RE: https://mastodon.social/@reiver/116458329529706660
BTW, the XUL app format had an easter-egg.
It made references to the (original) GhostBusters.
There is a line in GhostBusters:
“There is no Dana. There is only Zuul.”
In XUL (which is pronounced the same as "Zuul" from GhostBusters) it says:
“There is no Data. There is only XUL!”
🙂
XUL's namespace URL has more:
https://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul
Such as "gatekeeper" and "keymaster". Which are also GhostBuster references.

The next thing that shocks me is the 5.3% ABV. That's not amazingly high, but it is significantly higher than any Mexican lager I can think of.

They appear to be in a part of Knoxville that has a very high ratio of breweries to buildings.

CW: xul, programming
I miss using XUL to create UIs.
There were aspects of it that made UIs somewhat independent of the programming-language you were using.
(Well, assuming you didn't consider XUL to be a programming-language.)

Alllright, hello lunarians! We've moved instances again (4 hours has to be a world record for shortest stay in a #Mastodon before migrating :P), and hopefully this will be the final time we will do that. It would be a shame, because "Outer Heaven" does sorta fit more for a #browser named "Pale Moon"! ;)
So, with a permanent #fediverse home, here's the short #introduction again done two instances ago on what #PaleMoon is all about:
We are one of the first projects out there to have forked from #Firefox / #Mozilla. We've started as a humble rebuild aiming to bring an optimized Firefox, but we've soon evolved into a full-fledged fork (hard fork if you will) which kept what we believe were the good stuff that Mozilla axed and didn't deserve axing, like #XUL (which we believe is the most powerful language for extending a browser, up to its internals), #RSS, and <style scoped>, and kept out the ones that we believe were not good for our userbase (like Pocket, the LLM cruft, and if you're old enough, Australis!). We aim to keep evolving this mature platform in order to keep up with the latest feature additions to the web as we reasonably can (even though we believe they're becoming increasingly silly) while, if possible and necessary, adding up some of our own. All of that, as an independent effort supported primarily by nothing else but you: the users!
If you want to explore more about our history, roadmap, and what you can do with this browser, then please give our website below a visit! 🌕

Hello everyone in the #fediverse! This is will be our official SNS after we've left Twitter last year in June due to it crossing too many lines for us to even continue using it as a channel for notifications. We will be doing that stuff here too: announce important updates such as new releases and scheduled downtimes for our services whenever they come. However, with this account not being directly managed by our project owner (it is instead managed by @job), this social media account could try to be a bit more flexible this time, such as boosting relevant #PaleMoon commentary and sometimes posting about less-known features we have that deserve attention. We will see how this goes! ;)
As our first post, let me, the operator of this account write a short #introduction of what this #browser is: we are one of the first projects out there to have forked from #Firefox / #Mozilla. We've started as a humble rebuild aiming to bring an optimized Firefox, but we've soon evolved into a full-fledged fork (hard fork if you will) which kept what we believe were the good stuff that Mozilla axed and didn't deserve axing, like #XUL (which we believe is the most powerful language for extending a browser, up to its internals), #RSS, and <style scoped>, and kept out the ones that we believe were not good for our userbase (like Pocket, the LLM cruft, and if you're old enough, Australis!). We aim to keep evolving this mature platform in order to keep up with the latest feature additions to the web as we reasonably can (even though we believe they're becoming increasingly silly) while, if possible and necessary, adding up some of our own. All of that, as an independent effort supported primarily by nothing else but you: the users!
I would love to explain more, but it would take too long to write here, so we suggest exploring our website if you want to learn more!

There is no Monday. Only Sunday!
#XULPlus. You might have tomorrow off.
I don't know how I got that #FileCoffee #FileServer to work before. Failing, presently. #Docker is not my forte, and that's prob a requisite. Not difficult, but i just up'd to Debian Testing, and ... don't probably do that, unless you are crazy.
3 diff dev servers here. and blah, blah. wrong one.
Have a good #Sunday

Permission-based systems are bad. See #XUL getting replaced by #WebExtensions for example. It didn't stop #malware from getting into the #browser or the extension store. On the contrary, the malware problem only got worse after the complete replacement of XUL extensions, which is often disparaged as "insecure" because it allowed users to pretty much change how their browser fundamentally works.
Who knew that distrusting your users and not giving them control leads to more malicious software and user #security being broken more often. :seija_coffee:

The only reason I even know about #RDF is because of #XUL extensions where you need an
install.rdfincluded in the XPI archive. But yeah it's pretty much irrelevant today. :satsuki_sadge:

@CenturyAvocado The UI / #XUL application frontendof #PaleMoon is based on #Firefox 28 (before #Australis)
The #UXP platform/backend Pale Moon is built to work on is hard forked from the ESR 52 branch of the #Mozilla platform (which is erroneously referred to as the "Firefox platform" no thanks to Mozilla focusing so much on the browser to the detriment of building a sustainable XUL platform for other desktop app developers to use), and has since come a long way when it comes to #webcompat
So "really ancient" can be pretty misleading on the surface.

then implements modern features in Safari/Webkit really slowly
That's good actually, because you #webdevs keep chasing the shiny new features #Chrome / #Chromium / #Blink is pushing to the #web like fucking fireflies, to the detriment of #webcompat with small #browsers like #PaleMoon, #Basilisk, and others based on #UXP / #Goanna / #XUL (like #SeaMonkey).
As someone who used to work actively in Pale Moon's development, I am witness to a website that almost broke its #compatibility with my #browser but was stopped because the new feature it wanted to require was not yet available in an old #Safari / #WebKit version they're still supporting.
So yes, from my point of view, #Apple does more to support the #openweb than #Mozilla and #Firefox (which always follows Chrome whenever it's not controversial) does, even if it didn't intend to. And to be clear, I am not even an Apple fanboy. The only Apple device I own is this ancient 1st generation of the iPad mini. I don't like their ecosystem.
So it's not a bad take. It's the reality we independent desktop browser developers see in #webdev. ☕

"isn't into surveillance capitalism"
:kyou:
It's always amusing to see people still fervently pretend that #Mozilla isn't big tech. Their pretense of fighting for privacy and against "giants" like #Google really messed with people's minds
Soon these "evangelists" will see that there isn't really any point to using Firefox in this age and switch back to #Chrome instead, because they see that there aren't really any worthwhile differences from Chrome-land to keep using Firefox, which has been an inferior copy of Chrome ever since it abandoned #XUL. Mozilla's insistence on being a copycat of Chrome has ironically led to their browser becoming even more irrelevant.

Behold, Nazrin, a successor to the OverbiteFF extension for legacy #Mozilla like #Firefox 38-56, #PaleMoon, and #SeaMonkey!
Differences from #Overbite:
- Video and audio can now be played inline!
- Recognize<item type from Gopher+
- Fix compatibility for later SeaMonkey 2.53 versions
- Formal compatibility with Pale Moon 28 and above (no longer piggybacking on Firefox's UUID)

XUL Layout is gone, https://crisal.io/words/2023/03/30/xul-layout-is-gone.html.
XUL is (was) a Mozilla technology. Most of it can be replaced by current HTML/CSS features today. It’s being removed from Firefox, and that’s a good thing.

If you are a fan of Thunderbird and feel it is too heavy and sluggish, try out Interlink News & Mail.
It's quite barebones, but it's lean and mean! #email #DesktopClient #XUL
