gilded tier on the rank tracker is $10k p/m but occasionally clicks through and makes $7.5k of purchases, which are then sold new with tags on various marketplaces (giving you a $2.4k coupon for next month and undermining the brand).

What's the name of the browser extension that emulates robots.txt and forces your browser to behave respectfully?
As in, it blocks the browser from making any requests to assets caught by a disallow for a given UA.
Did I dream this? Or did it used to exist, but now breaks permission policies?

I wrote a little thing for the HTML Hell advent calendar from @matuzo.at — but on a good improvement to HTML rather than a hellish thing 🙂

This is old news about convenience store egg technology, but it was the most interesting thing I learned today (this says something about me), and I'm sharing in an attempt to remember the word "kimipuchi" in future.

There's a phenomena with generated content (text, audio, video) where I think the relief/euphoria some people feel once it produces something that looks right ("now I don't have to do this anymore!") clouds their assessment.

the youtube vs yt-dlp arms race is hilarious, because of how lopsided it is.
on the one hand, you've got a company with the GDP of Denmark who has about a manhattan-project's worth of developers they can assign to this.
but on the other end, you've got every bored or annoyed javascript hacker.
