• Popover API

  This doesn’t sound right at all. Ubuntu itself doesn’t have an ESR package, only https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/firefox which is at 125. The Mozilla PPA does have an ESR package, but per https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa?field.series_filter=focal it’s at 115. has been supported since Firefox 98, meaning ESR 91 was the last release lacking it, and it reached end of support... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Quickemu: Quickly run optimised Windows, macOS and Linux virtual machines

  I agree, but I think that model of GPG is not how it's used any more. I think nowadays people upload a one-shot CI key, which is used to sign builds. So you're basically saying "The usual machine built this". Which is good information, don't get me wrong, but it's much less secure than "John was logged into his laptop and entered the password for the key that signed this" So, you're right, that GPG verifies... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Mozilla's new Firefox Linux package for Ubuntu and Debian derivatives

  You can use https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/, but that's no official Mozilla repository. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Mozilla's new Firefox Linux package for Ubuntu and Debian derivatives

  As a user of the PPA packages (https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa), now I'm confused. Are these the same packages? Should I switch? I'd have appreciated at least a mention in the article. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Firefox Developer Edition and Beta: Try Out Mozilla's .deb Package

  There's also a PPA: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa Though you'll have to convince Ubuntu to prefer that instead of the snap. It's not hard, certainly easier than installing Debian which is probably still what I should have done. I think I used this guide: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/04/how-to-install-firefox-deb-apt-ubuntu-22-04 Though what that doesn't tell you is that the snap... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• The Weird Nerd comes with trade-offs

  IMO Open Source software communities are where folks like you can really thrive. They're much closer at something like a meritocracy than traditional workplaces. > I want to make the next-gen version control system While you certainly could invent one yourself, you could consider contributing to popular ones like git/mercurial. It'd help teach you both the positive and the negative aspects of their design... - Source: Hacker News / 12 days ago

• Version Control Beyond Git

  The feature I think I would most like to see is support for patches as a more first-class object. For example reverts and cherry picks have no real metadata. This leads to conflicts when merging branches that have cherry picks (although they often auto-resolve if they are exactly the same diff) and makes asking "Does $branch contain $patch" basically impossible to answer. https://pijul.org/ greatly improves this... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Pijul is a free and open source (GPL2) distributed version control system

  In Pijul, conflicts are not modelled as a "failure to merge", but rather as the standard case. Specifically, conflicts happen between two changes, and are solved by one change. The resolution change solves the conflict between the same two changes, no matter if other changes have been made concurrently. Once solved, conflicts never come back. - from https://pijul.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Josh: Just One Single History

  Do not try and bend the spoon, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth...there is no spoon. Then you will see it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself -- what Pijul users say when they overhear git users arguing with each other about monorepos. https://pijul.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Introduction to Loro's Rich Text CRDT

  I believe that handling merges like this correctly was a motive for designing pijul: https://pijul.org See the item on the splash page about 'merge correctness'. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find the post detailing the behavior with a bit of searching. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
