| valorie | wxl: it worked great in Falkon! | 00:28 |
|---|---|---|
| valorie | and they are working on html5 | 00:28 |
| wxl | valorie: waiiiiiiiit you're already using it on the server? i didn't think they were ready? | 00:29 |
| valorie | using it from Clive's ppa | 00:30 |
| valorie | working SUPER | 00:30 |
| valorie | I hardly use chrome anymore | 00:30 |
| valorie | and FF not at all | 00:30 |
| wxl | oh i grok that you were using falkon and that it works and that's cool. i was asking about the server side and html5. | 00:31 |
| valorie | oh, I dunno | 00:31 |
| valorie | Just Works | 00:31 |
| wxl | i stopped using chrome a while back. and i've been happy with firefox. you no likey? | 00:31 |
| valorie | falkon never asked about flash | 00:31 |
| wxl | i'm super paranoid about the recent flash CVE | 00:31 |
| valorie | I was using ff for some sites that wouldn't work anywhere else | 00:32 |
| valorie | genealogy sites | 00:32 |
| valorie | now that they do, ciao everything else | 00:32 |
| wxl | and that's mainly because falkon Just Works and it's KDE/Qt so you don't need to bother with Firefox's weird widgets? | 00:35 |
| valorie | yes | 00:35 |
| valorie | I haven't added anything | 00:35 |
| valorie | never see ads | 00:35 |
| valorie | etc | 00:35 |
| wxl | nice | 00:35 |
| valorie | almost retro in that way | 00:36 |
| valorie | when the web Just Worked | 00:36 |
| wxl | :) | 00:36 |
| wxl | well when the most complicated thing it had to render was blinking text and animated banners.. XD | 00:36 |
| wxl | *I* remember those days | 00:36 |
| wxl | Netscape! | 00:37 |
| valorie | I'm old so I remember those halcyon days | 00:37 |
| valorie | before blink even | 00:37 |
| valorie | or banners | 00:37 |
| valorie | or ads, or spam | 00:37 |
| valorie | of course it was text only, and slow | 00:37 |
| valorie | but so what | 00:37 |
| valorie | it worked | 00:37 |
| wxl | wait | 00:39 |
| wxl | what about | 00:39 |
| wxl | gopher? | 00:39 |
| valorie | I've used it | 00:39 |
| valorie | but I've never been good with raw databases | 00:39 |
| valorie | and I believe that's what its primary purpose was | 00:39 |
| valorie | I sorta stuck to stuff I was interested in which back then was mostly genealogy | 00:40 |
| valorie | and that was early lists and news | 00:40 |
| valorie | fidonet before that..... | 00:41 |
| valorie | which was mostly newsgroups | 00:41 |
| valorie | and a few BBSs | 00:41 |
| valorie | google groups is not the same as the good old days | 00:43 |
| valorie | but there is better stuff now, so I don't miss it | 00:43 |
| valorie | it was fun while it lasted | 00:44 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <acheronuk> Marius Nestor has been asking me about snaps by default/adoption for 18.04 | 09:15 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <acheronuk> all I could say is nothing is set yet, and we would have the same issues as Neon | 09:15 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <acheronuk> This is something we should probably discuss properly in next BBB meeting, as well as on lists | 09:16 |
| acheronuk | http://news.softpedia.com/news/snaps-are-coming-to-ubuntu-18-04-by-default-kubuntu-could-also-adopt-them-518614.shtml | 09:40 |
