00:02 DaemonFC; MinceR: Mozilla is making upstream changes that are not just going to really hurt SeaMonkey but also Thunderbird.
00:02 DaemonFC; Probably the worst one is trying to drop the XUL <tree>.
00:02 DaemonFC; Thunderbird and SeaMonkey use it extensively.
00:02 *includeals (~includeal@a89-154-197-146.cpe.netcabo.pt) has joined #techrights
00:03 DaemonFC; There's also some changes that would require giving up the SeaMonkey Modern theme, and basically the entire theme engine. The only thing that would still work is "Default".
00:04 MinceR; what a surprise.
00:04 DaemonFC; So the future of SeaMonkey is that it's going to probably have to cherry pick code from Pale Moon and Waterfox.
00:04 DaemonFC; That or just give up and bring in all of Goanna and port the Suite on top of it.
00:05 MinceR; question is, when the last halfway usable "modern" web browser is killed off, will there be anyone to try and maintain a fork on the long term
00:05 MinceR; or we'll just set aside another PC full of malware just to run "modern" web applications
00:05 DaemonFC; I think that Borealis Communicator is probably close to what SeaMonkey will have to be.
00:05 *includeals has quit (Client Quit)
00:05 DaemonFC; One of the 10 SeaMonkey developers, Tobin, was booted out of Pale Moon.
00:05 MinceR; this is the first time i hear of Borealis Communicator
00:06 DaemonFC; And he's ported the Suite over to Goanna, but he says it's too unstable to use routinely. It's just an experiment.
00:06 DaemonFC; The SeaMonkey developers consider Pale Moon to be untouchable.
00:06 *includeals (~includeal@a89-154-197-146.cpe.netcabo.pt) has joined #techrights
00:07 DaemonFC; So right now they're picking code out of later releases of Gecko and also from Waterfox.

00:09 DaemonFC; Mozilla is tossing them from everything.
00:09 DaemonFC; The Wiki, Bugzilla, the revision control system....
00:10 DaemonFC; They don't want you to be able to use it and they hope SeaMonkey goes ahead and runs out of money and fails with all these added expenses.
00:11 DaemonFC; At first, Mozilla's position was that SeaMonkey would just be a continuation of the Mozilla Suite and part of the Mozilla organization.
00:11 DaemonFC; You could keep using it if you used the Suite and were happy with it.
00:12 DaemonFC; Then a few years went by and Mozilla got rid of XulRunner and made Gecko a component of Firefox, and then started destroying XUL itself.
00:12 DaemonFC; As part of destroying XUL, they began by just marking off a bunch of the APIs as "internal" and then setting Firefox to multi-process mode, and forcing everyone to use Chrome-style extensions.
00:13 DaemonFC; This forced SeaMonkey to fork Gecko.
00:13 MinceR; the "modernization" of mozilla
00:13 DaemonFC; Move functionality that was an extension to "internal" so it could use the private XUL stuff.
00:13 DaemonFC; Now Mozilla is throwing them off the infrastructure and telling them "good luck with that".
00:14 MinceR; from "take back the web" to "our way or the highway"
00:14 DaemonFC; They did this part with only about a month's warning, so now there's a mad dash to get everything over somewhere quickly before Mozilla deletes it.
00:14 DaemonFC; And manage the 2.53.18 release.
00:15 DaemonFC; The next thing will obviously be that we can't call it Gecko because it's a trademark of VERIZON, which licenses it to MOZILLA.
00:15 DaemonFC; Mozilla doesn't own the Gecko trademark. AOL kept it and was then bought by Verizon.
00:16 DaemonFC; So the trademark for Mozilla's Web engine is owned by an evil megacorporation that sells smartphones to people.
00:16 MinceR; lol
00:16 DaemonFC; And Netscape the incorporated company still exists. It was bought by Microsoft to be torn down for patents and then sold to Facebook.
00:17 DaemonFC; Mozilla had to ask AOL for permission to rewrite the Mozilla Public License and move Mozilla's code to that license.
00:17 DaemonFC; The original MPLs, 1.0 and 1.1, have a clause that gives Facebook the right to make all of the code proprietary.
00:18 DaemonFC; Because it says Netscape can make proprietary versions of the code and Facebook owns Netscape
00:19 DaemonFC; After Blake Ross left Mozilla after starting this idiotic Firefox browser, he landed a job at Facebook.
00:19 DaemonFC; Dave Hyatt, who helped him with that, went to Apple.
00:19 DaemonFC; Mozilla has always tended to be some sort of a springboard to pad a resume so you can go work for GAFAM.
00:19 DaemonFC; Directly.

