I joined but seemingly I had to click start on the youtube video and there was no centralized sync sever. I can only assume the song in the 2hr mix that was playing for me, well, wasn’t playing for everyone else which kills the whole vibe o

This is exactly what I am building right now, Stream Deck with two buttons too (push to talk and enter)! It's a sweet little pet project, and has been a blast to build so far. Excited to finally add it to my workflow once its working w

This was also my observation after growing up in New England and then moving to Denver, Colorado. People were much more open to conversation than I was previously used to which felt like a breath of fresh air. I realized people in New Engla

This brings me back, I had this happen to me on comcast back in ~2014 - reset the master key on the account and attacker gained access into all my parents emails as well since they were also via comcast. I’ll never forget waking up to that

I deal with the exact same mental model. I think for me, while actively gaming I do have fun. It’s only after the fact I look back on the time wasted gaming and think “wow, I really should have worked on that project I want to build instead

My mom does the same thing regarding “sales”, even after explaining to her the marketing/reasoning aspects of them. If she sees something on sale that was “originally $900” but on sale for $80, shes excited to buy it. It quite literall

This might be the first time I felt disappointed and sad reading an article like this. The commented username and password felt like something from an early 2000s tv show with the tech guy doing “hacking”. Wonder how many others stumbled up

I’m confused. Isn't this more or less just listening to someone when they speak? I guess seeing it from their perspective isn’t a default for some people? I usually work in analogies when trying to share my understanding of what they s

You should also mention it was made with a templating engine you created! Makes it a lot cooler as a demo!

Instantly spammed with fake android security breach popup ads on mobile, absolutely will not be trying this. This is probably why .xyz TLD is blacklisted from so many places.

Wow, thats pretty bad. Reminds me of the old Paypal Invoice scams where scammers would upload the paypal logo as the invoice logo (which appears top left) and essentially “bill” the user. The scammer the adds inside the invoice note a para

Oh wow, this brought me back! I used to be obsessed with papercraft back in the day as a kid, specifically “pepakura”. I used to print out halo 3 helmets and build them and wear them. It was like a puzzle on steroids in the cool department!

Why does it seem like phishing is popular again? Maybe bad actors forgot how gullible humans were? I get phishing attempts nearly daily via email or sms and I honestly thought “Who would fall for this?” every time one came in. The only phis

I agree that proper permission should be used for these examples, but I’m quite sure the image in question is AI generated. The quality is incredible these days as to what can be generated, and even to a trained eye it’s getting more diffic

Wow, to be honest I never knew that was there - just got back from the 2017s. Such a cool feature to support on-site without going through third parties, more sites should have official archival support like this! Thanks for the share.

Honestly, I’ll take what CS2 is giving any day of the week over the Bevis and Butthead/Nikki Minaj/Terminator anime laser skins that call of duty has been putting out lately. At least they stick to the standardized models.

Is the joke this isn’t microservices and literally just an expressjs api that sends the user to youtube? Why the copy paste for each of the route handlers? Why not just a single endpoint? I’m so confused

This sounds like a wonderful project, do you have any documentation of the process you wouldn't mind sharing? Would love to play around with something similar to what you did, almost like a mini-internet.

Yeah, there was no hijacking of a server-side websocket at all, just sending client socket messages to the server since there is no auth or ratelimiting. Sucks thats it’s so frequent, ruins the experience. You can essentially do this to any

This sounds great. In a sea of paid ad placements and algo-recommended content, it’s hard to “surf the web” like I did in the early 2000s. It was a challenge to sit on googles homepage and think to myself “Hmm, what do I want to look up tod

Cookie Clicker got me into programming back in the day! Super simple structure (back then) and fun way to experiment with coding in an interactive way with visual feedback.

This is actually the premise of an episode of Black Mirror in Season 6 called “Joan is Awful”. Shows an interesting dark take on the negatives that could potentially arise from this - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joa

I still stand by the fact that quitting sugar was the hardest addiction I’ve ever had to overcome - more so than even nicotine. I had to chew doublebubble sugar gum to ween myself off the dependance. Best choice I’ve ever made.
