[03:58]	DaemonFC	schestowitz Prosperous even.
[03:59]	DaemonFC	"A recent report by Nationwide noted that 50% of retired survey respondents are considering a return to work out of fear of running out of money."
[03:59]	DaemonFC	What work will they be returning to?
[03:59]	DaemonFC	Unlike a person who was 26 when he complained about age discrimination in a computer repair workplace.
[03:59]	DaemonFC	:)
[03:59]	DaemonFC	Age discrimination doesn't even apply to me yet.
[03:59]	DaemonFC	You have to be at least 40.
● Feb 15
[04:01]	DaemonFC	schestowitz It's perfectly legal under State law to say someone is too young to work at your business. Age discrimination is only when you say they're too old and they're at least 40.
[04:01]	DaemonFC	"Cisco
[04:01]	DaemonFC	 announced plans to cut 5% of its workforce on Wednesday, a decision that will result in the elimination of about 4,250 jobs. Shares of Cisco were down as much as 9% in extended trading."
[04:02]	DaemonFC	Maybe if they said AI a bunch of times they could fire half the company and have the stock go up, like Microsoft.
[04:02]	DaemonFC	schestowitz I would have phrased your post about Mozilla harsher.
[04:03]	DaemonFC	Not just "the last time we knew, they paid Mitchell Baker $6 million that year".

[04:05]	DaemonFC	schestowitz I'm sure that $400,000 a year for Brian/Mckensie/Dayna/Bunny Mack was worth every penny.
[04:05]	DaemonFC	:)
[04:05]	DaemonFC	Maybe this is like the royal family waving at football.
[04:05]	DaemonFC	The President of the United States makes $400,000 a year!
[04:06]	DaemonFC	And they were giving it to some 400 pound gibbering DEI vegetable with to come in and make the workplace more toxic.
[04:06]	MinceR	makes?
[04:06]	DaemonFC	schestowitz The salary.
[04:06]	DaemonFC	Errr, MinceR 
[04:06]	DaemonFC	$400,000 a year.
[04:07]	DaemonFC	Plus they let you use the VA healthcare system.
[04:08]	DaemonFC	I mean, the President doesn't make much money. It's a job that now costs a billion and a half dollars to get and only pays $1.6 million over four years. The only reason anyone does it is that the big banks and such pay for the advertising to get some stooge into office who will sign their bills in exchange for bribes. Delayed, thinly veiled bribes.
[04:08]	DaemonFC	Like the Clintons and their speaking engagements at the banks they deregulated.
[04:11]	DaemonFC	MinceR: The Obama Foundation STILL hasn't got a Presidential Library. They said they wanted local Black labor from South Chicago to build it. And so no library despite Black unemployment being over 30% there. Imagine that.
[04:11]	DaemonFC	I feel like we're not allowed to notice that this has been going on for 7 years now.
[04:12]	DaemonFC	You'd think that with nearly 1/3rd of the locals unemployed and the kind of salary they'd pull down as members of a labor union building an entire Presidential Library campus, that it would be done.
[04:13]	DaemonFC	Maybe he should get Brian/Dayna/Bunny to do a study.
[04:13]	MinceR	maybe they don't have the proper training
[04:13]	DaemonFC	She's only a few blocks from the site.

[05:07]	DaemonFC	I don't think anyone is really upset about Lunduke publishing Mozilla's dirty laundry. I think they're more upset that now Mozilla will never get away from Google as its only real funding source.
[05:07]	DaemonFC	Nobody is going to donate money to Firefox development that goes to fake shell companies registered at a UPS store in south Chicago instead.
[05:07]	DaemonFC	Added to the fact that Mozilla gave up and fired everyone from VPN, Relay, and their other stuff, Google will probably climb from the 86% of Mozilla's revenue they are now. Even as their incentive to fund Mozilla dwindles.

[09:37]	DaemonFC	You know, you fix some bugs, backport some new JavaScript code. It's 2.53.19.
[09:37]	DaemonFC	Not version 119.
[09:38]	DaemonFC	If they do eventually rebase onto a newer Gecko engine and port the Suite code to it, it'll likely be 2.57.

[09:51]	DaemonFC	Great care is taken by SeaMonkey to make sure those two don't ever break.
[09:53]	DaemonFC	schestowitz The multi-process model in Firefox really sucks anyway.
[09:53]	DaemonFC	It adds noticeable jank even on a fast PC.
[09:59]	DaemonFC	schestowitz SeaMonkey still has the RSS logo in the address bar when a feed is available. There's really no reason to remove it.

