the latest Chromeism of the week: WebGPU™ news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35465729

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!?

hi!

i have a computer where the text in Seamonkey mails is greyed out, any idea what this is?

for me this looks like all is detected as signature but i didn't figure out where to change this

Flexman macOS?

yes

I think something crept in with the latest css tree updates there. Saw it myself but didn't have time yet to check.

ah ok. yes that sounds like an explanation.

ianN_Away is the guilty party if true :D

that means i'll wait for the next update.

haha :-D

meanwhile let's just blame IanN_Away

you need a fall guy now and then :D

frg_Away is the macOS css checker :P

We might do a 2.53.16.1

is that the IP address of my luggage? :D

Flexman do you see Bug 1826128

You won't find "he was a css expert" on my tombstone.

come to the dark side

we have flexboxes

and soon, a Turing-complete language!

can we have a js-ai api?

sure, it's Coming Soon™

actually, that's why webshats are excited over WebGPU, since it opens a big fat wide door to ML on your GPU

soon we will have websites that require dual RTX4090Ti's just to work!

well webGL is halfway stable so it was time to reinvent the wheel.

also WebGL was only aimed at videogames and fancy demo/portfolio pages

the real money is on WebGPU, which basically advertises full access to your GPU power

We need webcoin!

ironically this comes up when cryptomining on GPUs is getting out of fashion

I am kind of wondering why there aren't binaries of seamonkey available for anything other than x86. I am going to try compiling for RISC-V in the near future, and I will document the process for others wishing for some pain and agony.

xuochi well it is a niche of a niche. I am putting needed stuff in when I find it but mostly untested. Same for arm but this one should work.

ah, I thought antimalware software was actual malware anyway :D

Defender (formerly Security Essentials) has always been a CPU hog (especially in the last 5 years), like nearly AV software ever

it is still the best of the worst

it's not Avast, at least

this is the A/V i used last, archive.org/details/fprot_dos_316f

& oddly, though now i don't remember just what it meant, i had a note on a archived version of defender:

WindowsDefender_1593 (70 fprot slowdown on del).msi

I can remember how both Panda and Avast went from "install it and forget it" to "actual malware is LESS harmful!"

huh, a crash

GAH! It's a Discord widget that it's gone amok!

...yeah, now I get what happened

Danbooru is down for server issues, and their "we're down" page contains exactly the two widgets you can see here: danbooru.donmai.us

a Twitter widget, and... a fucking Discord widget that reloads over and over while causing my CPU to suffer in pain

my browser crashed for no reason, and when it restarted... all my ~25ish Danbooru tabs reloaded, to that "Danbooru is down" status page

...each of them loading the same two widgets

...including the abusive Discord widget!

took me a good while to copy URLs, and kill each tab

GAH DISCORD!

(about:performance was red red RED HOT RED)

CPU monitoring showed high CPU load on both cores, and RAM usage nearing ~4GB

...why kids love that abomination called "Discord" so hard!?

...guess it's time to add Discord to my adblocker lists, if only for safety

<iframe src="discordapp.com/widget?id=310432830138089472&theme=dark" width="350" height="500" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0"></iframe>

the source of this unpleasantness

adding discordapp.com to my DNS blacklists, NOW

ah, it's Danbooru that reloads the page every 10 seconds, causing both heavy widgets to reload, and the Discord one is a bloaty pig

Anyway, I'm not tripping this landmine anymore - just blocked Discord forever

yo guys

does anyone here use some kind of user css addon, like stylish/stylem etc

i have stylem but i just realized that at some point in the past it broke and now im unable to create new rules
