What I'm curious about is whether this payment information is from spending money or from YouTube's requirement of doing a symbolic credit card payment to authenticate that you're an adult - and other potential checks for Y

Speaking of hosting, Discord used to be one of the biggest (inadvertent) image hosts, so they might have set up the system to reduce legal exposure than to monitor conversations per se.[1] A lot of the internet broke the day they flipped th

From an accessibility perspective, the HTML emoji might be an issue for screen readers. You can still keep them as `h2#foo::before{content: "emoji ";}` CSS pseudo-elements instead, if memory serves. (Used "emoji" as a pl

The number of times I've read articles about the upcoming "Silicon Valley in Europe" warrants an article running through the last twenty years of the EU getting its act together "any day now".

I checked out the website, and it looks more like Instagram than TikTok. We've had a few TikTok-like apps, and it didn't work out. Even the people behind Vine couldn't make their own Byte app take off: https://en.w

stream.place[1] operates in a similar way but for stream livechats! We haven't even begun to scratch the surface on how Bluesky comments are going to be used, apparently. [1]: https://stream.place

I just tried to download a podcast series from Spotify today, and even this turned out to be a massive pain: no dice on gallery-dl, yt-dlp, and the browser doesn't have a dedicated download option, even when logged in. I was redirected

Undo Close Tab - A very handy add-on, adds a button to quickly undo a closed tab. There is probably a shortcut for that, but I cannot bother remembering it. It's Ctrl+Shift+T for those wondering. Works similarly if th

To be be honest, the worst Google-like thing about the before and after is how you have to scroll down to see actual results. On my iPhone, I get half of an app showing below the full sponsored app. Just makes me want to find iOS apps

I remember these from their weird Twitter posting, too. I muted them because they sounded like some weird astroturfing for Twitter that kept getting recommended. https://x.com/ReclaimTheNetHQ

What's the temperature on Pelican [ https://getpelican.com ] these days? Best Python SSG is mostly down to Hugo and Pelican as far as I can tell. I've always loved SSGs, but ActivityPub integration is also looking very a

YouTube does this too when I'm on a VPN through a different country, and it doesn't seem to have a lang: operator to steer it in the right direction. I'd ironically like more results in certain languages - just not lang

There's also grey areas with Steam like when you buy a Steam key for a game outside of Steam through places like GreenManGaming and get your reviews discounted or otherwise flagged arbitrarily based on an opaque authenticity heuristic.

Yep, that's one of the main reasons people are excited for this. Instead of a dedicated ISP modem with 5G, you can just use this, plug it into a gateway WAN port set up as the secondary failover connection, and you'll have a backu

Definitely the least bad outcome, but how much of this catalogue is going to completely drown in the horrid UI of Netflix's apps. Sometimes it feels like Netflix has too much in its catalogue without any good tools to sort through and

Are there any desktop browsers out there that are actually great for making apps for websites, so we don't have to rely on React slop? I've always found it an unelegant, unsandboxed experience to use conventional browsers, but it&

Twitch works overtime to drive people to spend as much time on streamers, which isn't good for either side. Caps on donations, especially based on age, would go a a long way.

One of the things that really has me worried at the moment are people asking chatbots who to vote for ahead of upcoming elections. Especially in parliamentary democracies where people already take political quizzes to make sense of all the

I don't know about using AI to win legal and procedural arguments outright, but it seems like an interesting way to at least help win the war of attrition that corporations and weaponized bureaucracies wage on us to make a buck and k

I don't see a good way to implement this. It sounds like the exact thing that's making prospective Windows 11 users explore other OS's.

It's always been curious to me how scary it always feels to upgrade Windows. One of the things I loved about being on macOS was how boring it was to upgrade - at least until you waited for the .1 update. Windows upgrades feel less

They're not important, but we're also simple creatures who find it amusing when some numbers go up. And KPI's can also be fun for things like A/B testing etc. You could even rig something for some positive reinforcement
