  • Firefox 147 Will Support The XDG Base Directory Specification

    Jump

  • The implications would be massive and I do not think most power users would benefit from it being broken up like that. Being able to backup or sync your entire Firefox profile by copying one directory is quite useful.

  • It also makes for an easy conversation topic to complain about stuff...

  • Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally?

    Jump

  • Veganism isn't a hivemind. We're all individuals that came to similar conclusions. And we will have different opinions on the details.

    Some folks will say consuming those that died naturally is a-ok. Others will argue that it incentivizes creating conditions under which animals die "naturally" to harvest them.Personally, I'm part of the group that is probably the largest by a long shot, whose opinion is: Why are we even thinking about that?

    The vast majority of vegans find corpses gross, much like anything you might derive from corpses.It also seriously does not happen often, that animals drop dead in front of you. And there's nothing on an animal's body that you can't find a different alternative for. So, it really just is not a relevant question in our lives...

  • Firefox 147 Will Support The XDG Base Directory Specification

    Jump

  • From the bug report:

    [...] will require moving some config & data files from ~/.phoenix to probably $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/phoenix and [...]

    According to Wikipedia, the browser was already renamed to "Firefox" when that bug report was opened, but still wild to see that even back then, they already had some technical debt for the name of that directory.

    Unfortunate that they did not go straight from ~/.phoenix to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mozilla, but hard to say, if that was as obvious of a choice back then...

  • I find it so tricky, too. With the maintainers that I see struggling, it's rarely a lack of contributions that fucks them up, but rather a lack of maintainers. And they can't easily onboard other maintainers, because:

    1. there's hardly anyone willing to invest enough time into your project to be a particularly helpful maintainer.
    2. everyone's just strangers on the internet, who may or may not want to ship malware as part of your project.

    Like, I even have a friend who's excited for a project that I'm building, but so far, they're purely cheerleading (which is appreciated), because they do have projects of their own that they find fun, and in particular also a life outside of programming.I do not currently struggle with maintainership (because I haven't announced my projects anywhere publicly 🤪), but yeah, it just feels like it's asking for a lot, if I were to try to get that friend on board. In particular also, because not many aspects of maintainership are fun.

  • Aside from lying, an old favorite of mine is not telling the truth.

    Another good one is telling the truth, but with a really sarcastic tone, so that people believe I'm lying.

    Just lots of ways to misguide people. 🙃

  • [DS] Could work

  • It's not about being boring. Protestantism came into existence out of protest, because the Catholic church was accepting money to lower the punishment for sins.Without this money, you're less likely to build elaborate cathedrals. But I imagine, it's also a matter of not wanting to indulge in the same gluttony as the Catholic church.

  • Order up

  • Oh man, I thought that was supposed to be Einstein, but then figured the joke is that it's his supposed son, Frank Einstein, which sounds a lot like "Frankenstein". I guess, the joke is a lot simpler than that...

  • Copy RSS Button (Extension)

    Jump

  • I just tried it on Android Firefox, and well, it does work, but you can definitely tell that it wasn't built for Android Firefox.

    It doesn't show up in the URL bar and rather just in the extension menu. In there, it still gets hidden when no RSS feed is available. It copies to the clipboard as expected. And when there's multiple feeds, it opens a separate page to show the dropdown in a very small font. Definitely usable enough, since you're not going to interact with it all the time, but I wouldn't give it the same glowing review...

  • I'm currently prototyping a macro to help reduce boilerplate, as part of a more general library. And I'm doing some wild shit, like defining the fields of a data type from the parameter list of a function.

    But then, yeah, what I'm now stuck on is that my generated code references a data type under one name, but it's actually got a different name in the public API. All the wild shit was smooth sailing, but a technicality now fucks me over. 🫠

  • Isn't that like a central part of the whole Christian thingamabob? I believe, you can interpret the bible to say that humans were created in the likeness of the Christian god and they are supposed to exploit all the other stuff that the god created. So, cats are there to be snacked, not for going to heaven...

  • Sure, but as it happens with multiplayer games, you typically have a friend group that plays a certain game. Getting all of them to switch to another game can definitely be a problem.

  • I enjoy how casually you insulted these animals as "unintelligent" after we've established that humans do the same. I guess, you never said that humans weren't unintelligent, though...
