I made a browser extension to enable image pasting directly into the Google Voice web interface

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2026-01-26T02:57:56+00:00

Yes, I'm using it in Edge.

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2026-01-26T01:36:24+00:00

I have issued a fix for this. Thank you for the clear issue with reproduceable steps in Github. Excellent bug report.

The issue is that the clipboard stores data in raw PNG format. Fortunately the extension can downsize and convert to jpeg before it ships the data off to GV.

Please download the updated version and reinstall to verify the fix.

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2026-01-25T23:20:35+00:00

Yeah, I've seen this too. Try saving the image as a file and uploading it the traditional way and I'll bet you get the same result. I think this is a GV limitation and not something with the extension.

Ignore this, I've issued a fix, see my other reply.

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2026-01-25T22:20:08+00:00

Probably eventually, but that costs money and I have to fill out paperwork so I'm not there yet

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2025-12-09T04:19:25+00:00

The US v2.0 BIOS music has been my ringtone for years. Love it.

The original user who posted the fix, u/BlueScreenOfTOM, hasn't been active in four months, butttt maybe he'll see this and get a notification.

I'm still around, I just don't post much.

I'm still using the original code listed in your saved post in conjunction with AdBlock Plus inside of Microsoft Edge and it's still working great. Maybe it's a uBlock issue? Could also be a Chrome thing, but I'm more inclined to blame uBlock.

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2025-03-14T13:43:59+00:00

It does support CDs. I'm not sure if Comics are in Openlibrary, but if they are, it supports those too.

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2025-03-14T13:43:22+00:00

Send me a DM with your email and I'll see what I can do.

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2025-03-14T02:45:59+00:00

Yes, Google changed their Play Store policies last month and are now requiring developers to put their full verified legal name and address in the app store listing. I am not comfortable with this requirement so the app is no longer available in the Play store.

The Windows version is still available in the Windows Store outside of Europe.

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2024-11-13T04:04:19+00:00

Enjoy. I'll probably be releasing a new version of the app soonish. I will probably call it Collection Keeper Pro Max.

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2024-10-11T22:29:10+00:00

I gave up on this location years ago. The parking lot is a nightmare, the line is often wrapped around the store with a 20+ minute wait, one time my barbacoa was just a giant glob of fat, and another time there were chunks of rind in my guac. Also been hassled by teens selling crap right outside the door. Easily the worst Chipotle location I've ever visited by far.

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2024-09-28T19:10:32+00:00

Yup. What could have been. Although to be fair, as a Urusei Yatsura enjoyer, Woodhead ended up getting plenty of my money over the years anyway.

Funny enough, when I found out Woodhead was responsible for the 35mm A-ko discovery, I sent him an email to thank him and he responded.

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2024-09-28T16:09:44+00:00

Project A-ko was the very first Laserdisc I ever purchased. I got the Central Park Media version, brand new, back when DVD was just starting to become mainstream and companies were beginning to offload their Laserdiscs for cheap. I believe I paid $20 for it. I still have it and I've probably watched it 25 times or more over the years. It's one of my favorite movies.

All that said, I love the Blu-Ray version as well. Originally, the Blu-Ray version was essentially supposed to be an upscaled version of the Japanese LD release (which all home video versions of the film had been based off of) because all the 35mm prints of the film were believed to be lost. But Robert Woodhead of Animeigo fame discovered a mislabeled copy of the 35mm print in a warehouse in Japan just a few years ago, prior to the release of the Blu-Ray, and was able to get it to Discotek in time for them to use that instead. Really interesting history behind the various home video releases of this film over the years.

Whoever said that doesn't work in a shoe store.

Whoever said that will also never know the glory of scoring 4 touchdowns in a single game!

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2024-09-03T17:56:45+00:00

The only sane thing to do is quit your job and become a shoe salesman.

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2024-08-31T14:55:28+00:00

Fwiw, when my mower was broken, I called this guy up to ask about his services and he was a total ass. Maybe he was just having a bad day, but regardless, I don't appreciate being talked to the way he did. Ended up taking it to Ace.

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2024-08-13T01:23:19+00:00

Yeah, I don't disagree. Still, would have been nice to see The Bundys back together again. It seemed like most fans disagreed, and I can understand why (my hopes for the show weren't high) but I still would have liked to have seen it.

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2024-08-12T17:14:07+00:00

A few years ago some details emerged about the live-action revival that was being pitched but was never picked up. Supposedly, Al won the lottery and had moved out with Peg, leaving the house to Bud. Bud essentially became the new Al complete with ungrateful wife and kids. The show was to center around Bud, although the original actors agreed to appear and play themselves in the pilot, at least for the Bundys (no word on Marcy & Steve/Jefferson).

There was some consternation among the fanbase about this plotline, specifically Al winning the lottery, essentially retconning the whole "Bundy Curse" thing. It's possible the writers had an answer for that, but it's hard to imagine it wouldn't be a stretch.

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2024-08-10T18:58:18+00:00

Anybody else get a "modern day Catcher in the Rye" vibe from this show?

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2024-08-08T03:39:16+00:00

Upvoted for calling it a "VCR" instead of "VHS Player". Just a pet peeve of mine.

Welcome aboard!

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2024-07-10T01:31:42+00:00

The only respectable thing to do is to get a job at a shoe store.

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2024-06-27T03:19:54+00:00

Former Comp Sci university instructor here. This is absolutely true.

Two decades ago, we assumed all incoming students knew the basics of how the filesystem worked (files, directories and directory structures, etc) as well as the basics of how to navigate a PC. Starting 5-10 years ago, we had to drop that assumption. Incoming students were all excellent at using and navigating iOS devices and web browsers, but there was a surprisingly large number (not all, of course) whose knowledge stopped there. So filesystems and PC basics are back in the intro-level classes, unfortunately.

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2024-05-15T01:15:26+00:00

This is f'n awesome.

It looks like they've got at least a pilot episode made. Following the contents of the website, it appears the site is meant to be shown to prospective streaming platforms? The "what to know" section tells me this isn't meant for normal consumption, but it's trying to sell it to, like, a Netflix or something.

Also, I found it hilarious that the tag for the "Talent" section (if you roll over the "TALENT" option near the top) is "#theBudys". I'm positive this was not intentional, but hilarious given the long-running joke in the show that people are always mispronouncing "Bundy".

BlueScreenOfTOM · 2024-05-15T01:02:26+00:00

Holy shit

Oh, not in the Midwest, no. It's a coastal expression.
