  another 2.53... when we'll get newer engine 8(
• 13:09
  njsg
  Zart: the 53 doesn't mean it's stuck on "Firefox 56" level, it has been getting features from later "levels"
• 13:09
  Zart
  I'm still waiting on dynamic import()
• 13:09
  njsg
  in fact, I think there are several things 2.53 supports that 2.57 doesn't
• 13:09
  Zart
  which is ff67...
• 13:10
  Zart
  so yes, it literally means "it stuck at ff61" level
• 13:11
  njsg
  there *is* work going on to update the javascript engine, which is not easy and it's why it hasn't been concluded yet
• 13:11
  Zart
  but it has been years 8(
• 13:12
  njsg
  you'll probably find something from ff61 that is not included and something from ff7x, 8x or 9x that *is* included, this is why I'm saying mentioning these versions as if there were nothing newer is not accurate
• 13:13
  njsg
  Zart: a problem is that some newer changes depend on other changes that are not in yet, and that is being worked on
• 13:25
  Zart
  "newer"...

  We need people doing the work. No people no functionality.

  tomman
  if only GOOG poured billions on us...
• 15:11
  tomman
  ...we would be cheaper insurance than MZLA :D
• 15:12
  tomman
  --cheaper antitrust insurance
• 16:01
  njsg
  I like how it has become easy to tell which sites are using discourse
• 16:01
  njsg
  is it scrollable? yes: not discourse, no: discourse
• 16:05
  tomman
  njsg: it's even better than that: "Unfortunately, your browser is unsupported. Please switch to a supported browser to view rich content, log in and reply."

  tomman
  it's even logged as an JS exception on the console, how nice is that Jeff dude!
• 16:05
  tomman
  wait
• 16:05
  tomman
  Mozilla uses Dischorse, right?
• 16:05
  tomman
  but their instance actually works on SeaMonkey!?
• 16:08
  tomman
  weird, I tried to view the source for that Mozilla Dischorse instance and... Seamonkey hung :/