[10:00]	DaemonFC	Unfortunately, some of Mozilla's brain damage does end up causing problems.
[10:00]	DaemonFC	The Download manager had to be ported to an API Firefox uses, and lost the search button.
[10:00]	DaemonFC	The FTP support is gone.
[10:02]	DaemonFC	So it does lose features because of Mozilla.
[10:02]	DaemonFC	I'm guessing it gets tossed if it's something that will be difficult to maintain while backporting other stuff that's more important.
[10:02]	DaemonFC	I don't know how they're going to get around the upstream removal of <tree> and heavyweight theme support.
[10:03]	DaemonFC	I guess they could patch <tree> back in and remove the themes except the default one, which would still work.

[21:28]	TR Bot	 Nine Reasons Women Dont Edit Wikipedia (in their own words) | Sue Gardner's Blog
[21:28]	DaemonFC	"Because the editing interface isn't user friendly."
[21:28]	DaemonFC	So we need to dumb it down more than WYSIWYG?
[21:29]	DaemonFC	How much more? So consumertards can use a hamburger button on an iPhone?
[21:30]	DaemonFC	They should just change it so where you have to write HTML 5 and CSS 3 and JavaScript yourself. That ought to shut them up. After all, some of the biggest DEI companies in the world made HTML such a mess you almost need college degrees to write it now.
[21:30]	MinceR	:)
[21:30]	DaemonFC	Whereas anyone could grab a $10 book at the mall when I had a Web site and write HTML by looking at some examples.
[21:31]	DaemonFC	"Some women dont edit Wikipedia because they are too busy."
[21:31]	MinceR	you can still do it, it just isn't "hip" or "cool" because it doesn't make your browser gobble another GB of RAM or make the fans spin up like your computer wants to take off
[21:31]	DaemonFC	So their poor time management is a problem for us to solve? Also, how?
[21:31]	MinceR	i don't edit wikipedia because i don't have the time to waste on wikipedia
[21:31]	DaemonFC	"Some women dont edit Wikipedia because they arent sufficiently self-confident, and editing Wikipedia requires a lot of self-confidence."
[21:32]	DaemonFC	Again, self-confidence is something you have to acquire yourself. This is a you problem, not a me problem.
[21:32]	DaemonFC	"Some women dont edit Wikipedia because they are conflict-averse and dont like Wikipedias sometimes-fighty culture."
[21:32]	MinceR	sometimes, lol
[21:32]	DaemonFC	Women shouldn't ask for combat roles in the military if they're unable to handle conflict by nature.
[21:33]	MinceR	whoda thunk the site where web brigades fight out whose view gets published could sometimes get fighty
[21:33]	DaemonFC	"Some women dont edit Wikipedia because the information they bring to Wikipedia is too likely to be reverted or deleted."
[21:33]	DaemonFC	That's not a problem with women editing the thing, that's the problem of Wikipedia itself.
[21:33]	DaemonFC	I don't edit it as much as I could because I know someone is paying people to revert it if they don't like it, even if it is true.
[21:34]	DaemonFC	"Some women dont edit Wikipedia because they find its overall atmosphere misogynist."
[21:34]	DaemonFC	They point to an article about Blade Runner having the word "sex" when it apparently should have been "rape".
[21:35]	DaemonFC	I thought it was an excellent movie and I don't recall any rape scenes.
[21:35]	DaemonFC	They pointed to the article, which has since changed and doesn't say sex, rape, or make love instead of the edit they were talking about.
[21:35]	DaemonFC	So they have failed to reference what they were alleging in a way that is now easy to find, if it ever existed at all.
[21:36]	DaemonFC	Then they complained that Rape and Revenge Genre has an article on Wikipedia, even though this is actually a Genre of movies.
[21:36]	DaemonFC	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_and_revenge
[21:36]	TR Bot	 Rape and revenge - Wikipedia
[21:37]	DaemonFC	So apparently talking about something that does exist is not okay even if you're not promoting it or saying it's alright.
[21:37]	eidolon	Who got raped in Blade Runner? Was it the scene with Rachael and the piano?
[21:37]	eidolon	And Colonel Mustard with the candlestick
[21:37]	DaemonFC	So we need to delete the articles about Hitler, the Nazis, the Holocaust, and the Chicago Police raiding gay bars in the 60s.
[21:38]	DaemonFC	Those are uncomfortable and because they're in Wikipedia, it means the site is promoting Nazism.
[21:38]	DaemonFC	And homophobia!
[21:39]	DaemonFC	"Some women find Wikipedia culture to be sexual in ways they find off-putting.
[21:39]	DaemonFC	From a comment on the Atlantic Monthly site from a female Wikipedia administrator: Thankfully, I have never been harassed (much) based on my gender. But, for example, an editor with whom I frequently collaborate used to maintain a gallery of hot chicks in bikinis as a subpage of his userpage. It was ultimately deleted after a deletion discussion, but he was totally oblivious to the fact...
[21:39]	DaemonFC	...that things like that create an environment where women do not feel welcome. [21]"
[21:39]	DaemonFC	----
[21:40]	DaemonFC	Most men are like that, and honestly, who even cares?
[21:40]	DaemonFC	There are workplaces that are (thank God) devoid of women where the men who work there hang pictures of naked women from magazines near their workbench.
[21:41]	MinceR	so, it stands to reason that women do not feel welcome on a planet where hot chicks in bikinis exist
[21:41]	MinceR	i wonder whose fault that is.
[21:41]	DaemonFC	The hot chicks in bikinis I suppose.
[21:41]	MinceR	are those women?

