Has anyone else had a problem accessing Facebook with 2.53.17beta1?
-
Swampogre
Nobody else wants to admit using Facebook?
-
Swampogre
17beta1 is the current development release, for those unaware
-
franstam
nah dun use such fake news spreader tools like fakebook sorry
-
Swampogre
You are mistaken about fake news. It's for spreading real news. Most fake news is spread by rightwing nuts and I'm not connected to any as far as I know.
-
Swampogre
Some of them still think Trump is president
-
MattATobin
your best bet is to put those services into the ghetto they are trying to put YOU in by restricting them to disgusting chromium or far more pervasive rusticles at mozco
-
MattATobin
hey if by some twist of bs trump is legally still president.. I am not sure many believe he should be obviously he couldn't get the job done AT ABSOLUTE BEST
-
MattATobin
eh franstam and Swampogre
-
MattATobin
and really with what seems to be coming no matter what happens.. does it really matter at this point?
-
Swampogre
What matters is that the browser work on presumably standard websites
-
Swampogre
14, 15 and 16 were ok, 17beta isn't
-
MattATobin
the worst weapon of politics is .. entrapment .. getting trapped in a web of political logic.. if there is such a thing leading to political strategy and it just seems win loose succeed fail the bs is happening regardless and so i have come to the conclusion that politics is bullshit and just one of many means to just be shitty to others
-
MattATobin
and i have had enough of doing that...
-
MattATobin
and getting in kind
-
MattATobin
so my theory is.. if people stop trying to control and force others to play nice and just encurage BEING nice maybe a lot of shit would actually improve rather than a report about how it is improving despite it clearly not
-
MattATobin
anyone care to challenge that theory?
-
Swampogre
It does seem as if there's some ulterior motive going on, people trying to create turmoil instead of smoothing anything over
-
MattATobin
whatever it is it ain't plain ol simple communism but i don't have a more percise word for it
-
Swampogre
and solve problems
-
MattATobin
our language doesn't have a word for whatever is happening now
-
Swampogre
communism according to Marx did have a point---rich people tend to give poor people the shaft
-
MattATobin
well yeah but only if the utopia is real
-
MattATobin
that is the ONLY wya it works
-
MattATobin
without massive corruption
-
MattATobin
... other systems are more resistant to corruption but not by much
-
Swampogre
But what to do about it is where the controversy arises. Marx was real fuzzy about his utopia. He didn't have an answer, not a realistic one anyway
-
MattATobin
a utopia breeds positive communism.. communism has been proven over decades if not centuries in more primitive forms to NEVER breed a utopia
-
MattATobin
if we want to have those good aspects we MUST create the utopia first else corruption and death will ALWAYS be the result
-
MattATobin
that is another theory
-
Swampogre
There are two things going on that do a lot to create human misery. One is population growth that leads to overpopulation, exceeding the carrying capacity of the planet and imposing poverty and starvation on some
-
MattATobin
Well Bill is working on that.. Microsoft has a wonderful plan for your life.. well 10% anyway
-
MattATobin
chances are it will be the rapid progress of war that will fix the population problem .. for a few minutes and if THAT happens it is gonna be quite authoritarian for a long time afterward depending on who wins..
-
MattATobin
no not depending
-
MattATobin
regardless
-
Swampogre
The other is that capitalism results in some getting ahead (that's OK) but the getting ahead gets out of hand, turns into political power, that turns into more financial gain, more political power, until you get a dictatorship of the rich, or an absolute monarchy or whatever. That's positive feedback in electronic terms. it makes a disaster in human society
-
MattATobin
even if freedom loving humans win it will be authoritarian as hell for at least a decade to weed out all resistance
-
MattATobin
... so yeah
-
Swampogre
The fix for concentration of wealth is negative feedback as in progressive income and wealth and property taxes, and transfers to the needy
-
MattATobin
still best ease off the subject .. we get a lot of latitude especially me and i have no idea why at this point best only push a tiny bit every now and again
-
MattATobin
;)
-
Swampogre
It that's not done, the economic system will keep breaking. I don't know why we are so good at physical control systems, but the same analysis that suggests solutions for human society are verbotten
-
Swampogre
Anyway, the new Seamonkey has a problem with connecting to Facebook and recent versions have a problem with some Facebook and Twitter videos
-
Swampogre
And the Gecko renderer in Facebook appears to date to 2010
-
Swampogre
Cloudflare security is blocking or discouraging a lot of sites from access by Seamonkey
-
Swampogre
Evangelism is needed
-
Swampogre
I just got off a Youtube video link, saw the video, but the text on that video page was missing. Strange.
-
Swampogre
Twitter works, both video and text work on Twitter
-
Swampogre
The Falcon browser seems to work fine though it's probably got a smaller market share than Seamonkey
-

Facebook might need specific user agent overrides. You might want to ask in mozillazine or search there. Since the switch to 91 you usually get "Your request couldn't be processed". But this uncorked lots of other sites so the version change stayed.
-
MattATobin
let me check Pale Moon's comm repo see what they are shiting out to them
-
MattATobin
i have GOT to get a damned release branch going i can't live on trunk code forever
-
MattATobin
-
MattATobin
you can TRY that maybe it will fall back enough to work for you.. but i dunno facebook isn't a big deal for the moonies
-
MattATobin
also they have non-rust webcomponents behavior might be different either way
-
MattATobin
sorry if it turns out not so helpful tho
-
MattATobin
oh
-
MattATobin
he left
-
MattATobin
like .. well logbot has it if they care i guess
-
Swampogre
Hi. I mentioned this earlier today, first day I've run v. 2.53.17beta1. Facebook page doesn't display and I get this error msg: Your Request Couldn't be Processed
-
Swampogre
There was a problem with this request. We're working on getting it fixed as soon as we can.
-
Swampogre
I would like to file a bug report, but I don't know what category to call it.
-
MattATobin
Swampogre: check the logbot in the topic if on libera.chat
-
Swampogre
I don't know how to do that
-
MattATobin
you can't copy and paste a url from the channel topic (if not click)?