02:02 TR Bot; Bad" Ms (TV Episode 2010) - Giancarlo Esposito as Gus Fring - IMDb
02:02 DaemonFC; Gus Fring : What does a man do Walter? A man provides for his family.
02:02 DaemonFC; Gus Fring : And a man, a man provides. And he does it even when he's not appreciated, or respected, or even loved. He simply bears up and he does it. Because he's a man.
02:08 DaemonFC; I like how they gave this line to Gus Fring.
02:08 DaemonFC; Who runs a meth cartel.
02:09 DaemonFC; The concepts of men and women and the role of a man as a protector and a provider have been destroyed by the liberal propaganda.
02:09 DaemonFC; They want to destroy the traditional family roles.
02:09 DaemonFC; This isn't actually an issue of some people being gay or not wanting to have kids, which is fine.
02:09 DaemonFC; It's this idea that the state should take the place of a man, as a provider and a protector.
02:10 DaemonFC; That a woman's only job is to get pregnant and deliver future "workers".
02:10 DaemonFC; And in some sense, the government forces every man who pays taxes to "marry them".
02:10 DaemonFC; It's an insult to men and it's an insult to women.
02:11 DaemonFC; Women deserve better than to live in some crack den that takes Section 8 vouchers because the government has ruined people's living standard and brainwashed her into thinking she doesn't need the father in the house.
02:12 MinceR; ah yes, the traditional hallowed roles where almost everyone is a slave
02:12 MinceR; so valuable.
02:12 DaemonFC; Men deserve better than a court system that tells women "Just run him out of the house and we'll dock his pay for kids he never sees."
02:12 MinceR; like almost everything else humans ever came up with
02:13 DaemonFC; MinceR: Basically, flooding the workforce with women and signing "free trade" treaties broke everyone down.
02:13 MinceR; and you'll fight for it too because someone else is designated to be in an even worse position than yourself
02:13 DaemonFC; You're a two job no income household now, just to get by.
02:13 MinceR; back then it wasn't just to get by
02:14 DaemonFC; And you'll smile about it and set off fireworks on the fourth of July. And when you do that, the police will come around. Because the government that oppresses you passed a law celebrating itself on a day and then banned you from actually celebrating it.
02:16 MinceR; fun
02:16 DaemonFC; MinceR: Then when someone sets off an M80 and blows their ass off doing it anyway, because laws don't actually work, the doctor at the hospital has to spend time charting everything and running unnecessary tests, so the guy doesn't spend the rest of his life living off her malpractice insurance.

04:33 schestowitz; at least there is income
04:33 DaemonFC; I told him not to call in because they could end up scheduling him a 4 hour shift at some point.
04:33 schestowitz; but yes, things deteriorate
04:33 DaemonFC; Then he can call in.
04:33 DaemonFC; Just throw 4 PTO hours at them and take the whole day.
04:33 schestowitz; 4 hours is bad
04:34 schestowitz; i did those in my teens a few times
04:34 DaemonFC; Yeah he got one of those several weeks ago.
04:34 DaemonFC; Just call in and use the sick time.
04:34 schestowitz; time to dress up and commute is... almost 2 hours
04:34 DaemonFC; He has a lot of sick time.
04:34 schestowitz; so it's like you do 6 hours for 4
04:34 DaemonFC; If they throw a 4 hour shift at you once every few months, just take a sick day.
04:34 schestowitz; nice hack
04:35 DaemonFC; I'm not spending gas or bus fare for this fucking crap.

