In less sucky (but still sucky) phone gaming adventures, KrapOS™ can actually run Doom!
https://github.com/pelya/doom-kaios

Too bad playability is not great:

- Unless you have the one KaiOS phone with a portrait screen (because it's the one device that also has a QWERTY keyboard), you'll be forced to play with your phone sideways, which is very awkward, to say the least. But hey, at least you get PHYSICAL KEYS!

- No music, because MIDI synthesis would be too much for the weak CPUs and ancient Firefox versions of those devices, dropping framerates to "frames per MINUTE" levels.

- Lag is the name of the game (particularly with shit phones like my Zoey Smart), and this is particularly noticeable with sound effects. YMMV if you own a less shitty phone.

- 256MB RAM devices can only run the built-in FreeDoom WAD and the Doom shareware WAD. The app will bomb out when trying to import retail Doom I/II WADs due to Gecko OOM'ing - amazingly the phone will NOT crash/reboot/halt and catch fire, instead you'll be kicked out to the homescreen.

I've seen Doom running on even more miserable hardware, though, so at least KrapOS™ doesn't get a zero here.

Apparently noVideo is giving up with its planned purchase of Acorn RISC Machines, and it's all thanks to the competition, the US, the EU... but mainly China, which swore to NEVER EVER APPROVE THE MERGER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, EVER!
https://archive.fo/NEg6u

I mean, why nVidia does even need to buy ARM in first place if they want to control the full stack? Do they don't have an architectural license? The very same that Apple has had since the very beginning, which led them all the way from the Newton up to the Holy Grail of all ARM SoCs, the M1 series.

Also, can't believe ARM is worth less than Activision-Blizzard, whose main business line these days relies on content for -you guessed it!- ARM-powered devices! In any case, since nVidia is going "screw y'all, I'm going home", wonder what SoftBank will do with it: remember, they still have a $150B hole to fill in their accounting! At this stage, I guess their only option would be an IPO.

UPDATE (2022/02/08): IPO it is:

https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/08/arm_cancels_sale_to_nvidia/
Good luck next century, noVideo. We don't need more monopolies in tech, or anywhere else, thank you very much~

I do not give a fuck on assholeware projects like Pale Moon.

My sole interaction with it is when Tobin comes to troll at SeaMonkey's IRC channel once in a blue moon, just because he has a hateboner on the staff (mainly on frg). I don't know how I haven't burst up yet, especially after that time when he tried to put ME against the SM "council", insinuating that I would be a better "boss" (it was an incredibly awkward day for everybody there, but that's Toxic Tobin for you)

PM has its userbase, that's fine, the more choice the better. But enough is enough, and I'm firmly on "not using assholeware" camp, so for me it's SeaMonkey or bust.

And to be fair, my Public Enemy Numero Uno right now isn't Pale Moon, but Google and the entirety of Silicon Valley.

...

Dear webshits: if you're trying to get all fancy and use emoji regexes, or null coalescing operators (aka "??"), STOP. I've had more and more websites completely break on me due to those stupid "features" while adding ZERO new functionality to your frontends. Better yet, lay down the Javascript crack pipe, and GO LEARN NATIVE DEVELOPMENT AGAIN!

Good times. Again though - the "web" is dead, and now I'm just waiting for QT to make a web edition. Or GTK. It's bound to happen.


Unfortunately that already exists, and it's called WebAssembly:

Status of the Messengers, year 2022:

- WhatsFuckingCrapp is still the fucking king in Soviet Venezuela. Now even banks, teloos, and the communist state of Maduro is pushing for its increased use for communications to customers/The People™. WHY. Why Meth hasn't been forced yet to forcibly disconnect Soviet Venezuela if we're THAT evil? Also, the network effect is so strong that, short of a complete blockade/shutdown, looks like it is impossible to break the addiction here!

- Telegram clings to life. Many installed the app during The Great WhatsApp Threat, but promptly forgot about it. My Telegram account sees little use, with sporadic messaging with only ONE user. Ironically, one of my uncles (which is a heavy WA user, as he even avoids doing phone calls/SMS these days) flat out refuses to install Telegram because "gotta avoid the Russians" (and better don't argue with people with politics background, unless you want to sever family ties for good). This one came out of the blue, but aside of that, Telegram's adoption in Soviet Venezuela is "meh".

- Thankfully nobody ever talks about the assholeware known as Signal here, while Hackernews get their panties in a bunch at the mere mention of "YOU CAN'T HAVE MY PHONE NUMBER, MOXIE!!!"... despite being forced to use WhatsFuckingCrapp (which also relies on phone numbers) for family/work reasons. Seriously, what's the point of having a phone if you don't want to give out your number to people that might be interested into communicating with you, which is, like, the whole purpose of phones since Alexander Graham Bell made the first phone call centuries ago?! I get it, USAian telcos are terminal cancers, SIMswaps are a real threat model there, blah blah blah, but... why do you even have a phone in first place?! Look, as much as I hate proprietary software, Silicon Valley, and TLAs, I do not hate phones as a communications device!

