11:40:24 <tomman> https://www.theregister.com/2024/01/04/google_set_to_start_cookie/ how cute, Google
11:40:58 <tomman> another terrible API to deliver ads, while burning my precious system resources AND lying to everybody to make them believe that their "privacy" is "safe"
16:04:22 <therube> looks like github broke even more, https://github.com/RRUZ/delphi-preview-handler
16:04:24 <therube> now, not seeing any meaningful data
16:04:25 <therube> (i'm still on 20231212170116, so i'll pull a more recent, if i get a moment...)
16:38:54 <tomman> therube: Giggityhub has been broken like that for at least 2 months
17:08:19 <therube> actually, it might ? be uBlock that is (now) the issue with github ?
17:09:34 <therube> or, a coincidence, or maybe github just changed things (as now the earlier link, while still "wrong", at least now works)
18:56:33 <guest_> @therube : build 20231128204555 on Windows: github page displays correctly but you need to scroll down a little to skip login mask
18:57:20 <therube> guest_: right.  but earlier today that "trick" no longer worked.  (but it is back working now.)
18:58:59 <guest_> WG9s build 20231224220003 Win64 : displays github page correctly too
18:59:27 <tomman> wonder which release I have...
18:59:36 <tomman> 20231208110117
19:00:14 <tomman> on that one the README[.md] main page of every project is unreadable even after scrolling past the logon dialog
19:00:20 <tomman> but everything else seems to work more or less
19:00:21 <guest_> it does not work if you go into a subfolder
19:00:39 <tomman> the subfolder view has been broken for months, yes
19:00:54 <tomman> sometimes I wonder why the Giggityhub folks do so much change for the sake of change...
19:01:04 <tomman> are they paid by the "lines of code commited" metric?
19:04:03 <therube> ah, so currently, https://github.com/Cyan4973/xxHash has /some/ information, but is relatively void of it
19:04:05 <therube> (that is with 20231212170116 & palefill extension)
19:04:07 <therube> with 20240104220119, page displays properly (& palefill not required)
19:04:09 <therube> when i get chance i'll update
19:04:55 <therube> "properly".  nothing it "proper" on git, but at least you can deal with it
19:05:46 <therube> s/it/is/
19:13:35 <therube> yet... https://ericzimmerman.github.io/ does not work
19:19:53 <guest_> readme.md on github is readonly on the top level page but not when clicking on readme.md - same effect when jumping into a subfolder
19:22:48 <guest_> this is not a problem with github.com but it is a problem that SM is years back in support of jscript and regex resulting in unusable page when displaying pages based on newer frameworks
19:24:15 <tomman> it's still a problem with Giggityhub for updating to the latest bleeding edge frameworks and features for no good reason at all other than "well, shiny"
19:24:33 <tomman> every time our browsers manage to fix up things, they come on the offensive with the latest load of shinies
19:24:46 <tomman> and not even a fallback is EVER considered
19:26:14 <guest_> it is not only github - more and more web sites are no longer displayed correctly (if at all :-( )
19:26:48 <tomman> and the reason is always the same: pointless updating to the latest framework fads :/
19:27:40 <guest_> I agree but unfortunately the real www life  is different
19:27:53 <tomman> indeed, sadly
19:28:19 <tomman> and there seems no end to the endless feature creep and code churn on the web scene
19:29:07 <tomman> at some point some Github drone justified to Pale Moon that their constant breakage of "OLDER" browsers was required for having "healthy ecosystems", also the word "innovation" was suggested
19:29:52 <guest_> recently I visited a web site which complained about google chromism but surprise the web did not display correctly in SM - guess what was the reason
22:13:52 <slk64_30211> @WG9s Seamonkey homepage contains an entry Development - Nightly Builds
22:13:52 <slk64_30211> this link points at https://www.wg9s.com/seamonkey/nightly/comm-253-latest/
22:13:52 <slk64_30211> but it seems the URL has changed
22:13:52 <slk64_30211> should probably point at https://www.wg9s.com/seamonkey-253-nightly/
22:17:59 <WG9s> slk64_30211: what is the url of the page with the incorrect link?
22:18:42 <slk64_30211> https://www.seamonkey-project.org/start/
22:18:43 <WG9s> will need to change again as soon as we get our offical archive site wotking too bt should fix so it goes to someplace that exists until then
22:20:17 <slk64_30211> want to say thank you very much for all you do, very good work
23:03:29 <tomman> just updated to 20240104220119, no changes on Giggityhub's brokenness
23:59:55 <dongle> no home button?
