The Best Mario Movie

Play Video: Cory Arcangel & Paper Rad - Super Mario Movie - 2005

I saw this movie in game design class. It was an example of how game engines can be used to create art outside of video games. A lot of the other students were mocking and making jokes about it, which disappointed me. I think this movie is beautiful, it deserves more respect.

I worry that if I talked too much about the movie I would only be stating the...

I Moved My Jekyll Website from Windows to WSL2 Ubuntu

Hello! I got a new laptop, and this one has Windows 11 on it, so I finally decided to stop procrastinating and actually install WSL2. (WSL2 is also available on Windows 10, but when I last checked you needed to sign up for the Windows Insider Program, but that may not be the case anymore?)

I use Jekyll to automatically generate some of the pages on this website, like the previews of each post on the home page, or the pages...

NoScript Blocks the <object> Tag when it Blocks Scripts

A screenshot of NoScript's settings. Under the title 'Enable these capabilities', script is unchecked and object is checked.

NoScript has separate checkboxes for blocking "scripts" and "objects". I assumed that unchecking "scripts" would only block <script> tags on a page; and that leaving "object" checked would allow all <object> tags to work as normal. When I was adjusting the CSS of my Vib-Ribbon post, I noticed the animated background, which is an @keyframes-animated-SVG embedded via an <object> tag, had disappeared. It would seem that blocking JavaScript using NoScript also blocks <object> tags, even if the data of the <object> tag does not contain any JavaScript. This is not the case with other methods of blocking JavaScript, such as using uBlock Origin or setting permissions in Chromium.

Animated SVGs Use High CPU and Freeze when used as an Image

An SVG animated with CSS @keyframes defined in the SVG itself (not the page's CSS) will use high CPU on Firefox if the SVG is linked to in the src attribute of an <img> tag, or linked to in a background-image CSS property on the page. In addition, an animated SVG in a background-image may freeze on chromium.

I tested different ways of putting an animated SVG on a page; the option that performed best was the <object> tag, inline svg was a close second.
