The GitHub needs a video demo. I’m too lazy to install this just to see it in action.

Note: This appears to be a fork of Sam Henri Gold’s recent lid-angle sensor project, with the wav file changed. The readme does give credit, though the license has been changed from Apache to MIT for some reason. Original: https://github.com/samhenrigold/LidAngleSensor Demos (no farts, sorry): https://hachyderm.io/@samhenrigold/115159295473019599 https://hachyderm.io/@samhenrigold/115159854830332329

Thanks for this!

Sam Henri Gold's readme is really funny, especially in comparison to Fartscroll-Lid's soulless AI emoji slopfest of a readme.

What you really want is two slightly different "NOM NOM" noshing sounds on open and close so you can feed it some flash drives and instantly wear out the hinge as you rapidly make your laptop mimic an eating motion. I'm sure the fine details of the Apple warranty covers cookie monster roleplaying.

As long as we're testing the warrantee, how about a Farty Bird game where you flap by opening and closing your MacBook screen really fast!

Nice. Or Pac-Man in a QWOP style movement system where the angle of the screen determines how open his mouth is. :)

The bullet lists, emojis, and a weird focus on insanely specific technical details, are a telltale sign of Claude Driven Development.

The most funny thing is that a primary school humor app is native and probably not vibe coded, while all* those serious apps that make it to the HN front page pull half of npm...

* except the rewrites of existing software in Rust of course.

I already think the power-on noise sounds like an obnoxious fart. I can never remember how to suppress it so I refuse to turn a macbook on around other people. I may as well install this to reaffirm that yes, this is an Apple product (in case you fail to see the prominent logo) and yes, I am better than everyone else for owning one (/sarc).

Open System Settings, click "Sound" in the sidebar. Under the "Sound Effects" section, you'll find a toggle labeled "Play sound on startup". Turn this off to permanently disable it. Otherwise, the startup sound is tied to the audio level you had before last shutdown.