- Matrix continues to be a big fat zero outside (very niche) nerd circles (as most nerds these days hang out on fucking Discord, sadly). I've yet to find a client for my cellphone that isn't webshit (all of them are either Element -which is bloaty Electron-, Element clones, or Fluffychat which is the only one not built on Electron... instead it uses yet another hipster app framework from Google: Flutter, which seems to be more bloaty pseudo-native junk on Yet Another Hipster Programming Language, Dart), and the Pidgin plugin is buggy and often loses messages, while all other desktop apps I've tried that aren't Electron webshit (Nheko, and another Qt-based app I found on Debian repos) are even more unusable bugfests with round avatars and -in the case of Nheko- total UI/UX trainwrecks.

tl;dr: everything is terrible and it's only getting worse, because nobody gives a damn :/

AGH GiggityCodes broke on our beloved non-Chromistan browsers. AGAIN. GAAAAAAAH!!!!!
TWO shiny JavaScript-related breakages on different code hosting places IN THE VERY SAME DAY (yesterday)!!!

- GiggityHub: all non-ES2020+ compliant browsers (that is, anything that isn't Chrome®™, a Chrome®™ clone, or latest Firefuxed) are now persona navigator non grata, including SeaMonkey, Pale Moon, etc, starting February 17th, 2022 (yesterday!)
https://github.com/JustOff/github-wc-polyfill/issues/44

- GiggityLab: they just deployed their latest metric crapload of fancy regexes with named capture groups, which are unlikely to be supported on our "LEGACY DO NOT USE DANGER MINES LIVE PIRANHAS INSIDE" browsers this year. Again, a change introduced in the last few days, but which seems to have came up live in production yesterday.
https://github.com/JustOff/github-wc-polyfill/issues/45


If you work as a frontend developer at Giggity(Hub|Lab), or any place where the target is Chrome®™: please kill yourself. No, don't quit, kill yourself. You have helped to damage the web beyond any point of no return. You are SHIT. You chase shiny for the sake of shiny because your life have no meaning. You and me can't be friends, EVER. Hope we don't cross paths ever, otherwise our encounter will not have a happy end. You are a war criminal to me, and deserve to be punished as one. You are a disgrace to software development, computer science, and mankind in general.

Yes, I'm more pissed than usual. It's no fun to waste half a day fighting against your very own PC to get shit done just because you didn't chose to follow the path of the shepple.

In similar pathetic news of why computers are doomed:

GiggityLab's latest pack of fancy regexes have been successfully neutered... for now.
GiggityHub is still... GiggityHub. Apparently there is some breakage specific to SeaMonkey, so I guess I'll be involved into another excruciatingly boring bisect drill, as there are reports that the breakage is NOT on previous SM 2.53.x releases (.9 works, .10 is broken, .11b1 is broken, .12b1pre is broken... maybe a regression?)

The addons I use:

- Flashblock*: Flash has been dead for over a year but it also works as a video blocker, which is a godsend when my DSL dies and I'm forced to fallback on mobile data. Also, plenty of sites abuse of autoplaying video (hello, JWZ!), and I rarely watch videos nowadays.

- Sea Fox*: I love SeaMonkey, but I'm not fond of its Netscape-era UI, and I consider the FF3 UI to be the pinnacle of browser UIs, so Sea Fox allows me to bring back the UI that Mozilla UXtards stole from us.

- MonkeyFix*: handy UI tweaks to complete that old FF look'n'feel, and then some.

- pdf.js (this SM-specific fork): Despite what Moonchild and Tobin says, I DO need a PDF reader in my web browser, and that's not negotiable. You can't use upstream pdf.js anymore due to obvious reasons, but fortunately this fork exists... too bad it seems to be stagnating!

- Old Default Image Style: helps centering images and gets rid of the stupid (to me) black background introduced years ago by Mozilla. Also allows you to customize the default stylesheet used to display images.

- Redirector*: A must-have if you can't stand bloaty frontends for Twatter/Medium blogspam, or to force Reddit to stay at the old UI. For Twatter, redirect it to your favorite Nitter instance. For Medium, there are similar crap filters. This keeps the JavaScript back where they belong, at Silly Valley, not in my PC.

Please notice that I don't run script blockers (if you abuse with the JavaScripts, that's a site I'm not coming back, EVER), or ad blockers (I firmly believe that ad blocking belongs to the network layer, not to the application layer, so that's why I run the equivalent of a PiHole on my routerbox). Hell, I'm not even a addon lover, I just use as few addons as possible to preserve my personal sanity, not to improve my UX.


