💣 Discourse 1.2 incoming! 軣
-
worrying about cookies and ads and all that shit is too much fucking work. Ain't nobody here got time for that.
@HardwareGeek does, since he took the time to block a lot of that. ;)
-
I have time and energy for blocking annoying stuff. I just let the tinfoil take care of tracking cookies or whatever they're called these days.
-
What? I'm just saying that worrying about cookies and ads and all that shit is too much fucking work. Ain't nobody here got time for that.
I don't worry about them. I blocked them when I set up the computer and haven't looked back. It pretty much never causes a problem. If it does, I usually just never visit the site again. If someone CBA to make their site work without cookies, I probably CBA to frequent their site.

Because the problem of reliably detecting mobile vs PC is a complicated problem?
Discourse already spots desktop and mobile "well enough".
I get a very different Discourse on my phone compared to desktop.Remember that web client detection doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs to work most of the time for most clients.
If unsure, hand out the desktop version and show a link to the mobile version (loaded first).
Job done. Next!

Screen width detection != mobile detection

True, but good enough is good enough.
In most cases, but that falls apart when you start doing a lot of heavy lifting client-side. (Like Discourse) If you are still serving the same shit, but just setting CSS rules as to what you will display, it may not be good enough. (Like Discourse)
If you use screen width in order to decide whether to send mobile or desktop versions, then I would agree that it is good enough.

Did I say that any old random was good enough?

Until someone with raspbipan decides to browse your site and it shits a brick.

add flashblock and you have a match made in heaven

Depends on your definition of good enough ... I'd care if it broke raspbipan, but only because it would mean my website was a bloated sack of crap that was in dire need of optimization, not because I actually cared about raspbipan visitors.

aaah.... that title is WAY better than the lame game of thrones reference.
:-D
and i realize after i edit it that i should have sad it was "incoming", not "is coming"
...frack!

Remember that the transition cannot possibly go faster than $DNS_TTL.

Well, the true Worms afficionado should recognize: “Tools for fools!”

SMART QUOTES?!

FTFM
Well, I actually want to support the sites I visit, so long as they don't assault me.
-
Well, my Flash reference lived long... So much about having TL3 being awesome. Humph.
-
Sorry. Want to change it back? I won't take it personally.
-

Nah, no reason to get into title change wars.
This was probably the second or third time ever that I used my TL3 "powers" and it gets reverted immediately. It caused a slight "rly??" reaction, which, combined with my bad mood today, made me post a "complaint".
-
So much about having TL3 being awesome. Humph.
I could trust-hole you to TL2 if you like. Or TL0.
The latter can be fun...

I think you used the <abbr> the wrong way around...

Oh no you did not just suggest using the UA for this. The stupid ideas thread is... nowhere
The point of the
User-agent
string is to inform the webserver that the browser we're using is some version of Mozilla from 1997, isn't it?(<xc>http://whatsmyuseragent.com/<xc>)
-
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64)
Nope! Well, ok, OS is fine, but nope.
AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko)
Still no.
Chrome/40.0.2214.94
Warmer...
Safari/537.36
No, damn it, I said warmer!
OPR/27.0.1689.66
About damned time. Sheesh!
Lesson of the story? Just read it backwards, I guess.

Like Java package names?

Ahhh, Java naming conventions. The only naming convention that makes me search for the software maker's website just so I know in which directory the damned config files are.

Ahhh, Java with its multiple shitty ways of loading configuration files through its standard library, none preferable (and I say that as a Java dev).Did your vendor in this case package all his config files into a JAR or an unzipped directory structure following those conventions? Because you can load stuff outside a package, one just needs to be aware of the proper way to do it.

That would be mozilla as in the netscape rendering engine correct?

Sort of; the rendering engine is actually called Gecko

I wasn't referring to Java per se in this case, but Mac OS X uses that scheme. Imagine my frustration when I tried to find a config file for the first time on someone's Mac.
"This is UNiX, I know this! Ok, there should be something like ~/.config, ok, there we go, now, the software is calle... wait! com? org? net? What is this shit???"

I thought it was called Electrolysis

SMART QUOTES?!
They're not smart quotes. I have a keystroke combination that lets me type the correct characters directly. Alt+[ FTW…
-
Also you can use
<q>
tags to generate fancy quotes.
Like this,
he said,is that a MarkDeBbqcodeLolTTP feature?

I don't even know how much RAM my phone has anyway, and I'm a technical user.
Apparently you aren't as much of one as you thought.
-

I don't do a lot of non-web apps, but isn't the Preferences API (the recommended method for saving configuration files?) not intended to be user-servicable?
-
Yes, but only in desktop apps. I've never seen it used in a web application. With the Preferences API everything is persisted in the users
.java
folder. Not too good when you have several instances of the same app running in the same server.

i'm somewhat partial to:
and that was supposed to be a reply to @Polygeekery.....
Amazon is now spamming me about these. Thanks, @accalia.
-
you are welsome.... until you edit your browsing history on amazon and remove it. :-P
-
you are welsome.
I am well mostly, but when I do get a cold, it tends to drag on forever and often turns into bronchitis.
;P
-
in that case i would recommend against editing your amazon browsing history. ;-)

Tags are a plugin. Are there plans to install it, @PJH?
