that works, thanks. (although I will say that I would still really want this feature in higan because my god, retroarch has an awful interface)

While I can browse the site with Firefox, my RSS reader (https://www.newsblur.com/) can no longer fetch the feed.

It turns out I can't fetch the page with curl, either:

$ curl -v https://helmet.kafuka.org/bboard/

The SSL Server Test reports that the webserver doesn't support anything newer than TLS 1.0, which apparently is a Bad Thing™ and might explain why NewsBlur is having issues.

Done. I'm posting this on an unsafe connection, in fact.

Hopefully I'm doing this right, the CONTRIBUTING.md on the gitlab repo said this was the place for higan feature suggestions.

My suggestion is some sort of mode that allows you to cap the maximum speed of the emulated game at a percentage less than 100%, or even just a half speed button, it doesn't even need to be extremely configurable. The reason being that I'm bad at games, and old games are hard, so sometimes slowing things down a little can be a nice thing to get past hard sections.

Thanks for all the hard work, higan is pretty dope

We're going backwards in airplane technology. Nobody wants to work with it now. It's intended to disappear, to get taxed to hell and get replaced by trains or whatever because of the emissions or something like that. There's no way anyone would want to touch a modern Concorde with a ten-foot pole, even if it were profitable. The goal is to decrease plane travel, so any innovation in the field that makes it more pleasant would be fought with tooth and nail, perhaps even outlawed.

Now, civilian aviation, THAT was intentionally ended. The then-new FAA, charged with striking a balance between commercial and civilian aviation interests, decided that civilian interests were in the way of commercial interests and erected a series of regulations that were intended to force civilians to the ground.

sorry,but...do you have source on that? Not regarding the fact that many airlines are struggling right now,as this is no secret,but that civilian aviation was somehow deliberately crippled.

Also can you explain what you mean by "commercial and civilian aviation"?Civil aviation is normally defined as any non-military flight.That would include private, commercial, cargo and such So I'm not sure what you mean when you differentiate those two...

oh god, this is a Wix website: Took 4 seconds to load on Firefox, hijacked my browser back history (had to press alt+left 2-5 times, and Wix has 2 identical history entries), and doesn't load without JS enabled.

All wix sites won't load because of visibility:hidden bullshit, but Firefox Reader manages to extract text from that page. (Disabling CSS via umatrix works too.)

Kaguya wants to be confessed to: The genius's war of love and brains continues to be the best thing ever.

Started watching and thoroughly enjoyed it. Wife wasn't too happy though when we had to stop at ep5 at the time, so we decided to hold off until the entire cour is done before we continue :P

And yes, I believe we may found the way to world peace :D

- Watched Battle Angel Alita - OVA and the new movie. Enjoyable, but you can tell they left out a ton of stuff.

Haven't seen the movie yet but would really like to. I do have some apprehension though after my experience with Ghost in the Shell; hopefully it's not just all eye candy, but rather actually true to the source material (within reason).

-1 and 0 are *very* different.
-1 makes Firefox specifically enables GDI-style "sharp and colorful" antialiasing for several older Microsoft fonts. (search cleartype to see which fonts)
0 lets DirectWrite decide how to render text (I think it chooses between 4 and 5 based on font size).

Also changing the order of gfx.content.azure.backends (requires browser restart) will change how the cleartype settings are interpreted, in confusing ways. (Replace content with canvas to change how canvas is rendered.) (I think cairo is slow, especially for pdf.js.)

> It should be trivial to patch Firefox to take extensions in dll/so format that interact with the internal API.

Anti-virus tools do this kind of thing all the time, and it's something like the #1 cause of Firefox crashes and security holes.
