Disable Typing Animation in Discord by running this in the console

DisableTypingAnimationDiscord.js

// For some reason, the typing notification (and its associated animation) seems to use a lot of processing
//   This causes the fans on my laptop to run audibly whenever someone is typing
//   This script brute force disables it, since there's no option to reduce animation in Discord
// To run, apply the following code to the console. You can access the console within the devtools, accessible with hotkey:
//   Mac: Command+Option+I
//   Windows: Control+Shift+I
// Running this script only affects your current Discord session, so it will have to be done every time you start Discord
// Once you finish pasting this, close the devtools with the X in the top corner
document.head.appendChild(document.createElement('style')).innerHTML = '[class^="typing-"] { display: none !important; }';

Please note, unless you know what you're doing (which I do, as a web developer), please do not mess with the devtools or console. You can cause Discord to crash or, if you paste scripts by malicious actors, you can have your data or account stolen. There's even a warning in Discord's console to this effect.

This script will disable the entire notification indicating someone is typing, not just the animated part. You can further refine this styling if you wanted to only disable the animation.

The script above is very simple, it does the following:

1. Creates a CSS style tag and immediately inserts it into the bottom of the HTML's head tag, which is where most styles go.
2. The returned value of the insertion operation (appendChild) is the style tag just created.
3. That reference is used to insert the content of the style using innerHTML.
4. The style contents find the element on the page with the class starting with "typing-", which is what Discord uses to style the typing animation (and the whole notification text as well).
5. This element is told to not render with display: none, and that command is forced to not be ignored with !important.

does this still work
