With the Intel processors suddenly being hotter with a new kernel, I'd always have a look at the cpu frequency scaling. That's where stuff changed, and the new modules for that could simply work worse for older processors. Especia

That's definitely too defensive and that makes it a bit annoying. I'm sure the page would work very well with the html lazy loading, the images are small enough.

The extension really covers the functionality. That with a slightly nicer design and on by default, that is what is needed.

This would be more about making RSS visible for browser users than making Firefox a feedreader. There are many great readers. But the one thing where RSS really is worse off now than it was a decade ago is discoverability. That hurts the op

What would it take to get Firefox to support RSS again? With support I mean: 1. To detect RSS feeds and show an icon in the UI 2. Render RSS files, so they look better than raw text 3. Link that UI icon to a subscribe function: Show a confi

Since I'm just in this thread again anyway: If that was your experience with lazy loading images I can relate, and understand where the negative impression is coming from. That wordpress script is probably loading the image only when t

What usually happens there is that the sites do not work because the JS wasn't downloaded and interpreted yet. That happens more often when all the images are always downloaded when loading the page. Lazy loading of images is one metho

I'd assume this: In the same way as you can not forbid a human to learn concepts from your code, you can not forbid an automated system to learn concepts from your code, regardless the license. Also, if you would it would make your cod

Granted. Like I specified, I talked about broadband there. He preferred to wait all the time until images are loaded to start reading articles, with a flaky slow connection, or to try start reading while parts of the site still load? Especi

That goes against that specific implementation then, not against the concept, and not against how the feature should be implemented now. I was critical at first as well. But I tested it on the site I linked and on other sites with bigger im

If you implement lazy image loading yourself in JS you will see that the implementation actually makes a big difference in how noticeable it is. The browser does a good job with it. Of course your internet connection can limit you, but it j

I'm aware :) My HP Veer had a funny "feature" where after some inactivity it would reload the page when you then scrolled it. It depends though on the content page and on how slow the network is exactly, doesn't it? I of

You can not scroll faster than images load. You can maybe jump via the scrollbar faster to a page position than images load, but that's it. That's at least with the HTML5 async image standard in Firefox. It's up to the browse

Recently stumbled over a game that did that a bit differently. On the steam page there is only support for Windows listed. But it actually downloads a Linux version. That version worked just fine for me, but they say they can't support

I used brave search over the last week or so. It worked well for me, with less failed searches than on DDG, which sadly often does not work for me for more local queries. It did not feel unusable at all. Note that I already liked cliqz befo

Bit of HN-relevant context: Knights is a text-based mobile game with an interesting concept behind it. https://egamebook.com/ describes that a bit more, and there was at least one frontpage HN submission for a demo project

I have definitely seen that happen with the PHP blog engine that runs my blog, either with the GD image functions or with the imagemagick integration. Probably something like: Take an optimized image, like an indexed png, load it as raw ima

A Jitsi call is totally a proper conversation. You learn by working with developers more capable than you, by getting advice, and most of all by planning feature and solving bugs. None of this needs an office. The "not getting distract

That actually could have been a problem. If the bank had accepted the charge, the fee for that would have been high, as far as I read when closing the account. This way - by Amazon just getting a bounce - my annoyment was just about the unr

Valid question. I was switching bank accounts at that time, so it's possible the card was not expired but linked to an account that did not exist anymore. Might also have been the account itself and not the card that was listed (Lastsc

Amazon in Germany can also go very wrong. This is why I stopped ordering there: I ordered a bunch of small electronics stuff, about 100€. In the order process Amazon selected an expired credit card (which I'm sure I had replaced in the

That's impossible, to only buy genuine stuff there. Thanks to inventory mingling you get the fake products even for legitimate listings of genuine products. Germany has so many other good online shops that it's for most products r

The Android emulator when doing a screen recording can only select between .gif and .webm, at least on my system. So especially when working on an Android app I would expect that, yes.
