Watch Netflix at work by making it look like you’re on a conference call
- _nalply 7y agoI get it. If you need this you have a bullshit job. Go read David Graeber's book «Bullshit Jobs». At my last bullshit job I programmed for my hobby projects on the job. Nobody was the any wiser.
- lol768 7y agoIt makes me sad when WebExtensions are limited to Chrome for no real reason :(
- writepub 7y ago70% market share is reason enough. Start with chrome, and if there's traction, port to other browsers
- lol768 7y ago>port to other browsers Except it requires literally no 'porting' at all: it runs fine out of the box without modification https://lol768.com/i/ReveilleAgitationsIncurablesBicyclist https://lol768.com/i/ReveilleAgitationsIncurablesBicyclist This is just laziness.
- demarq 7y agovery well executed!
- ryanmercer 7y agoReminds me of a past job 14~ years ago, I was in SAP and spreadhseets pretty much all day so I made my MIRC wallpaper an SAP window and had the font and colors set up similar so if someone snuck up it looked like I was just looking at SAP and I could casually minimize the active chat window. Similarly I would read Project Gutenberg titles at that job by opening then in notepad and then copy pasting sections into an outlook draft. AT my current job I could probably get away with playing a MUD, I'm in AS400 terminal windows all day so I could sit there with CMUD on a monitor and no one would have a clue unless they came up and actually read the window (Edit: and actually when I first started here sometimes I'd open a CMD and watch telnet Star Wars).

- reaperducer 7y agoI remember back in the 90's there were some pretty high-profile computer games that had "boss keys" where you could smack F1 or something and the game would pause and the screen would show a spreadsheet. Can anyone remember any of them?
- shoes_for_thee 7y agoleisure suit larry, for one. being a child at the time of its release, the boss key made absolutely no sense to me. neither did any of the humor in the game.
- Deimorz 7y agoI don't know how complete it is, but there's a list on MobyGames: https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/games-with-boss-key/offset,0/so,1a/ https://www.mobygames.com/game-group/games-with-boss-key/off...
- MiddleEndian 7y agoIt came out in 2006 but Defcon had a similar feature, as well as status updates in the system tray so you'd be able to follow some of what was going on even when it wasn't active.

- elchief 7y agoGenius! My old employer blocked Netflix though. I didn't want to watch movies, but they had some interesting looking machine learning blog articles that I couldn't read
- shakehar 7y agoOne of my old eployers did the same and so I resorted to using one of those convert url to pdf sites to read the such blogs.
- hyw 7y agoanyone have any clue what the mschf.xyz/venmo link at the bottom is about? a little skeptical about the concept of being paid (a nominal sum?) via venmo as a substitute to an email newsletter subscription. for example, how would I unsubscribe?
- wickedOne 7y agopreposterous! i wonder how many people who welcome this idea as a work thing, actually had to pay someone's salary some point in their carreer...

- withinboredom 7y agoLet people go home when they’re done for the day? Not care what people do all day as long as they complete their tasks? Why does “work” have to 9-5 once you get a fancy degree? Some people like working nights.
