Is this a heaven you really want to go to?

To answer this question, select all of the bridges from this captha, then watch these three short 30-second ads.

Then you would know you are in hell - not heaven - and the devil is talking to you.

What you pay 20€/month for 4k content? Fuck you here's a 720p version because you use Linux!

"But nooo don't pull out qBittorrent what are you doing it's bad for the economy!!!1!!"

I just spoof the browser agent. They rarely actually need stuff your browser doesn’t support.

[–] Lober@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago

Correct, idk my assumption has always been that they skip testing the site with Gecko out of laziness and so disable it entirely

whut

That is NOT what it's supposed to be, it seems to only be goofy on kbin.social, here's what the preview looks like on lemmy: label

[–] Narrrz@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

oh yeah, the image works fine when I open it, but kbin gets wacky previews from some sites.

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'm looking at some of my posts across multiple Kbin instances and they look crazy haha

[–] ripcord@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Weirdly it looks fine to me on kbin social, but I don't get the joke :(

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 4 points 1 year ago

Looking at two different Kbin instances it looks like these two images:

Heaven says “your browser is not supported”? Funny because of the frustration of using non-Chromium browsers on certain websites.

[–] ripcord@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I've still not seen that message for a decade and I use Firefox 90+% of the time

Cross-platform web™ when platform isn't chrome on windows

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 2 points 11 months ago

What is this "firefox" you speak of? Is it some sort of chrome addon, like my 45 convert to pdf addons?

[–] Midnitte@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Someday, school stuff like proctortrack will work with Firefox.... someday..

Safari isn't chromium though?

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mac users have enough money and it's close enough to Chrome for businesses to care

So? Chromium and Chromium based browsers (and V8) use blink nowadays.

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Webdevs are all lazy MacOS users and Apple fanboys so Safari gets supported disproportionately /hj

Yes, like Nia said it stands for Half Joking!

Basically, I was saying Safari gets disproportionately well supported because a lot of web developers macOS, and although I do think this is true in part, it's also partially just a joke.

Simpler said, don't take it too serious, but there is a core of truth in it, for me.
