I think what you're talking about doing is quite difficult, and there will be a lot of obstacles in your way. You're proposing:

  1. Circumventing the API fees, which is something that ChatGPT would definitely not like, and they will make it as difficult as possible. You're not the only one trying to avoid paying for this very popular service.

  2. Crawling the entire contents of each page with a bot, which is another thing that websites do NOT want you to do. There are only a handful of RSS readers that do this, and they're paid, closed-source, proprietary apps. And even those probably don't work on certain websites.

I'm not saying it's impossible, just that you have chosen a very difficult path here. If you've never developed an app before, start with a smaller, simpler project.

Completely disagree.

  1. Noodle is hilarious and his pregnant pauses are top-tier.

  2. This video was specifically defending the indie dev, Nelson, that made the post that kicked this stuff off. Sure, other AAA devs responded to him, but it was Nelson that got most of the negative attention and death threats, even though his opinions were VERY measured and reasonable. It was also a criticism of the IGN guy that directed everyone's attention and pitchforks towards Nelson by cherry-picking his statements and taking them out of context.

  3. The specifics of the length/scope of the game are honestly less important, IMO. The video is just a level-headed look at why this excellent game is so excellent, and why it's unrealistic to expect every game from now on to be like this. That, and he's trying to get gamers to chill the fuck out and stop with the death threats.

Flash storage has gotten dirt cheap. 64GB is just insulting. Hell, I wouldn't even accept 128GB nowadays, it probably only costs manufacturers a few dollars to double that. But of course they upcharge us $100.

Ah yes, DNS adblocking has its uses, but it's a lot less versatile than an adblocker in your browser. Your point is valid, though. If the website is going to fight your adblocker, maybe just don't go to that website.

The rule is pretty clear. This is not a community for self-promotion. If you want to do that, find a community that allows it.

EDIT: Twitter-like social networks seem like a more appropriate place for this sort of self-promotion. Like Mastodon or Bluesky.

Adobe is a bloated garbage company that hasn't truly innovated in a decade, they're just hoarding their proprietary tools and formats to squeeze as much money out of customers as possible.

Kate McKinnon. She was on SNL for a long time, and she's not-so-secretly the best part of a lot of the movies she's in, even with minor roles.

Lol Jesus Christ, the surprise Shrek envelope

Yep, that's the main problem with all the buzzword substances that diet culture is obsessed with: fat, salt, carbs, etc... All of those are fine in moderation, but the problem is that the processed garbage that the average person eats for lunch contains a RIDICULOUS amount of those things.

Not sugar, though. Sugar is just bad for you, full stop. 😆

That's not heterophobia, that's just being horrified by ignorant bigots that are also hetero.

The mildly homophobic nature of the question is hilarious. "Would you want to live forever if you also had to be a little bit gay????"

Sounds like this is for any loyalty cards with a barcode that you scan in a store. So if you're in the US, a lot of grocery stores have these, and some other businesses like Starbucks. Similar to Stocard: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.stocard.stocard
