#XUL en cours.
https://labomedia.org/du-8-au-12-avril-2025-minixul2025-au-108/
Au 108 rue de Bourgogne à Orléans.
Demain et samedi, performances et concerts.
(oui ya un bar).
@reiver@mastodon.socialxul, programming
I miss using XUL to create UIs.
There were aspects of it that made UIs somewhat independent of the programming-language you were using.
(Well, assuming you didn't consider XUL to be a programming-language.)
So, with a permanent #fediverse home, here's the short #introduction again done two instances ago on what #PaleMoon is all about:
We are one of the first projects out there to have forked from #Firefox / #Mozilla. We've started as a humble rebuild aiming to bring an optimized Firefox, but we've soon evolved into a full-fledged fork (hard fork if you will) which kept what we believe were the good stuff that Mozilla axed and didn't deserve axing, like #XUL (which we believe is the most powerful language for extending a browser, up to its internals), #RSS, and <style scoped>, and kept out the ones that we believe were not good for our userbase (like Pocket, the LLM cruft, and if you're old enough, Australis!). We aim to keep evolving this mature platform in order to keep up with the latest feature additions to the web as we reasonably can (even though we believe they're becoming increasingly silly) while, if possible and necessary, adding up some of our own. All of that, as an independent effort supported primarily by nothing else but you: the users!

www.palemoon.orgAs our first post, let me, the operator of this account write a short #introduction of what this #browser is: we are one of the first projects out there to have forked from #Firefox / #Mozilla. We've started as a humble rebuild aiming to bring an optimized Firefox, but we've soon evolved into a full-fledged fork (hard fork if you will) which kept what we believe were the good stuff that Mozilla axed and didn't deserve axing, like #XUL (which we believe is the most powerful language for extending a browser, up to its internals), #RSS, and <style scoped>, and kept out the ones that we believe were not good for our userbase (like Pocket, the LLM cruft, and if you're old enough, Australis!). We aim to keep evolving this mature platform in order to keep up with the latest feature additions to the web as we reasonably can (even though we believe they're becoming increasingly silly) while, if possible and necessary, adding up some of our own. All of that, as an independent effort supported primarily by nothing else but you: the users!
I would love to explain more, but it would take too long to write here, so we suggest exploring our website if you want to learn more!

Software Engineering DailyThere is no Monday. Only Sunday!
#XUL
Plus. You might have tomorrow off.
I don't know how I got that #FileCoffee #FileServer to work before. Failing, presently. #Docker is not my forte, and that's prob a requisite. Not difficult, but i just up'd to Debian Testing, and ... don't probably do that, unless you are crazy.
3 diff dev servers here. and blah, blah. wrong one.
Have a good #Sunday
Mima-sama @mima@makai.chaotic.ninjaPermission-based systems are bad. See #XUL getting replaced by #WebExtensions for example. It didn't stop #malware from getting into the #browser or the extension store. On the contrary, the malware problem only got worse after the complete replacement of XUL extensions, which is often disparaged as "insecure" because it allowed users to pretty much change how their browser fundamentally works.
Who knew that distrusting your users and not giving them control leads to more malicious software and user #security being broken more often. :seija_coffee:

mamot.fr Mima-sama @mima@makai.chaotic.ninjaThe only reason I even know about #RDF is because of #XUL extensions where you need an install.rdf included in the XPI archive. But yeah it's pretty much irrelevant today. :satsuki_sadge:
RE: https://blob.cat/objects/f3228474-736c-4f0b-a13a-f217638ff5a8
never happened. RDF died and turned in to mulch. then it got reinvented, partly, by facbook and twitter as ways to keep you in the doomscroll instead of as ways for your computer to help you understand the page. 🇫
> connecting everything to everything
never happened. IP6 is still a fuck. we ran out of IP4. everything is firewalled. nobody SIPs to each other. you just go to zuckbook and get the corporate moderated experience. or discord and get the furry-chinese corporate moderated experience. i can't actually fucking just call your phone.
> routing around censorship
it actually doesn't. we centralized around pirate hubs and shit. and they just sued those. "be in russia" isn't protection.
> separation of content and style
absolutely failed that one up the ass.
it is painful to know that everything greybeards did, was completely colonized
then implements modern features in Safari/Webkit really slowly
That's good actually, because you #webdevs keep chasing the shiny new features #Chrome / #Chromium / #Blink is pushing to the #web like fucking fireflies, to the detriment of #webcompat with small #browsers like #PaleMoon, #Basilisk, and others based on #UXP / #Goanna / #XUL (like #SeaMonkey).
As someone who used to work actively in Pale Moon's development, I am witness to a website that almost broke its #compatibility with my #browser but was stopped because the new feature it wanted to require was not yet available in an old #Safari / #WebKit version they're still supporting.
So yes, from my point of view, #Apple does more to support the #openweb than #Mozilla and #Firefox (which always follows Chrome whenever it's not controversial) does, even if it didn't intend to. And to be clear, I am not even an Apple fanboy. The only Apple device I own is this ancient 1st generation of the iPad mini. I don't like their ecosystem.
So it's not a bad take. It's the reality we independent desktop browser developers see in #webdev.

Just archived my most successful project on #github (23 
).
https://github.com/precz/wpaana
This method of creating native applications was not working any more as #firefox stopped supporting #XUL applications. Progressive Web Apps plugin for Firefox is a better solution that should be used instead. There is no point for further development and fixing.
