tenryuu··on Ripcord – A desktop chat client for Discord and Slack
There's support for importing your login from your browser. This has to be used if your slack domain doesn't use the generic slack login page.

If you're familiar with HAR files, this is what's used

tenryuu··on You probably don’t need input type=“number”
I actually only really hate this because now it requires two active hands to control the map element. I'm sure google already did consider this when they decided to change the functionality
tenryuu··on Redesigning GitHub Repository Page
I make complaints about the small shit that github do with their responsive redesigns and they still don't even fix them.

The responsive nature of the new frontpage is garbage. Because you expect that at least 95 percent of developers using the site are doing so on the desktop. If your browser window is too small, you lose search behind a hamburger button and a navigation menu that only looks like it belongs in your hand, not on your desktop.

We're lucky this only affects the frontpage, and not within any repos were developers are doing actual work

tenryuu··on How Discord Scaled Elixir to 5M Concurrent Users (2017)
If you're on windows, the 'App Volume device preferences' settings pane has you covered

It's the replacement for the vintage volume control, while a little sub-par by any modern standard, you can pick the input/output device per application

>no way to use an alternative client These exist, but some are not open source. You can run discord on a vita if you wanted to.

Just because something is closed source, doesn't mean it's impossible to reverse engineer. The entire system is compiled into a javascript webpack, alongside just reading web requests/their documentation, doing some basic functionality in an alternative implementation is really easy.

This apparently breaks the terms of service, but they are only enforce this if you're an outlier for the number of API requests you send.

The most well known 3rd party client would be Ripcord, which I use for it's Slack features

tenryuu··on Show HN: XFiles – FOSS File Manager and Archiver with Root Support for Android
The amount of hassle there is to actually get a view of this without installing it is quite a bullshit task.

From the readme, you have to navigate to an entirely different repo, which contains only contains a handful of preview files.

Even then, they are all gifs, so if you wanted static content you're out of luck, as gifs are pretty much the incorrect format for lengthy content such as this. Files average 6-10MB each, so if you're actually on mobile, github won't preview them (how nice, they think of my data plan).

Consider ShareX [https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX], who quite some time ago did strip out their entire readme for putting more information on their own website, but they still have a gif showing a majority functions from their application. It's less than 200kb, because someone decided to optimise their content to an acceptable extent

tenryuu··on GitHub dashboard UI refresh
And prey you don't use vertical monitors. I can only feel the depths of hell you would have to navigate being given a mobile interface with keyboard and mouse because a user decides that vertical reading space suits their tasks

What is it then? New github homepage is extremely bad at a reduced size as well.

below 1012 pixels and they remove search and anything in navigation for a hamburger button, where there is clearly still enough room for these elements.

at 768 pixels they remove the new repository button.

They should be focusing on their desktop experience. Sure their mobile experience is still fucked, but you'll find that at least 90% of people using github every day are form a PC. Who programs from their phone?

The fucking navigation menu on a browser that big is pretty inexcusable. It's a step back from any coherent design

tenryuu··on RunJS
Does node not support cross compiling??
tenryuu··on Everything – Locate files and folders by name instantly on Windows
I use the Japanese input method (from the language pack) to solve this. Wish I was joking, but when in hiragana input, you're still able to input words from a Romanji base, and entire English input in full width characters if you start you word with a capital. As the IME has to compensate for having multiple words from the same keystrokes in Japanese, with Roman characters, you get accented characters in the same menu.

I don't exactly see this as a great solution, but with my limited use, it surprises me that this is restricted to a CJK input

tenryuu··on InVision, valued at $1.9B, picks up $115M Series F
I've used invision multiple times for university courses. It's really great how they made an extension to photoshop to render out artboards to generate the screens. My support experience is also quite pleasant. Even just with a single free prototype, it takes a lot of hassle out of making interactive demos when I'm exporting straight out of what is essentially mockup material

Links to the homepage for me, is this article region specific?

tenryuu··on Twitter to remove ‘like’ tool in a bid to improve the quality of debate
tweetdeck is technically first party, twitter acquired the team many many years ago
tenryuu··on Twitter to remove ‘like’ tool in a bid to improve the quality of debate
I don't have this option on tweetdeck, only a add to collections, gives me a popup with no content. Nice.
tenryuu··on Twitter to remove ‘like’ tool in a bid to improve the quality of debate
is that all twitter is now? a debate site? Starring items has been a stample of both bookmarking content, as well as showing appreciation for anything on the platform.

But as well as when they started merging liked posts into the content feed on the main apps, it did remove the critical thing if it being an option for feedback to a post, without sharing the content to your own timeline (a retweet).

I don't understand any logic behind this change at all, and if there is, there's a paywall. But twitter is for everything, not just politics. If you're using politics to drive your platform, it's a shitshow for anyone else that uses the platform for more recreational purposes

This would have been great. I've been tackling composer for a long time on a windows installation. Meanwhile something like PHP-my-admin has zero problems with releasing with dependencies in tack

Not limited to Japan. Most places I've been to have you paying either before or after you eat from some form of counter. Depends what kind of place it is

tenryuu··on How Discord Handles Two and Half Million Concurrent Voice Users Using WebRTC
Forensic net requests? You can MITM the entire traffic. Mimicking it's nature isn't the hardest task in the world if all the data is handed on a silver platter, and it's even easier when their client code is uncompiled JavaScript. There are always people data mining the client.

If you're thinking they're going to check the actual software. Like ass I'm going to let someone into my house to check if I'm breaking their terms of service

tenryuu··on How Discord Handles Two and Half Million Concurrent Voice Users Using WebRTC
They can't catch you using these apis since these are the same apis the first party client runs off of

I was able to load the into sequence for Battletoads. Then the game froze and every tab on my browser crashed.

Is this using javascript or wasm?