(* = addons that are dead upstream/discontinued for XUL-based browsers, and require manual hax to get them up and working on recent SeaMonkey releases - a good starting point is this addon converter)

The HOSTS file way quickly becomes unmanageable, so nope.

If you can't dedicate extra hardware for your DNS filtering solution (be it a Pi, a repurposed old computer running one of the many router distros, or even a beefy consumer WLAN box running custom firmware), you may want to run a proper DNS server on your machine and point your network setup to use 127.0.0.1 for DNS.

- For Linux (and all of the *BSDs?), setting up BIND is not that hard. I use this to generate my block lists on a separate RPZ (I also have a special RPZ for blocking Farcebook)

- For Windows, sucks to be you. I guess you can run a minimal Linux VM with bridged network access and run BIND there, but that's kinda bloaty IMO.

The Gaben's Switch Killer Steam Deck is here!

...and iFixit got the nudes, as usual:

- Love the "VALVE POWERED BY AMD" engraved on the APU - Valve actually splurged the extra monies for custom silicon and not just a run-off-the-mill Ryzen APU.

- The SSD is a M.2 2230, the same format as on the Xbox SeX.

- Battery replacements look very painful, following the Way of Apple®. No quick-release tabs, loads of strong adhesive, and a L-shaped battery means that when your 90-minute autonomy (as reported by some folks that pushed the pedal to the metal on the Deck) drops all the way down to zero, you're in for a rather rude awakening. WHY VALVE WHY!?

- Yes, there is a fan inside.

- Since Valve got the memo that noone makes good consumer-spec thumbsticks anymore and drift is here to stay, they actually made the sticks easier to replace. Oh, they can also sense if your finger is over them or not.

- Valve tells that you should not crack open your console, ever, or it will weaken its drop resistance. Nice try, folks.

OT: I hate that iFixit has now pretty much switched to video format for teardowns. I guess kids these days are too dumb to read words with pretty static pictures. Sorry people, but I'm NOT watching a goddamned video!!!

I don't know if it works with Palemoon, but I use https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect for staying on Old Reddit. It redirectsReddit URL's on pages to point to the old.reddit.com domain.


That addon ill not work on non-XUL browsers, sadly.

And I prefer Redirector anyway as it works on sites other than Reddit - if you can come up with a proper redirect rule (involving wildcards or even regexps), it's pretty much site agnostic.

If anyone needs/wants my SM-modded addons, request here and I'll drop a link.

In other news... there was indeed a regression: SM picked this Mozilla patch for some CSS feature (ironically, to "match Chrome's behavior"), which breaks GiggityHub's user menu on releases after 2.53.9 with JustOff's addon - this is likely to get reverted and fixed for .12 (or maybe even a .11 point release - too late for .11.0 as it's already building for release!)

...oh, and testing revealed more unimplemented JavaScript crap, which thankfully was an easy backport for the team this time!

I've only included those old FF-specific addons that required mods to be compatible with SeaMonkey at all (Flashblock, Redirector), or SM-specific addons to fix compatibility with recent SM releases due to deprecations and stuff (Sea Fox, MonkeyFix). Dunno if Old Default Image Style required mods, but hey, a backup is always good.

So I actually did get compa.moe running again, and was using SeaMonkey Composer... I noticed that it was adding the following invalid HTML attribute to anchor tags: moz-do-not-send="true"

This a bug or something else?


Wow, people out there still use Composer :D

Anyway, I tried looking for the moz-do-not-send attribute, and all I can find is references to Thunderbird:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56827235/what-does-moz-do-not-send-do
Posted by "A Stackoverflow"
The moz-do-not-send attribute is a signal used internally by Thunderbird to tell it not to include the full image file contents, but instead to simply link to the external image. It's a proprietary attribute used internally by Mozilla-derived software; it has never been part of any HTML specification.


I could reply it here but I'm not sure if it is a bug or something else, but in any case this looks odd as we're not on Thunderbird/Mail&News...

From Team SeaMonkey:

[16:01] tomman Got a message from someone that actually uses Composer
[16:01] tomman why does the (proprietary) moz-do-not-send attribute get set for HTML links (the <a> tag) on Composer?
[16:02] tomman I try to search for the meaning for that attribute, and all I can find are references to Thunderbird
[16:06] tomman https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=596797#c8 also, this
[17:19] frg_Away tomman composer uses the standard Gecko editor parts and mail compose code. Comes as excess baggage. Coudl probably be patched out if someone still understands the code 😊


So... it's a quirk of Gecko editor which is mainly used these days for email. Will only impact you if you want 100% Valid HTML™, but you can always edit your HTML manually to strip off that useless attribute. Not going to be fixed unless someone brings an archeologist.

