More people speak Belarusian than Kabyle, why was Belarusian locale removed?

Because Kabyle contributors are translating everyday :) . I'am a Kabyle localizer. I=We tried to build a team to keep it up-to-date. It's not a matter of number!!!

Nice! Another one I can think of is how Blizzard releases their patch notes. Gamers are especially picky to game changes, so you can tell they put some thought into how they announce changes. Example: http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/20481262/heroes-of-the-s... Makes me wonder if there is a market for a release notes platform for keeping customer up to date, something that's more focused on how changes are announc…

They look like the old League of Legend patch notes: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/pat... I like LoL's current ones better: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/patch/pat...

The current one appears to be much closer to Blizzard's imo, although I find Blizzard's to be far more readable just the way the page is formatted.

Yeah, but many of us game developers don't want to use any of that either. At the end of the day, those tools don't ensure that we obtain the same level of quality out the other end. Framerates aren't the same, memory usage isn't the same, and you can't easily tweak these things once they've come out the other end. The web _isn't_ just a runtime. It's abstracted like that, but browsers are glorified HTML renders with…

Myself, I'm currently working on a game that targets both the web and the desktop. I like the accessibility of the former (just go to the site and play, nearly frictionless), but the latter has better FPS by an order of magnitude[0] for the same C codebase, so I'd rather keep my options open. [0] Mind you, said order of magnitude applies to uncapped framerate.

*Sorry, it's quite a bit smaller than an order of magnitude. It's a non-trivial difference though.

Does anyone else think the login popup is a bit annoying? Is there a way to go back to the way it was before?

The save password pop-up? You can disable it for all sites in the Firefox settings, the same as in previous versions. All they changed was making it recognize some login forms that it didn't recognize before; it's not a totally new feature. Are you seeing false positives with it?

It seems buggy. For example, I don't like that it keeps suggesting other login names when I've already filled the field. I also don't understand what is supposed to happen when the popup appears in the password field, if I choose something the username isn't changed at least. Mostly I think it gets in the way. I had no problem with the old functionality where I just wrote the username and the password was filled out when I pressed tab.