04:35 DaemonFC; schestowitz I just got a $670 check in the mail today.
04:35 schestowitz; settlement?
04:35 DaemonFC; Because that insurance company we had when John got mugged took my facial scan.
04:36 DaemonFC; Yep.
04:36 DaemonFC; They used "AI" to tell if I was telling them the truth or not.
04:36 DaemonFC; I don't know how that works.
04:36 schestowitz; HEY HI, smile
04:36 DaemonFC; Probably some lunacy they feed investors.
04:36 DaemonFC; They agreed to delete it and pay me.
04:36 schestowitz; yes, it is
04:36 schestowitz; what next?
04:36 schestowitz; lie detection by stool test?
04:37 DaemonFC; I had to follow the cat around today waiting for her to take a shit.
04:37 DaemonFC; That was fun.
04:37 DaemonFC; The vet wanted a sample. Said it was included in the fee for the blood work.
04:37 DaemonFC; So I wanted to drop it off while I was there getting the cat's pills anyway.
04:37 DaemonFC; Save the gas of having to run back just for that.
04:37 schestowitz; give that to mandy
04:37 schestowitz; to give to the store manager
04:38 DaemonFC; The cat shit?
04:38 DaemonFC; LOL
04:38 schestowitz; "this si what i think of this job!"
04:38 DaemonFC; That's about the size of it.
04:38 schestowitz; 4-bo
04:38 schestowitz; 4-hour stool
04:38 DaemonFC; I would support him in looking for another one except you start out with nothing.
04:38 DaemonFC; You know, new job.
04:38 DaemonFC; You don't get anything. No PTO. Nothing.
04:38 schestowitz; psydruid mentioned 2 articles earlier
04:39 DaemonFC; Then if it's for Bezos......He said he wanted to work at Amazon.
04:39 schestowitz; or one anecdote, one article
04:39 DaemonFC; I told him no you really don't.

04:39 *DaemonFC has kicked ZedNedTed from #techrights (ZedNedTed)
04:39 schestowitz; 1) you get a really bad job where people work overtime and you need to compete with them
04:39 schestowitz; 2) you get none at all where it suits your skillset
04:40 DaemonFC; schestowitz I don't think Walmart gets that while they squeeze me it's forcing me to watch my wallet when it comes to shopping there.
04:40 schestowitz; matt gulag just called me "cheap ass jew"
04:40 schestowitz; i guess he thinks the same of rms
04:40 DaemonFC; I think I've actually figured out ways to scrounge up $20-30 this month that I probably would have just bought some product there if they weren't being so tightfisted with Mandy's hours.
04:41 schestowitz; matt's big mouth is a gift that keepsm giving
04:41 DaemonFC; schestowitz Then there's the oil and filter for the car, right?
04:41 DaemonFC; Normally I just buy regular oil and filters. This time I bought extended drain stuff.
04:42 DaemonFC; Won't be back getting any more supplies from them for a couple years. (I bought some supplies for next year's oil change too.)
04:42 schestowitz; what % of the money goes on the car?
04:42 schestowitz; seems steep, but i know public transport is not good there
04:42 DaemonFC; Too much.
04:42 schestowitz; by desihgn
04:42 schestowitz; "lobbying"
04:42 DaemonFC; So it can rattle itself apart trying to get him to a four hour shift? Nope.
04:42 schestowitz; the trains here were privatised, so prices soared too
04:42 schestowitz; cheaper to travel domestically by plane than by train (some times/routes)
04:43 DaemonFC; schestowitz I'm not going to spend $7 in gas driving over every pothole in town so he can work four hours and come home.
04:43 psydruid; I've never taken a train in the UK
04:43 DaemonFC; Or I can take a nap in the car because I don't want to go home to turn right back around.
04:44 DaemonFC; schestowitz It does make a nice "hack". Everyone else calls off because they feel like it on a day where there were 8 hours on the board.

04:44 DaemonFC; Either they run out of PTO and lose the job real fast or they start HAVING to come in on the half days to keep from getting that last point.
04:45 DaemonFC; I told Mandy to just show a little self-control and when they start jacking him around real bad again, he'll have the PTO to call in and take the whole day.
04:46 schestowitz; makes sense
04:46 schestowitz; good idea
04:47 DaemonFC; The 5.5-6 hour days, I give him bus fare.
04:47 schestowitz; what comes after this?
04:47 DaemonFC; The bus can take him back and take the beating my car didn't.
04:47 schestowitz; might walmart plan to shut down the storee?
04:47 schestowitz; like it did further douth?
04:47 DaemonFC; It's certainly possible.
04:47 schestowitz; mayb e a gradual exit strategy
04:48 DaemonFC; Chicago stores were gangrenous because of the whole "I'm taking this and it's mine now and have fun with the arson." crowd especially on the south side, and the democrat prosecutor.
04:48 DaemonFC; So they lopped those off first.
04:48 DaemonFC; But who knows where it ends, Roy>?

