According to caniuse.com, it works now in the Nightly builds and can be enabled in other builds via the media.wmf.hevc.enabled pref in about:config.

I use Firefox Dev Edition and I think it’s enabled there. But either way, you can enable it on stable.

You can always keep Chromium installed for the odd site that doesn’t work in Firefox (my daily driver). I do web development and test in every browser and I almost never encounter sites or features that don’t work in FF. The only one I can recall is something in the Azure Portal, probably because Microsoft wants you using Edge.

Typically, Safari is the laggard and any developer worth their salt would make sure their site works on iPad and iPhone. When a new web standard is released, usually Chromium supports it first but even then, not always. And web developers usually don’t use features that aren’t implemented across the board yet. I know I go to caniuse.com before I use something fresh out the oven.

I read that they temporarily (and apparently accidentally) removed the uBlock Origin Lite extension but they’re not getting rid of Manifest v2 that allows normal uBlock Origin to work.

The developer released the lite version on Firefox because it might be better for Android Firefox users. I guess there was some confusion.

Ditka vs. a Hurricane? Who would win?

Hold on! Hold on! Hold on! The name of the hurricane is Hurricane Ditka.

Scam attempts. This may be better elsewhere but in the U.S., every phone call I get is either a scam attempt or my mom (who is old enough that I worry about her getting elder scammed like when my grandma paid a stupid amount for silver coins).

I’ve never gotten scammed (except small stuff like carnival games or whatever) but if I were president I’d make ending scams — even false advertising ones — my top priority. You’ll be able to pick up a call from and unknown number after my first 100 days: that’s my promise to the people of America.

Why doesn’t he want to be in a room full of armed lunatics? Did he get shot recently or something?

And, yet, in that time, consumers paid more for telecommunication services and basically the main innovations they got were touchtone phones replacing rotary ones and higher bills. Bell Labs being a success story doesn’t mean Ma Bell shouldn’t have been broken up.

If consumers are paying extra to a monopoly anyway, just fund university labs and non-university research agencies (which we do). We have dozens of equivalents to Bell Labs. There’s no reason to rely on monopolists for innovation.

I’m curious about the Proud Boy who lived in New Orleans. I know fascists aren’t logical people but if you’re racist, hate LGBT+ people, etc., why would you live in a majority black, LGBT+ friendly city?

It’s like someone hating lobstermen and living in coastal Maine. Just move, dog. You won’t see a single lobsterman in Ohio.

I had to turn off content blockers on iOS. Then it worked fine.

The open source project is fine. It’s in no way perfect but it powers a shocking percentage of the world’s web sites. It’s showing its age, is bloated, and has constant security issues but if you know how to use it, it gets the job done.

Lately, the CEO of Wordpress.com — who also heads the Wordpress.org foundation for the open source project — went after a popular hosting service claiming they were basically making billions and contributing nothing to the open source project. But from the outside, he went about it in a very aggressive and seemingly irrational way.

Unfortunately, I don’t see it making Israeli civilians safer in the medium term due to the brutality of the wars. Israel can kill every Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthi leader but if the civilian deaths are disproportionate, new groups will form. Individuals will seek their own revenge. Israel is arguably as isolated diplomatically as it’s ever been.

It seems like a very short term victory that will undermine any chance for lasting peace.

MBFC: Biased but not in a consistent way - Credibility: Low - Factual Reporting: They rate business news channels with stock tickers at the bottom and fawning interviews with CEOs as “center left” sometimes and I don’t know what the fuck they even think left and right mean.
