FUCK YOU, COMP SCI!

If you're dumb enough to learn a new language this weekend
You're a big enough schmuck to learn GNU Common Lisp!

Bad docs! Monads for IO! Unicode!

If you think you're going to find use for Common Lisp, you can Kiss My Ass!

It's our belief that you're such a dumb motherfucker you'll fall for this bullshit - Guaranteed!

If you find a better runtime
Shove it up your ugly ass!
You heard us right!
Shove it up your ugly ass!

Bring your Calculus!
Bring your Paradigms!
Bring your Advisor!

We'll fuck 'em! That's right! We'll fuck your advisor!
Because with Common Lisp, You're fucked Six ways from Graduation!

Lose a week - To Common Lisp!

Home of CHALLENGE PACKAGING! That's right! CHALLENGE PACKAGING!

How does it work?
If you can get the same executable to run on two machines
and not get a segmentation fault
You get no GC overhead!

The just-released 120 for opens up to add-ons. There are already 50 of them available and the number should grow quickly as more add-ons get verified.
I've installed to get rid of cookie pop-ups. What a relief.
If you are not using Firefox on Android, I highly recommend giving it a try. It's been my daily driver for years and it's gotten really good and no other relevant mobile has such a wide variety of add-ons available AFAIK.

Today I learned that YouTube is deliberately crippling Firefox on Asahi Linux. It will give you lowered video resolutions. If you just replace "aarch64" with "x86_64" in the UA, suddenly you get 4K and everything.

They literally have a test for "is ARM", and if so, they consider your system has garbage performance and cripple the available formats/codecs. I checked the code.

Logic: Quality 1080 by default. If your machine has 2 or fewer cores, quality 480. If anything ARM, quality 240. Yes, Google thinks all ARM machines are 5 times worse than Intel machines, even if you have 20 cores or something.

Why does this not affect Chromium? Because chromium on aarch64 pretends to be x86_64

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

🤦‍♂️​🤦‍♂️​🤦‍♂️​🤦‍♂️​🤦‍♂️​

Welp, guess I'm shipping a user agent override for Firefox on Fedora to pretend to be x86.

EDIT: The plot thickens. Pretending to be ChromeOS aarch64 still gets 4K. Specifically: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS aarch64 10452.96.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.181 Safari/537.36 still works.

EDIT 2: OK, so the plot really thickens now. Chrome is not affected even if it claims to be aarch64. Turns out there is another codepath: apparently YouTube thinks aarch64 Firefox is... a HiSense TV?!?!?!?! Specifically, model 65a67gevs...?????

This is server-side sniffing now and it's specifically looking for Firefox aarch64 (or at least "Gecko and not Chrome/CrOS/something else known to pretend to be Gecko"). And it's the "TV" platform that is triggering the resolution crippling.

Annoyed that a website is doing something custom on right-click?
Did you expect the browser's context menu (Back, Reload, Save Page As, View Source etc.)?

Just hold the ⇧Shift key while clicking and Firefox will show the built-in context menu.

Oh my gosh I just figured it out.

Okay, all you open source evangelist people: your knee-jerk reaction to come at people who are talking about a problem with whatever commercial software they use and suggest Your Favorite Alternatives™ is exactly like saying "why don't you just buy a house?" to someone complaining about their landlord.

EDIT: There's more than one post here. Pick apart the analogy if you will but... beware you'll be proving the point.

I can finally reveal some research I've been involved with over the past year or so.

We (@redford, @mrtick and I) have reverse engineered the PLC code of NEWAG Impuls EMUs. These trains were locking up for arbitrary reasons after being serviced at third-party workshops. The manufacturer argued that this was because of malpractice by these workshops, and that they should be serviced by them instead of third parti
es.
