    Would love to see a demo of this.

    Yes, I have heard this called a link cloaking hack, methinks.

    I believe this might be the Ship Canal Water Project? https://www.seattle.gov/utilities/neighborhood-projects/ship... I'll give you one guess if I'm a local or not!

    This is a really clever idea. I have very little energy to behoove myself to get started on fediverse/FOSS platforms, but am always happy if a friend or piece of media provides a l…

    My snarky frontend response is "devs will do anything to avoid fixing their CSS," but truly the task is too herculean to bother with on any most timescales. (You think "Untangle an…

    All (or at least nearly 2000) of Mr. Rogers episodes are available on Archive.org. It's really great to be able to share these with our child, and us parents often appreciate the b…

    I was curious to find out a few years ago that a friend of a friend worked for an agency that frequently worked with KFC. They seemingly got paid to just paly pranks and create buz…

    I'm curious if anybody knows of any 'practical guides' to the four day work week, or toolsets that can help traditional organizations make four day work week a reality. We hear abo…

    I find this to be a bit of a slippery slope argument (not to mention that I think tying panhandling to tipping to be a shaky comparison at best), but it is socially compelling, and…

    Sure, it's becoming commonplace. Does that stop people from voting with their fingers? What noise needs to be made to stop what? I'm really trying to understand. I think I am kind …

    It's unbelievable to me how popular complaining about tipping is now, and probably all because a handful of POS systems that are quite common have an option to show default tip per…

    I am becoming more and more convinced that many techy folks near the AI scene saw that SD et alia can create an image that convincingly (and perhaps even indistinguishably) looks l…

    +1, Daniel Shiffman is an absolute treasure. His studio setup is fantastic and him and his team (?) produce incredible videos.

    As a West-coast American, I have only ever heard 'hover' as "huvver."

    A few potential reasons: In games the rewards are much more immediate, even if we play a game that requires waiting. Gardens and forests may not be near, available, or accessible w…

    As soon as you suggested that such an embedded PNG may only work on an older client, a lightbulb went off for me. Most spam is predicated on attacking those too technologically lit…

    I would be happy to start from a definition of doxxing and explain why it is not a good thing, but I am curious as to why you might not find the prospect of your address and phone …

    These were largely upsell emails to existing AT&T customers, and I was a designer/developer for a marketing agency, so I barely had anything to do with the sending. Think like the …

    I built HTML emails once upon a time - "in the trenches sending spam emails" is how I describe it. One can only send so many undesired trash missives that literally have no effect …

    I created a clunky discord bot that listens to everything my friends and I say on discord and uses that data in Markov chains to talk to us. The bot has various random chance param…

    A "strongly implied message," whether it's truly there or not, does not "clear cut hypocrisy" make. This reminds me of a similar meme in recent/current cultural memory: 'Anti-woke'…

    Patrick H Willems has a great video where he discusses how superhero media has moved away from it's core audience of children and teens. He does a good job of discussing what's los…

    The fact that we have better health infrastructure in most places worldwide than ever before in human history is true. But saying a surprise, out-of-the-blue 2.5k medical bill can …
