Dear browser makers, please fix LCH. The promise of LCH was that the L could be trusted: no matter what the hue is, the lightness would always be the same perceived lightness. In your current implementations this is completely broken. It’s even worse than HSL

Strange #bug with both #Firefox and #Chromium on #Debian testing: The external USB #microphone seems not to work anymore in a #BigBlueButton or other browser based video conferences. Not a bad thing, because now I can easily pretend to be dead during a meeting. It used to work before upgrading from #bookworm to #trixie. Still investigating.

The recording of my BlinkOn 20 lightning talk is now up at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRRjScsB1PI.

It is frustrating how hostile #Google has become towards #privacy.

Today I find that the extensions 'Forget about this site' and 'uBlock Origin' have stopped working in #Chromium because "they don't follow best practices for Chrome extensions".

The obvious truth is that they are extensions that promote privacy, which is directly against the business interests of the #surveillance industry.

This is me, standing outside someone's proverbial office window, holding up a boom box, begging people who work on #Chromium audio features to fix the bug where if you pause a video (whether in-tab or floating) and switch windows, the volume gradually inches up from whatever you set

It is so jarring to start playing a video again and it blows out your ears/speakers/whatever, and I've experienced this across multiple Chromium browsers - Opera GX (I know, leave me alone) and now @Vivaldi

Seems it's time. Are there any #chromium or #chrome derivatives which will still support #ublock origin, or do I really need to start migrating to #firefox?

I did completely get rid of Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird on my personal systems now.

Firefox was my main browser for many years and I used it since Netscape transformed into OSS Firefox 20 years ago.

But the Mozilla foundation nowadays doesn't do a good job in maintaining the software. Bad political choices, focus on what I consider the wrong priorities and falling more and more behind on the techical details.

I moved to the Chromium based Vivaldi browser on all my systems. It's snappier, faster and way more reliable. Hardware acceleration does work out of the box under Linux and E-Mail is already built-in (although, I more often use KMail by KDE for that).

I'm highly satisfied with Vivaldi after using it for the past 6 months and never looked back.

So in chromium 135 I'm finally seeing V2 (and by extension ublock origin) disabled.

I switched to ublock origin lite, and after a few days of usage I haven't actually noticed a difference, other than needing to manually configure aggressive filtering and also the missing ability to disable javascript for the site.

Anything in particular that works much worse in ublock origin lite compared to ublock origin?

It has been an interesting week for PC technical issues:

Stardew Valley suddenly couldn't connect online. I play this with my fiancee who lives in another country so it was particularly vexing. Turns out it was a Linux update to 'glibc', a rare update from them that knowlngly broke user-space (A Linux dev no-no). It actually broke Discord too but you didn't see that because Discord got a fix in place in a hurry.

And the Vivaldi browser developed a weird habit of opening KDE's shortcut page in Settings every time it was opened. The culprit here is Chromium, upon which Vivaldi is based, seemingly having introduced this bug in the recent update to v134.

Workarounds are now in place for both, soothing my sanity. ​​

Chromium now has initial, experimental support for the xdg-session-management #wayland protocol, which will start shipping in canary channel in the coming days. I've implemented and tested it against Mutter 48, the only compositor supporting it atm - also experimentally - since version 47.

Lol, I was right into thinking there was something "off" about #ZorinOS years ago when I was considering which #Linux distro to migrate away from #Windows. Shitty, reactionary decisions like this would turn me off so badly and seriously make me question their judgement in maintaining their distro. If they actually care about "privacy" and have issues with #Firefox (or rather, #Mozilla), something like #LibreWolf would've been a more natural choice rather than moving to a #Chromium based browser, as if #Google needs a stronger dominance in their web presence - let alone #Brave, one of the (objectively) shadiest options of them all.
