Nice, I was looking for something like this. I tried it on Ubuntu but after clicking Capture requests > Launch Chrome, nothing happens.

Same issue, would prefer the option to use any browser also. Chrome is not my cup of tea

Looks like it wants to run chrome using `start chrome` which is AFAIK a Windows-only command.

Thank you for pointing this out. I've addressed the issue, and it should now be fixed in version 0.2.1, which is available for download on the website. Please update to the latest version, and let me know if you encounter any more problems.

This problem persist on version 0.2.3

On Linux, the application currently uses the command: ```bash google-chrome --proxy-server=<proxy URL> --ignore-certificate-errors-spki-list=<CA fingerprint> ``` to launch Chrome.

For some users, this command doesn't seem to work properly. I'm working on adding a feature that will allow you to manually set the command used to launch Chrome if the default one isn't working on your system.

In the meantime, you can manually launch Chrome with the arguments shown above. Just replace `<proxy URL>` and `<CA fingerprint>` with the appropriate values for your setup.

Yep same problem

It seems very nice, I tried japanese because I'm studying it, but it got difficult too quickly. In particular japanese needs furigana absolutely (the hiragana over kanji) or romaji (options to be activated/deactivated).

Since it is in the browser, you could use the Yomichan browser extension to enable furigana/translation on hover.

Got it. Will work out how to add this. Thanks for the feedback.

Crazy nosense change. $100 is damn high and 10K tweets a month is damn low. Even if you were willing to pay, the amount of tweets is so low that it's in fact totally useless.

I'm still using the old way: "crontab -e" inside the same EC2 where I run the app. In case of failure I automatically send an email to me. This is the easiest scenario in case you already have an EC2 for some other things that is already running. Instead, from scratch (no EC2), I'd probably use Lambda.

Out of curiosity and for the sake of completeness, by failure, you're probably talking about an error that the script itself can detect? What about a scenario where the EC2 goes down (silently)?

Yes I mean failure of the cron script itself. If the EC2 goes down entirely there are other alerts you can set up on AWS, such as Cloudwatch or similar.

Thank you for this, I always struggled to find an up to date list of UA.

If you don't mind, I made a simple Node.js wrapper of this API and released as a NPM package, you can find it here: https://github.com/DavideViolante/useragents-me-api/

I thought I was a very tidy person, then I saw this.

Im not sure it is tidy to inject random junk into your commit message to get a hash prefix

Or maybe it is _extremely_ tidy.

I think the question boils down to "where is the junk?" ;) I.e, there is always junk, some put it in a commit hash, others into the files committed.

And now this uses invisible junk (white space). See update: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33704810

That's smart move imho. Usually engineers and other people that worked at Twitter went through a very strict hiring process. So hiring them is equal (usually) to hiring very skilled and smart people.

In Italy a famous news website is using blockchain since 2020 to, I quote literally: "help readers check source of news", "strengthen bonds of trust between its organization and its readers and customers", "trace the history and source of each news item."

News (EN): https://www.ansa.it/english/news/science_tecnology/2020/04/0...

Example of news in the blockchain: https://blockchain.check.ansa.it/landing/b150aff9f028f7339f0...

The first time I saw it I was quite surprised. I'd like to hear opinions about it here. Eg: it's blockchain stricly necessary here?

What does that bring on top of TLS?

If you want to check whether an article ever appeared (even if it's no longer there), then something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_Transparency would be enough.

No that's not a blockchain, at least not for a useful definition of blockchain (see https://www.schneier.com/essays/archives/2019/02/theres_no_g...).

If they add every revision on it, it could be interesting, but i doubt they do that.

One interesting thing I have been seeing recently is newspapers quickly changing news a few hours after they posted it, in reaction to public opinion of said news (or maybe some editorial "request").

In th BBC its quite egregious, they have been posting some news, and a few hours later changing the headline and the photo, to either something meaner and an uglier photo of the same person, or the opposite, a much more neutral/flaterring headline and a PR photo of the person.

If those changes were on the blockchain, UK citizens could demand their money back for what they pay for the BBC as it is a ridiculous practice that should not be paid by taxes. But again, I doubt the Italian newspapers saves their own slanted coverage for their own users to see.

Share a link demonstrating the BBC's egregiousness please.

I can't because stealth edits are not meant to be caught. I tried finding some on archive.org but their scrapping isnt usually fast enough.

I think some of the most noticeable ones tend to be on big political news. It happened fairly quickly with Truss. All "happy" headlines and smiling photos, to ugly photos and total lack of positive adjectives as the news of her departure became more obvious.

Sometimes they have done it on the same piece of content, a few hours apart as the narrative changed. The content of the piece was untouched but the photo and headline on the front page tell the opposite story all of a sudden.

Where did you hear about it?

This reminds me about Black Mirror's White Christmas episode where they create a digital clone inside a white "cookie" and then they use it for receiving tasks such as making toasts. This project is very similar actually. I found very interesting the part where you can track your food and automatically calculate the calories every day without writing anything anywhere.