[21:49]	DaemonFC	MinceR: I don't know why there are homophobes. It makes less sense to try to simp for women like the one that wrote this crap.
[21:50]	DaemonFC	When you're gay you can actually engage in guy humor (at least in the car with the windows rolled up) and both of you can entertain each other.
[21:50]	MinceR	https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/oots/images/6/62/OOTS1043.png/revision/latest?cb=20160830193039
[21:50]	DaemonFC	Can you imagine how pathetic a man would have to be to try to get with a woman who is offended, deeply offended, that an article about Blade Runner mentions sex?
[21:50]	MinceR	lol
[21:51]	eidolon	You can still do all these things, unapologetically. You can still laugh. No one can take this away.
[21:51]	eidolon	Laugh right in their face.
[21:51]	admfubar	if you really want to laugh hard, look for "spike & mike's sick and twisted festival of animation"
[21:51]	DaemonFC	"Some women whose primary language has grammatical gender find being addressed by Wikipedia as male off-putting."
[21:52]		*jacobk has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
[21:52]	DaemonFC	All the more reason why everyone should learn English and speak it.
[21:52]	DaemonFC	They won't have to be offended when they see "user" in the masculine form on their Wikipedia page.
[21:53]	MinceR	German could use being made genderless as well
[21:53]	MinceR	i doubt anyone exists who knows the genders of all the nouns
[21:55]	DaemonFC	As ridiculous as Ariadne is, I will say, at least they haven't patched Mastodon to refuse to show anything to SeaMonkey because I use SeaMonkey.
[21:55]	DaemonFC	Like Ariadne's proposal to ban certain fediverse implementations because some bad people are using them.
[21:56]	DaemonFC	Maybe Ariadne should just stop federating at all since you can't control other instances, and since people have CP on stock Mastodon servers.
[21:56]	DaemonFC	So that must make the software bad.
[21:56]	DaemonFC	There was a feature request to blacklist Pleroma(sp?) because some white supremacists were apparently using it.
[21:57]	DaemonFC	Nothing prevents them from using stock Mastodon.
[21:57]	DaemonFC	Thankfully, as stupid and fucking ignorant as the people behind Mastodon are, they didn't go along with Ariadne on this.

It isn't based on WebKit and it isn't based on Firefox, it is written from scratch for a hobbyist operating system SerenityOS by some awesome/crazy people. The browser, called Ladybird, actually can be compiled for Windows, Linux, Mac, OpenIndiana and Android.
[22:02]	DaemonFC	It can pass Acid3 and render Github page well (note that Firefox and Chrome circa 2018 cannot do that!), and it has decent JS and afaik wasm support.
[22:02]	DaemonFC	Their site is https://ladybird.dev/

[22:02]	DaemonFC	I am not related to the project in any way, just amazed that it exist, and I think it deserves more love and publicity. And optimizations for low-end computers. And privacy features. And so on!
[22:02]	DaemonFC	----
[22:02]	DaemonFC	SeaMonkey fixed GitHub and then Microsoft broke it again with more Chromeisms.
[22:02]	DaemonFC	But Gitlab still works fine.
[22:03]	DaemonFC	No, a Chromeism isn't something that's a Web standard that I just don't like. It's specifically something that Chrome does that they didn't even bother to ram through a standards body that they mostly control anyway.
[22:03]	DaemonFC	Hundreds of things that fall under this heading.

