Oh God What Now™ @ecmel@toot.cat

i don't actually know if this does what i say it does, i don't know wayland internals and stole this off birdsite: https://twitter.com/kernellogger/status/1542857186585501697

cursed wayland: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/901

(i believe this gives xwayland functionality to run whole desktop environments, like xfce)

green on those bluish darks all dark mode "modern" designs use is certainly an aesthetic

does anyone know good web development tools that:

* doesn't hoard server resources (so, not Rails)
* doesn't need too much boilerplate code (so, not Rust, unfortunately)
* doesn't need client JS for everything
* is reasonably standard and not a few people's hobby project (unless it's really good)
* has reasonable documentation (more than examples and API docs)
* has reasonable tooling (linters, autocomplete, formatters, etc)

there's probably a few more requirements i'm forgetting, but if you share something that manages to pass most of these i'll definitely check it out

programming is a lie invented in the 20th century by big computer to prevent me a decade later from making cool stuff and you can't tell me otherwise

how to recover (some) configuration/data from (some) extensions if you have a backup of the profile folder

git clone https://gitlab.com/ntninja/moz-idb-edit
cd moz-idb-edit
$yourpackagemanager install python3-jmespath python3-snappy
python3 moz-idb-edit --profile /home/you/.mozilla/firefox/ejkh8j34.dev-edition-default --extension uBlock0@raymondhill.net > ubo.json

change uBlock0@raymondhill.net as appropriate. see extensions.json on your profile folder on what extension maps to what ID (sometimes UUID-like, sometimes email like, both should work)

sourcemaps: the thinking man's version control

(just recovered a file i haven't committed yet through the generated sourcemap)

if only rust wasn't as verbose and had a gc option (so i could just ignore the borrow checker's complexities)

even php feels "more fun" than rust. PHP!

good not-verbose actually fun to code in "web languages" that are not php, js or python

(nonexistent)

it was apparently on nightly about a month ago, and now it seems to have dropped to beta/deved in the last few updates

since WHEN did firefox's video popup get support for subtitles? (at least on youtube)

that's neat
