@prettygood this kills the @hj

doesn't help that the content implies a multimedia engine and a html parser, so you end up recreating a browser

@i @hj @prettygood Qt already has built-in HTML parsing: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/richtext-html-subset.html

@phnt @i @prettygood a lot of frameworks have means of rendering HTML. On that note one HTML renderer is probably cheaper that one for each post, which brings us back to the browser. Can't escape the webshit. I wish more people knew about webapps.

@phnt @i @prettygood it doesn't help that mozilla being fag fucking retards and not supporting half of the good features that make web apps viable (like PWA and WebUSB etc)

sorry for slurs, i just really fucking hate mozilla for this shit and some more.

@hj @i @prettygood But don't worry, they released setHTML now. You are safe from XSS, until someone bypasses it...

@phnt @i @prettygood

@phnt @i @hj @prettygood And IIRC it's subset is close enough to what you need for fedi.

@hj @i @prettygood Just wait for the next 5 years and then you can implement it, because enough meme browsers will hopefully support it. Eventually. Make no attempt to polyfill it, because that is destined to be broken.
