Is this a heaven you really want to go to?

To answer this question, select all of the bridges from this captha, then watch these three short 30-second ads.

Then you would know you are in hell - not heaven - and the devil is talking to you.

"But nooo don't pull out qBittorrent what are you doing it's bad for the economy!!!1!!"

I just spoof the browser agent. They rarely actually need stuff your browser doesn’t support.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Correct, idk my assumption has always been that they skip testing the site with Gecko out of laziness and so disable it entirely

same but then i get sent to captcha hell

what on earth is that preview image?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

whut

That is NOT what it's supposed to be, it seems to only be goofy on kbin.social, here's what the preview looks like on lemmy: label

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

oh yeah, the image works fine when I open it, but kbin gets wacky previews from some sites.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'm looking at some of my posts across multiple Kbin instances and they look crazy haha

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Weirdly it looks fine to me on kbin social, but I don't get the joke :(

Looking at two different Kbin instances it looks like these two images:

Heaven says “your browser is not supported”? Funny because of the frustration of using non-Chromium browsers on certain websites.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I've still not seen that message for a decade and I use Firefox 90+% of the time

Safari isn't chromium though?

Mac users have enough money and it's close enough to Chrome for businesses to care

So? Chromium and Chromium based browsers (and V8) use blink nowadays.

Webdevs are all lazy MacOS users and Apple fanboys so Safari gets supported disproportionately /hj

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

/hj is a tone indicator meaning half-joking, some of these are rarely used but this is a good list of them

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I see. I only was aware of /jk and /s

Thanks for the list.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

/blahåj /s

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, like Nia said it stands for Half Joking!

Basically, I was saying Safari gets disproportionately well supported because a lot of web developers macOS, and although I do think this is true in part, it's also partially just a joke.

Simpler said, don't take it too serious, but there is a core of truth in it, for me.

Someday, school stuff like proctortrack will work with Firefox.... someday..

Cross-platform web™ when platform isn't chrome on windows

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

What is this "firefox" you speak of? Is it some sort of chrome addon, like my 45 convert to pdf addons?
