I've been playing this via Steam and having a lot of fun. It's very satisfying that you start simple and when you discover a new way you cleanly reset and do it better next run.

It's like reading an article that drops in "moist" in every sentence, I'm literally uncomfortable trying to read this

I've always found Whatsapp a terrible name, but its so established now that 'apping' is understood. If you're big enough it seems that a bad name hardly hold you back.

Reminds me of the old joke:

After Bill and Melinda Gates have their honeymoon, Melinda says, "Now I know why you call it Microsoft."


"To whatsapp" is a common verb, but I have never heard anyone say "apping".

Where do you live where "apping" is understood?


Can confirm that it's an extremely common verb in The Netherlands.

Heard it many times in the Netherlands.

I'm reading a book on Vim and the author mentioned the old "Google is your friend". That aged poorly as well :')


eh, for vi you can limit your search to stackexchange

Be My Eyes connects blind and low-vision users with volunteers who can provide visual interpretation of smartphone images, to companies that provide them with services or employ them, and to artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools that analyze and describe images submitted by our users.

I thought you were being cynical, but yeah the ToS basically says that as well.


I'd love for more screenshots should anyone have and can share. I still don't get a great picture of how it's running in the browser and I find UI choices fascinating. But I imagine I'd need an NDA to see the settings/options :')


It's VSCode, so it's 90% similar to https://vscode.dev There are internal extensions, but they don't dramatically change the look and feel.

I think many VSCode users are not familiar with the Comments UI, but it's used in e.g. the "GitHub Pull Requests" extension. Apart from that, some changes in the list of directories/files (for performance reasons) and a redesigned SCM integration.


I see that makes sense, thank you!


Just because wages are high in SF, and your account was free to create, doesn't mean €1 isn't a barrier for someone in Kenya.

> As of 2026, the minimum wage in Kenya for general domestic workers in major cities is KSh 16,113.75 per month. > KSh 16,113.75 is approximately €106.67 based on the current exchange rate.


Still, why should be Telegram paying for this, when they offer the service for free?


> Though, not at places that have such a strong social mission as this one.

That's the shameful thing really. Yeah it's pretty common to have (GDPR violating) cookies and 'share all analytics' settings on by default with "privacy is very important to us" statements on the website. As "one of those guys" I see this all the time. For a commercial business it's just eye rolling, but these kinds of social good companies really should be held to a higher standard. With that standard just being "privacy by design please".

The websites' feedback form gave me a "try again in !minutes" error so frankly I think the dev team is malicious by incompetence. It's a very pretty site though, so at least there's that.


Could you elaborate? I can't tell with music and voice


You won't tell from the music. It's obviously an AI generated mix when:

- the channel posts multiple mixes per week

- the thumbnail is clearly AI generated

- most importantly, the tracklist never includes any author, because there are none

If you search for "<genre> mix" on YouTube right now, 9/10 results fail these criteria.


Lo-fi channels used to show the artist and song names. These newer ones don't bother with credits, or have made up song titles.

E.g. "funky chicken jam"


But they'd never optimize or loosen guardrails around helping people connect with grandma. It's an interesting hypothesis "use the guardrails to exploit the guardrails (Beat fire with fire)".


Are you suggesting they have explicitly loosened the guardrails for LGBTQ+ individuals, where they wouldn’t for grandmas?


Isn't that the position of the author of this post?

It certainly doesn't sound unreasonable that they would finely tune the model to be more PC. You may not even need to use homosexuality in the context: anything similar would no doubt hit the same relaxation of the rules.


It is, but kinda sounds like nonsense, and it's at best speculation. Occam's razor says it's just yet another roleplaying exploit, which the vendors have never been particularly good at dealing with.


That is basically how I understood the author and what makes the exploit novel, yes. Personally I don't think it's that simple or explicit, but there could be some truth to it?


Your precious comment takes it as gospel, all because someone wrote it in a markdown file and put it on GitHub?


As another commenter pointed out, this also works for Christianity. So I doubt it.


100% they would because that helps avoid bad-PR stories like "Hateful $CHATBOT refuses to help at-risk gay teens with perfectly reasonable sex ed questions!"
