@ Thanks! Sure, it could be useful, it won’t be obvious for everyone to look at their browser console to understand the issue.

Looking for a reason to use Firefox more when developing sites? on macOS it’s the browser that smashes into the least horizontal space. Good if you like having a browser window running all the time. Doubly good if you like running it in Split View.

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net you’re really using w3m as your main browser?

@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net : Ah, I still don’t see your posts in my timeline even though the file is good on my browser :/

Is there a convenient way to make your desktop browser pretend to be a mobile browser so sites don’t try to allocate twenty gigs of memory for goddamned css animations?

Gopher will be shown directly. I’m not logging anything. But you must be aware that your search terms would touch my server first.

Bad idea of the day: A browser extension that links everything in your browser cache with a fake file whose name is a hash of that item, serves those fake files over bittorrent, and, for all URLs whose expiration date is in the future, keeps a distributed table of URL to hash & attempts to fetch from bittorrent before from http

Impact Is Now Free & Open Source
My HTML5 Game Engine Impact launched almost 8 years ago. The last update was published in 2014. While Impact still works nicely in modern browsers, it lacks support for better graphic and sound APIs that are now available. I felt increasingly bad for selling a product that is hardly maintained or improved.

So as of today Impact will be available completely for free, published under the permissive MIT License.

@saabeilin @micaelwidell You can read in the browser: https://t.co/vCzXnihOsG

Remember to add “AddDefaultCharset utf-8” for your twtxt file if you’re using apache. Otherwise browsers will serve cp1252. The twtxt clients won’t care but maybe someone is watching your file with a browser?

@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx I think there’s just a charset=utf-8 missing to see it correctly in the browser. It’s fine in a terminal.

@tomas@bootlog.org Something weird is happening when i want to curl your twtfile: Empty reply from server. Browsers works fine.

Video quality while on 3G
The same day I got the iPad 3G, I noticed a very contrasting video quality while using Wi-Fi and while using 3G. Videos watched on Youtube would have HD quality (Wi-Fi); same videos, while on 3G, would show horribly. Yet, videos on Apple, while on 3G or Wi-Fi, would show perfectly. All that whether using the app or the web browser, tested both.

Is it Youtube serving a very low quality video to 3G users? Is it AT&T doing it? Is it something built-in on iOS? ⌘ Read more

Single sign on
Since I am going to start migrating all my web logins to a single sign on approach (using Chris Zarate SuperGenPass), I think the best way to start is by saving the bookmarklet I will have to use over and over. There is a Greasemonkey version available, which has much more features than this bookmarklet version. I will use the latest because it works with all browsers.

The bookmarklet is: Single Sign on.. Drag and drop it on you … ⌘ Read more

Sunday morning rants
As I previously wrote, I believe IE is no match to Firefox. I will tell everyone I know about its problems, I will show those to them if I can. I will praise the goods of Firefox, so everyone I know will enjoy web browsing as much as I am. But…

The worse Web Browser
Not too long ago I was an Internet Explorer fan. The pages I went to looked fine under it, the experience seemed rich. There were no complains. Then I started fiddling with CSS and moving away from tables. I experienced the advantages of the PNG format and I loved it. I experienced functionability I never saw before. I got tired of hearing about major problems and running security updates. I got my eyes opened.

I wonder why it took that long. Perhaps Mozilla Firefox was not that polis … ⌘ Read more
