webspinneron Show HN: I created a rss newsfeed from 130k Substack publications

This gives me thousands more feeds hah!

webspinneron Show HN: I built Cyberpunk interface for my habits because Notion was too boring

Sure thing! I was able to put some in there, and it worked! I use NVDA. Nothing seems to be wrong, at the moment. Hmm, can I put my monthly readin goal in there? It didn't seem to have a way to add those. I'm not a big reader, so starting small, by reading a book a month, lol! That's more of a feature type thingy.

webspinneron Show HN: I built Cyberpunk interface for my habits because Notion was too boring

Well, that did work! I was able to find the create button and put one in there.

I'm always up for testing! I'm willing to test anything. I'm fairly thorough, and I'll tell you what's wrong, but I'm not certified, so I'm probably not the best lol! If you make a contact email, I can give you feedback that way as well.

OK, but default ones are bad! Let me add my own custom ones, why did you add default ones??? Also, I'm a screen reader user, and what your using for accessibility appears to be subpar. Lol I'm willing to fully test it for you, but you should probably further develop that thingy!! It definitely isn't the worst one I've ever seen, but not the best either. If I can add custom ones, and I didn't find it in my testing uh... huh... lol, then that isn't exactly my fault either, could be partially that for not being a fully trained tester, though, of which I'm not. I'm not an expert. You get what you get for free, hah!!

webspinneron Childhood Friends, Not Moms, Shape Attachment Styles Most

i probably spent more time at my friend's houses, than at my parents house when I was a kid!

Lol I refuse to use it most of the time. If I want to test it, I do. I probably shouldn't do this, because it's keeping all data! It's good for some casual fun sometimes, I usually navigate away after I'm finished though.

webspinneron A.I. and Social Media Contribute to 'Brain Rot'

I'm actually not lol! IF I were I would, most likely!

Oh, I don't exactly trust the NYT. But hey, I do read them once in a while. After that, I always do more research.

I do not believe generative AI has any benefits whatsoever! If it does, I have yet to discover them. It may be a benefit to everyone here which is great, but i would say that it's better to spare it.

Sure thing, sometimes it's fun! I suppose that's because I'm a thrillseeker. Let's see how fast it gets up to is a test. That wouldn't be the case if I were driving.

I'm actually writing fairly literally lol! If you want me to write more in-depth comments, I sure can! I'm not stupid enough to go generate them like you might be, I suppose. In fact, I think the whole thing is ridiculous, so I try to avoid it entirely!!

webspinneron A.I. and Social Media Contribute to 'Brain Rot'

You bet there are, and I use them regularly. The ones I need, anyway.

webspinneron A.I. and Social Media Contribute to 'Brain Rot'

Lol or just create one.

webspinneron A.I. and Social Media Contribute to 'Brain Rot'

I don't either! Mostly because I don't use many apps anyway. I like the web.

webspinneron A.I. and Social Media Contribute to 'Brain Rot'

Nah, I just leave. Because I want too, and because I don't like Reddit's AI training ppolicies.

webspinneron A.I. and Social Media Contribute to 'Brain Rot'

I'm sure they're going to eventually. They say they won't, but they deprecated private messages. Yeah, I did use those lol.

webspinneron A.I. and Social Media Contribute to 'Brain Rot'

I hate Facebook with a passion! Mostly because my family is there, and they're constant lecturers.

webspinneron A.I. and Social Media Contribute to 'Brain Rot'

Well you can choose to affiliate with another party. I did so. I was unaffilaated for years, though!

webspinneron A.I. and Social Media Contribute to 'Brain Rot'

Since I use the fedi in other ways, and I'm still here, it isn't necessary. Is it fun to test? sure!!

webspinneron A.I. and Social Media Contribute to 'Brain Rot'

OK maybe try to escape the algorithm? This is different with Reddit, though. You'd have to figure out which settings you need to change.

webspinneron A.I. and Social Media Contribute to 'Brain Rot'

I have the exact same response!

webspinneron A.I. and Social Media Contribute to 'Brain Rot'

I don't usually see them either!

webspinneron A.I. and Social Media Contribute to 'Brain Rot'

Do it anyway! Then you have a case against them.

webspinneron A.I. and Social Media Contribute to 'Brain Rot'

I'm leaving Reddit because of all this!

webspinneron A.I. and Social Media Contribute to 'Brain Rot'

Well, don't use that kind of social media, I suppose.

webspinneron Acrobat is intrusive, slow and non-customizable

Your browser is an alternative, if you want it to be! I read PDFs in the browser quite a bit.

webspinneron Acrobat is intrusive, slow and non-customizable

I just uninstalled it, and ditched it for something else.

webspinneron Show HN: Resist – Nutrition Labels for Digital Content

I did quit in 2023! I still have my account, but I never go there. Mostly because I need the API!

webspinneron Show HN: A Chrome extension to export structured data from any website using AI

What about .txt? I use a screen reader, and sometimes, I like to put things in plain text. Or even, a plain text PDF would work! Also, clean HTML! A lot of times, I just like the links in a listy format, so I can look at them that way! Sure, I can clean up a CSV, but that gave me nightmares in 2010 lol!! Definitely a cool thing though!
