  • Firefox is fine. The people running it are not

    Jump

  • Firefox still hasn't fixed Bug 1938998 despite me reporting it multiple times. There's a reason why Firefox is almost non existent on mobile. I've been using the internet for 26 years, and have used Mozilla based browsers since 2001, I want them to survive to the next era of the internet, but they are struggling to keep up. Opera and Edge already gave up their engines, Webkit and Blink are basically the same engine with different standards enabled, and Firefox is under 2% on some days on Statcounter. I feel that soon AI based browsers using their own AI-engine will probably take over the internet soon anyway.

  • Fedora proposal to drop 32-bit support has been withdrawn

    Jump

  • Yet Apple somehow got away with removing 32-bit apps and changing architectures multiple times.

  • Are there more autistic people now?

    Jump

  • I came across an autism documentary from the 1970s and it was only covering the classic autism symptoms back then (non verbal/learning difficulties), and they only thought 3000 autistic people existed in a population of 50 million. So much research has been done since then.

  • Mattel CEO says toy manufacturing won't come to America, but price hikes will

    Jump

  • Can't robots make toys for us in 2025? We shouldn't need to use humans at slavery level wages.

  • What happens to Firefox forks if Firefox dies?

    Jump

  • All the forks need to make a common engine independent of Mozilla. Pale Moon did it with Goanna and it is shared between Basilisk and K-Meleon as well. The big problem is that any new engine has to beat being filtered by Cloudflare or other WAFs that discriminate by user agent. A bold idea is for all the Firefox forks to rebase off of the new Ladybird engine and abandon the old Gecko codebase entirely.

  • Cloudflare blocking Pale Moon and other browsers with smaller user bases

    Jump

  • It is obvious that Cloudflare is being influenced to enforce browser monopolies. Imagine if Cloudflare existed in 2003 and stopped non Internet Explorer browsers. If you use cloudflare to "protect" your site you are discriminating against browser choice and are as bad as Microsoft in 1998.

  • What Ever Happened to Netscape?

    Jump

  • The closest you can get is the Seamonkey browser, which forked off the old Mozilla Application Suite that Netscape 6/7 was based on. The last version of Netscape 9 was just a rebranded Firefox 2.x.

  • Roses are red, violets are blue, everyone is using IPv6, why aren't you?

    Jump

  • Just remember we got rid of TLS 1.0 the same thing can be done with IPv4. It's time for browser makers to put "deprecated technology" warnings on ipv4 sites.

  • Relevant for all neurodivergence

    Jump

  • My personal theory is that the industrial revolution created more neurodivergence. The fact that stuff like computers and trains are common obsessions means that the development of technology is making life more neurodivergent friendly. My grandfather worked for Rolls Royce so I've got tech genes in me.

  • Microsoft Just Released MS-DOS Source Code!

    Jump

  • There are a lot of decades old embedded systems out there. Every so often you hear about a big company still relying on floppy disks and other old tech, including major railways and airplane companies. Having the source code will help with debugging better than having to disassemble or other reverse engineering.
