The source of the project is compiled via Sass and each hamburger type is its own partial. Simply comment out the ones you don’t need before you compile, and you’ll only get what you need.
Gzipped the entire CSS file hamburgers.min.css is 3KB.
However, still no excuse. Which is why I also included the source, which is designed to be modular so you don’t have to include the whole library. The CSS is compiled via Sass and each type is its own partial that can simply be commented out. When compiled with only one of the larger types, that trims the CSS down to 1KB.
I also purposely have each type commented in the expanded CSS hamburgers.css so one can easily scan and delete the type(s) they don’t need.
Exactly. My Github account looks dormant because I don't have many public repos, but I check in code nearly every day in a bunch of private repos. Don't assume that an account is inactive just because it has no public posts. A company should determine active/inactive status based on logins.
For the record, Brian addresses her account activity:
> "Her account has been private for a long time. Only posts a few photos of our kids… BUT she often likes and comments and stays connected on her phone with it. In my opinion that’s not really inactive."
> "We encourage people to actively log in and use Instagram once they create an account. To keep your account active, be sure to log in and share photos, as well as like and comment on photos. Accounts may be permanently removed due to prolonged inactivity, so please use your account once you sign up!"
The wording is terribly obtuse and seems targeted more for username squatters.
Would be helpful if Instagram defined what a period of prolonged inactivity is. Shady nonetheless, considering they didn't even notify her informing her that her username was revoked due to inactivity.
You would think a warning email would be worthwhile.
If someone was really name squatting they would write a script to log in once a week. So if you genuinely want to release unused names an email to the person informing them would be the least you could do.
As it is, it looks like someone at facebook just took the name for their own.
This would be a much more interesting story if it sounded like the authors wife used Instagram more than once a year. I can't help but not care without more context. If someone is sitting on a name on an account that rarely gets used and rarely gets tagged, what's the problem? Now if his wife was using Instagram every day and this happened... Well that would be an interesting story.
If someone took my handle on instagram and thus I can no longer access any of my photos I would LOSE MY SHIT. It's totally unacceptable, especially for non techies who don't back up their stuff, to jut shut off access to your memories.
First of all, they didn't disable access - everything is there under a different handle. Secondly, you might lose your shit because you actually use Instagram. The author's wife doesn't use Instragram by the sounds of it - why does she get to sit on the name? She didn't buy it, it was never hers to begin with.
So you completely rely on a free web service to store something that important to you? It's unlikely now that they're owned by fb, but trusting a zero-revenue startup to offer you free access to some photos indefinitely probably isn't the safest assumption.
At least according to the quoted policy, it appears being tagged by others or logging in and viewing photos doesn't actually count as activity at all. Which is a really shit policy.
Yes, but they didn't say they would do that, they said they would remove them - although the ToS probably doesn't give the offended customer any recourse, and the fact that the service is free means they have no leverage to challenge the ToS in court. The lesson here is that if you're not very busy and you have a name someone else wants, it can be taken away from you.
I wonder if the time period varies based on whether it is a requested user name. IE, they let you keep it until somebody else tries to sign up with that user name after at least 6 months of your inactivity.
I doubt people would pay money for it, but it'd be nice to have a service that periodically logs in you your accounts just to keep them "active". Or at a minimum, a reminder. I use my instagram account as read-only these days, but it would be a [minor] bummer to lose my account because I'm "inactive".
