  nsITobin: hey OK so I have landed your about redirector stuff on 253 gitlab queus which is puthsin it on the way to landing on comm-central
• 13:04
  nsITobin
  Good morning WG9s, that's good news
• 13:10
  WG9s
  on the other hand your patch for TOP-unrestricted-comm-build-and-sandbox-dllblklstoop.patch was rejected so tried to do a patch might me more acceptable
• 13:11
  WG9s
  I think the issue was they were trying to restrict what apps could bypass this restirction that they condiered to be a security thing
• 13:12
  WG9s
  so although you were treating this a s you ann OPT into doing this. they teated it as opting out of shat they condered to be a security restriction
• 13:13
  WG9s
  so issue is anyone can make up a new app in comm theat woudl be able to avoid the restirction and nothing needs to be reviewed but the people who invoked the security protection
• 13:14
  WG9s
  so anyway i landed your cahnge on gitlab but insted of anyting in comm acn opt in or out it is just comm/suite is permitted so
• 13:14
  nsITobin
  well THAT patch can't go to central
• 13:14
  nsITobin
  its a top patch
• 13:14
  WG9s
  the comm-release is also no longer required
• 13:15
  WG9s
  yes but don;t want to ahve a seamonkey ptch that is dependent on a moz-central aptch that will never be able to land
• 13:16
  nsITobin
  well it won't ever land because Mozilla is blocking me so I gave up
• 13:16
  WG9s
  and if they won't approve a patch that lallows any comm-central app to do this I don;t think we need to do that either
• 13:16
  nsITobin
  but I did split the patches out
• 13:17
  nsITobin
  you guys may be able to get it landed.. but I wanted it to be something *i* did on my own to see if it was possible.. its not and the 2fa thing is just a pretense
• 13:17
  WG9s
  waht I think we need to do is to make this al way simpler than it is on the mozilla side have a list of values for MOZ_BUILD_APP that are permitted to do this
• 13:18
  nsITobin
  WG9s: that still means the list is one of approved applications
• 13:18
  nsITobin
  it violates Mozilla's original mission statement
• 13:18
  WG9s
  that was my idea they weem to think this is a security thing so want to be in the approval process. Just trying to work within the system.

  WOW
• 23:42
  tomman
  mastodon.social now renders properly again!
• 23:42
  nsITobin
  i thought you were just shocked I didn't fill the channel with idle chatter
• 23:42
  nsITobin
  but does it?
• 23:42
  nsITobin
  tomman:
• 23:43
  tomman
  dunno if it was the fact I updated the nightly last week, or that some webshit reverted some Shiny Squirrel™ (haha, a man can dream)
• 23:43
  nsITobin
  you will have to do progressive testing to see what broke what
• 23:43
  nsITobin
  i am gonna start saying exactly that
• 23:44
  nsITobin
  lol
• 23:44
  nsITobin
  well that's good they either fixed their crap or frg did one of the two
• 23:44
  nsITobin
  fixed is always so much better than broken
• 23:45
  tomman
  I couldn't even tell what broken, because it wasn't JavaScript (or at least devtools didn't caught anything)
• 23:46
  tomman
  most likely it was some CSS dogvomit
