A loading screen and telemetry? For a fucking calculator ? What happened to software...

Any idea when rustls will hit 1.0? I feel a little unsafe using a <1.0 library because (assuming it's following SemVer) as it might not be "done"/production ready and the API might change a lot before it hits 1.0.

You're right there's a lot of tools out there to help with writing secure code in C. I suppose I feel safer knowing Rust enforces some memory safey, but that isn't guaranteed either -- you could just use unsafe{} blocks every

Doesn't DDG do the same thing? DDG will show a snippet from Wikipedia, has a built in calculator, built in timer, and so on... Sure, Google also has a flight tracker widget, but it's not that much worse than DDG. If you really wan

Could I make a suggestion? It'd be great if it were possible to white-blacklist all web features? We can do this for some features like location, but I can't selectively turn off images, JavaScript, or web fonts (only globally). I

The only thing that comes to mind is having most websites be sites and not apps . Most sites don't need custom fonts, JavaScript, and CSS. If Firefox & Chrome had support for something lightweight like Gemini ( https:/&#x2F

So far that hasn't really come up. How often do you need to check your calendar outside? Maybe I don't need to very much because I work from home. Here's some possible scenarios though: * If I need to remember when something

Sure. I use the colors peachpuff+red and green+lightgreen when I need to show a success or error/warning box. Like so: .notice { padding: 1em; border: 1px solid black; margin-bottom: 1em; } .notice

How reliable are they going to be? I have heard RAM isn't as reliable as it used to be due to the ridiculous densities we've gotten them to. Same for HDDs. At what point do we stop because reliability has gotten unacceptably low?

I don't understand the root cause... Did nobody at Fiserv know about example.com or the .invalid TLD? I see this sort of thing ALL the time - documentation referring to completely made up domains like "newcustomer.com", and i

Nothing, so long as you're okay with telemetry, bundled junk like pocket, and the removal of the compact UI (see the thread from yesterday - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26464533 ). Firefox's internals are

Why not use a Firefox fork like Waterfox? That fixes a number of the complaints people have with Firefox while not pushing us towards a browser engine monopoly - which you do by using a Chromium based browser. Besides, the Basic Attention T

>The Engineering team is well aware of the community feedback. Does that mean Mozilla is aware how unpopular this is, but are going to go ahead nevertheless? Is there even a single person who wants this feature to be removed?

by ancarda 6y ago
For fuck sake really? Is it making Firefox hard to maintain or something? I have a small screen (1280 x 800) - I need things like compact density to make the screen more usable.

Watching that progress bar was physically painful. I'd rather not use software that lies to me.

Why use a spinner for downloading? Don't you know how many bytes you need to fetch and how many you have received so far? wget has a progress bar, and it works perfectly fine. EDIT: Though, if the server does not have a Content-Length

This is one reason why I prefer command line programs and websites like SourceHut and HackerNews over GitHub and Reddit. Also, why I disable or reduce as many animations as I can in graphical software I use. Everything is just too slow -- a
