Enshittification@lemmy.world•First time at a ski resort, and there are Pepsi ads everywhere. It shouldn‘t be this way

Programming@programming.dev•How do you track visual changes on competitor websites?
3·15 hours agoPuppeteer and Chrome were my go-to, but that was before AI bots started hammering sites, and Cloudflare and others started offering blocking processes to stop them.
I’d be surprised if the service you’re currently using will be effective for much longer.
As for text comparison,
lynx -dumpwill give you the text anddiffwill show you the changes, but as you mentioned, that won’t show you the graphics and banners, unless the site actually uses accessible content.
It’s a big list. Very pretty.
Which of those entries can actually be trusted? I’m asking because so far I’ve seen no evidence in any Android development of a chain of trust.
How do you know for example that these ROMs aren’t riddled with spyware, exploits or info-stealers?

Can’t wait to smell the results …
Writing software is about problem solving skills which improve with practice. Often the process involves breaking down a problem into smaller pieces and breaking each of those down, until you know how to “solve” each problem.
Writing down each “solution” and stringing them together is then the actual “programming” part of this activity … which brings with it a whole new layer of “problems” to “solve”.
It’s as much art as it is accounting and the more you do it, the better you get at it.

1·2 days agoWe just rewatched The Dish and drank a glass to both Sam Neill and Tom Long.
The last time we watched, it was projected onto a bedsheet hanging off the back of my delivery van at Aileron Roadhouse in the middle of Australia surrounded by optical telescopes, a 2m “portable” broadband vSat dish, with the Sungroper solar car team during the 2003 World Solar Challenge … vying for the Yahoo! most remote internet cafe … we lost out to Mount Everest 😁

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•In the past 5 years, whenever I talk it's like my brain's buffering. I can't find words or "load" the next sentence or sequence things. I used to be able to give unscripted presentations. Why?

Hang in there, it might feel tough for a bit, but this too shall pass.
Having had a parent die, I can tell you that the feeling never goes away, but it does get easier.
What’s the best memory you have of your dad?

Now look at the questions again and when you read the word “you”, insert “preludeofme”.
I’m asking because you’re also wanting to offer a service to customers.
