@glyph I used to run Firefox as my day-to-day browser, but I decided to give Safari a try when upgrading my laptop a while back and was pleasantly surprised by it.
The fact that anyone who cares about mobile (which is everybody) is forced by Apple's iOS policies into testing on Safari means I see fewer sites break than before, and while the privacy controls aren't as fine-grained or powerful as Firefox they still offer what I think is a reasonable baseline. Performance is also decent, and the battery-life impact is hard to beat.
I still keep Firefox installed, and I still use it for some things (especially browser-based games), but I'd say my usage of it has dropped probably 80% or more.

@ubernostrum oh that's interesting. why browser-based games? do you find they perform better, or does the browser-game-dev community test more with it?

@glyph @ubernostrum As a very annoyed browser game developer today: Firefox still hasn't implemented the Web Share API (also for some reason Google doesn't allow it in Android WebView even though Chrome supports it just fine).

@mario_angst_sci @glyph Even though it's been over ten years now since my last day at Mozilla, I still get irritated whenever salaries are brought up like this.
As just a developer (not an executive), after Mozilla I literally doubled my salary overnight by accepting a job with an ordinary for-profit company. And while you didn't mean it this way, what it feels like when a lot of people complain about Mozilla people getting paid is "you should have been happy to be significantly underpaid during some of your prime earning years, because you were working on an Important Societal Mission and that's more important than money".
And I extend that to discussions of executive pay. Demanding that people be underpaid relative to peers "for the misson" will always bother me.
Or more bluntly: if someone thinks working on important things has to involve being paid less (or even completely unpaid, as is too often the case with open source), I invite them to be the one who does it.

@coderanger @ubernostrum wait they've had this feature-flagged for 4 years and still haven't enabled it? that's… weird

@glyph I find that on sites like newgrounds a lot of things that just show a blank square of no content in Safari will work in Firefox. Don't know why that is, just that it is. Maybe it's my own settings impacting that, but I still have a pretty locked-down Firefox setup, so I'm skeptical that Safari is somehow even more restrictive.

@ubernostrum @mario_angst_sci I feel the same way although in the case of the executives, the fact that they are so visibly and aggressively useless in recent years makes it hard to get too mad at people who feel the dissonance there. But "buffoonish mediocrities being paid nonsense disproportionate rates as executives" is of course not particularly a Mozilla-specific issue, as we head into 2026

@glyph @mario_angst_sci I generally avoid getting into arguments about specific executives or policies or whatever. I just think that people who work on societal good should actually be rewarded for doing so, and as far as I'm aware Mozilla exec salaries are still on the low end compared to other household-name tech companies.
And I understand it's a difficult problem: other companies can make huge stock grants to avoid needing to actually pay out hard cash, and Mozilla does not have that option. But I also know what I was making when I worked there, and what my peers at not-even-Big-Tech companies were making, and it really does get to me.

@glyph I stopped using Firefox when they became an adtech company. Then they became an AI company and did I feel smug.

@glyph I haven’t dug too deep into the individual bugs yet but Firefox now gives me more grief at work than Safari and that’s saying something.

@glyph You just made me want to read Excession. So far the only Culture novel I've read all the way through is The Player of Games. (I read part of Consider Phlebas roughly 12 years ago, but lost interest about halfway through.)

@matt they’re all surprisingly different and so it’s hard to have a scalar ranking but I think Excession might be my favorite?

@matt be aware that "but backwards" is doing a *ton* of heavy lifting here, this is a joke intended for those who have already read it :)

@glyph YEEEAHHHHH
fwiw i try ty every six months and i find it to be neither faster, more more comprehensive, nor more correct. It’s almost as bad as pyre.

@ubernostrum @glyph ehm… sorry to rain on your parade pun, but the prime numbers guy was Eratosthenes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eratosthenes – Demosthenes was famous for his speeches, not for mathematics.

@eniko I voted for “other” because although I have never personally roasted a whole chicken, we do have “girarrosto” shops here that basically sell just that

@NIGHTEN the right one (second)

“Sandy, we have to let you go because you aren’t using Copilot enough.”
“But… I already use it for literally everything I do here.”
“Well, then I guess you should have made up stuff to get it to do for you. Security is waiting to take you to your desk. You have fifteen minutes to collect your things.”
“But—“
“If you’ll excuse me, Sandy, I need to ask Copilot to tell me how to word a call to my mother for her birthday before I fire the next person.”

Have you looked at your sidekiq logs to see if there are any errors?
Thanks for the feedback; Lemmy doesn't have sidekiq, but I'll try to see what the logs say anyway.
