This #stablediffuion is pretty damn cool: https://hackaday.com/2022/09/06/stable-d.. I am seeing increasingly better and more impressive #art come from it. I suspect this will massively change the #landscape of #art #creation for many #websites .
Interesting, it appears as though #manga / #anime is bringing new #users to #pirate #torrent #websites https://torrentfreak.com/pirate-site-tra..
Apparently this #canadian #hacker #aubreycottle is #responsible for creating #anonymous , hacking #parler , #givesendgo , and many other #websites . How on earth is well known #hackivist not in #prison or at least under #investigation ? I suspect some #government hands in this... Very fucking weird.
Very cool #singlepage #html #website https://css-tricks.com/a-whole-website-i.. I think *most* #websites out there could easily be #compressed down to a single page!
#article #complaining about how #heavy #websites are during these days: https://www.cynicusrex.com/file/web4.htm.. I quite liked my #hackernews #comment on this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=293.. The way forwards is to bring #advertising #support into the #browser in a controlled and measured way.
Earlier today #google #cloud #gcp went down took a bunch of *major* #websites #servers down with it, including #spotify , #snapchat , etc: https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/everyt.. And this is one of the negatives to using a #centralized #service ... Imagine if they had even #distributed across more than one #cloud #infrastructure ! They would have still been up!
Interesting, #kape , formerly #crossrider , a former #malware distributor, now owns tonnes of #vpn #services and #review #websites https://restoreprivacy.com/kape-technolo.. This includes some of the most popular services in the world, including #expressvpn , #pia #privateinternetaccess, #cyberghost , etc.. Something *extremely* strange going on here.
I agree with #drewdevault that it's awesome to see these #alternative #frontend #services for major #websites - including #youtube and #twitter in the form of #invideous and #nitter https://drewdevault.com/2021/09/23/Nitte.. I have been considering for a while now to code an ultra-basic web front end for downloading #youtube #videos just for my own use - making use of #youtubedl for the #backend ...
I've also seen this #bullshit on #websites like #amazon where they #offer a #giftcard in #exchange for a good #review https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/17/22680.. Drinking a whole lot of #copium - #china 's #scmp #reports the 3k closed #chinese did not affect their #business - meaning it actually did: https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/artic..
Regarding a new #rss #feed #reader to replace #akregator - one of the features I wish they all have is to parse #html (basically a different #xml format) - most #websites that have an RSS button also offer a list of content somewhere, it should be entirely possible to process... I actually don't want a content preview - I just want to know what links are new for the most part.
