I built a satirical social network called shlinkedin. It started as a way for me to learn elixir and make fun of thought leadership with my roommate, and has gradually gotten bigger. It’s all open source and a ton of fun to work on. Everyone is an alter ego (think Beff Jezos or Office Spider), and it’s hilarious to see how much people commit to the characters they create. And I can’t say enough good things about work…
Idea is just learning me some Web VR by building a site about VR that can be visited in VR, like a meta-meta-museum :-)
This is nowhere near complete or functional, and I don’t expect it to move super fast, so not much to see yet, but exploring web VR has been fun!
I'm building https://www.taaalk.co/ , it's a social network for conversations. The site went down a few months ago, but now it's back up. The first new Taaalk I'm having is with another engineer, and we're trying to publicly solve a technical chanllenge - how to repopulate the Taaalk database from archive.org download. https://www.taaalk.co/t/repopulating-the-taaalk-database-fro... I love Taaalk so much. I love all t…
Think of how many interesting conversations happen in walled gardens like slack, telegram, discord. Very thoughtful and in-depth sharing from users that would most likely be valuable for others to read. And valuable for these people themselves to re-read in the future at a specific easily accessible / shareable url.
The reason these people share in the walled gardens is because it's a conversational / social atmosphere, not necessarily because it's a private discord server (IMO). And it's just that the walled gardens have become the popular place for discussing things. So it's more natural. This is to say I don't think people would be against having their conversations being in public, searchable, like taaalk is trying to do. I think a lot of people would prefer it, professional types. People who use these communities to learn and develop. Rather than the anonymous s*#@ posters who don't really leave a trail or anything valuable either.
taking care of google ;-) I have a search tool / catalog of duckduckgo !bang operators https://mosermichael.github.io/duckduckbang/html/main.html - i am hoping that it allows for better discoverability of specialized search engines. The latest addition is a description for each search engine, just hover over the name, and you get a description derived from the sites meta and title tags. I think that specialised searc…
Is there a mobile equivalent to the hovering, to get the short description you mention?
Believe it or not, I sell the following on Fiverr as radiantxp21: "I will special stocks and option picks lose all your money fast and intelligently" I know, it sounds a bit, non-English, but in my defense: it was my first time using Fiverr and I had no clue how to use it. The ad is up for a few months already, and I had many laughs creating it, but yesterday I had my first client! I panicked, I realized that I am as…
> I know, it sounds a bit...non-English Should one in 18th century verse himself be passingly versed your crier's cry rings out artfully. One fraud's earnest scheme to a knowing fraud's great mirth does bring a wild-cat's prey; loss an LLC's bounty. edit: s/knowing fraud/knowing fraud's/g; sorry for the typo
Wait, that was the typo in this post?
There is a company registered that commits the following mobile ads fraud: * The buy targeted ads from Google, served on YouTube targeting small children and clients of a particular carrier * When you click on the ad (even if by mistake) you find that you are subscribed to a game service and immediately charged a small fee (5 euros) via your carrier (DCB). You may or may not see a chrome window open and close. * If y…
But a month or so ago we were tracking down some other issues and requested detailed connection logs for 2 of our SIM cards. And what do we find there? DCB/premium SMS charges. It looks like they are just filtering them out from our invoice and not charging them to us, but some backend system somewhere is still processing those fees.
So it seems like this whole DCB thingy is way more unregulated as one would think. Now I'm really interested how the charges even started appearing on our SIMs, why they did not resolve them at the source and how many people get their money stolen that way and they don't notice a few EUR here and there (fees were around 1eur in our case).
Interesting stuff.
On a more serious note, I made a game with a friend that I care a lot about: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1462830/Super_Sketchy_Par...
https://siftrss.com/ I've been running siftrss for about five years now. It lets you enter an RSS feed, add a filter, and get a new RSS feed excluding the stuff you specify. I made it to scratch my own itch. Originally it wasn't going to be public but I thought, "eh what the heck, it's only a bit more effort to put a simple interface on it." Since then more than 100k feeds have been created and donations have paid fo…
