From a security standpoint these things are a nightmare (the entrypoint to 3ds firmware modding is a browser exploit lol) but the browser nerd in me loves seeing a functional webview on game consoles, kitchen appliances, etc well knowing it's probably based on a modified webkit from 10 years ago (maybe we'll see servo on those devices at some point!)

exhibit a: @domi's web page rendering perfectly on the 3ds \o/

Departing from Hamburg after four wonderful days at #37c3. First congress for me, and I had a blast! :blahaj:

hey @MastodonDE, kurze Frage - ist die User-Anzahl von https://mastodon.de/api/v1/instance/ korrekt? Ich hatte irgendwie das Gefühl, dass es mehr sind :)

code warnings should not exist, if it's bad enough to complain about it shouldn't compile

rustc didn't learn this lesson from c compilers, apparently

More progress on Intl today, implemented most of the Locale object after a bit of prep work in icu4zig :)

My Firefox has stopped to show notifications as native GNOME ones, now they appear as these moveable windows - is this happening for anyone else? alerts.useSystemBackend is set to true, 119.0 installed from nixpkgs unstable. I've never seen this kind of window before.

I think I might write a kiesel backend outputting bytecode compatible with @hanna's hyper 1 once it's far enough, at least for basic stuff like math expressions - seems like a fun experiment & gives me a good reason to refactor codegen to be more flexible :D

needed to run windows for $REASONS and the quickest way was launching an EC2 instance and RDPing into it :thisisfine:

other methods I tried that were unsuccessful:

• libvirt with TPM/secure boot config
• a bare metal install

What's the current ability of screen readers interpreting ASCII emotes? I think many people prefer those over emoji faces but having them read out as "colon closing parenthesis" or "caret underscore caret" doesn't seem ideal and would make me reconsider using them as much as I currently do

Where do I opt out of this timeline

Probably losing my citizenship for saying this but driving on the Autobahn isn't actually fun, just stressful
How do people enjoy this??

judging from license texts on the about screen on this thing 2023 is the year of linux on the kitchen machine

Please recommend me a #Peertube instance that has registrations enabled, isn't country-specific, and unlikely to shut down in the next year or two (for uploads, not primarily as a viewer)

I tried to sign up at tchncs.de but my account is not being approved (or rejected for that matter) 😕

neglected my desktop for a while and now it's refusing to upgrade from Fedora 36 to either 37 or 38 (failing on some dnf resolution nonsense) :thisisfine:

took me almost a year of being on fedi to receive my first spam bot DM, cool

vagueposting definitely is one of the more annoying things I see on here, please bonk me if I ever do that uncw'd

Signed up for a race that happens to fall on my birthday in October :yayblob: #running

Following the whole libwebp vulnerability I'm a little perplexed that seemingly everyone is doing in-process image decoding?! In SerenityOS there's a system service called ImageDecoder, and its entire purpose is... decoding everyone's images. Data in, bitmap out. Only pledges stdio and recvfd/sendfd, so whatever exploit you have is probably useless. Trying to do anything forbidden, process gets killed by the kernel and restarted by SystemServer.

Surely this isn't a novel concept we invented?

if someone reading this happens to have Apple Music on an iPhone without rounded screen corners installed, I'd be curious to know if they apply fake rounded corners like on Android 🤔

The same screenshot but with the app being dragged into the app switcher, revealing that the screen actually has squared corners and the rounding is part of the app

this new browser could have been a web extension
