it saved them in the recycling bin but my dumb ass still lost them because I pressed the other delete-all-of-your-scripts button instead of the restore button

unrelated but I made a meme yesterday and it got no engagement, (is engagement the correct term?) did lemmy fail to federate it or is it my fault for posting it at 4 am?

      From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit:

      A userscript manager, also known as a userscript engine, is a type of browser extension and augmented browsing technology that provides a user interface to run and organize userscripts. The main purpose of a userscript manager is to execute scripts on predetermined webpages as they are loaded, for example, running a userscript to modify only youtube.com pages. But, userscript managers do a lot more than execute scripts, and screen for the pages they are intended to run on. The most common operations performed by a userscript manager include installing, organizing, creating, copying, saving, deleting, and editing (including modifying webpage permissions of) userscripts.[1]

      Userscript managers use metadata that is embedded in a script’s source code primarily to determine the websites it should execute on and the dependencies necessary for the script to run properly. Metadata can also include information that is useful to the user such as the script’s name, author, description and version number.

      Popular userscript managers include Tampermonkey, Greasemonkey, and Violentmonkey. The Gear browser for IOS has a userscript manager built in.

      Sounds like Violetmoney just has a poorly designed gui