[22:09]	TR Bot	 Pale Moon - Release Notes
[22:09]	DaemonFC	"Implemented PromiseRejectionEvent. Although this is rarely actually used, some common JS libraries (you know who you are!) use it as a feature level canary and start loading (broken!) Promise shims if it is not found, causing compatibility issues and broken websites due to the shims."
[22:09]	DaemonFC	This is in SeaMonkey's nightly branch for 2.53.19.
[22:09]	MinceR	broken promise, hur hur
[22:10]	DaemonFC	I think they just adapted the patch from Pale Moon.
[22:11]	DaemonFC	MinceR: the broken shims caused more trouble than not supporting it at all did.
[22:11]	DaemonFC	MinceR: I'm probably just going to start following the SeaMonkey nightlies and bump it whenever there's new JavaScript support or something.
[22:12]	DaemonFC	Waiting several months between releases when the Web is rapidly getting worse all the time just makes it that much more painful.
[22:12]	eidolon	The harder we laugh the worse it gets.
[22:12]	eidolon	Or, the other way. :D

[22:23]	DaemonFC	EN
[22:23]	DaemonFC	glad to know that mozilla's new CEO does not give a fucking shit at all about firefox as a product
[22:23]	DaemonFC	less glad to know that the only viable fork of firefox is run by a person who literally harasses distributions for packaging it with unvendored dependencies"
[22:23]	DaemonFC	---
[22:23]	DaemonFC	I've spoken with some SeaMonkey developers of this and found that they too were having issues with distributions building it with system libraries.
[22:24]	DaemonFC	It's maddening to chase down a bug and find out that Debian or someone is shipping a slightly modified library that is not what you were expecting and tries to pass it off as the real deal and then your program crashes and users come to you.
[22:25]	DaemonFC	But Harvey is probably talking about Pale Moon.
[22:25]	DaemonFC	Which actually did threaten distributions over the licensing.
[22:25]	DaemonFC	Which is something that Mozilla also does.
[22:26]	DaemonFC	Pale Moon being "the only viable fork of Firefox" is debatable.
[22:26]	DaemonFC	Whenever SeaMonkey has trouble rendering a page, Pale Moon tends to have the same problem.
[22:26]	admfubar	https://www.osnews.com/story/138605/apple-intentionally-kills-web-applications-for-eu-users-in-ios-17-4-onward-to-spite-its-eu-users/
[22:26]	TR Bot	intentionally kills web applications for EU users in iOS 17.4 onward to spite its EU users OSnews
[22:27]	DaemonFC	So Pale Moon's biggest problem is that the lead developer is a jerk and he has a history of dishonesty. Such as making false and unsubstantiated attacks against NoScript for "causing problems even after users remove it".
[22:27]	DaemonFC	Pale Moon has a startup page full of ads that pay "Moonchild" money and NoScript fucks this page up because it blocks the JavaScript.
[22:28]	DaemonFC	JavaScript is a big problem, especially when there's a modern page trying to load some from dozens of domains and run it in a Web browser where everything runs in one process.

[22:29]	DaemonFC	to be absolutely clear, when presented with information that a minor is being pushed into sexting with an adult on discord, the correct answer is to tell the minor to report the adult to discord, who can then pull the logs and make their own decision on how to proceed (such as, for example, forwarding the logs with registration data to NCMEC), not report their fediverse account to *me* who...

[22:37]	DaemonFC	----
[22:37]	DaemonFC	I guess David missed the part where Ariadne wanted an upstream "feature" to allow blocking other fediverse software on the theory that Nazis and pedophiles could use that software, when in reality most of them just take Mastodon and deploy it.

