Author of said extension here. I've been getting some reports of this happening in a few countries, namely Australia and the US so far. See https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-…

There's one of Madrid that also dates to 1830 that is insanely impressive, too: https://www.madrid.es/UnidadesDescentralizadas/UDCMedios/not...

You don't need to do any of that to sign and notarize an app that you are distributing yourself.

Well, depending on the type of beer, that's intentional. It's not always the faux-pas that it would be to do this when serving cask ale in the UK.

This looks super fun, actually. I wonder what it is actually building. Tauri apps, maybe?

I've been using Synology Drive to sync Obsidian between different machines and my android phone and it works great. I've never seen a need to use the official sync.

No, fortunately in my case it's not tempting at all. It's easy to see how many people in less advantaged positions would end up selling out, though.

I was just having a quick search and the only email I can find that offered a price range up front was for $0.1-0.4 per user, and that was from 2023. So I assume up to a dollar per…

I have published an extension [1] that has 100k+ users and I've probably received hundreds of emails over the years asking me to sell out in one way or another. It's honestly relen…

Not that I know of, unfortunately.

At the time there was a bit of momentum behind the idea of mutable torrents: https://torrentfreak.com/mutable-torrents-proposal-makes-bit...

This is cool - I actually worked on something similar way back in the day: https://github.com/tom-james-watson/wtp-ext . It avoided the need to have any kind of intermediary websit…

RIP my phone's speakers. Maybe I should have read the post first..

I tried it out this morning and it felt really rough, unfortunately. It was super slow (thought I think that applies to CLI Codex too), it wasn't outputting any text explaining wha…

I also received the same phishing email and I only have packages with a few thousand downloads per week.

I actually also received this phishing email, also read it while half-asleep after a 6 week break and clicked on it. Luckily I was saved by exactly this - no password suggestion ma…

There oddly seems to be a concerted effort online to paint the UK as some kind of failing police state recently. This narrative seems to have really taken off with some Americans, …

For me this crashed in android webview, android chrome, and android firefox. Impressive.

I actually did the same video on desktop and the same answers worked fine! Screenshots of it failing in an android webview, but passing on desktop firefox: https://imgur.com/a/vALl…

Really cool idea! I tried a few Spanish ones (I speak Spanish) and unfortunately it was marking things as incorrectly wrong on 2/5 videos I did!

I did the same too, but by ingesting Wikipedia's current event portal. The result is a decent balance of world events, but without the sensationalism. https://detoxed.news/ https:/…

I'm glad I stuck with Firefox. At least you know it's not going to be abandoned.
