It’s just firefox. If you encounter websites that break or look bad on firefox, theyll be just as broken on librewolf. There are many web standards firefox is behind on.

That said, vivaldi is the best chromium choice and Librewolf is the best FF choice. I use librewolf when adblocking is paramount, like on YT

I have a small site that mirrors hacker news but with dark mode and stuff, and it is getting blasted by bot traffic. All the data is freely available from the official api but they’re scraping my piddling site which runs on an anemic VPS because it looks like user generated content. Bot protection does little to help from my provider. Gonna have to rethink my whole architecture now. Very annoying

thanks! didn’t know about that

Why?

while this is obviously great news, HIV hasn’t been a death sentence in over a decade

I mean “didn’t care enough” == pay an entire separate dev team to develop for potentially each OS (at least windows probably) in languages unfamiliar to the web team. Then separately maintain that desktop app in perpetuity while the backend changes and drifts. This all for a vanishingly small subset of the userbase that could have used the website with identical functionality. It’s a similar issue with mobile apps.

I fully see the appeal of electron apps even if it’s not perfectly native feeling. I mean vscode is pretty universally liked n that’s electron. Also, it being a web app is a huge boon for anyone needing a code editor in browser.

Perhaps frameworks like Tauri will supplant electron soon enough for better performance and native feel.

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

Why not having them locked up and prosecuted? All those rabid MAGAs calling for death and destruction are deranged, I think we agree. Who gets to decide when it’s appropriate to assassinate politicians in our democracy?

they’re saying “email” is the plural of “email,” and saying “emails” is like saying “datas” as the plural of “data,” which is weird since “emails” is definitely valid.

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

Hold down j and lmk how smooth it is 😅

I mean, it should be clear. Smooth and fast and snappy. If you don’t want that, use neovim like me :)

I use zsh and love the fish autocomplete so I use this:

https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions

Also have fzf for ctrl + r to fuzzy find previous commands.

I believe it comes with oh-my-zsh, just has to be enabled in plugins and itjustworks™

It inspired python’s syntax iirc
