“We are, that is us, the people who maintain the software, are changing it so it won’t work for you. This is obviously your fault.”

Yeah, I got the same message from my old Mac. But why will they no longer support? Too many extra hamsters or something?

@bump

Griping about this is like griping that your old tube TV doesn’t handle digital TV.

Really? Explain why you can’t support stuff you already are supporting? An old tube TV was never able to get modern stuff.

@wolfpup

That’s often how sites determine whether the browser is supported or not, but according to the discussion in the Discourse thread linked in the OP (under “learn more”) someone wrote a fairly simple HTML script that allegedly tests for the three features Discourse will be requiring, which is allegedly the test that Discourse is doing before putting up the warning.

This gets closer to “why” (thanks!) but again, since it has always worked before now, why cant it work?
