Check your extensions, might be blocking the cookie banner. For me uBlock blocked the cookie banner. Afterwards it worked just fine.

If you had to pick one package manager that was most likely installed across all the different user machines in the world, I'd say npm is a pretty good bet.


Pip.


The gag started on Twitter after Cloudflare vibe coded a nextjs replacement clone.

If you know that context and the tweet I feel this is more obvious that it is a joke.

Just because you didn't get the joke, does not make it a really shit joke. The funniest jokes rely on context.


Good that they have a web version.

But the most basic functionality of going to the next video is only available via scroll (no keyboard arrow down?) and it has a really long animation and delay?

Just feels awful to use.

I feel if you wanna win in this space, especially with people who prefer more "free" platforms, then the non-app version should be a bigger priority IMO.


I have used Slack Connect once in my 8 years of using slack. I agree it can be a moat, but that's not the case for everyone.

Slack doesn't have one "main thing" it's doing perfect. They have just all around great product, with some weaknesses here and there.

- Solid mobile app

- very good API with good SDKs

- easy to build very rich slack bots, with good building blocks

- Good notification management

- Workflows for non technical people that make automation easy

- Good level of customization

- Good enough performance

- Video/Audio calls are good enough

So when a company is questioning what tool to use Slack is an easy go-to. "Nobody gets fired for buying IBM" type of tool.

Can you live without it? yeah. But do you really wanna focus on what chat platform your company should be using or just focus on your product?


It even supported running as a MySQL Replica at some point.

"MaterializedMySQL"

Sadly that feature seems to have been thrown out, probably due to complexity.

Mostly due to support, at least on the PG side.

They bought peerdb and offer it as clickhouse pipes so I suspect the incentive to support that feature is pretty low


Kind of weird way to put it. Turbopack was not a real product for years. It was forever stuck in weird beta/alpha stage and only recently went and became the default for NextJS.

Vite has been stable for years at least 5 years now and is built-upon because it's fast, stable, reliable and a bit less complicated than Webpack.


The Crypto scam is just a recent trend of scammers. They are using big open source projects/developers as figure heads, the maintainers have nothing to do with this, but there is nothing really stopping the scammers.


Breaks many websites though and you'll be wondering why something doesn't work and then you have to remember you checked that ublock checkbox a few months ago.


I think in the last 12 months of using that unlock list I've only counted less than five times where sites have broken with that list enabled, I don't have to even disable the entire list. You just disable u-block for that specific site


I've found it to happen much more frequently than that, unfortunately. Usually it's because the modal is two DOM elements - a backdrop, that fades out the rest of the content and sits on top of it/prevents interaction; and the actual consent modal. Websites then use various mechanisms to prevent scrolling. uBlock is often only removing the actual dialog, so you end up with a page you can't scroll up or down and can't interact with.

If you're going to turn the filters on, it's worth being aware of this because it's far from flawless.


Until this moment, I did the same thing… but right now I realize, this behavior incentivizes a domain owner to intentionally break their site, to trick the visitor to disable their blocker.

Then the browser: refreshes the page, downloadz all the thingz… presents cookie banner.

I’ve been using uBlock (or Brave) for years now, and when “something doesn’t work right” the first thing I often do is lower my shields… :facepalm:

From now on, I’ll just bounce. Keep your cookies, I’m not hungry.


Complain and use a different site. There are only few websites which offer a truly unique service. If enough complain and walk away, something might finally change.


I've never seen a website break from this, got any examples?


LinkedIn - it takes you to the allow/deny page but doesn't automate things. It used to be that the LinkedIn login would get stuck in a cycle around this, but now it just dumps you on to the consent page.


I mean, no great loss.


If a website gets broken by this it isn’t a site worth visiting


Thanks for the warning, I'd turned on those lists when I read the parent comment and would not have had a good time troubleshooting that.


I feel like TTS is one of the areas that as evolved the least. Small TTS models have been around for like 5+ years and they've only gotten incrementally better. Giants like ElevenLabs make good sounding TTS but it's not quite human yet and the improvements get less and less each iteration.
