My #Zstandard decompression browser test pages now actually works in Chromium and Firefox (with the right experimental flags enabled). Before today, the decompression test was accidentally double-compressed. Zstd is on the track to be enabled by default in Chromium. #WebDev https://www.daniel.priv.no/tools/zstd-browser-test/ Posted on Vivaldi Social on

@floccus Hi, the Getting Started guide does not say whether #Floccus can run at the same time as the browser’s built-in syncing service. Is this supported? How and why may it go wrong? Say, I wanted to install Floccus on Vivaldi and Firefox and also run Firefox Sync and Vivaldi Sync. I’m assuming this is a recipe for disaster, but the guide doesn’t say anything about it. 🙂 Posted on Vivaldi Social on

One of my home ISPs enabled #IPv6 services yesterday. I’ve not had IPv6 at home in 6,5 years when my two ISP options discontinued IPv6 support in the same month. Unfortunately, it was my slow non-symmetric backup provider that enabled IPv6 and not my main symmetric-gigabit speeds provider. I’ll probably need to turn off IPv6 on my end to keep routing through the much faster IPv4-only provider. 🤷♂️ Posted on Vivaldi Social on

I made a red/ketchup and yellow/mustard theme for Vivaldi, inspired by the glorious/hideous “Hot Dog Stand” theme for Windows 3.1. 🌭 Enjoy! The early 90s really was the glory days of user interface design. https://themes.vivaldi.net/themes/NBVJg5AjlKa Posted on Vivaldi Social on

The new #Reddit design is optimized for “engagement”. That is to say, it’s optimized to make sure that every task now requires at least one more page impression to complete. #enshittification Posted on Vivaldi Social on

I wanted to post some fun remarks about today being leap day and the Vivaldi Calendar client. Most users wouldn’t get the joke for another four years, though. 🗓️ #reoccurringEventsAreANightmare #iCal Posted on Vivaldi Social on

No one cares about issues like #email address internationalization (EAI) or international domain-name (IDN) support until their email client or service fails to deliver an important message. #i18n Posted on Vivaldi Social on

Energy-saving tech is, usually, the root of all difficult to diagnose hardware issues. I keep thinking, “Of course, this stuff has been properly tested and wouldn’t kill the reliability of my system!” Always start troubleshooting by disabling any and all energy-saving features throughout your system. #greenWashedTech #eWaste Posted on Vivaldi Social on

I’m receiving a steadily increasing flow of clearly large-language model (LLM) generated “personal” emails every week now. They waste more and more of my time. Is this the new normal? 📧 It’s mostly something somewhat related to something I’ve published in the last few years.I want to answer people and I can generally spot the LLM crap. However, they are getting notably more difficult to identify. It’s also incredibly annoying to learn it was an LLM all along when someone responds with some LLM fever dream within seconds of sending them a response. It almost always turns out to be SEO spam that eventually insists that I update an old article by linking to some “high-quality” LLM-generated garbage.I’ll soon need to use an LLM to respond on my behalf. 🙄 Posted on Vivaldi Social on

Dear web designers and online news organizations, please ensure your fonts are legible and scale well at all resolutions. Too many websites pick fancy ornamented fonts that look terrible unless you have a 4K display.I’m not complaining about serif fonts, but bad #WebFonts with poor legibility becoming the new normal. There are many serif fonts that look good on any okay display at all common resolutions. Unfortunately, modern web design seems to prefer low x-heights, overly thin lines, aggressive kerning, and pay no attention to how the fonts render on a typical Full HD or even 2K display.I almost want to ban all web designers from using 4K displays as their primary displays. That should put a stop to the downward trend. 📉 Posted on Vivaldi Social on
