ahh feels like home

He goes into their tech and how they do JS splitting and stuff. Looks old, but they’re using modern techniques afaik

Lemmy is already fairly left. ML is tankie from what I understand, so that would not be further left but upward, right? I hope you didn’t get the impression I’m a fan of prison slave labor and western imperialism. Many things can be and are bad at once

I mean really you’re bending upward to authoritarian on the compass

Weird the example he gave isn’t imperative, which I think would be “Fix a null pointer dereference in …”

Confidential Dolby code was pushed, though just some headers files.

Big unicode doesn’t want you to know this one simple trick

I linked an article with commentary, yes. When I read the original comment myself I was very put off by the tone/apparent attitude toward the subject. I still think it was an innocuous change they could have merged – I would’ve. I think the author of Ladybird is probably not a misogynist, but to be so blunt and dismissive on that PR was a questionable look IMO.

He’s probably a nice guy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The founder of Ladybird said some questionable stuff that he walked back. You be the judge: https://text.tchncs.de/latenightblog/ladybird-browser-and-drama

It also has optional ads to pay you in crypto. I view 99% of crypto as a scam btw

All true! I suppose I replied to a comment saying sites were nonfunctional, but that’s more extreme than what I mean. The only nonfunctional sites Ive read about are from hackernews threads talking about WebGPU.

Frankly, if something doesn’t work in Firefox, thats like <5% market share. Probably lower for a lot of segments. I am familiar with webdev :) Let’s not pretend most devs are checking caniuse for everything. Some sites leverage bleeding edge stuff that necessarily requires chrome, which is also fine. IRL people don’t optimize for Firefox and that’s usually okay, but sometimes there are quirks. That’s all I’m saying

That’s one way to look at it. If a website works perfectly on chromium, but not firefox, why is this the website’s fault?

I remember trying to style a range input slider a few years ago and it worked everywhere except firefox. I also had problems with the style of the <select> recently (inverted colors, wrong font). Not a big deal, I still drive firefox daily, but there are idiosyncrasies

This is more common than you think. It’s usually not broken entirely, but firefox constantly breaks styling/css stuff on websites I use and build. I’ve had a few sites ask me to switch browsers because firefox doesn’t support x y or z feature too

edit: for example, WebGPU support is currently lacking in FF https://github.com/gpuweb/gpuweb/wiki/Implementation-Status

I use firefox, but I’m not blind to its few problems

Just chiming in to say your english is great! Ty for the writeup

It inspired python’s syntax iirc

Weird, I’m like 99% sure epub is supported considering it’s all I download on my stock PW.

Instances could probably find ways to be ad supported or creators could do 3p sponsorships or ads in videos. Not everyone has to chip in to everything they subscribe to. It’s still impossibly hard compared to youtube though.

e: what about opt-in ads (banner or otherwise) for channels you want to support? could be cool

Shitty but hardly surprising. Twitter has a global reach, a decade+ of experience and momentum and critical mass etc. A twitter exodus isn't going to happen over night.
