My Browser Builds (Part 5)

[j7n]

I gave an example of TechSupportForum dot Com. There are also giant vector icons visible under every message. I can't dismiss the prompt because the button is handled by the stopped script. On a fast processor like Ivy Bridge the CPU finishes the work and the site can be browsed. But on a slow CPU it hangs.

Turns out it's an offspring of Fora.com too, as is AvsForum, which I can't tell by the domain.

https://fora.com/communities/

https://xenforo.com/community/threads/a-quick-peek-at-fora-com-s-modified-xenforo-community-software.224690/

Ross-Tech.com appears to be older, as is Paradox-Plaza.com (now flat design), or SteveHoffman.TV. Look how easy it is on the eyes in comparison.

Sorry, didn't see XenForo written at the bottom.

Javascript wasn't originally designed to do the kinds of tasks modern Web sites have it doing now.

Today I found out that there is a Photoshop built to run inside the web browser!

Here is what people say:

“I remember the PCs had Photoshop CS2 or CS3 on them, which was an outdated version, [..] Literally the only thing I use Photoshop for is to fix up my scans. This includes removing dust (using the content aware fill function) and colour correction (as my scanner tends to whitewash things a bit).”

“Use photopea, it's basically photoshop in the browser.”

”Tbh www.photopea.com loads almost instantly, doesn't require installing and is more feature rich than CS2 so I'd just use that.”

So let's put it up to a test by loading a 56 megapixel vinyl scan with 4 layers representing each overlapping corner. It is 1 gig on disk. I worked on this on Windows 2003 yesterday with 1.5 gigs of RAM and some 5 or so gigs on the scratch disk.

It seems that my Opium 93 tops out at exactly 4 GB of RAM despite being 64-bit. There were briefly 2 processes using about 3 GB each. I tried to write on it with the brush tool and it crashed after a few strokes.

Bluesky - new trendy social network, has now more interactions then twitter. In both recent versions of New Moon and Basilisk pictures in posts does not show. Can it be fixed?

You ignored me about building about retrozilla's new build. And you have to merge Classilla and even Retrozilla changes into your branch, since you just refused to.

retrozilla and other legacy browsers are not always being built even if there is new commit(s).

I have made the same thing i did for Retrozilla to classila,so can you just merge the pull requests?

 

And you should have built the builds for new commits,look,I contributed to your fork and you don't always do that.

Silence as usual. I interpret it as the only solution being using bloated ChromeZilla.

Is this slang?  Because I googled and only came up with this.
