tenryuu··on jQuery 3.6.0
I dropped it a long time ago for similar reasons to only using selectors. It was not worth adding the extra request and execution time for what was really now a vanilla feature.
tenryuu··on A minimalistic site to vent and see others doing the same in realtime
Posts are probably going to suck for the time being as this just circles around to people who don't really need to use it but only observe. Once it fades out of sites like HN and those similar, hopefully post quality will improve
tenryuu··on Twitter Now Counts Every Emoji as Equal
I don't think turning a microblogging platform into a more generic one is any sort of innovation
tenryuu··on Telegram Voice Chats
You can read the whole thing without an account, it is a public channel and the entire message is displayed on the t.me link. It's a bit jarring on a desktop browser because it looks like the post is cut off, but it's just a really really weird overflow with scrolling
tenryuu··on Why Japanese web design is so different (2013)
The article is 7 years old, the technical aspects of this no longer have any valid representation
tenryuu··on figlet – a program for making large letters out of ordinary text
There's a good website I use for this so I don't need a program, but I can't remember the one I use. It's not modern by any means, but it really does a decent job in the presentation of all loaded text types
tenryuu··on Java Edition is moving house
The names for Microsoft accounts actually are using Xbox Live. Names no longer need to be unique on the platform, instead the are suffixed with a unique descriminator such as appears on Battle.net
tenryuu··on Java Edition is moving house
That takes me back, I remember trying to switch my (then) Windows Live ID to the United States so I could test Skydrive. In doing so I was locked out the the account since I didn't have a US postal address, with no way to revert my actions. I don't think I was even a teenager at the time
tenryuu··on My chatbot is dead – Why yours should probably be too
This one's actually a bug https://twitter.com/azumbrunnen_/status/1318493410848890880
tenryuu··on My chatbot is dead – Why yours should probably be too
Yup, I didn't even bother to read the article. I went immediately to the comment section to complain.

It's really weird that people actually spend hours and days on implementations like this because they and are seemingly the only people that actually find enjoyment in it. If you were to talk to your friends about it they would probably say "it's cool" but many of us are still going to say "Why?"

tenryuu··on How Discord Won
I think there's a lot that could be done in regards to navigation around. Like it works, and it's clear it's inspired from the more mainline chatting interface that's been around for what feels like centuries. But any time I'm using the default client, if I'm not using hotkeys or ctrl+k to navigate across channels, there's just way too much clicking and scrolling. Not to mention you can only have one active chat buffer on display.

There's room for improvement in modern chat apps that the previous generation didn't shy away from. But it's hard to please anyone with change, but it still think that there should be experiments into some big changes

tenryuu··on How Discord Won
I used an unclaimed account for almost four years, only issue of course I had was dealing with guilds limited account based on verification. There was really no other problems
tenryuu··on Report may suggest that login requirement for Oculus Quest 2 is anticompetitive
I skimmed this, but this goes over getting banned from Xbox Live, the network service, not a system that prevents you from using the console
tenryuu··on Mailgo, a new concept of mailto and tel links
Firefox has an option for the application (or website) to open a mailto link with. It's lacking Outlook OWA though. You can find in the preferences panel where all default 'open with' settings are
tenryuu··on The joys of owning an ‘OG’ email account
I also have a short common word for my email address. I don't often get signups for it, but there's always one service with the same name that I get registration emails for.

On one occasion though, a user from Tumblr had set their account name to my email. I think I forgot about it for a year, until the system emailed me about account inactivity. Upon talking to their support team about the issue, they told me just to reset the password and deactivate the account. Feels weird closing an account that I don't own and the owner has no access to.

tenryuu··on WordPressiOS Locked by App Store
kind of? They have a special category for mobile subscriptions, and the sub system on mobile uses a token system. So while they all do the same thing, they are actually very diverse in how they are operated. A sub on a phone still gives you the benefits on any platform though, but it will continue to use the payment gateway for the life of the subscription
tenryuu··on Facebook account now required to login to Oculus devices
Oh wow, this was only a few months before I bought my hardware. I've been using a Naga since the first model and had it replaced in 2014. I guess I just got a bit lucky on my timing. The old hardware was really bad at trying to force Synapse on you too, used to even appear during Window 10 upgrades.

It would be great if they used the additional on board macro profiles as an 'out of the box' way of adjusting the mouse without software. You nerd the software to change mouse button 4/5 to native actions, otherwise it's just dpi control.

tenryuu··on Facebook account now required to login to Oculus devices
I have Razer Synapse installed right now, I am not logged into the service but I am still able to make configurations. Don't know what issue you're having. I would feel the same way if this was an issue though
tenryuu··on Building a self-updating profile README for GitHub
Quite a big file for basic vanity...
tenryuu··on Identity Beyond Usernames
I'm not a screen reader user, but I have ublock origin on my mobile filtering out media elements over 1000kb. Instead I was given the alt texts for at least one of the images. It's great when people do this, so many times I also just get emails from marketing that are images only without any descriptors, and I can't help but think about how many international groups simply don't care about accessibility.
tenryuu··on Seven year coronavirus trail from mine deaths to a Wuhan lab
Reading comments like this after reading the article fully and it's a reminder how easy I forget I have a paywall bypasser, let alone a working one
tenryuu··on Ask HN: Thoughts on new GitHub layout?
Made my own userstyle to alter it all. I removed a lot of the rounded corners on pretty much everything. They're still round (2px perhaps), but not as dramatic as they are being served. Only problem is that I didn't save the damn thing before my browser crashed. And critically, made avatars square again
tenryuu··on Is Dark Mode Such a Good Idea?
https://clickmonitorddc.bplaced.net/ I rarely use the interface anymore, this software has replaced it. Unfortunately I'm unaware of anything that works well for any other operating system. There's a rust library I've used in the past for DDC I think, but that means coding your own implementations, and I was only making a source switcher
tenryuu··on Serve Videos Instead of GIFs
There's always going to be a case of when using the gif file format is perhaps the best choice for the job. Like all things considered, a limited palette, reasonable canvas size, the use of a transparency bit instead of a channel. You still have a chance to use an animated gif that's smaller than both the webm and webp variants. Because while it still is possible to create a lossless webp file, the codec is completely different and will store data significantly different, and in the certain use cases, can be less effecient
tenryuu··on Show HN: Create high resolution GIFs from YouTube
In contrast, if your gif is over 1MB, my mobile browser will not display it. This is done to prevent excess data use. (It's a uBo ruleset) I'm unsure what browsers will still not support h264 however. Most commonly you'd find webmasters using both webm and mp4s in their video sources to allow the benefits of the webm filesize, and the mp4 to support ios devices
tenryuu··on Firefox 76
It has already been removed https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D70023
tenryuu··on Show HN: Tom Nook's Laptop
Works for me on fennec_aurora, Android 8
tenryuu··on LICEcap: Simple Animated Screen Captures
I have ublock automatically reject media files over 5mb. the number of gifs I see that push this are astounding.

I wish people would pick their formats better, or the platforms that supported them offered the functionality to allow it.

Some pages have 100s of MB of gifs, it's a serious problem to users with a datacap due to some ignorant Web author

tenryuu··on LICEcap: Simple Animated Screen Captures
While somewhat the default, there is a prompt on the first capture if you would like to upload it. Selecting No will be remembered until toggled manually in the user settings
tenryuu··on Show HN: Unscreen – Remove Video and GIF Backgrounds
For webcams? You can use xsplit vcam. https://www.xsplit.com/ja/vcam

It uses whatever AI systems they made to single out the foreground objects from the background objects. And then it's basically just taking the camera input, applying filters or transparency and outputting it as a new video device.
