i always do, but it's mostly to be facetious - i wouldn't be hugely surprised if people didn't know what i was talking about

Note that I said: “you look a bit more organized than small subs”, and that’s not a very high bar, hehe :P.

oi! and i thought you were nice

More seriously, I thought you were related to reddit’s Imaginary Network, which is huge and with some big power-users.

nope, not at all. they're just the only subs i still follow by rss, and no-one else was making them here so i took up that mantle. and now i have 7 imaginary communities... and there are at least 2 more that i want to exist, so i'm hoping someone makes them soon

yeah, but it's not the original dev [team?]

if i fork firefox into a gemini browser and call it "firefox for gemini", i don't think mozilla would be over the moon

personally, i wouldn't

but maybe i'm biased

and opened again on the 26^th^

i personally think it's sacrificed productivity in favour of hideous pastel vomit, but i realise that's just my opinion.

It was pushed out as an update yesterday a few hours after the initial open beta launch. Make sure yours is fully updated.

so it was. i still maintain that £18.99 is a bit steep though.

The dev actually listened to user feedback after the big redesign and I was able to customize it to what I wanted.

yeah, that's what i heard. but i'd already moved on to slide, and now i'm happy enough with thunder

yeah i'm with you there. i understand why programmes do it, a one-off purchase often isn't enough to support continued development and server costs, but i have never bought one in my life. i actually had bought pocketcasts pro, and then they went subscription only and i immediately moved to antennapod.

topically, sync for lemmy has just released and everyone's going wild over it. it's a £16/year subscription. or £2/month…

to be fair; at the point they name it fennec, it was a pretty sensible name. when mozilla then changed the codename they could either keep name recognition or match upstream, and they chose the former

it's a dumb name now, but i think they made the right choice at every juncture

yeah exactly. that's why i don't like webp. i've nothing against it as a format, i would just rather use image format that's not backed by said corpo

i don't.[^1] but like it or not, chrome dictates what the internet does now. there's no point in sites hosting jpegxl images if ~3% of their users will see it, and there's no point in firefox developing a decoder if no sites host jpegxl. so even though it's objectively better, and is highly supported by non-browser programmes; it has no recourse for gaining traction on the web

[^1]: in fact, i loudly decry it to anyone who will listen. but the number of non-chromium browsers i can count on my fingers.
