Hello from the passenger seat on a long car ride. Passed some time by putting a game that I made for a Win95 Visual Basic class back in high school on the web: foote.pub/dungeon/
It uses bits of github.com/copy/v86. A pretty cool project.
Hope everyone is doing good out there ☀️

How I removed YouTube Shorts from my kid's YouTube feed:
1. Remove the YT app
2. Configure plugin
3. Re-configure Screen Time
4. Allow YT in Safari
Works for grown-ups too :)

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

I exported a session from ChatGPT where I used it to help me fiddle with an experiment on Next.js. Which I'm new to.
Then, I re-imported the session into a new chat. And asked ChatGPT what an expert should know if they wanted to help me ("Joe").
After a little back and forth, the spectre emerged 😅

bright-sdk.com has a carousel of apps that have integrated with the BrightData SDK.
When kids (or whoever) install these apps, the app nudges them to consent by offering coins etc. So then bots can run commands through their device.
BrightData then sells that access to bot makers.

Apple deployed some slick privacy technology for its new Enhanced Visual Search feature. No notice and consent tho 🙈
Uses ML, HME, OHTTP and PIR to let you search by point-of-interest (like "Washington Monument") while minimizing data shared with servers.
