Cool! I hadn’t seen that checkbox, it must mean they intend to maintain it at least until it becomes too difficult. Back to slightly less round buttons it is, then.

Don’t expect that to last, such settings are traditionally temporary. Mozilla normally removes them a relatively short time after the big new feature is released and any related bugs have had time to get sorted out.

I’m pretty sure librewolf doesn’t touch stuff like that.

But idk — my setup has so much custom css that the only rounded corners I notice are at the bottom of the urlbar autocomplete dropdown, where they don’t bother me. My tabs are still nice and square and below the url.

I’m willing to give it a try at least once if I get to haggle with the cashierbot over the price of my cheeseburger.

Good luck! It went surprisingly well for me, still a happy CustomCSSForFX user despite it not getting updates any more. All I noticed was rounder corners on toolbar buttons (I don’t care), and one or two extra pixels of wasted vertical space beneath the url bar. The tabs and everything else seem unaffected.

It’s tempting to imagine that this might mean Mozilla have started to care about those of us with custom CSS when they do UI redesigns, and done it in a less disruptive way. Or maybe I was just lucky this time.

Edit: Somehow in my initial test of the new version I failed to notice that the autocomplete results in the urlbar were messed up pretty badly. The css I had to reduce the font size and hide all the other bullshit that would be in there was still working but the formatting was bad. For one thing there was a ridiculous amount of space between each item. Only took me half an hour of fiddling with css to get it back to reasonable. Not too bad but I guess it’s still a hard life being a Firefox (or Librewolf) user if you don’t enjoy css hacking. I mention it to avoid anyone seeing this in future thinking that it means CustomCSSForFX is still trouble-free despite being discontinued. It’s not, as of this latest version for my config. It used to be the easiest and best way to give Firefox a truly customizable UI.

Quebec’s park management agency, the Société des établissements de plein air du Québec, operates its own system

Is Québec really the only government in Canada that made the right choice? Maybe they should offer to run things for Parks Canada too, if the federal government has fallen so far into neoliberal neglect that it’s incapable of doing it on their own.

I suppose you’d be buying some kind of generated token that doesn’t correspond to your account ID in any way, then doing some fancy math to prove to the Signal servers that you have such a token without revealing which one it is, while at the same time preventing the same token being used more than once. Given that there’s no need to tie it to any real-world attributes of the user (i.e. this is not like “age verification”) it seems like this should be possible, but I’m curious about the details.

Can someone (such as Signal itself) please explain how the “anonymous” payment is supposed to work? Concisely but in sufficient detail to understand the principle I mean, without just saying “zero knowledge” and doing a bunch of hand waving when you get to the complicated part.

Seems like a promising strategy. If we really must spend money on the military, there aren’t many better ways to do it than by getting good at drones. Our government may not have too many good ideas of its own, but at least they’re able to recognize one when it comes from Zelenskyy.

Well that’s a couple days old I guess. It’s since been confirmed that they do plan to sell off some airports. No doubt it will suck for users of Canadian airports. I hate airports, so kind of have mixed feelings on this one.

Given that we don’t know exactly what they’re building, how it will be financed, or who will own it, I guess we’re all free to imagine that it will involve something other than just giving lots of money to the Canadian telecom cartel.

And three years ago, after the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission said it would require some large telecom companies to share access to their fibre networks with competitors …

Three years! How much progress have they made since then in restoring competition to the market for home Internet service? Any at all? At a glance it looks like the rate for TPIA is still prohibitively high, leading to retail prices from Teksavvy — the only independent ISP I know of which still exists — which are roughly double what I’m currently paying through Bell’s flanker brand. It’s looking like the promised repair of the once-great system will never happen. Not under a Liberal government, anyway. It will continue to be left to rot. Go on Carney, prove me wrong.

If KDE starts expressing feelings of love for its users, what else could it do? Might it get envious of Vim if its user spends too much time just editing text? Will it get into a fight with the web browser over memory resources? If it feels like its love is unrequited will it pin forlorn pieces of melancholic poetry to the task bar? If it’s a multi-user system will it like some of its users better than others? Will the window manager get dissatisfied with its repetitive job and decide that it wants to try a new career as a compiler? The possibilities are endless in the glorious AI future.

In my feed people who post stuff every hour get blocked or unfollowed, unless it’s really good stuff.

Actually, it’s a “trade special operation.”

I expect reddit will roll it out slowly and stop if they’re losing too many users. If they actually follow through and impose age “verification” on everyone it’ll be a bigger exodus than anything seen before — so they probably won’t.

By “vertical” I suppose they mean that the portrait is sideways.

You’d think that “no AI” would be an easy feature to implement, and it’s much in demand. Strange that it seems to be beyond the abilities of so many software developers.

They decided to take a vote on whether or not to “Ban LLM contributions” where the proposed policy wasn’t all that well thought out, and ended up settling on a subsequent proposal which was even worse, enshrining in official policy the standard that LLM contributions are just fine actually and don’t even need to be disclosed. The governance system, in this case, failed spectacularly. The contributors they will lose as a result of this are in my view likely to be more valuable ones than those they’d have lost had the vote gone the opposite way. It’s substantially worse than having done nothing at all. It does not inspire confidence in the future of Debian, and is enough to have many of us looking around to see what alternatives might exist.

They just recently did something bad.

Damn it I was just asking myself the same question. I don’t expect it to be easy to find one that’s anywhere near as good as Debian but without that one problem. I think a lot of them won’t have any firm policies yet.
