yup, a simple rename should work then
-
tomman
and all is zen again
-
tomman
nsIPrefBranchInternal is now gone forever, but it's OK since we were supposed to be using nsIPrefBranch anyway
-
tomman
yeeesh, Flashblock continues decaying
-
tomman
it fails to block videos (again), and its context menu options now appear even on plain images
-
tomman
> Components.classes["@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPrefBranch).QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsIPrefBranchInternal)
-
tomman
oh, this again
-
tomman
also, found a broken callback function parameter on the prefs dialog
-
tomman
I really need something that can block videos _and only videos_, but Flashblock is bitrotting so fast...

bug 1388317 and
bug 1083458 are on my short list and might break old extensions. I disabled the E4X for each today to check via
Bug 1083470. and then later
Bug 1388317. With these two in should become more or less stable again. Most of the really obsolete syntax is out then. There are still legacy setters/getters and some shorthand function systax which I hope I/we can keep.
-
tomman
nsIPrefBranchInternal is basically the same thing as its parent nsIPrefBranch nowadays, right?
-
frg_Away
yes
-
tomman
huh, another crash out of the blue
-

is FlashGot broken in wg9s builds?

haven't had time to update of late, & last build was from 4-20-2023 (where there were no issues with FlashGot)

therube if you run the rc1 build todays removal should not affect it: Removed any "for each()" usage for Nightly

heh. i'd download it, but i can use FlashGot ;-)
-
frg_Away
therube this needs to be changed in flashgotService,js: return this.prefs = this.prefService.getBranch("flashgot.").QueryInterface(CI.nsIPrefBranchInternal);
-
therube
nope, that's not working either.
-
frg_Away
CI.nsIPrefBranch
-
therube
frg_away: OK, that worked. thank you.

CaptainTobin
hey frg_Away

CapTainTobin hi

CaptainTobin
after I finish coding up my two php software stuffs well the two main ones I plan to modify the source and generic-ize it for anyone to use and then re-customize it for my needs.. Basically, I want to give everyone the tools to create a project at LEAST as successful as UXP ones had been. Would any of it be useful? The two things are post, docs, page git controlled content and the other has the everything for xul (or non-xul)
-
CaptainTobin
projects.. including add-ons site functionality etc..
-
CaptainTobin
I was planning to primarily parse markdown but also and of course it would be capable of the crappy phoebusCode and the not-html seleneCode bbcode-like crap I created before.. plus regular html content or smarty enhanced content.
-
CaptainTobin
if my 2017 era phoebus code can run as inefficiently as it did at PM scale then my much more efficient currentday php should be just fine for yours and my scales
-
CaptainTobin
are there any specific features you rely on website wise that might make you consider it or just would just be something I haven't thought of yet because I haven't been running a xul project for 15 years
-
frg_Away
We are short on doc and add-ons but as usual even shorter on people actually doing it. So don't think any immediate need.
-
CaptainTobin
right but the only space you have for documentation is the old whatever it is that generates the site and theoretically maybe the mozilla wiki lol i doubt seamonkey is very welcome on mdn anymore
-
CaptainTobin
also was my info on this project's status THAT much out of date
-
CaptainTobin
looks like you guys actually might OWN your own trademarks
-
CaptainTobin
and that happened in 2013?
-
CaptainTobin
well good
-
CaptainTobin
one should own ones own trademarks
-
frg_Away
yes owned by the e.V but much later. Already joined then. I think around 2016 or 2018
-
CaptainTobin
i am glad
-
CaptainTobin
i thought Mozilla still had em
-
frg_Away
Mozilla transfered them.
-
CaptainTobin
who owns the Gecko trademark is it still verizon or did they transfer it to mozilla
-
CaptainTobin
i know it was merely licensed due to netscape
-
frg_Away
I have no clue
-
CaptainTobin
xul is still a trademark tho unregistered that mozilla is claiming
-
CaptainTobin
it's too bad Mozilla didn't formalize and release xul to the community as a mozilla standard just before they merged it with html.. with full current as of 56 documentation.
-
frg_Away
not much of it left
-
CaptainTobin
realityripple has a partial mirror with a uxp bent up
-
CaptainTobin
i have a repo of all the removed documentation from mdn one day it will show up on thereisonlyxul.org starting in reference archive form then active documentation form
-
CaptainTobin
it is WHY i registered the domain aside from shilling our own products
-
CaptainTobin
lol
-
CaptainTobin
well now ALL our products
-
CaptainTobin
if they have xul lol
-
CaptainTobin
even if i hate them
-
CaptainTobin
pfft hate.. man there was a lot of hate in that 100 pounds of angry fat I lost since last year
-
CaptainTobin
Angry fat.
-
frg_Away
I don't hate them. Mostly lost respect and they are digging their own grave but that is it. In the end just software / code
-
CaptainTobin
I am still extremely doubious of your selective rustification
-
CaptainTobin
but hey.. everyone seems to think mozscape technology especially xul is doubious so what the fuck do I know.. I know one thing tho.. BinOC is the solution for a failed Paradigm and ALWAYS was.
-
CaptainTobin
heh I should integrate the php weave components into the projects site software
-
CaptainTobin
may as well it is gonna have accounts, be sql backed, etc
-
frg_Away
They should kick rust and put full xul back in but as long as it is backend stuff and no people around capable of replacing and maintaining it I can live with it.
-
frg_Away
Will be fun to see where rust is in 10 years. My hunch is the next generation will not understand the current crappy overhyped undocumented code and replace it again.
-
frg_Away
Or AI has taken over and we don't need to worry any longer :)
-
tomman
"C touched me in a no-no place, then Rust! All! The! Things"
-
tomman
or yeah, AI will doom us all
-
tomman
hello Skynet~
-
CaptainTobin
some variation of Borg/Cybermen is more likely as resistance increases
-
CaptainTobin
tomman:
-
CaptainTobin
skynet is unlikely
-
CaptainTobin
shodan though
