oh wow that IRC username bug...
-
njsg
well, "bug"
-
Sompi
also, code pages are still a thing with modern hardware because graphics cards are still VGA compatible and their text mode uses code pages
-
Sompi
so it would make sense that a web browser could at least display text files correctly using code page charsets
-
Sompi
code pages aren't going away
-
tomman
not really: modern GPUs are not even 2D anymore
-
tomman
they simulate everything via the 3D pipeline
-
Sompi
but they are also VGA compatible
-
tomman
even the text mode BIOS is largely emulated on shaders
-
Sompi
of course, everything is emulated
-
Sompi
on x86 CPUs the entire instruction set is emulated, and has been since Pentium Pro
-
Sompi
nowadays everything is just highly specialized RISC CPUs emulating the actual instruction set that is visible to the programmer
-
Sompi
it doesn't falsify what I wrote
-
tomman
maybe Transmeta was right... and wrong at the same time
-
tomman
the future is emulation, but not with VLIW :D
-
njsg
I did enjoy being told to use VESA when I was trying to figure out the appropriate linux or gentoo settings, was it for the virtual console or x11... problem is it wasn't an "IBM PC-compatible" :-)
-
njsg
<+tomman> maybe Transmeta was right... and wrong at the same time <--- the future is clearly quantum computing then :-P
-
tomman
the future has been quantum for the last 40 years we've been hearing that "the future will be quantum"
-
tomman
and so far the only pieces of quantum hardware I have are a bunch of old dead Quantum Fireballs and Bigfoot HDDs :D
-
Sompi
no, computers must be deterministic
-
tomman
...and a local ISP called "Quantum Xfinity Networks"
-
tomman
(that ALSO STOLE the Quantum logo!)

(More about Finnish news outlets:) Maybe it's just a coincidence, but looking at memory usage and doing "flush memory", as well as alt-tabbing back and forth: are Ilta-Sanomat webpages excessively heavy even without JS?

nsITobin
just making sure the logbot was still recarding
-
Sompi
cloudflare's anti-ddos thing doesn't let SeaMonkey through anymore
-
Sompi
It doesn't even give the "verify that you're a human" box at all
-
Sompi
No errors in the browser console
-
Sompi
The page just doesn't include the actual task to prove being a human
-
Sompi
njsg: Every Finnish website is bloated, the IT job sector here is completely broken and competent people are unemployed
-
Sompi
most websites don't even work without javascript at all
-
Sompi
they have at least megabytes of minified JS
-
tomman
Sompi: try threatening the Turnstile box with devtools
-
tomman
that's how I can get it to show at my side
-
tomman
it doesn't load, and neither it doesn't error on the console
-
tomman
but when I inspect the space where it is supposed to render... oh, magically it comes on!
-
tomman
that's Clownflare warfare for you
-
Sompi
That sounds like they are probably relying on some undefined behavior in Firefox
