[QUOTE=kaukassus;52435310]I usually create most of my pages from scratch.
I'm not really a fan of using third party libraries for CSS unless it's absolutely needed.
Usually, using SCSS with some clever mixins gets the job done for most things I need.
And with JavaScript, I only add third party libraries like React only if I absolutely need it.
This is mainly due to maintainability and keeping things small.[/QUOTE]
I basically always develop sites with Vue.js (which I evangelize wherever I can) since it's pretty small and lightweight and I like how you can contain all of the component styles and code in a single file.
But CSS libraries are often a pain in the ass and 90% of the time most of my styling is !importants trying to override unwanted default behavior from whatever CSS library I chose.

This is why you don't use libraries raw. Get them in SASS, LESS, etc form. Cut out the parts that dont matter. modify them. Don't run them straight.
I know imgur plays their gifv files in some sort of flash wrapper (i'm probably wrong on that lmao) rather than using the built-in web browser player.
you can still right-click on the image, copy the location, go to it and save the video file then. Good on him I guess for making something simple lol

Uhh. It's native <video> tags. It's just de-styled. It's basically as vanilla as can be.

As I mentioned, I was wrong on that. Still is the same process though afaik to download videos in the video tags.

Because imgur is going to shit, it'll just redirect to .gifv and save the wrapper page
Can't you just change that to a .mp4 and it'll work fine? I thought it was literally just renamed because hip and trendy

Yeah, for sure - that's my current strategy with my current project running Bulma - but there are still some weird one-time edge cases that need overrides.

gifv isn't actually a real format
The idea is when you request a .gifv file, it sends back an .mp4, .webm or .gif depending on what your browser supports

There's exactly 2 things which is don't wanna live without when it comes to any personal Web Project.
1. SASS/SCSS
2. TypeScript
These are absolute lifesavers whenever I do web development.

What gifv really is, is a html container for those formats. If you were to go directly to an .mp4 or .webm, it'll redirect you to the .gifv address. To get those files directly you need to have a referrer tag from the .gifv address. Sometimes it'll just be the .gif, for some reason or another they didn't transcode it (I'm not sure of their circumstances for this but I've seen it a few times). You can definitely still get any of those, just need to know how it works and how to use your browser properly.

TypeScript is definitely good, but yeah SCSS is a life changer. Once you realize SCSS is basically a more powerful drop-in replacement for CSS, you don't go back. Though I don't think that's a hard realization to come to since I'm like 99% sure they advertise it as being a superset of CSS.
How could I have forgot to mention it too, imgur hit the "free and good" crest a while ago and has been going downhill since
If Google Drive could just give a direct image share URL (without needing to log in to see it like we tested a few months back) I'd never have to touch any other cloud file/picture storage solution again

Google drive [I]used to[/I] but no longer does. I imagine they probably did that to prevent exactly what you want to do.
I've just switched to cubeupload. I wish they had an option to allow compression for images I just want to load quickly, but oh well.
Also one of the first sites I turned my adblocker off for :v:

People STILL use Skype after it's been the software equivalent of a huge pile of shit the last 5 years?
[QUOTE=Van-man;52435689]People STILL use Skype after it's been the software equivalent of a huge pile of shit the last 5 years?[/QUOTE]
It still works and it's still the only way I have to talk to a bunch of people I know
[QUOTE=Van-man;52435689]People STILL use Skype after it's been the software equivalent of a huge pile of shit the last 5 years?[/QUOTE]
typical people will never change what they use until they absolutely have to
Which then makes it harder for everyone else to switch because often you need some way to contact those people who refuse to switch
I honestly was against my friend group moving to Discord from Skype because when that turns shit we'll just have to jump ship again
that's just the nature of free services though
almost all of them turn to shit or are superseded by something better eventually
[QUOTE=TrafficMan;52435720]I honestly was against my friend group moving to Discord from Skype because when that turns shit we'll just have to jump ship again[/QUOTE]
I'm iffy about both, but seeing services turn to shit or suddenly shutting down has made me a bitter pessimist for a good reason.

Which is why we should probably just use standardised communication methods, not tied to companies or services. They're all made redundant by standards. And if there's some shiny fancy new feature something else has, wait. The rest will catch up, be it with clients or the standard itself. It will forever be the stronger, sensible option. We don't need this frankly frustrating schism of IM applications we have right now. There is no reason for it.

I don't think we can turn this around, unfortunately. The normies have won.

No, they haven't. This exact same situation has happened before. Remember when we had MSN, AIM, ICQ, GTalk, Yahoo Messenger, and a thousand other proprietary ones? This is not a new situation, and just like that one, the situation will resolve itself just the same, and the only ones to win will be the standards, just as before. It's just really damned annoying until then. Then it will happen again. And I will still be using IRC, XMPP and SIP.
New Pixel XL coming. They're doing an Advanced RMA. Hopefully they see that the screen is in mint condition, back is in mint condition, same for camera. Just a little ding on a corner which apparently disables the whole fucking phone and don't give me trouble. Or at the very least give me big credit on the replacement. I aint spending $1600 on a "phone"
Thing is I had a case waiting to be shipped to me. Maybe I'll overnight a new one from amazon just to have it while my custom one was waiting.
I'm a avid worshiper of "bumper" cases for that exact reason, which is why "edge" screens is one of the dumbest shit invented since they make effective bumper cases impossible to design for the device.

Edge screens scare me. Hard enough to use largish phones without touching the screen by accident.
I wish more than just Sony would focus on flagship tier 4.5" phones, I don't really want a serving tray in my pocket
