-
nsITobin
tomman: yeah its insane

aww, JWZ only blocked two idiots this time: one defending EME (because apparently Netflix is a "must have" for mankind), and another idiot complaining about JWZ being "emotional"
-
nsITobin
tomman: why is JWZ saying shit i was saying 10 years ago
-
nsITobin
literally
-
nsITobin
1. Building THE reference implementation web browser, and
-
nsITobin
2. Being a jugular-snapping attack dog on standards committees.

tomman
I blame San Francisco

mastodon.social/@jwz/113250642473455523 and this is the JWZ that pisses me off badly
-
nsITobin
well i maintain UXP and Pale Moon tech was was fine throughout my tenure and certainly gets development
-
nsITobin
he is right tho.. nice things were depercated in 2005 and have reached the end of long-term support
-
tomman
OK, that hurts :D
-
tomman
and this is why I now use Windows Me
-
nsITobin
that was depercated before it was released
-
nsITobin

is there a trick to being able to follow links with the keyboard even if they're not textual? like on firefox I can use the surfingkeys extension which will label every clickable element with a pair of letters, or back in the day the conkeror browser used to have that built-in.
-
technomancy
haven't been able to find anything like that for seamonkey; does it exist?
-
nsITobin
i dunno i never even heard of anything like that save using tab and arrow keys somehow
-
technomancy
yeah, that is technically viable but it's very slow compared to this
-
technomancy
I kinda like seamonkey, but not enough to give up on the keyboard
-
technomancy
I guess this is more of a browser for mouse users; that's fine
-
njsg
technomancy: all I know is old, because I've not tried to use anything like that in gecko browsers for years now
-
technomancy
yeah, I was able to get keysnail to work in palemoon, but it wouldn't install in seamonkey
-
njsg
last I delved into this area: conqueror, on top of xulrunner, vimperator, pentadactyl. I think at least the latter might have run on seamonkey too, but not sure
-
technomancy
yeah, conkeror was the pinnacle of browsers; nothing since has come close
-
technomancy
it used to be possible to run conkeror on seamonkey but I couldn't get it working when I tried yesterday
-
njsg
conqueror IIRC was meant to be Emacs-like and pentadactyl vim-like, but I pretty much could get the latter to be Emacs-like
-
njsg
now never heard of keysnail, but it might be worth checking if it will work with SeaMonkey with little or no adaptation.
-
technomancy
problem is webextensions explicitly ban rebinding ctrl-n and ctrl-p
-
nsITobin
service smb start
-
nsITobin
...
-
technomancy
despite the fact that I haven't opened a new window intentionally in over a decade
-
njsg
in the base UI I suppose the only thing will be the tab key?
-
njsg
nsITobin: Restarting service...

nsITobin: Segmentation fault

LOL
-
nsITobin
nice
-
njsg
gdb: command not found
-
nsITobin
i should hack bash to say Bad command or file name
-
nsITobin
... best make sure I have an alt shell installed before hacking bash
-
nsITobin
LOL
-
njsg
there's always busybox (it has its own sh, right?), and I'm sure minnie.tuhs.org will have sources for some shells
-
njsg
technomancy: okay, that - about webexts not being able to bind some keybindings - is... wow.
-
njsg
that bad, uh?
-
technomancy
njsg: it's insultingly stupid
-
technomancy
because it's justified "for security reasons"
-
njsg
was that decided before or after preventing web pages to bind these bindings?
-
njsg
because the old yellow webapp OWA did have that problem
-
technomancy
that was a lot more recent
-
njsg
close tab? oops, message marked as read, open tab? oops something else happened to message
-
technomancy
at least with firefox it didn't hit until 2017
-
technomancy
chrome had that problem much earlier tho
-
njsg
mozilla bought k-9 mail to... add tracking?
