artillect@kbin.socialOPto Kbin Userstyles and Userscripts@kbin.social•Improved Collapsible Comments - Script that lets you collapse replies by clicking a line to the side of each comment2·2 years agoThat’s a feature I added a bit later on, you should be able to disable it in the settings menu in the top right. However, this userscript is no longer supported, and has been added to KES (which you can install here), with some more config options added as well.
artillect@kbin.socialtoTechnology@kbin.social•Superconductor Breakthrough Replicated, Twice, in Preliminary Testing2·2 years agoNot problematic as long as you don’t go around eating electronics
artillect@kbin.socialtoTechnology@kbin.social•Reddit beats film industry, won’t have to identify users who admitted torrenting3·2 years agoApparently the statute of limitations is 3 years for copyright infringement (source), I’m surprised it wasn’t thrown out on that alone (but I’m not a lawyer)
artillect@kbin.socialOPto/kbin meta@kbin.social•kbin Enhancement Suite: a community-curated script manager that lets you customize your kbin experience2·2 years agoLike the collapsible comments didn’t work with the endless comment scrolling from kbin usability pack
Ooh, I had no idea that was a feature in KUP! I’ll see what I can do to fix that. Should be a relatively easy fix
artillect@kbin.socialto Science@kbin.social•A break from the lawn: can an iconic meadow seed wider change?61·2 years agoThe article was written in May
artillect@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions•What's the difference between the threadiverse and the Fediverse6·2 years agoThe term has actually been rolling around for a few weeks, it’s just used to describe Lemmy and Kbin, since they’re based around threads instead of twitter-like posts. Nothing to do with Threads by Meta
artillect@kbin.socialto/kbin meta@kbin.social•Is there a way to derank certain magazines on user side? Something between full blocking and full allowing a magazine?13·2 years agoIt might be kinda hard to pull off, but I’ll see what I can do. I’m not sure if KES can be used to (easily) modify the post rankings, but I think randomly hiding them based on a factor you set could work well. So if you set it to 50% for @memes, it’ll hide half of the posts from there on average.
It’s not perfect, but I think it strikes the right balance between seeing every post and blocking it. I’m busy this weekend but I’ll create an issue on KES’s GitHub repo and someone might beat me to it.
It’s a perfect example of a post that would fit there
artillect@kbin.socialto No Stupid Questions@kbin.social•What's the deal with the digital zoom thing everyone seems to use in video essays?3·2 years agoI think they do it to add motion, and make what would have been just a still shot look a bit more dynamic. I’ve been tempted to do the same thing in my videos, but more for diagrams and pictures, because it makes it a little more interesting than just staring at an unmoving picture for 30+ seconds
artillect@kbin.socialto Science@kbin.social•A third of US deer have had COVID—and they infected humans at least 3 times4·2 years agoIn California, I’ll see them running across the street sometimes. There’s a lot of forests in my area and sometimes deer will wander out of them and into the neighborhoods
artillect@kbin.socialto Games@sh.itjust.works•Access controller for PS5 launches globally on December 64·2 years agoThis is awesome! I’m really happy to see Sony make their own accessible controller
artillect@kbin.socialOPto/kbin meta@kbin.social•kbin Enhancement Suite: a community-curated script manager that lets you customize your kbin experience2·2 years agoIt seems like this is the opposite of the issue we were having with Violentmonkey, we’ll see what we can do about fixing it
artillect@kbin.socialOPto/kbin meta@kbin.social•kbin Enhancement Suite: a community-curated script manager that lets you customize your kbin experience2·2 years agoI’m hoping there will eventually be kbin update or userscript that allows you to change the text size of comments separately from the rest of the site.
That should actually be somewhat easy to do, I just created an issue for it on GitHub. I’m gonna be busy the next few days so I won’t be able to work on it until later, but maybe someone else will beat me to it!
artillect@kbin.socialto Games@sh.itjust.works•Mad scientist YouTuber is growing a rat brain and teaching it to play Doom | PC Gamer3·2 years agoHe briefly mentions making a “neural processor” in the middle of the video, so maybe it’s possible down the line?
artillect@kbin.socialOPto/kbin meta@kbin.social•kbin Enhancement Suite: a community-curated script manager that lets you customize your kbin experience1·2 years agoI just reposted it, seems to be showing up now
artillect@kbin.socialOPto/kbin meta@kbin.social•kbin Enhancement Suite: a community-curated script manager that lets you customize your kbin experience1·2 years agoIs it not showing up? I made it earlier but it hasn’t gotten any votes or comments, I wonder if that’s why
artillect@kbin.socialOPto/kbin meta@kbin.social•kbin Enhancement Suite: a community-curated script manager that lets you customize your kbin experience19·2 years agoHonestly, it’s a great question! While kbin is open source, making userscripts allows you to iterate on changes and get updates out very quickly. It’s also much easier to start making userscripts than it is to contribute directly to the project, since you only really need to be familiar with JS, HTML, and CSS. To contribute to kbin, you need to be familiar with PHP and Twig, and set up your own instance for testing your changes.
Plus, while kbin is open source, not every single change will be merged, and there will likely always be features “missing” from it. Userscripts also give you a ton of freedom and flexibility in how you use sites, so you could make crazy changes that aren’t remotely possible to merge into it.
Hope that answers your questions!
artillect@kbin.socialOPto/kbin meta@kbin.social•kbin Enhancement Suite: a community-curated script manager that lets you customize your kbin experience5·2 years agoErnest is definitely aware of some of these (he’s been spying on us over at @kbinStyles lol), it’d be great to have them be built in! I love that we’ve got so many people making mods for kbin, it allows you to make things at a super quick pace
You’ve gotta start turning kinda early to avoid running into walls, and the c and v keys (brake right and brake left) will help you on really tight corners
