That's sort of the opposite of treating the hardware with care. It's all done with no allowances for varying hardware at all. This is like pining for a 70s text editor, while refusing to admit the world has moved beyond 7bit ASCII, and that stuff like unicode support isn't "optional".

People can use whatever tools they want; but all my code, blog posts and personal notes would work with 7-bit ASCII and a 70s text editor.

The editors I use support unicode and use UTF-8, but if they didn't I'd hardly notice.

After some editing, aye. But you use emojis on your website and you can't even type your first name with 7-bit ASCII. Ö isn't ASCII.

Ah yeah fuck everyone that doesn't use the Latin ascii character set amirite!!!

[gkbrk]

Great leap of logic.

1. Write a piece of content in ASCII.

2. ???

3. Fuck everyone that doesn't use the Latin ASCII character set.

Not sure what you put in number two in your mind, but I'd be interested to see it.

It'd all blow up the moment you tried to use someone else's code though
