Firefox 130.0.1 Release Notes in c/firefox@lemmy.ml

All I want is the ability to use the freaking emojis panel on macOS. This bug was identified over a year ago and they haven't fixed it yet, because I think they're secretly hoping Apple will just magically fix it for them.

Cool, thanks!

cAPS LOCK (shift edition) in c/funny@lemmy.world

Yeah but the OS controls what it does with the signal.

On macOS if CapsLock is down hitting Shift does nothing. Not sure what happens on Linux; I thought I remembered it also not lower casing text with CapsLock and Shift both active but I could be wrong.

I wonder if you can run it off any USB C PD that will do 100w+ without buying the battery pack. I know my MBP USB C power supply does at least 100, if not more on MagSafe.

This is only a Windows thing AFAIK?

Weird, very weird. Not demure, not mindful.

Unfortunatley, living in AZ (much like FL) makes it really hard to differentiate between real headlines and Onion headlines sometimes.

Relevant to your interests: As a straight, male mountain biker, I swear like three quarters of the cute women I meet and get interested in are lesbians. (And the other 25% are out biking with their husband, boyfriend, etc.)

Where is Naomi Wu? in c/linux@programming.dev

Last post that I can find by her is on Mastodon, promoting a new electronics book she helped co-author, I think?

But yeah, she has been super quiet since they "clipped her wings". But she said she would be too. Censorship sucks and I can't believe we let an entire country get away with it and still did business with them the whole time.

What Happened With Trump At Arlington? in c/outoftheloop@lemmy.world
[–] heavyboots@lemmy.ml 66 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)
  • They attended a ceremony in a part of the cemetery off-limits to photography and political events, due to some sort of dealings instigated by House Speaker Mike Johnson.
  • Trump was told he could only attend in a personal capacity and that no hangers-on would be allowed in.
  • When an official tried to enforce these limitations on his visit, a large staffer physically pushed her aside, claiming that photography was allowed, so he and at least one or two staffers were there instead of just Trump himself.
  • Trump has (of course) posted this crap all over his social media, using it for political purposes, in spite of the conditions under which his visit was supposed to take place. (Honoring a fallen soldier in a civilian capacity.)
  • And after it is all over and starting to blow up in his face, his response is unsurprisingly to lie about it all, despite photographic evidence (of the politics and extra staffers) and eye witness confirmation of the physical aspect (by Army personnel) that it happened.

… and he calls some random people after he mows down the cyclists, but not 911? How is he only facing misdemeanor charges?!?

My apologies to the Bugzilla team for wasting their time holding my hand on this one. Would have honestly never noticed the little "HTML5" info icon to the left of the URL bar though without their help.

Best of 2023? (lemmy.ml)
 

For me, best of 2023 was Red Team Blues by Cory Doctorow. A retirement-age forensic accountant traveling around in an ex-rock star bus from Walmart parking lot to next gourmet dining location does a job for a billionaire and suddenly ends up in a surprising amount of hot water over it. Hijinks ensue.

Runner-up goes to Venomous Lumpsucker by Ned Beauman. This is some bleak, bleak humor. Instead of carbon credits, Beauman posits extinction credits. Got a big strip mining operation coming up that will kill off a couple species? Better buy some extinction credits to cover their death! (And remember, it takes more credits to cover for a dead intelligent species, so factor that in!) Next extinction candidate: the Venomous Lumpsucker, but don't make it extinct until you've got all your paperwork done. Researcher and extinction credit manager for a mining company end up in a desperate chase around the planet trying to ascertain if the last of the Lumpsuckers are truly gone or not, and we go along for the ride.

Not my video, but looks like a ton of fun! Should mention the rally driving starts about 4 minutes in. He goes over some of the main patch notes for 1.4 prior to that.

Previous button missing in 0.19? (lemmy.ml)
 

Anyone have an idea why the Previous button would be missing from all pages? I can click Next and it seems to navigate me forward, but there is not Previous button to go back a page. Checked lemmy.world just to verify it wasn't my imagination and indeed the Previous button is still there.

Things I've tried so far that haven't worked:

  • Disable uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and TamperMonkey for lemmy.ml
  • Load website in default Safari and Edge
  • Try a few different themes to make sure it wasn't something with the theme I was using

FireFox Lemmy Community by New Tool (addons.mozilla.org)
 

Hi everyone,

So I have created a "sublemmy" add-on for lemmy.ml that lets you quickly jump to a community from the address bar in FireFox. Just type 'c firefox', for example, and it will go there and sort the community by new. Useful if you have a few communities you want to check regularly and quickly from any new browser window.

The one caveat is that this tool only works for the website lemmy.ml because that is the site hardwired into the search string, alas. Not sure if there is a way around that (that would maybe take 2 arguments instead of one?) but that's where it's at for now.

Link is included if anyone wants to use it!
