Yea, I see more and more of these content farms when I'm googling various topics as well, which is actually making using the internet to learn how to do things less productive.
Your post overall was not written in that manner, but the tangent into the stairs thing was unexpected and borderline supernatural, actually would have been an interesting segue into a ghost story.
@influx post is so low effort it's hard to tell if they're the one profiting from the content farm or just posted up the first result he found on a quick google search.
Is this a ChatCPT written article to sell stuff or for SEO purposes? Definitely seems like it, and actually makes me wonder about the entire parent post.
I use HN Digest and get an email with the top 20 (the number is configurable) stories from the previous day in my email each morning. I stay relatively up to date with less distraction.
Would sure be nice if FF was more timely about supporting MV3. The worst part is it looks like they won't be supporting service workers which is what Chrome decided to replace background pages with. Meanwhile devs are stuck maintaining two different versions.
The marketplace did not fail. The Chrome Web Store lives on - it's just the PAYMENT section of it that fails. All the extensions will still exist and be available for download, we devs just can't use Google's payment or subscription service anymore.
So if a dev has thousands subscribers paying monthly through Google's system, they will all have to sign up again with a new payment processor - there is no way to migrate the payment info, only the license info.
And yes Google takes a cut each month so it's hard to imagine why they have decided to forgo these millions of dollars and at the same time hurt extension devs - because I can imagine a very large number of people deciding not to resubscribe :(
I ran into a problem with the automation project I was working on when I tried using Selenium. I was trying to print (shipping labels from Amazon) and Selenium (at least Chrome webdriver) can't see the print dialog :( Any ideas?
