Just installed Krita 4.0 on my Surface 4 Pro. Like many other software ported to Windows, it can't handle hidpi screens well, all the UI becomes so tiny that the program is not really useful. Anyone has tips for running Krita on hidpi

There is also Pleroma which has a quite similar feature set and can federate with mastodon instances. It is built on top of elixir and phoenix: https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma I follow a bunch of people on p

Can't talk about Tizen as I've never played with that but I was quite involved with webOS and Firefox OS. Firefox OS was quite different from webOS, in webOS you had an application layer based on Web technologies and you could als

I have been a remote worker for more than 10 years and I love coffee shops. Here in Brazil, coffee is a big part of our culture, so much that we don't even think about it very much as it is a part of our lives since we're young (n

oh! I was not aware of that bug! thanks a lot for pointing it to me, I will add myself to the CC list there and join the talk.

I have been using patchwork[1] as my main social network client for scuttlebutt. In my current experience, the fact that messages are not removable makes me more careful when writing and has led to much better and more meaningful interactio

You have the source code and can create a build that works like that. The current way it works, which is with a whitelist, makes it a lot harder for some malware to exist and hijack a protocol and this is, in my opinion, a good thing. Remem

Thanks a lot for the kind words! :-) talking about safety and integrity, have you seen how Scuttlebutt works? Check the secret handshake part of: https://ssbc.github.io/scuttlebutt-protocol-guide/#handshake In essence,

When you navigate to a custom protocol URL there is a popup asking how to handle it, it will show all the add-ons in a list (and maybe native apps too). You can select you're chosen one and tell it "not to ask again".

They made that before that protocol was on the whitelist, now they could ship a native app that has a webextension bundled with it to handle all of it without using that redirect.

by soapdog 9y ago
You can make your own but it will need a prefix like "web+catgifs:" or "ext+catgifs:" depending on how the custom url is handled (redirect vs webextension), to be able to use custom urls without the prefix, you need to b

Hi, I did just like you said using Native Messaging API[1] to communicate with a local companion app using standard input/output shell calls, this app can handle the socket communication, that is how I am handling it for the scuttlebut

Hey! I made that patch! :-D so basically the explanation is simple. There is a whitelist of protocols you can have your WebExtension take over. If the protocol you want to control is not on that whitelist such as an hypothetical "catgi

omg! Only after reading your comment that I could make it sound like the Portuguese I know: "Ele tá toda hora buscando sarna para se coçar", wow... thats some crazy phonetical spelling going on there.

Thats exactly what I thought. Newton Soups and NewtonScript were both awesome. I miss that kind of system these days, it still amazes me how it was all integrated.

That was the feature I liked the most from my Objective-C days in the early versions of Mac OS X, it felt a bit like SmallTalk even if it was just named parameters and messages.

If you're not married to the idea of D&D you can check other systems that are more focused on a "pick up and play" style such as "Fate Accelerated" from Evil Hat.

That is FUD and also a lie. You can still distribute your extensions on whatever site you want, you just need to sign them on AMO. The workflow is: 1 - Build webextension 2 - Upload to AMO 3 - Choose "distribute on AMO" or "s
