I once went into the Element support chat asking if it was possible to change my user name color, as I'm pretty closely identified to this username, and I despise the lime green it creates in that client. They said no, and typically I would expect to then be told, "but you can open a ticket in our tracker" or etc. Instead I was told, "use a different client if you want to change your username color (locally)."
Very weird experience.
People used to use this attack in League of Legends a decade ago. If they're losing, they guess someone might have Skype open; and moreover, that their Skype is the same as their summoner name. Then they get an ip address and ddos the entire lobby, causing the game to crash (I think it happened in one of my games maybe once, but I didn't really play ranked other than team ranked).
Also, since all pro & semipro players had each other added, this was possible to do at any time during online tournaments (which was most tournaments - TSM invitational etc). So there were always rules that ddossing was disallowed. But it did happen.
Known ddossers were more hated in the community than known flamers, but a few people who did it "reformed" and went on to be pro players anyway.
I mean, no evidence says he wasn't also poisoned yet
Also, the part no one ever brings up: No per-program volume control. Ugh. That was so actively irritating until they finally added it (was it in XP? or not until 7?)
I think what they let you do is write mini add-ons using the API and support JS in an in-browser editor. Then you have to enable the add-ons. I guess equivalently you can do the same things with an IDE and any language, but it felt like they "officially" supported JS.
yeah ok that one's fair
GSheets lets you run python code? I thought they were all js-based
edit: I misread, you're saying LibreOffice has Python support, nvm
wait when did this get unbundled with netflix itself? totally would've picked up a few discs but not worth actually signing up for this to do that lol
Boaty McBoatFace was NOT a debacle. It was a once-in-a-generation opportunity to get kids interested in climate science with programs like "The diary of Boaty McBoatFace" or "Zoom call with a Boaty McBoatScientist" all around the world in classrooms. Hell, even in high school I would've taken an elective that was doing actual work if it was Boaty McBoatFace-themed*.
*not to say that I'm young enough to have been in high school at the time, but that it would appeal to kids that old
The debacle was that they were too stuck up to realize what a gift they'd been given and completely squandered it. Boaty McBoatFace was beautiful. For a couple days, the internet cared about science in the absence of technology.
paint opens a bit faster, and often I want to just draw some stupid rectangles with 5 words and 4 arrows real quick and screenshot it and say "look here's the mock-up"
Artemis has this, currently the overall app is in beta & you have to be using an account from artemis.camp (until the kbin api is fully rolled out to all instances)
do you use the swiping function of it? I've found that to be TERRIBLE at "prediction based on context" e.g. understanding if I want "if" or "of" it does the one that doesn't make sense in context. and it doesn't understand that if I type a word, and then delete it and retype it, maybe it should give me something different the 2nd time around (particularly irritating for if/of).