[22:38]	DaemonFC	Once you release open source software, anyone can use it and it is not a copyright violation. If they use it in some illegal way, it is not the fault of the author of that software.
[22:38]	DaemonFC	It may be a matter for law enforcement.
[22:38]	MinceR	obviously, the only viable solution to this is that browser developers will ship an entire OS and distributions will run it in a VM

[22:39]	DaemonFC	You mean like a Chromebook?
[22:39]	DaemonFC	MinceR: Netscape had to be killed because they were planning systems that ran on Linux that came with the Netscape browser.
[22:39]	DaemonFC	The programs that were intended to run on it would run in Java.
[22:39]	MinceR	yes, like a chromebook
[22:40]	DaemonFC	The JRE in Netscape 4 was horrific.
[22:40]	MinceR	though they should probably write their own everything because what if there was a bug in something someone else wrote?
[22:40]	MinceR	also, what if there was a bug in the CPU design?
[22:40]	DaemonFC	Grind the hard disk loudly.... "Java Loading....."
[22:40]	DaemonFC	Netscape 4 the browser was horrific.
[22:40]	DaemonFC	But the JRE especially so.
[22:40]	DaemonFC	But it had an excellent mail client.
[22:41]	MinceR	too bad mozilla gave up on boot to gecko and settled for bullying distributors instead
[22:41]	MinceR	i guess it's easier
[22:41]	DaemonFC	I kept using that for a long time and then eventually migrated the data to Mozilla Suite and SeaMonkey.
[22:41]	MinceR	soon they'll give up on developing a browser as well
[22:41]	DaemonFC	I still have the "welcome to Netscape" email from Marc Andreeson in my SeaMonkey mailbox.
[22:41]	MinceR	it takes too much money away that could be wasted on even more irrelevant bullshit
[22:41]	DaemonFC	It's all survived over 26 years of profile updates.
[22:42]	DaemonFC	Meanwhile, Microsoft's mail programs have been known to shit themselves randomly and destroy everything every several months even with no software update at all.
[22:42]	DaemonFC	:)
[22:42]	DaemonFC	Parts of my mailbox are 26 years old and started out on Windows 98 in Netscape Communicator.
[22:42]	MinceR	and when MICROS~1 made a newer web mail interface, they made sure to reimplement at least 1 of the annoying bugs that made lookout difficult to use
[22:43]	MinceR	got to have all the bugs.
[22:43]	DaemonFC	MinceR: RoM II/RoM II SE removed Outlook Express as part of the decrapification process.
[22:43]	DaemonFC	Without Trident, it wasn't going to work anyway.
[22:44]	MinceR	and RoM III will remove windows as part of the decrapification process?
[22:44]	MinceR	it never worked anyway
[22:44]	DaemonFC	It removed basically all the bloat and shit that didn't work without Trident or that nobody was going to use, including the Welcome to Windows program.
[22:44]	DaemonFC	It sat there using a couple MB even though it only ran once.
[22:44]	DaemonFC	:)
[22:44]	MinceR	classic MICROS~1
[22:44]	DaemonFC	2 MB was significant when most hard disks were between 1-4 GB.
[22:45]	DaemonFC	4 GB if you were lucky.
[22:45]	DaemonFC	For a program that wasn't helpful and only ran one time.
[22:47]	DaemonFC	It purged out so many things that Windows 98 was only about half the installed size.
[22:47]	eidolon	https://0x0.st/Hn84.jpg
[22:47]	DaemonFC	Most of the hotfixes didn't make any sense to try to install after that.
[22:47]	DaemonFC	They usually fixed bugs in IE or something, which no longer existed.
[22:48]	DaemonFC	I gathered up a collection of hotfixes that affected other parts of the system and just backed them up. It wasn't that many.
[22:49]	DaemonFC	I use ridiculously old personal accounting software.
[22:50]	DaemonFC	It's from the Windows 3.1 era.
[22:50]	DaemonFC	It does actually work in wine but I have it in a VM.
[22:50]	DaemonFC	The VM is mainly for DOS though.
[22:50]	DaemonFC	It just happens to have a full copy of Windows for Workgroups.

[23:26]	DaemonFC	schestowitz I did get something for pushing this failing power adapter a bit longer.
[23:26]	DaemonFC	Lenovo put the replacement I need on sale $20 cheaper.
[23:28]	DaemonFC	The power adapter it came with has a break in the wire that occasionally causes the laptop to run off the battery. Unplugging it and plugging it back in fixes it for a while.
[23:28]	DaemonFC	I decided that since I need a new one anyway, they make one that's better designed that was meant for a Chromebook but is compatible with this system.
[23:28]	DaemonFC	They claim that it's also more energy efficient.
