10 years ago, someone wrote a unit test for @servo@floss.social that included a cookie expiry date of April 18, 2026. At that time Servo was only 3 years old and I'm sure 10 years in the future sounded like a long time!

Well, we're still here, and now our CI is broken until I can get another maintainer to merge https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/44341 .

RE: @servo@floss.social

Every month it takes an increasing amount of time and effort just to summarize the work being done by Servo's community. We're even writing custom tooling for it like https://github.com/jdm/commit-triage/. This is a good problem to have!

@_r @servo @Lukew If it is the audio, there's a high chance it's https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/34911 which is a big we're trying to get fixed upstream in GStreamer.

@dried @servo @webbeef We added that note out of caution back in 2015 and have never revisited it. I should try my banking website in Servo, honestly!

@niyabits@hachyderm.io It's called the window named getter: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/nav-history-apis.html#named-access-on-the-window-object . Servo didn't support it for a long time and the implementation history was fraught: https://github.com/servo/servo/pull/29396 . I kind of hate that I've fallen into using it now, but it's very convenient for short HTML/JS snippets.
