  another victim of pointless Googleisms: Pixiv
• 10:54
  tomman
  can't login anymore with a Pixiv account
• 10:54
  tomman
  (it now wants a Google/Apple/Facebook/Twitter account. WHY!?)
• 10:54
  tomman
  but if you switch the page language to Japanese, you get a classic logon box for use with your Pixiv account
• 10:55
  tomman
  ...except that this now requires Google WebComponents™
• 10:55
  tomman
  TypeError: window.customElements is undefined

  tomman
  the credentials are sent to accounts.pixiv.net/api/login?lang=undefined => wait, what
• 11:00
  tomman
  > lang=undefined
• 11:00
  tomman
  uh... that's not OK
• 11:01
  tomman
  also: clicking the password reset link sends me to pixiv.com/undefined which doesn't exist
• 11:01
  tomman
  so yeah, they went full Chrome :/
