Firefox… no. Please please no
Screenshot of Firefox for iOS on a lobste.rs page, but the actual page is shifted down to only a third of the screen, the top is now a large red gradient with “summarize this page?” and a large button to continue to some form of AI text summary.

@felienne.bsky.social I just finished reading "A Case for Feminism in Programming Language Design" and really enjoyed the paper!
But I saw this endnote and wanted to share that there are greener pastures for typesetting languages on the horizon: @typst.app handles arabic by default!
A quote from endnote 22 of 'A Case for Feminism in Programming Language Design': "It took the authors of this paper considerable effort and knowledge of the Arabic alphabet to properly typeset قلب in Latex, a case in point. This is also the reason we use endnotes rather than footnotes; footnotes are not compatible with arabtex."
