How does one use this on modern browers? If I paste it into the Firefox address bar, it interprets it as a search. I can get it to work by stripping off the "javascript:" prefix and pasting it into the console instead, but only on the site itself; if I try it on a different site the request is blocked by browser security measures. Is there any way to get this to work?
I couldn't get it to work (with random web pages) in Safari.
Trying to paste it to the URL bar gives the error: "Safari doesn’t allow JavaScript from the Smart Search Field. To allow this, choose “Allow JavaScript from Smart Search Field” from the Develop menu."
But even after enabling that option, it still doesn't work. Javascript console shows the errors:
[Error] Refused to load http://kathack.com/js/kh.js because it does not appear in the script-src directive of the Content Security Policy.
[Error] Refused to load http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js because it does not appear in the script-src directive of the Content Security Policy.
Content Security Policy is a way for websites to ask the browser to disable certain functionality that the website expects to not need. That website evidently has asked the browser to not run arbitrary third-party (or non-https?) scripts.
Ideally your browser would recognize that you, the human operator, have authority to override the requests of strangers on your own computer. Sadly, the days of your user agent actually acting on your behalf are waning.
Seems the issue is the request being fired off to get the actual script (xss concerns?), my guess is that it would work by copying the requested script into the js url string, rather than requestimg it.
Put a character in the address bar, paste the text, then ctrl+left for a while then hit delete. (Not like it will do anything, but that's how you can put the text in the address bar.)
Firefox address bar is broken. When you want to copy an url from it (e.g. wikipedia link) it url encodes the text, and makes it unreadable (especially when your language contains non latin characters). I copy links starting form the 't', and manually add the 'h'.
Also when you copy something in the URL bar, then ctrl a then ctrl x, it will copy the original url, instead of your text. But if you do it twice, it will copy your text instead. (Same in windows, linux, even in palemoon.)
It looks like a normal input field on the screen, and it tempts me to use it, but bites me most of the times.
I tried what you said and it doesn't work with "javascript:" uris (probably to prevent running of unwanted code?).
Firefox bar is not "broken", as every browser I tested has the same behavior, and I think it's because a valid uri should only contain ASCII characters (as described in RFC3896[0]), but I agree with you that it's annoying: it should copy the text as it's displayed.
Fun fact: Internet explorer let you copy the uri "as is" without encoding.
Ironically, there might actually be more PS2 units out there than M1 Macs. The PS2 sold nearly 155 million units during it's lifespan, which is genuinely mind-boggling from a marketing perspective.
If I wanted to "nit pick" I would ask for httpS and not to use 3rd party googleapi so no-one else knows you are goofing off at work ;-)
I really wish Katamari Damacy had been ported to other platforms. Maybe there are knock-offs out there but not really a gamer so never went to look.
Oh wow I was about to complain that "Journey" was another playstation game I always wanted to try but now I see it was eventually ported to windows so now I have to go look for that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journey_(2012_video_game)
Bummer that it's only on Windows. It's a casual game, while I spent plenty of time on my Macbook on rather more dedicated games. DirectX 11 is probably in the requirements simply because no one bothered to check with previous versions (however Wine on Mac doesn't properly support DX ≥10, and VMs have trouble too, plus Steam doesn't work under Wine on Mac).
Still missing the best of the Katamaris, though — the second PS2 game — We Love Katamari. Best level designs and stunningly good co-op play. They are leaving money on the table by not porting it.
Others have mentioned this is blocked on https for a Mixed Content violation. Would anyone want a https hosted one? I can spin in up if there's interest.
Rolling around Katamari style worked for about 8 seconds, and then crashed, not just my Firefox, but my froze my entire system on Ubuntu 22.10 (AMD gpu).
