@firefoxwebdevs The frame of this question is risible.

I am begging you to just make a web browser.

Make it the best browser for the open web. Make it a browser that empowers individuals. Make it a browser that defends users against threats.

Do not make a search engine. Do not make a translation engine. Do not make a webpage summariser. Do not make a front-end for an LLM. Do not make a client-side LLM.

Just. Make. A. Web. Browser.

Please.

Ok, this is an odd one, but I need a recommendation for a really good sandwich maker.

I recently got the Krups FDK451, which got rave reviews all over the net, but I'm fairly disappointed. It wobbles, the trays aren't replaceable, it barely fits large toasts, and the locking latch is made of cheapest plastic.

There's got to be a better product out there?!

working on a legacy Sass/SCSS + Gulp setup and oh boy has that not aged well

One does not simply "npm install" an old project. One hour to fix compile errors, another two to reproduce the correct CSS, and I still have 100 deprecation warnings

this is why I "no build" and just write CSS today

We plan to disable the "live feeds" of the local and federated timelines on mastodon.social within in the next couple of weeks. They are already disabled on mastodon.online. While these feeds can be useful on smaller, topical or regional servers, they have limited use on larger servers like ours.

The live feeds present all content on the server immediately and essentially pre-moderation, which presents a particularly poor experience to new users finding the fediverse for the first time.

Today my server is getting slammed by a very wide botnet that is really interested in such hits as

Not an AI training bot! How quaint! How retro!

It seems to be associated with something called "bxss dot me" and to them I would like to sincerely say, I hate you please die.

Who's this spying on my Apple Music activity?:

In my iPhone settings, I stumbled across a list of apps Apple says “are signed in to your Apple Music account and can access your music activity and media library.” The problem is, I don’t remember giving permission.

Czech donations to a weapons fund for Ukraine spiked after parliament speaker Tomio Okamura's anti-Ukraine New Year's address - 780,000 crowns ($38k) on day one, 954,000 ($46k) the next.

Over 50,000 Czechs signed a letter apologizing for his remarks.

What The Fib.

Every time I notice the layout of LEDs on these spotlights at the club, I cringe. Why, why would you do that!

A square tiling makes sense. A triangular or hexagonal tiling makes more sense. A Fibonacci spiral makes the most sense. But what the absolute clustering-fuck is this shit? This layout gets more cursed the more you look at it.
