  • urghhhhh but firefox just doesn’t perform as well. i tried, i really did. i found a 15 year old (!!) bug affecting svg drawing performance that was fucking up a page i was working on, i’m not imagining it.

    I’m not sure if it’s the same one but i just found a similar bug with a five year old comment saying i guess we’re not fixing it anytime soon… https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483868

    I do have it installed and check in occasionally but it feels like a downgrade when i try to use it as a daily driver.

    is there any way to get a functional de-googled chromium build with settings sync across devices?





  • Ya if it’s not federated already, I’m thinking the link will just remain as-is?

    yeah that seems entirely reasonable. it’ll still be a big improvement in most cases. also even if it only happens as it federates initially it’ll probably still catch many cases. is it possible to do a follow-up check only for links that weren’t updated the first time? if you could store a cool-off and maximum number of tries that would probably keep it light and as functional as possible.

    when serving posts with un-processed links that haven’t been updated, and it hasn’t been checked in the last 3 hours, re-check for a federated article and update. do this for up to 24 hours after the comment is posted, after that just give up? that gives it a few opportunities but doesn’t continue to waste resources if it’s unlikely the link will be resolved.

    I’m not sure if it’s easy to add columns to track those attempts though.
