Do I know any founders who write their own content and would participate in a UX interview for Knowatoa's new onboarding for $$?

So this is the part where OpenAI harvests everyone's government ID right?

"Because now that it has adult features they'll need IDs from everyone to ensure safety"?

Part of this is that doing open source *for the money* lost its taboo. It's wider than just OSS; sponsored content went from "what a sellout" to "get that bag" along the same time.

I'm not sure of the cause <-> effect directionality here. My guess is it's more like an intertwined helix.

Before clicking into this I thought it was going to be about the recent wave of ragebait-as-a-company startups!

I'm always cautious with mine too but these Rotax engines are hard to hand prop accidentally. It needs 200rpm to trigger the ignition. Still good to keep out of the way of course but it adds some peace of mind

It's awesome! I think they're working on porting TIE Fighter missions too.

Despite the "alpha" label this seems very polished so far. It's not like a tech demo either, they built out the concourse and mission briefing room and all this stuff that makes it feel like a proper game.

Dave Ceddia @daveceddia.com · Jun 7

This is so awesome! It's like being a kid again but with better graphics.

It's harder than I remember!

X-Wing/TIE Fighter Game Series @xwinggameseries.bsky.social · Jun 5

The public alpha of the XWVM project is really great. The gameplay is really smooth and the HD graphics are really amazing. Check moddb.com/mods/xwvm

omg you can FLY now?!

I've heard good things from friends about the Timeshifter app.

I don't think it helps much after the fact, but it's supposed to help avoid jet lag in the first place.

I think I have finally managed to articulate this very fundamental but slightly counterintuitive fact about how shell redirection works

when you redirect, the shell opens the file BEFORE the program starts

sudo echo blah > file.txt

first I'll open file.txt...

THEN I'll run sudo echo blah

this is why file.txt isn't opened as root!

It seems great in theory!

These services are expensive and indie hackers don't have the cash, probably.

And for building one?

Most indie hackers don't build services. 99% are chasing the 0-hour workweek, decoupling hours from $$ etc

Most indie hackers don't enjoy marketing and/or don't know how

When I check the "captcha", it makes an XHR request and the response contains the full command (base64-encoded) that ends up in the clipboard. So I guess if it's a bug it's probably server-side

Dave Ceddia @daveceddia.com · May 22

Hah, there is! Similar pattern, inserts a command into the clipboard.

cmd /c "powershell -w h -e OwA=" && ✅ I am human

I'm not sure this would do anything? Seems like OwA= is a semicolon

Maybe it only really works on Windows, or this command is bugged like the curl one was.

Ahh ok. I found a couple interesting strings that are used in a bunch of places to decode other stuff in various ways
