Discord moved from discordapp.com to discord.com

I’m willing to bet discord.com was purchased from another owner/squatter once their business grew large enough to justify the expense.

Yeah I do torrent sometimes (if the streaming sites have too low bitrate) but mostly I just use whatever FMHY links to.

Last time I installed Debian it gave me a list of DEs and I could pick as many as I wanted to, no default. Did something change?

If you don't choose a specific DE (which is the default setting), it installs GNOME.

I'm quite sure the last time I installed Debian, a year or two ago, I didn't choose a DE so it installed no DE at all.

Are you people talking about installing from a GNOME-based live image or something? I think most people use the netinstall image, which uses no DE and, I'm about 90% sure, has no graphical environment selected by default.

This is correct, but lacking context: If you don't select the desktop task, no desktop is installed; if you select the desktop task, but no specific version of it, it installs GNOME.

There are also KDE, XFCE, LXDE, and maybe others, to also install; but the user has to select those instead of the default desktop task.

Perhaps you used the minimal image, I remember both having a DE when installing debian and not having a DE when I installed it again later.

If you choose the desktop environment task then by default it gives you GNOME.

Check again. That list of DEs comes with GNOME checked by default.

which one would be selected if you didn't make a choice. I don't use debian, but I thought the answer was GNOME.

IIRC, if you don't choose one, no DE is installed at all.

Thanks - this is useful indeed but it is sort of a hobbled view - I don't have access to the extensions I have installed in the side view. E.g. the main view shows the page in dark mode via dark reader but the side view doesn't have access to the extension so it has white background which is very jarring (better than nothing though). I wish they allowed a full-on split - almost like having two browser windows (with a common menu/bookmarks bar that acts upon the "active" pane).

Chrome did it first, and (at least on Windows) the system print dialog sucks anyway.

Sure, and the single biggest weakness over at Mozilla is that they're more focused on building a better Chrome (a.k.a. following the leader) instead of innovating or fixing bugs. That's why we've lost useful tools like the 3D DOM rendering in favor of a fucking chat client in Thunderbird. Or why if your system is lagged enough you can hit Cmd+T, start typing a URL, hit return, and have Firefox load the new URL in the old tab… but at least we have that awful search instead of separate, proper, URL and search bars. It's why we get limited-time-only!!! paid themes while all extensions get disabled because someone forgot to deal with an expired certificate.

Mozilla, and by extension the Firefox crew, lost sight of their core competencies a long time ago. Every dumbass design decision the Chrome folks make, Mozilla will emulate a few years later.

Definitely agree on some of this stuff. The themes situation sounded pretty delusional the whole time. And there were many more decisions like that.

However, what is this about separate search and url boxes? I have that, still. You don't have to have just the single box. Still, the main url box still behaves as a search either way. Is that what you mean?

I also think Firefox had lost its way, but not because of these things.

IIRC Thunderbird is a separate project now, not part of Mozilla, no?

Well they went corporate (MZLA Technologies) but they are still under the mozilla foundation.

Most text formats are easier to parse but in incorrect ways.

But no browsers support 3rd-party plugins anymore. (I think the Chromium PDF viewer might be a plugin internally though?)

tbf there's been a working import map polyfill for a long time now

I don't think you can use SRI with imports?

i did more or less the same thing but running in the browser https://easrng.github.io/modbundler/

you give it an import map and a list of urls and it either bundles + minifies to a single .js file or rewrites the paths and saves everything as a .zip
