I blame it in big part on the WebDX community group, their absolutely useless "Baseline" guidelines, and on them allowing Apple to be part of that group and make decisions on what features are "ready" to use whilst being behind the only non-evergreen browser in 2026.

The "baseline" means nothing. The percentage in caniuse means nothing. The only number that matters is the number of Safari users stuck using a no longer supported Apple device that access your website. Of course Apple makes sure to hide usage stats of older devices.

Everyone complains about only having three browser engines out there, but I'll be happy to go down to two if that means freeing the world from Safari.

I think you can add add-ons for additional trackers, even private ones I think, but I've always just used the ones that qBittorrent comes with and I can find almost everything I look for.

If you're gonna go off-topic, I wanna join.

How absolutely terrible is the box where you write the emails in web Gmail? I get you need more features than what a simple provides, but how can a trillion dollar company make such an absolutely broken piece of crap as the most important part of one of their key products? You delete something and the cursor goes to the end of the email. You ctrl-z and the cursor goes before the first character of the email, not before modifying a string of a completely random length. Like a year ago, and for like a month, there was an area on the right side that didn't accept any clicks at all. Native keyboard shortcuts constantly violated.<p>We figured out WYSIWYG decades ago, how can it be this bad? I've resorted to writing my emails on a notepad app and pasting them when they are done. I thought it had to be an issue with some browser extensions or something, because I've never heard anyone else complaining about it, but no, it really is that bad.</p> </article> <article> <h1>New comment by Unai in "The Pirate Bay Remains Resilient, 20 Years After the Raid"</h1> <p>Unai — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 20:53:23 +0000</p> <p>I commented somewhere else already, but you can search directly from qBittorrent. Search by title, then filter by "Remux" or sort by size. Keep in mind tho that a blu-ray release must exist in the first place, and that some 4k blu-rays are just not very good to begin with (upscaling and what not).</p> </article> <article> <h1>New comment by Unai in "The Pirate Bay Remains Resilient, 20 Years After the Raid"</h1> <p>Unai — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 20:46:21 +0000</p> <p>I might be misremembering, but wasn't YIFY/YTS known for their awful quality ultra compressed releases?

Then a new tab will appear next to the main transfers one. You can (have to?) add search plugins, which is done from the same search tab (look for a button in the bottom right). And I think to remember you need to have Python installed for the search tab to work, but qBittorrent should prompt you automatically for it.<p>I might be misremembering something, so ask again if something I said didn't work or wasn't where I said.<p>Free extra tip: did you know qBittorrent has support for themes? I got a pretty clean dark theme one, but no way I can remember the name or where I found it.<p>I love qBittorrent.</p> </article> <article> <h1>New comment by Unai in "The Pirate Bay Remains Resilient, 20 Years After the Raid"</h1> <p>Unai — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 15:04:29 +0000</p> <p>I haven't visited a torrent site since I found out I could search for them from within qBittorrent.</p> </article> <article> <h1>New comment by Unai in "Spain blocks prediction markets Polymarket, Kalshi over lack of gambling licence"</h1> <p>Unai — Tue, 26 May 2026 17:40:53 +0000</p> <p>Not sure how you want me to respond to that.
