I have a website with some adsense ads (that pay for the server).

I try blocking the most obvious scams by blocking the announcers but it's basically impossible because the same dodgy ones keep coming back with a new name.

Also hard because they're not always in a language you understand.

I don't think I should do all this work instead of the biggest ad company in the world just to earn 5€ per day, but I'm also not aware of any better alternative.

And it was a fork.

It feels like Alexa / Google Home all over again.

They had a revenue of $416 billion in 2025.

That would be like you buying something at the dollar store.

Soulseek is working fine.

But to be honest I never found TPB (or rarbg etc.) really useful for music.

You can have a google account using a not-gmail email.

That's not far off the ads for smartphones with things that I never see people doing in real life.

Currently there's a Google Pixel ad where a grandma takes a photo of a board and Gemini automatically fills her calendar with all the events. Yeah sure.

My new AI personal trainer app will be cheaper than you /s

I got it twice today (it was not even warranted).

Usually for me is when you ask it's opinion about part of the code.

Well the irony is that Claude is very good at writing Elixir ;)

> They honestly don’t need to, because they’re making an avalanche of cash from the iPhone.

Why would they produce "low-end, low-margin Macs" then?

That seems excellent.

I wonder if they finally change the caption editing with the weird timing reference, probably not.

edit: this is what I'm talking about: https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenShot/comments/1s27wre/the_way_c...

edit: can't really try as it crashes on my M1 Sequoia (maybe the install being named OpenShot-v4.0.0-x86_64.dmg was not a good sign ;))

To be honest it was quite closed as well before he bought it.

Before AI or whatever reason for being closed again he actually open it back.

Also the PhysX cards. Not sure how long they were useful.

> A couple of things to note:

I have Claude Code PTSD.

Ownership of what then?

I use it in a very basic way on the $20 plan and the code it produces seems alright (for the parts I care about) but I increasingly can't stand the way it "talks". I may actually change to something else entirely for this reason.

Don't visit India, problem solved.

The big difference is that it's still updated.

Just wanted to mention that in PHP besides Laravel Livewire there's also Symfony Live Components[0]

[0] https://symfony.com/bundles/ux-live-component/current/index....

Not sure detailing how Facebook demoralized them is the best idea.

No thanks.

Building a social network with people in love with shared blocking lists is not a great recipe.

In France it's multiple calls per day.

Especially on landlines mostly used by older people.

The irony is that it's not probably not patentable in Europe.

Thanks. Yes it's a regular plugin that you insert as many times as you want.

Well done.

Recently completed GearPix https://www.gearpix.app/

Which is an app and audio plugin to take and send pictures to a DAW tracks and have them stored in the project file.

Not vibecoded but I must say Claude was a big help to finish and debug my C++ code (which I didn't know before this).

Not exactly the same usage but I run a headless Chromium with Puppeteer on a Raspberry Pi 4 at home for some light ("ethical") web scraping (as a residential IP is essential sometimes to bypass Cloudflare).

A real html page maxes the cores easily but it works. Keeping the pages open instead of closing / reopening tabs helps.

For reference I tried running it in a container inside my low end Synology DS223j but any container running, even doing nothing, ruins disk performances, weird bug.

It's working for me.
