Shopify uses stripe, so someone out there's doing the math of that dashboard minus the other one and gaining some alpha.

#192This reliably kills Firefox on Linux here. The whole browser. After a few seconds, during which the laptop fans are spinnung up, all tabs go into a "This tab just crashed" state.
Kills Firefox? My entire laptop, including my cursor and typing into a terminal, dropped to something like 10 fps. The lofi version posted in reply to this is definitely better, but it's still crazy they managed to use up an entire laptop for their status page. Cool, but crazy.
Doesn't kill Firefox for me, but my machine is beastly. Windows 11, i9 12900K + RTX 3080Ti, seeing 35% overall CPU, Firefox using 1.2% of that, Task Manager indicating 15-20% of the GPU.
Maybe they fixed it, though.
Actually Firefox works a bit better, as the hitbox for the Next/Previous buttons is weirdly offset in Chrome but is spot on in Firefox, kudos.
EDIT: On `/lofi` Firefox is using about 0.1% CPU.

Must be your PC. Works fine on my iPhone with FireFox
Firefox on iPhone uses Webkit. It's basically a Safari skin. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Firefox&oldid=118... > It is the first Firefox-branded browser not to use the Gecko layout engine as is used in Firefox for desktop and mobile. Apple's policies require all iOS apps that browse the web to use the built-in WebKit rendering framework and WebKit JavaScript, so using Gecko is not possible.
Hopefully Apple's policy ends soon.

For what it's worth, this page was freezing my Windows computer in both Firefox and Chrome. Once I updated my AMD graphics drivers, it now works smoothly. I have an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT. Graphics driver version 23.11.1 .

Last time I checked Firefox for iPhones was just a UI over Safari engine. Did things change?
No, it is still using Safari WebView, but Apple may be forced to change that policy in the near future if we're lucky.

Square has one too. They should show it off.

Have you considered that the design is more important than the data in this context? I mean, I sure don't care worth a damn whether there are 100, 1000, or 10000 orders being placed per second. It's a meaningless figure to me.
Your first sentence is exactly what it means to think in terms of form over function. There is exactly nothing unique about the 80s pixellated design but there is about the data being presented, which is actually valuable to many possible parties: * competitors * creditors * investors * employees * academics * journalists * policymakers in financial services The design is not valuable to anyone, even to those who hav…
All of this may be true, but Stripe's intention with building this is obvious: It's marketing; it's an advertisement showing how much volume Stripe handles during a busy shopping period. A big hint that it's an ad is that the Stripe API Uptime is not only on the first page of the stats, but is the only thing colored green. It's showing that Stripe is easily handling this crazy load, and it's only 13% (right now) of their "current capacity"!
Stripe is not building this to make sure that competitors, creditors, investors, employees, academics, journalists or policy makers have access to important data, that's just not the function of this dashboard.
Those unsure that Stripe will be reliably there for them might be swayed by seeing this during their holiday break. At least that's the marketing theory.
Aesthetics are absolutely a factor on the efficacy of marketing activities, and making it "fun" or "pretty" or "flashy" is part of that.

That means nothing.. what type of linux? what kind of customizations you did in your distro? WM? Based on which one? Drivers installed? And I’m not even going with your Firefox setup and what kind of addons you have.. such statement is expected from tech illiterates that see linux as a monolith thing or like MacOS where your OS will be identical to another for the most part, technically Linux is just a kernel per se. I use “linux” (mint cinnamon) with Firefox and ubo addon and that page loaded perfectly on thinkpad T470.
