That proposal has existed for 4 years, it hasn't gone anywhere yet.

I wish browsers also supported directly running typescript files.

New comment by xPaw in "Why is GitHub UI getting slower?"

xPaw — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 16:22:12 +0000

Githubs performance has been rapidly degrading ever since they started rewriting everything in React.

It's basically impossible to view diffs now because they often fail to load, render correctly, or just are incredibly slow.

Slow IO is why I still use wsl1.

You don't need to convert querySelectorAll to an array, you can directly iterate it, or use forEach.

New comment by xPaw in "Cloudflare Fonts: enhancing website font privacy and speed"

xPaw — Mon, 25 Sep 2023 13:27:04 +0000

> With Cloudflare Fonts enabled, you are able to see within your Network Tab that font files are now loaded from your own hostname from the /cf-fonts path

Is there a particular reason why is it not using /cdn-cgi/ prefix?

This is a good move for the secure-by-default move.

In The Lounge IRC client, we've also opted to this approach years ago, where secure connections show no icon, and insecure connections show an insecure icon.

New comment by xPaw in "Firefox Android now supports Tampermonkey"

xPaw — Fri, 17 Feb 2023 09:02:53 +0000

It really is bizzare, old Firefox used to support all addons, then they shipped a new version and only allowed like 10 addons, and to this day they don't allow any more. It's already been years.

I know my addon works fine on mobile, but they provide no means of specifying that*. I tried to email them for it to become "recommended" but never heard back.

The fact that they allow tampermonkey which allows any kind of script just adds insult to the injury.

* when uploading a new version, it does ask to specify which Firefox desktop/android versions are supported, but this existed before the new Firefox and doesn't do anything.

Games gifted to the bot are used to gain access to some extra info.

I do get game gifts to my personal account from time to time.
