I’m thinking of creating a browser extension that correctly restores the scroll position when navigating back on YouTube’s website.

Finally managed to install Linux (Fedora) on the old laptop 🙌

So it turns out, Linux switched to overlay scrollbars (like macOS), but Chrome still uses classic scrollbars (like Windows). Firefox uses the system scrollbar, so it’s either overlay or classic depending on the OS. And the OS setting that controls this is called “Always show scrollbars”, just like on macOS (on = classic, off [default] = overlay).

From now on, whenever someone asks me “Why do you want to know that?”, I’ll just respond with “I like knowledge”.

Web Platform Folks: I swear I remember seeing, a LONG time ago, a spec for IndexedDB 2, that would add various features (better search) to IDB - but I guess nothing came of it? Anyone know more?

Tried to put Ubuntu ISO on a USB stick, but balenaEtcher errored out. Had to google the error, check the GitHub issue, and find out that the latest version without the error is 1.18.11 from last year. Now it seems to work. Yesterday I tried to install Lubuntu via stick, unsuccessfully. I got two different errors for two different Lubuntu versions. I don’t remember installing Linux being this hard.

tl;dw Most of the energy from fossil fuels is wasted. Energy from renewable sources is much more efficient. In the future, we won‘t need the same amount of energy that we need today.

In other words, if we consume an X amount of fossil fuel energy today, and we want to get rid of fossil fuels, we won’t need the same X amount of renewable energy to do that, but only a fraction of X.

No matter what the future holds for our human race on this Earth, one thing is certain. Google will never stop including GIFs in their blog posts. It‘s the one constant that we can rely on.

edit: I would not keep posting about this if I were not annoyed every time it happens. I want to pause the video. I would prefer a higher resolution and frame rate. We have the technology for this. Use it, Google.

Is <img loading=lazy> good enough for your websites, or do you still need to use a JavaScript lazy-loading library for advanced functionality, consistency, or other reasons?

Android 15 gives users the option to screen-record apps even when they’re in the background.

This could be useful for checking how a website behaves visually while it’s in the browser in the background. For example, if you want to confirm that animations are paused or that content updates are throttled.

Just saw a guy walk his dachshund, and he had to pick him up on the stairs to the underpass. The dog didn’t even try to use the ramp that was right next to the stairs.

Chromium is improving the CSS text-size-adjust property:

• text-size-adjust works with or without a meta viewport
• non-auto values disable ALL automatic text size adjustments
• percentages apply directly, without any heuristics
• layout bugs are fixed

youtube.com’s performance on mobile is very bad. It’s borderline unusable on my low-end Android phone. But don’t take my word for it. Just take a look at the CrUX numbers.

Does YouTube not realize that so many more people around the world would watch many more videos (and therefore ads) if performance was better? What’s wrong with them?
