whats dat

it's a way to register yourself with the server on some networks, including this one.

CatQuest: thanks for editing BĘÃTFÓØT :)

derwin: nop

Huh. Is this a thing now? STYLE-2031

STYLE-2031: Discord server invite URL as an online community Artist/Label-URL relationship https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/STYLE-2031

I don't follow any artist close enough to be on their discords, but I guess it would make sense to autoselect those if they are common enough

aren't thosse fairly transcient / temporary?

I don't know, that's why I'm asking :) I assume the channel remains (at least as much as a twitter account or something), but I dunno if the invitation links expire

well, it seems taht they can be set to never expire and be unlimited

however, there's no way to tell if a given link is one of those

I feel like supporting this would lead to someone (probably an artist) putting invites up every 90 days and then removing them

I mean, we don't block these currently, anyway

We just don't autoselect it

AFAIK :)

So they can technically already do that, I guess :D

ROpdebee7, I can't get your enhanced cover art upload script to show up

ah it works now

reinstalled it and tampermonkey asked me something about allowing domain or something

now it works

Violentmonkey > Tampermonkey

maybe but I'm used to tampermonkey now :)

been using it for years heh

i actually agree there, i dislike the "violent" idea but it works better thna the othr thing

I shelled out for tampermonkey recently and then half the scripts didn't actually work :(

erh

shlled out?

wait paid for?

wat you can pay for plugi-ins now

that's deff a scam

You can pay to support tampermonkey

hm

I'd pay open source instead

*to

Like for MB, it's not mandatory

Hmm

I didn't know Tampermonkey is (now) proprietary actually

yea

that's why I recommend Violentmonkey. I used to use Tampermonkey before the developer changed the licence and made it closed source.

I miss greasemonkey, it had a cute logo and worked well

(I still have like 3.11 installed on old fox)

If someone could approve this edit it would be very helpful, so I can add all "part of xxx DJ Mix" comments in one go https://musicbrainz.org/edit/86469122

I was honestly under the impression that it was still OSS albeit the only way to get a prebuilt version was by paying

it wasn't too pricey

but then it didn't actually work

What are the benefits of using TM vs VM?

atj: approved

reosarevok: thanks <3

atj: from a userscript developer perspective, no significant difference. Both are decently compatible. From a user perspective - I like the UI of violentmonkey better :)

kepstin: exactly, I don't see any reason at all to use Tampermonkey now

iirc, both TM and VM are mostly compatible with scripts written using either the greasemonkey 3 or greasemonkey 4 apis (the two versions of greasemonkey are incompatible)

that only affects scripts that use special apis provided by the extension to do things the site on its own couldn't normally do, tho.

huh

kepstin: which version of gm uses which api? ie version 3.0 would use what api and version 5.7 use which api? when cutof point?

(if you know)

greasemonkey 4 and later use a different api from all previous versions

this doesn't affect that many scripts - most musicbrainz userscripts, for example, don't use the extra features so work on either version.

(some examples of what it allows is script private storage that the web page can't see, adding script or style tags that would be blocked by content security policies, making cross-domain requests that would normally be blocked, adding right-click menu entries)