Speaking of serial UX offenders: a bunch of GNOMEs believe noone needs subpixel rendering anymore because They Say So:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/3393

In particular the excuses given by this snowflake are downright stupid, and can be condensed down to this pile of manure:

- "Everybody is buying UHD displays these days"
- "Google/Apple stopped doing it, so we should do so too"
- "Control panels and preferences are harmful for users"


I'm glad I am not a GNOME user, but sadly all this assbackwardery also hits GTK4, so...

Well, I can't live without subpixel aliasing - it's the first thing I setup on any new PC that doesn't ship with that enabled out of the box, and thankfully modern, non-braindamaged Linux DEs allow some degree of tweaking over it.

What we need is to empower the user to do whatever the fuck he/she/it wants, AND RESPECT HIS/HER/ITS FUCKING ORDERS, not to convince that Apple/Google is always right and the user is dumb. If you don't want subpixel AA but your computer insists into reenabling it out of the blue, something is really wrong with UX. Same as any developer insisting that nobody needs $FEATURE and everybody inside their bubble is buying $2000+ in new computer gear every year.

My computer, my rules. Let me have my cake AND eat it.

FUUUUUUCK YOU VERY MUCH, DANBOORU!
https://danbooru.donmai.us/forum_posts/206763

Fucking awesome, the only site in the entire Internet that I actually care these days just shat a smelly JavaShit on our non-Chromeist™ browsers: not only me, but also folks on "can't believe you're still using a 2015 iShiny" iOS users! All in a few hours. Everything is broken - from autocompletion on searches to being able to edit forum posts to actually post lewd drawings images to reading soft translations (which is single-handily the absolute best feature of Danbooru). There is limited interactivity that you would get by disabling JavaScript, but most of those nice perks are gone unless you use the one and only browser certified for ero drawings cute fairy mangas high quality Japanesey art: Chrome. Or its follow-the-leader slave, latest Firefuxed.

This "bad method definition" bullshit is not unique to Danbooru - apparently it's yet another fine Chromeism™ that should not work according to the standard, but since Google imposes the standards these days a-la Put-it-in/Xinnie, well, we're fucked. I found about this from the competition which shares the same pains: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=27913

Relevant commit notes

js: fix Javascript failures in Seamonkey/Palemoon.

Fix site Javascript failing to load in Seamonkey, Palemoon, and other
older browsers.

The @alpinejs/morph library uses public instance fields, which is ES2022
syntax not supported in older browsers. This is the code:

var DomManager = class {
el = void 0; // `el` is a public instance field
}
// => SyntaxError: bad method definition

The fix here is to separate the Alpine code into a separate bundle so
that a failure to load it doesn't cause the rest of the site's
Javascript to fail to load.

A better fix would be to either transpile the @alpinejs/morph library to
ES5 (which seems difficult to do in webpacker), or to fix the library
upstream to not use this syntax.

Yeeeeeeeah, nope. Not happening anytime soon on our "non-mainstream" (BUT NOT OLDER EITHER!) browsers.

At least sanity got restored, instead of the usual CLOSED WORKSFORME WONTFIX USECHROME crapola, and I'll be thankful for that, just like that time with SteamDB.

I still insist that "modern" JS should be considered a very severe war crime, but we all know that the UN and friends are beyond useless these days :/

In any case, we'll be getting more of this shit all around the web, there is no going back, and I prefer to go permanently offline and drop off as an active society member rather than switching back to braindamaged Firefox. Expect more ranting and angry bug reports in the future, as Google destroys whatever sanity is still left on webdev!


---

In more positive news from the NOT OLD browser league, SeaMonkey 2.53.11 is now shipping, yay~!
(The release builds are now live, but the site is not yet updated - gotta wait for ewong to do his magic there)

The Japanese Internet surely its a product of its time, and I guess that for a native, all that clutter is actually an advantage, as Japanese (and Chinese) are languages whose pictographic character sets give them an unique advantage that our Latin-based alphabets can't (doesn't meant the West hasn't been trying... but we got the emoji disease instead!). On the flip side, Japan sees pointless whitespace as a bug, not a feature~

And even then, that doesn't mean that Japan is Modern Webshit™-free, as the Chromeisms are silently infecting the land of the rising sun, slowly but steady:

- Pixiv has become a glorified SPA: bloaty, slow, and unusable without JavaScript
- Fanbox goes even further, and completely breaks without Google WebComponents®
- I've even seen doujin-related sites following this horrible trend of adopting the latest Chromeisms: for example, as of the 2021 edition, you couldn't vote anymore on the Touhou Popularity Contests if you weren't using Holy Chrome or latest Firefucked (again: Google WebComponents®)
