Yikes example.com has changed to run JavaScript

I used to trust that example.com was safe inert noscript so I am a bit shocked at this change not being pure CSS

see example.com/s.js

Sorry, please note that HN does not allow me to link to example.com for your click convenience, Dang it!

The website still loads and renders text without js enabled. The JavaScript only appears to cycle the text through multiple translations. I suppose you could do most of this with pure CSS, but what’s the point?

I think if you want to depend on a “safe inert noscript” website for your purposes, you should put up a webpage for it yourself and use that.

Next thing you know they put up an image on example.com. An image. On example dot com!
