They get the HTML same as anyone else.
If your HTML is well structured they get a very usable web site.

Because, with a pure CSS site, you wont even know they have been there.

Make your page in pure HTML first. THEN add CSS. Then you know it looks fine
(or at least readable, if not pretty) either way.

Suicide is always an option, but if you're not trolling then the
answer is "do nothing". You should already have viewed your site in
a text-only browser like lynx and verified that it is still
readable and the navigation still works.

I don't know beans about Ruby or have any preconceived ideas about it. I have noticed, however, that every programmer I talk to who's aware of Python is also talking about Ruby. So it seems that Ruby has the potential to compete with and displace Python. I'm curious on what basis it...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
