me: maybe it'll work in semaphore, that new pinafore fork?

me: *opens semaphore.social*

luakit: *immediately segfaults*

me: ok, I guess I can ride out firefox further into its death throes; I don't need to switch off quite yet

after reading about mozilla's new "we have to build an AI thing because AI is hot right now" strategy it's prompted me to try out alternative browsers since it's clear the days of firefox are numbered

I hate the idea of admitting defeat, but I learned that webkit is actually fairly far out from under the thumb of google, and it's not as much of a concession to monopoly as I once thought

anyway I'm giving luakit a shot because I like the idea of writing my dotfiles in a language I don't hate, but it seems that in pinafore it's ... impossible to scroll? at all? arrow keys do nothing; j and k do nothing

anyone had success using pinafore in one of these weird keyboard-driven webkit browsers?

"Profits on Medicare Advantage plans are at least double what insurers earn from other kinds of policies, according to a recent analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

To the surprise of many in the industry, leaders in Congress have not stepped forward to vigorously defend the private plans."

I still haven't read any of the Dungeon Meshi comics yet but Senshi is the representation I needed for men with overly large beards spilling awkwardly out of inadequate facial coverings

Attachments:

• A color illustration of the dwarf Senshi from Dungeon Meshi. He's wearing a horned helmet with a cutout that leaves his eyes and nose visible. His moustache overhangs the lower edge of the helmet, making it look almost like he has a steel jaw. The rest of his beard hangs below his helmet, obscuring his entire torso down to his waist.