04:49 schestowitz; we sometimes look at the local asda

04:49 DaemonFC; schestowitz About all I buy anymore is food, rent, medical care, and car repairs.

04:51 schestowitz; we will cover that as well... soon
04:51 DaemonFC; schestowitz You might consider Jobseeker's Allowance though.
04:51 DaemonFC; You paid into it.
04:51 schestowitz; no need, we're well
04:51 schestowitz; it's matt who runs out
04:51 DaemonFC; There's a lot of people in America that don't need another job and take it anyway.
04:51 schestowitz; projection tactics

04:52 DaemonFC; To satisfy the quota for the week.
04:52 schestowitz; going to repost your post in baronhk
04:52 schestowitz; going to record 2 videos later
04:52 DaemonFC; The one about Wine and Wayland?
04:52 schestowitz; delayed that (was supposed to be last night)... became very tired all of a suddent
04:52 DaemonFC; Wine and Wayland don't get along well even on Fedora and GNOME.
04:52 DaemonFC; And that's the latest builds of the stack.
04:53 schestowitz; yes, wayland is extra trouble
04:53 DaemonFC; So they can't just blame "old versions in openSUSE Leap".
04:53 schestowitz; "would you like the experiment thing?"
04:53 schestowitz; "NO!"
04:54 DaemonFC; It's guaranteed that we have a Matt in here reading this all in real time.
04:54 DaemonFC; He's become obsessed to the point of drug-induced mental illness.
04:54 DaemonFC; There's really no other explanation for not sleeping and being here just to harass all the time.
04:55 schestowitz; maybe i'll just do 4 video today, was planning 2 yesterday and 2 today ... one is about wayland
04:55 schestowitz; DaemonFC: he is fighting for survival now
04:55 DaemonFC; forkbombe denies that it's him. As long as he doesn't do anything overtly hostile I'm not going to take action.
04:55 schestowitz; forkbombe never speaks
04:55 schestowitz; it's just a pawn of his
04:55 DaemonFC; He PM'd me.

