The author seems to be confusing third party ad pop-ups with promotional modals from websites.

> The biggest thing we need is a better way to pay someone over the internet without them knowing who you are.

What's the reason you don't want sellers to know who you are?

That would be like buying things in real life while wearing a ski mask and paying with cash.

This is cool lol

Security is an illusion.

Next.js/RSC has become the new PHP :)

I guess now we'll see more bots scanning websites for "/_next" path rather than "/wp-content".

Why I stopped caring about "Why I stopped [insert something widely used here]" click bait articles

The points look a bit suspicious on this post, 23 points in 20 minutes and 1 comment? Hmm.

Good question, I guess progress to the betterment of society, people's lives, and human knowledge and power.

But no one really knows what future we are heading towards, or what would happen to us in 100,000 years. No one really cares to think that far ahead I guess.

Yes, there is an opt out, make your profile private.

That's why https://tikapi.io exists.

It depends on what information is being scraped and what is it used for.

Scraping people's personal photos and biometric information for shady agencies, is not the same as scraping e-commerce prices, social media posts, or blog websites.

The intention is important. And respecting people's privacy and copyrights.

Right, but they're scraping photos of people from the whole web, which of course includes photos of British and EU citizens.

So it's not just a normal American company in the American market, it wants to be an international company but without respecting international laws, and that's not going to end up well.

Yes, it's simple, S3 is for storing objects, not for processing.

Don't know how they came up with such a bad and complicated cloud design for something that is straight forward.

Huh? Who is a bot?

I'm confused, I don't see what they're offering in this website, looks like a blog post. They just got their hands on a catchy domain name.

Ok, you also have a popup in your website showing that off.

Cool, but, you're not breaking any Guinness world record.

There are solo founders behind many websites and tools and you might not even know that.

> they froze my account because I was accessing it via IMAP

Stop being misleading, this is your assumption.

And while I agree that Google support generally sucks, you can actually contact real humans as a workspace customer easily.

Nothing, it's just a stupid thing for making some headlines, and will be forgotten tomorrow.

Basically, this fancy "protocol", is just a HTTP middleware that throws a payment required error and returns a crypto address lol.

No, that doesn't make any sense, because the web is not a social media.

Rather than the user doing that "delay" installation, it would be a good idea if the package repository (i.e. NPM) actually enforced something like that.

For example, whenever a new version of a package is released, it's published to the repository but not allowed to be installed for at least 48 hours, and this gives time to any third-party observers to detect a malware early.

This is just stupid, React is not slowing down any innovation, on the contrary, it's a great "tool" that is powering the innovation.

No one is stopping you from making a better frontend framework, but can you? Don't think so.

I don't really find these kind of features necessary.

You can, and probably should, do these things in your application code. I mean, it's not really that hard to make a string lowercase, you don't need to define a "virtual colum" for that...

Yeah, at this point, it's certainly annoying.

But to be fair, this technology is still at an early stage, and we don't know it's limits.

It's scary to imagine a future where the development process in companies is fully handled by AI agents, which are the only ones who can read and maintain the code.

It's not a "group specific" technique.

This is smart, but not really unusual.

You forgot to credit the AI who helped you generate this project in a couple of hours ;)

Yeah, it's an over exaggeration to say "impossibly small", it's a pretty normal size for a minimal routing class...

Because a lot of apple fanboys everywhere, they'd rather blame the whole web than the shitty apple software.

And you're charging $3 to export some dots on top of an image from a basic app that probably takes like 1 hour to make... Ugh, so lame.

It's pointless, it's just a matter of time when AI agents will be able to mimic human behavior exactly (they probably already do, it's just not public).

These tests here are easily bypassable, just adding a random delay somewhere during the action phases to mimic humans, and there's already tools for mimicking human mouse movements.

Yes.

They just need to put out a simple changelog for these model updates, no need to make a big announcement everytime to make it look like it's a whole new thing. And the version numbers are even worse.
