unsupported. cash.app while it didn't work "right", at least it worked. now, assuming i did my UA override correctly, still rolling over to "unsupported".

wonder if it might (now, since UA change be a cookie issue?) - problem there is... what is the un/pw ;-)

cleared cookies, no help

therube site displays. Problem with login?

heh. i'm not sure. i have to see if i can come up with the login/pw to pursue this further ;-)

though... yesterday all was fine, today it just rolled over to cash.app/unsupported-browser

so while i can load a page like, cash.app/account/money, & it does ask for login, at this point, since i don't know the login, i can't tell if (having now cleared cookies) a UA change will be effective or not. (it was not simply by adding the override.)

therube btw. fixed the crash from yesterday just to run into the next one. Just takes a bit longer and sometimes a few reloads. crap site for sure but all shadow dom related.

frg_Away: with UA (&, heh, now with login data), i can log in successfully, but then it automatically rolls over to cash.app/unsupported-browser. sucks.

& soon, gmail is going to force me from its' "basic" email to its glorified crap UI. i'm going to luv that!

might be another case of if not chrome then unsupported.

Usually it is bigint, dynamic imports and private class files these days. I am on it but call me a broken record here stating this. Slow progress.

given how google operates, I'm going with «there's an usability issue somewhere and somebody internally escalated a bug and the solution found was to axe "simple html"»

I might be too cynical on this, though. (re: gmail web ui)

well they might need it to protect privacy google style with the privacy sandbox among other things :)

will support for discourse forums ever happen in SM?

a-865: no, as per Discourse policy

Jeff and folks will keep jumping into the latest shinies ASAP

I would try to convince forum operators to switch away from Discourse (or to never switch to it in first place, as it is a terrible tech hellstew, for both users and sysadmins), but... I'm afraid that ship sailed, sinked, and got hit by a falling Boeing plane

tomman: could it happen for a particular discourse forum that stops upgrading from its current incarnation?

a-865: difficult, as most Discourse instances are not self-hosted

the "official" supported deployment way is by hiring with their partner, Digital Ocean

and IIRC that stuff autoupdates (or close to it)

or at least it was like that when The Daily WTF had the displeasure of using (and breaking) Discourse for their forums

and selfhosting Discourse is complicated as the only other supported deployment way involves Docker

it's not just "unzip this tarball somewhere in your wwwroot and run this script"

# grep disc /etc/hosts

0.0.0.0 discourse.org

Seems like ought to be able to work at least enough to login with an appropriate UA string, once actual support for such process exists

ah, just crashed. i think i loaded a MS page, or was about to, from a google search.

now that is certainly weird.

heh, that's funny. so i have to fire up SeaMonkey to pull down a more recent build.

i'm on 20240104220119 currently

i'll have to keep an eye out for SeaMonkey RAM / memory usage (in case there might be something there) [& it's nothing anything that has been an issue, in ages, much less an actual crash, aside from yesterday, & now, today]

now, 20240110220002. otherwise i'm pretty much static - in what i do, extensions & whatnot (other then i did disable Pale Fill, probably when i put in the previous build)

tomman: I did try to dissuade forums.opensuse.org maintainers not to switch to discourse, but not hard enough. I had only a popgun for ammo.

a-865: at least they DID something, by partially undoing Jeff's sabotage when it detects a browser not fitting The Vision™

I do appreciate that, at least

a-865: didn't SuSE at one point had a system that was also offering a network news interface?

(or maybe it was here that I read about that?)

njsg: The openSUSE forums did have NNTP interface, but I never tried to use it.