04:57 schestowitz; ok, thanks for sharing
04:57 schestowitz; anyway, matt and ISIS are being a massive liability to Tor
04:57 schestowitz; not just to themselves
04:57 DaemonFC; Okay, I ripped the AAC dlls out of Winamp 5.66 to take a look at them.
04:57 schestowitz; and maybe Berkeley
04:57 *forkbombe waves
04:57 schestowitz; matt's overt racism is not in line with campus policies, even for STUDENTS
04:57 DaemonFC; It does behave differently than FDK-AAC even though they're both from the same outfit.
04:58 forkbombe; Hi. Apologies for the lurkin'.
04:58 DaemonFC; I'm not sure why foobar2000 doesn't support EXEs built out of FDK, which are floating around out there.
04:58 DaemonFC; It's open source, but.....the license includes a patent THREAT.
04:59 schestowitz; DaemonFC: the ewayland video will be long
04:59 schestowitz; and the text also
04:59 schestowitz; i have a lot to say
04:59 DaemonFC; So it's not the ideal license, but better than some blob from Winamp.
04:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
04:59 schestowitz; hence, i did not start recording
04:59 schestowitz; it would take very long
04:59 schestowitz; and i still learn how to use all the buttons on the new mic
04:59 DaemonFC; schestowitz SeaMonkey might outlive Mozilla.
04:59 schestowitz; haha, that wouldbe something
05:00 DaemonFC; There's some chatter about being more open about wanting donations from the user.
05:00 schestowitz; like netscape and phoenix
05:00 DaemonFC; Like a message on first start or maybe on the home page.
05:00 schestowitz; or libreoffice
05:00 schestowitz; but the WWW is changing
05:00 schestowitz; so it'll get more hostile towards non-Gulaged browsers
05:00 schestowitz; which means it's like Adobe Flash
05:00 schestowitz; and we need to lay it aside
05:00 schestowitz; over time
05:01 schestowitz; then:
05:01 DaemonFC; If Mozilla continues to lose 1.4 million users per month they will be out of users in 10.7 years. But they'll cease to be viable long before that.
05:01 schestowitz; "we have a web site"
05:01 DaemonFC; Lost users mean lost revenue.
05:01 schestowitz; "go get info there
05:01 schestowitz; now:
05:01 DaemonFC; Lost revenue means firing people.
05:01 schestowitz; "we have a web address
05:01 DaemonFC; Firing people means no longer being able to maintain the product.
05:01 schestowitz; "go load our blobs from there and run them on your machine"
05:01 DaemonFC; Not maintaining the product means losing users. Which is lost revenue. Which is firing people.
05:02 DaemonFC; Honestly, Mozilla is not sustainable for even 5 years at the current rate of user loss.
05:02 DaemonFC; It's coming down hard and fast.
05:02 psydruid; I think Mozilla will be gone long before that
05:02 schestowitz; mozilla is circling down the drain
05:02 schestowitz; look who they hire
05:02 psydruid; when critical mass is lost it will simply implode
05:02 schestowitz; total losers from twitter and db
05:03 schestowitz; not accomplished people
05:03 schestowitz; *dhb
05:03 DaemonFC; They need to apologize publicly and stop funding this political crap and side projects that they basically spend money on and end up giving away to Microsoft and Google for free.
05:03 schestowitz; *db -> db
05:03 schestowitz; *db -> FB
05:03 psydruid; as it just won't work on the web anymore
05:03 schestowitz; many from FB
05:03 schestowitz; people with "B2B" background
05:03 DaemonFC; Chasing SeaMonkey off just means that people like me are pissed.
05:03 schestowitz; what BROWSERS needs SPAMMERS as staff????
05:04 DaemonFC; Vivaldi isn't really spamming people. It's like Brave though.
05:04 DaemonFC; They chose Chromium and now they're along for the ride.
05:04 DaemonFC; They should have based their work on top of Firefox.
05:05 DaemonFC; They can disable maybe the very worst bits of Chromium, but they can't fundamentally make any difference to the Web at the platform level.
05:05 DaemonFC; It's like, they can turn off FLoC and maybe patch out WEI.
05:06 schestowitz; re "The GNOME, GTK, and Wayland people are all IBM Red Hat types who defame people who report bugs, threaten them with the CoC, and then accuse them of being on meth and cover up their own CoC violations with network bans.
05:06 schestowitz; "
05:06 DaemonFC; But the thing is, nobody at this point aside from some search partners, even knows who is a vivaldi user.
05:06 DaemonFC; Brave says it's Chrome as well.
05:06 schestowitz; i know someone who worked at red hat and was transphobic
05:06 schestowitz; he said,
05:06 DaemonFC; We have no idea how many people are on Vivaldi and Brave.
05:06 psydruid; when the web depends on Chrome/ium it will just be a gulagweb
05:06 schestowitz; you should turn down bug reports from transphobes
05:06 schestowitz; (i.e. him)
05:07 psydruid; and wither away as no one is interested in some proprietary web knockoff

05:11 schestowitz; and minutes ago yell at me "you fucking cheap ass jew"
05:11 schestowitz; matt, you are finished
05:11 DaemonFC; This is some old school hacker stuff. The Web is dead to people like this.
05:12 schestowitz; geemini is great

05:12 schestowitz; thew web is VM
05:12 schestowitz; not all sites
05:12 schestowitz; but over time they bloat up to that
05:13 jrmu; does wayland currently suffer from many bugs/compatibility issues?
05:13 schestowitz; like adobe,t they offload native toolkits onto a "browser"
05:13 schestowitz; and the browser gets massive
05:13 jrmu; when trying to run x11 apps. I've never used wayland so have no idea
05:16 schestowitz; DaemonFC: needs replaced
05:16 schestowitz; is that quoting some site?

05:17 schestowitz; "In fact, their refusal to prioritize the desktop experience was basically the only reason Mandrake Linux came about. "

07:47 DaemonFC; Who knows what else. Maybe I'll look into it.
07:50 DaemonFC; Tor's admission that WASMs add attack footprint _on top of_ JavaScript kind of plays with the fact that I watch the Mozilla security reports each months and ever since WASMs were added, there's been at least a dozen CVEs, most of them High or Critical, per year, related only to WASMs.

