It ““worked”” in France

It still kills most of the userbase when they do it

Normal people don’t know what a fucking dns is

You end up with 10 more new sites and a drop in quality and an endless game of cat & mouse

Stop posting

And they can react to in-game state as well

If every action produces logs and the logs are given to every npc along with some flags, suddenly,

Just punched a guard? That goes in the context

Player is rich? That’s in the context

Wearing mage clothes? Context

It’s a cool way to increase immersion for not much effort without breaking anything in a traditional game

I think it’s fair. You should know if your family cheats if you share your games with them

That is one savage fucking title

How do you even reach 62 being like this

That’s insane

Also lol at the people getting mad at the tea maintainer for “name calling” the guy hired to write up the scam PR

Gig economy or not this idiot should have known better

That’s a big one, generating thumbnails client-side rather than running an imagemagick instance on the server to re-size pictures on upload

I used it to generate hashes of the pictures as well, once.

Adding watermarks too. There are virtuous watermarks as well, I remember having to code up a transparents watermark over people’s IDs to make sure that when they submitted their renters dossier (it was a real estate renting service), it couldn’t be used to commit identity theft by the homeowner later down the line or re-used for something else.

Ah nah Canvas is used for so much stuff and it’s sometimes way under your radar in stuff you wouldn’t at all expect

For instance

• one-loop.github.io, opensource reddit front-end that allows you to look at reddit, but it looks like you’re reading outlook from a distance
• For people’s avatars, it sources images from thispersondoesnotexist.com
• You can’t just “download” a picture from another website, because that violates “CORS”: If it were allowed, you could just download their face from facebook.com, scan if they have something hosted on localhost, …
• You can use an <img> tag which fetches the image, but your javascript cannot access the image’s data. It doesn’t belong to your page

I’ll let you look at the comments to see how they circumvented this

async function generateFacePic(commentData: SnooComment, ppBuffer: HTMLImageElement[], displaySize: number = 50): Promise<HTMLCanvasElement> {
    const imageSeed = /* a random number */
    const imageElement: HTMLImageElement = /* someone's avatar */

    // Purpose of copying: A single <img> tag cannot be in multiple spots at the same time
    // I did not find a way to duplicate the reference to an img tag 
    // If you use Element.appendChild with the same reference multiple times, the method will move the element around
    // Creating a new <img> tag and copying the attributes would work, but it would fetch the src again
    // The image at thispersondoesnotexist changes every second so the src points to a new picture now
    // Since the URL has a parameter and hasn't changed, then most likely, querying the URL again would
    //     hit the browser's cache. but we can't know that.
    // Solution: make a canvas and give it the single <img> reference. It makes a new one every time. It doesn't query the src.
    const canv = copyImage2Canvas(imageElement, displaySize);

    canv.classList.add(`human-${imageSeed}`);
    return canv;
}

I’ve seen canvas being used for github-like random avatars, graphs, logos, to create dynamic previews of images on the page in online shops, …

Null pointers, runtime exceptions and try catch blocks in 2023

Not even

Discord was never usable for almost all handicaps

Source I work with blind developers

You wanna sell in europe you obey europe’s standards and regulations

I’d be absolutely devastated if someone drew me like that as a response to something I said

“Why do gay people always act flamboyant?”

“Why do vegans always push their lifestyle?”

Because you don’t see the ones that don’t

Any advanced user will face dozens of hoops a month on Linux

It’s never the simple things, nor the very difficult things. It’s small, niche workflows & use cases of your computer that you “sometimes” do, like, I don’t know, editing a PDF, installing shareX or an equivalent that can take a screenshot and upload it to imgur / run OCR on a part of your screen, running a Space Engineers server for your friends, running SSEEdit.exe to dump the contents of a potion overhaul mod in Skyrim and calculate which are the best ingredients to plant in your Skyrim greenhouse and garden for maximizing gold output.

No need to look up ways to do any of those, I’ll get different ones next week, and then more the week after.

You know, the millions of things that no one ever does except that guy in 2019 on StackExchange, but that you will have to do and then never again.

the annoying stereotype of vegans pushing their diet

Also, vegans actually do something good for the planet instead of just choosing a different OS for their PC. So, maybe acknowledge that to your neighborly vegan next time, instead of telling them a story about how you once met someone who was really pushy about veganism.

“Innocent until proven guilty” has nothing to do with it. When a cop stops you he’s not indicting you. Switching your gas off remotely replaces chasing calling in reinforcements and chasing you over several blocks when you start speeding up, or flipping your car over. Both of those already impair or override the driver’s input quite a bit.

Having the opinion that your driver input should override the cop’s order to stop, and that society should trust you to stop instead of putting a kill switch in your engine is an insane opinion, and prime driver entitlement.

And I would love the same for drivers without insurance, license removals and cars that didn’t pass the tech inspection
