yes but active usage doesnt mean it was not used?
If their criteria was “at least 1 person uses it at all, sometimes” then it would not have been removed 🤔
likely no maintenance effort at all.
The maintenance comes less from the code and more from making sure that every single menu added or changed in any way continues to behave correctly in three different sizes with themes and everything.
It’s hidden away behind a flag now because it hasn’t been actively used for years on end.
Not the other way around.
It is essentially just extra maintenance of a feature in Firefox that (statistically) not many people use
As such, it’s marked as “unsupported” to make clear that if any issues arise, Mozilla won’t help you with those issues.
Syncthing does have an Android app, but I’ve never looked into doing anything syncthing-related on iOS because I simply don’t have any iOS devices :/
I’ve resorted to just syncing my fault folder using Syncthing externally, surprisingly convenient
If you wanna go nuts on the data, probably Obsidian.md with the built-in Daily Note plugin and the Dataview plugin, which allows you to do all kinds of crazy operations on the data in your vault as if it was a database.
If you wanna go less nuts, obsidian still has tagging, linking notes, daily notes, and all kinds of other stuff built-in and is extensible by things like the Calendar plugin from the community.
And everything is stored as plain Markdown with the occasional hint of JSON (for some plugins) so you’re not locked into using Obsidian until the end of time. Your data is yours.
(I realise this sounds like an ad but I’ve just been using Obsidian for years now and I enjoy it)
atomic updates 🧠
They’re at @protonprivacy@mastodon.social
They should’ve just moved the other twitter domains too 🫠
This issue comes from the fact that even though the domain is now changed to x.com, it still tries to load content from twitter.com which Firefox thinks is social media tracking because it’s coming from a different domain than the one you’re on.
It’s a hilarious and dumb oversight with this change.
Note that tons of instances have increased the limit FAR beyond 500 chars. Mine has 2000.
You can actually put alt-text in images, ![alt-text](URL)
As per the MV3 Specification, it is supposed to remove some APIs.
Firefox included them anyways cuz they’re not assholes.
Manifest V3 changes capabilities and meta-data about extensions, including limiting lots of things that worsen the experience for AdBlock Users.
Google’s “cookie replacement” is Ad Topics, which collects your browser history and puts it into categories, sending those categories to websites.
+ the collision is much less of a problem, the issue was that even if you clipped through you had to be in the walking state to open the door (you could clip through before!)
This new tactic involves doing a turnaround, after which for ~1 frame you enter the walking state in midair, allowing you to open the door after being pushed through by the penguin at the right time.
Nintendo has not taken action on the massively popular SM64 Decompilation and PC ports (and ironically switch ports) in the past what…3 years?
They probably mean the Super Mario 64 Decompilation Project.
The goal was to turn the finished ROM back into unable code, that would do 1:1 the same thing. They finished a couple of years back.
Indeed, these decom projects do not include any of Nintendo’s assets.
The code compiles 1:1 back into a unable ROM but isn’t made just using a source code leak. It is reverse-engineered just like the SM64 decomp
Hosting data yourself wouldn’t be required, but it would become an option.
You’d have the option of leaving your identity on your home server, or a separate domain/website, or host your data and identity but use another instance to federate.
Though, designing UX for this will be an interesting challenge.