22:15 DaemonFC; schestowitz I'm writing more about active content and Tor Browser.
22:16 DaemonFC; "It seems the Tor Project agrees that WASMs are a special danger that adds a significant amount of attack surface to the browser, beyond what JavaScript alone is capable of, and it's not really that important.
22:16 DaemonFC; So I've set my copy of the Tor Browser to the safer setting. It's not what I'd like (static content Web sites), but it's probably the best you can do and have the Web as it is work at all.
22:16 DaemonFC; They should move the slider closer to the user interface so the user can dial it up and down faster, and set it to Safest if they want to run silent, run deep for a while, and not take chances on scripts and stuff on .onion sites.
22:16 DaemonFC; Best practices for .onion sites are to remain accessible to users who can only look at static content.
22:16 DaemonFC; The way that people typically get unmasked on Tor is partially "active content" being on in the browser, and partially that the police will set up a site that requires logging in.
22:16 DaemonFC; Then the court issues a broad warrant that authorizes a "Network Investigative Technique" or a NIT, which is just fancy talk for "You are authorized to attack every user who sets up an account and attempt to plant malware on the machine.""
22:17 DaemonFC; "Basically, interacting with a site like this adds you to the warrant's scope, so sites that require logging in are a big red flag that "there's a reason why"."

22:58 *mib_7lqt92 (~481238e5@q8ban9vyag5t6.irc) has joined #techrights
22:59 DaemonFC; I set the room so that users without at least +v can't see join and part messages.
22:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
22:59 DaemonFC; So now if we take away +v from the bot that does the logging, it won't see Matt's bullshit and log it.
23:00 DaemonFC; This won't require and massive changes that break anything, and then we can just individually set our clients to ignore JOIN PART QUIT.
23:00 jrmu; by the way, are you on OFTC perhaps? Is that network ok for you?

23:02 MinceR; DaemonFC: ask schestowitz
23:03 MinceR; he uses a whole bunch of computers at the same time and probably only one of them for logging
23:03 DaemonFC; Yeah, I removed +v from most of them.
23:03 DaemonFC; He can set the ones he needs to use it if he wants.
23:04 DaemonFC; MinceR: Can you set the other channels to +C and +u please?
23:04 DaemonFC; It can't hurt anything.
23:04 MinceR; i'm not sure what the point is
23:04 DaemonFC; It will definitely shush his CTCP crap.
23:04 MinceR; i haven't seen anyone send CTCP to channels other than ACTION
23:04 DaemonFC; He sent me a bunch the other day.
23:05 MinceR; and i'm not clear what we accomplish by hiding JOIN/PART/QUIT from people who can't talk
23:05 MinceR; he sent them to you directly
23:05 MinceR; a channel mode doesn't affect that
23:05 DaemonFC; If the logbot doesn't need to speak.
23:05 DaemonFC; Then it won't see the JOIN PART QUIT.
23:05 MinceR; if Roy doesn't want join/part/quit in logs, he can filter them out
23:05 DaemonFC; And his messages and spew won't make it to the logs that get posted.
23:06 DaemonFC; That seems like a lot of work when you could just go +u and then take +v away from just the log bot.
23:06 DaemonFC; What Matt wants is attention.

23:24 DaemonFC; Since Reddit is rate limiting users of the API now to interfere with libreddit, I only load reddit in LibreWolf, which forgets all of their cookies and site data when you close it, blocking as many domains as possible from scripting while being able to read it, I have cut off WASM access to white listed sites on NoScript, and I have installed Old Reddit Redirect.

23:25 DaemonFC; I liked Netscape 4 the HIG, it was terrific.
23:26 DaemonFC; Some of Netscape's proposals were good, technically, for the Web platform, but they threw them all in Netscape 4 without seeing if they would be adopted, and when they weren't, they quickly wrote hacks like "Take CSS Level 1 and implement crashy partial support by having the rendering engine run them as JavaScript Style Sheets.".
23:27 DaemonFC; This meant disabling JavaScript also turned off CSS.
23:27 DaemonFC; The way they implemented it, it wasn't considered privileged browser stuff, it was considered "Web Content" at the translation level.
23:29 DaemonFC; They chucked the Calendar because they didn't renew their license to ship it, very late in the 4.7 branch of Communicator. So I reversed that by plucking the JAR out of the last version that had it and planting it in the newer versions, through 4.8.
23:31 DaemonFC; I'm actually, sadly, used to hacking browsers up to be less shitty.
23:31 DaemonFC; Had to do it since the 90s. Doesn't appear to be getting better.
