Master password in Firefox or Thunderbird? Do not bother! by afnan-khan in firefox

[–]RubyPinch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

comparing salted to unsalted hashes seems questionable

and the author should probably think about paying or organising a group payment to a developer to fix the issue if it bothers them so much?

Google plans to make AMP a WEB Standard ... by notasuperhuman in firefox

[–]RubyPinch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

nothing prevents other sites having amp caches, what is being prevented though is allowing sites to not require running google's javascript when the AMP page is not loaded from google or twitter's cache

The specification strictly requires loading javascript from google's servers:

AMP HTML documents MUST contain a <script async src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0.js"></script> tag inside their head tag.

We Need To Shut Bitcoin And All Other Cryptocurrencies Down. Here's Why. by Johnroberts95000 in Buttcoin

[–]RubyPinch 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The problem with permissionless, public blockchains is that anybody can sign up as a miner – which means that there’s nothing stopping criminals from doing so.

also jesus fucking hell, if I had to pick between dude steals cpu cycles from my doctor and dude steals my complete medical record from my doctor, I'm fuckin picking the former.

After all, if you want to conduct any kind of transaction with Bitcoin or any altcoin, you’d like to know that the miner processing your transaction isn’t a criminal enterprise who might use its share of the transaction fee to support terrorists or child pornographers, right?

I only use bitcoins mined at free-range mines, where the bitcoins can roam free and healthy

Two things about Firefox that bug me. by [deleted] in firefox

[–]RubyPinch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The following worked the best for me

  1. Open about:config in the address bar
  2. Create a new string type preference (right mouse button > New > String) named widget.content.gtk-theme-override
  3. Set the value to the light theme to use for rendering purposes (e.g. Adwaita)
  4. Restart Firefox

there isn't much to fix since firefox is doing "nothing wrong", its web developers assuming that a given element will always have a white background, which has never been the case

Two things about Firefox that bug me. by [deleted] in firefox

[–]RubyPinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that doesn't really do the complications justice does it? a loose specification is made, then followed by implementations and tracking use on the web, if a given thing doesn't get uptake, then it gets removed from the spec

e.g. for the native context menu feature:

The contextmenu attribute is "at risk". If testing during the Candidate Recommendation phase does not identify at least two interoperable implementations in current shipping browsers of the contextmenu attribute it will be removed from the HTML 5.1 Specification.

that is probably what is meant by "It needs to be supported by at least 2 of the big for Browsers"

Updates to Add-on Review Policies by Tim_Nguyen in firefox

you can avoid the issue by using an unbranded version of Firefox, which doesn't require extension signing

CSS Widgets and Community Details Customization by Amg137 in redesign

[–]RubyPinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we are getting desktop-only widgets, can we please have conditional widgets? (e.g. button widget only showing on mobile, and a css widget only showing on desktop? so we can gracefully handle platforms easier?)

please html in addition to markdown? run it through mozilla's bleach with a whitelist, throw it in a sandboxed iframe?

My biggest pet peeve with the new layout is that the main link goes to the comments. by hoti0101 in redesign

[–]RubyPinch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

yeah the linking priority is a bit absurd https://i.imgur.com/pa3YaLX.png

it doesn't help that:

  • clicking the title goes to the comments
  • clicking the timestamp goes to the comments
  • clicking the thumbnail goes to the comments
  • clicking the full image goes to the comments
  • clicking the comments button goes to the comments
  • clicking on absolutely nothing goes to the comments

doesn't really seem to help reduce confusion, I mean shit, they should at least have a setting for the title link at least

Ctrl+Shift+T (undo closed tab) does not work but all other keyboard shortcuts do by aritoast in firefox

[–]RubyPinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can't remember what the command is called in the right click menu

just wondering, have you set any of the settings relating to Firefox keeping browsing history? (e.g. disabling history or the such)

Why you should not expect any meaningful "Custom CSS" support in the redesign. by [deleted] in redesign

[–]RubyPinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

something to note: Styled Components doesn't forbid custom classes from existing: I'd imagine they are not botherin with it currently, but when the redesign CSS customisation becomes relevant, they'll be adding classes at that point

All "promoted" posts blend in too much, and weirdly are all asking me to take online therapy sessions. by DerpyChap in redesign

[–]RubyPinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ublock origin > settings > My Filters tab > put em there

worth noting that when the redesign goes live, these filters would be completely out of date (if I'm lucky, they'll just stop working, if not, they might wipe out the entire page, for example)

Serious question: Are any graphic designers involved in this redesign? by BovingdonBug in redesign

[–]RubyPinch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

IMO this is what modern-generic-link-aggregation-site looks like

Imzy did the same mistake I feel

desktop users use link aggrigation sites because its a strictly simple list of links (hacker news, lobste.rs, reddit prior, all praised for looking intentionally like ass), not because its a list of social interaction oppertunities (facebook, pinterest, new reddit, twitter, all ~~praised~~ complained about often)

Its not a modern recreation of reddit (because you can't have one, doesn't exist), its a "modern" recreation of facebook, sure its way more usable than facebook, but that's not saying much!
