
wrapping text characters.
But with their text-only page NPR have gone out
of their way to make it unattractive. There's no CSS
at all, link lines are jammed up next to each other
vertically, and unlike the normal page, there's no
blurb describing each link. None of that needs to be
left out for a text-only version. A 1 KB page can afford
to be 2 KB. If someone on a slow connection can load
a 100 KB article they can certainly handle 1 KB of
formatting and descriptions on the homepage. It's just
spiteful on the part of NPR. And probably deliberately
misleading -- hoping that people will be fooled into
believing that what they're presenting is the inevitable
result of eliminating "modern technologies" like script,
cookies and spying.
