Re:Tell HN: GitHub no longer readable without JavaScript

I have js disabled by default on my phone for these reasons.
It also eliminates most the incredibly annoying bits of the web: cookie banners, modal dialogs asking me to subscribe to newsletters, auto play videos.
On my phone 90% of the time I'm looking to read your content not interact with your spa. Enabling js is a 2 touch process if I need it.
I think it is fairly stupid on my part but it does add another layer of effort between me and doom scrolling
