@dkf I haven't flagged because I can't decide if this should go into the Nope thread or the Really, Really Stupid Ideas thread

@ben_lubar You're doing something insanely stupid.

@Tsaukpaetra said in Mobile is different: Step one: Make the site work without CSS (apparently): "Other error" Thanks Google, that's very helpful.

@TwelveBaud I still remember the "None of your extensions will work anymore! But never fear, we'll help you search to see if there are replacements available" update. That was pretty stupid. Especially since it had no way to automatically upgrade extensions when the same extension was already available as a WebExtension... it couldn't even find the extension automatically; you had to search for it by name.

@boomzilla said in Notification Communications: @Tsaukpaetra I created a Bugs thread a while ago. I never go into Status unless someone mentions me there. But you probably knew that. I have noticed you don't typically upvote me there. I didn't think anything unusual, so have not mentioned it.

@izzion said in Some changes planned for the front page: @Tsaukpaetra I think that's what the forum is written in... maybe there's a hidden module that activates this "front page" category if you find it? At some point someone mentioned it would be nice to resurrect the bot that reposted Front Page Article links in said mythical category. At another point, someone suggested onebox meta be added to Front Page Articles. At another point, someone argued that this would create unnecessary contention against the New Comments System on the Front Page Articles for the confusing disconnect between the forum and comments sections. Thus, the quo has been statused.

@sockpuppet7 hard licorice candy with red pepper and mineral salts.

@topspin Damn close. The tree map was for storing the encoded word pairs by probability. Banana motorcycle actually translates to "Hi, Boomzilla!" though.

@anonymous234 said in The Official "If You Can't Say Something Nice..." Thread: I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear! Seconded. I will add that I like "Golf shorts" because they're typically made of thinner materials that wick perspiration better than typical. And they're usually a bit more smooth in many ways.

@djls45 said in Closed Poll: Do you have Discourse Syndrome: @Tsaukpaetra Oh, did @the_dragon finally eat him? A little less than four years ago, apparently.

@sockpuppet7 said in 3px too narrow: @onyx said in 3px too narrow: Not use HTML as your presentation layer? That would be nice, but it's still kinda required for a web app... We could have an entire UI based on canvas. I think nobody had the time and crazyness required to do that yet, but it's possible. CanvasBB here we come

There was a fork involved for sure, and probably a spot where I butt-deleted my own posts (the touchscreen edges on the Essential Phone are way too fucking sensitive)

@tsaukpaetra Oh. Right. Hm. That makes it less funny for some reason...

@ben_lubar said in @ben_lubar's MongoDB !!SCIENCE!! thread: @obeselymorbid is missing 103 likes! Fixed. Gave a few 25th likes in the process. I blame disco-loading for the misses.

@topspin said in I can haz "disable desktop notifications forever everywhere" button in profile settings, pretty please?: What do I have to do in Firefox to show what part of this site takes how long to load? Because if I posted a screenshot you guys wouldn't believe how incredibly slow the forum's been acting. Open the developer console with f12, then choose the "performance" tab. Click start recording then navigate to the page that's slow. Click stop when you're done and you'll see a load of coloured lines for the different things that were loading. Any really long line will be something that took ages

@createdtodislikethis said in This is getting stupid: Stop splitting different strands of the same topic into separate threads. Done and done!

@perverted_vixen said in Give me servercooties.io back: we just forgot to feed @Zoidberg then? I couldn't possibly say, but that guy does seem to eat a lot. It's the likes of bingbot that we're keeping out.

Bugs is bunny?

@polygeekery said in ...: I think I broke the sockpuppet. I'm pretty sure he was already broken so no worries.

@tsaukpaetra Hmm. Now it seems to put the reply on the next line instead of the votes.

@greybeard said in Avatar upload page on mobile seems to be a little unintuitive: The top two are in the wrong order. It’s handcuffs then scythe blow and body disposal. Paging @Lorne-Kates for an expert opinion...

@el_heffe said in iFramely documentation?: Ah yes, the age-old question. How much frame could an iFramely frame if an iFramely frame could frame frames. Infinitely many, if iFramely uses iframes to frame frames.

I don't know what this thread is here for but i saw it with negative rep and I needed a negative one for an equation i was working on, so i stole it and replaced it with a zero.....

That's easy to answer:

@julianlam said in Does anybody actually use this site on mobile : I was wondewing when that pwugin wouwd make its way hewe... It's keeping my spirits high, as today we had to fire a high-level exec and the worry and stress about de-authorizing all the things they had access to (while still letting everyone else maintain access, hooray shared passwords ) has been a real downer all day...

@tsaukpaetra It's npm... I have a feeling when it calculates its dependency tree, it stores all of it (and the files too I suppose) in active memory, and only when the tree has been completely built, will it blurt it all out into node_modules/ The minute yarn allows yarn publish, I'm out of the npm ecosystem.

However, is a video, while the classic is a static image (though IIRC, it is a still from a film, so... got nuthin').

@bb36e said in NodeBB write API?: @accalia interesting...so looks like sockbot relies on HTML parsing? bummer, I'd need to deal with interop between python and node... :/ HTML parsing? only when it's mucking about with raw posts for command parsing. the actual API is JSON based. you should be able to crib off of sockbot so long as there's a python package that does a websocket client.

@pie_flavor said in Blocking: @tharpa You could code your own mobile UI that doesn't suck. But that would be work. I'd rather complain about free stuff.

@gąska said in You're welcome, front page commenters!: @ben_lubar said in You're welcome, front page commenters!: Blocking comments that end with the commenter's name as a link would probably block a significant amount of spam and approximately zero legitimate comments from people who aren't intentionally trying to make a reference to this type of spam. On another forum I used to frequent, there was a guy who signed every post with his name, email style. He wouldn't be happy with this rule. Did he invent mayonnaise?

@barisu said in Any way to get a list of muted topics?: Not sure what happened there thanks @accalia looks like the .. ending to your sentance got gobbled by the link and github is intolerant of trailing characters in commit hashes? either that or your cat walked on your keyboard at the wrong time. :-)

@dreikin said in Feet-Sure request: 'Post Read' marker or counter: @boomzilla said in Feet-Sure request: 'Post Read' marker or counter: @scholrlea It's not great, but as a sort of workaround, remove everything from the URL that comes after the title and you'll get the "Navigate to your last read" (or whatever) toaster. This doesn't work if you enter in at a later point than you left (e.g., you click a notification about someone replying to you, a hundred posts down from where you were). Yeah, kinda sucks that the bookmark is instantly updated in that case...

@tsaukpaetra said in That's one creepy notification: Which implies time is finite and has an end, right? That's another cosmology deep ponderable.

@pie_flavor the is high with that one.

@gąska said in Suggestion: strip quotes from latest post preview: How much work would it take to strip quotes off the preview? If memory serves, the whole darn post is there, so whatever CSS js marking the down...
