  • CSS scroll drive animation (standard), Cross document view transitions (standard), CSS corner shape, Multicol Level 2 (standard), some of the Filesystem Access API, WebGPU on linux, PWA manifest install (standard), took 3 years to ship documentPictureInPicture.

    half of these are animations. are you choosing your browser by what cool animations it supports?

    certain things are better unimplemented. like webusb and complete filesystem access, because they are too dangerous features to give to random websites by a single click. if a website wants to access arbitrary parts of my filesystem they should develop a downloadable app for that.

    webgpu and pwa support are indeed happening slowly. Unfortunately firefox does not have as much funds as our favorite advertising supergiant does, and they are just the same plagued by a CEO who can’t ever be fulfilled with enough of a paycheck. you will not fix that by switching to chrome.

    document picture in picture kind of sounds WTF, like the other feature allowing arbitrary HTML to he rendered onto a canvas. I feel it more with the latter, but sometimes I just feel google is intentionally making the web a standard too heavy to have competitors.

    Web standard are implemented first in chromium, then in firefox after years.

    I just addressed this in the previous sentence.

    Chromium based browser have strict multiprocess isolation. This is not true for firefox. If a tab crashes chrome it does not crash the entire browser. This is only partially true for firefox

    how is that only partially true on firefox? this is exactly the reason why it consumes so much memory when having lots of websites open.
    I do not remember the last time firefox crashed for me. must have been many years ago.

    Chromium is an objectively slightly better browser on paper than Firefox.

    only if you completely ignore a bunch of aspects of it. in reality, it has a few advantages and lots of disadvantages. oh, and its also the default for billions of people who have no clue why choose one over the other.



  • One example qould be monero crypto currency that is more private and more anonymous than cash.

    did they fix the small ring size already? it was a big topic last year. if they haven’t, then no its not more private than cash, because it has a public record of the transaction where the real sender is hiding between a dozen or two decoy senders. with cash there is nothing like that.

    I think Implementation of privacy would be comparable to cash transactions.

    exchange of non-electronic physical items will always be more private than trusting a blackbox machine (any computer) running whatever payment standard accepted in the local economic area. with a good standard that could be acceptable, but the point stands.

    About it being offline: If you have a transaction I signed with my private key for example over NFC you do not need it to be online at all. You can always prove I paid you.

    double spend prevention requires one party to be online.










  • Features removed

    USB protection — the low-level USB port controls rely on Pixel-specific hardware and are non-functional on other devices

    they don’t need to outright remove that. I know that at least some fairphone models are capable of that, because another ROM makes use of it. it seems it was more important to have a much broader compatibility quickly, without testing what features do really need to be removed for what devices. there are probably other removed features too where tbis applies

    but this is not all that graphene gives, I believe this does not make it worthless. they have other unique features too like sandboxed google play and the possibility to manage sensor access for apps separately, and more.




  • I mean… I don’t disagree but you’re arguing against somebody who is not here.

    I thought it was obvious. I was arguing with you, because it seemed you were sympathizing with the user that regularly deletes their post. I was arguing that the reasons given are not good reasons. also this is not a DM, others are reading it too. evidence is you got a downvote on this comment, and it was not me. and most people lurking rarely vote.

    a) Say they’re stupid and change nothing and continue to bitch about the problem or

    why, what can I change?

    apparently it was already fixed a year or two ago in a yet unreleased version of lemmy. so it seems a software change will not help in a reasonable amount of time.

    b) Understand why they’re doing what they do and try to address it.

    tried, and it makes not much sense to me. nobody is receiving live notifications from lemmy, or if they do, that’s because they use a niche client where they didn’t turn them off.

    but also… starting a discussion and then not wanting to participate, so dropping a bomb… that makes no sense.





  • Somebody may want an answer and once they get it don’t want the other replies to keep notifying them.

    • the first answer is often not the best one
    • don’t take away the discussion from others

    But it’s remarkable that all the lemmykins arguing with me and down-voting me simply can’t see things from another person’s pov.

    I’m sure we can see that point of view, we just refuse it because it’s such a mean pov
