Anyone know the history of
that GIF? I'm so curious and, yet, can find nothing. Regardless, here's some little drops of joy:
- Scream to Unlock - a Chrome plugin that blocks social media websites and requires you to yell "I'm a Loser!" into your microphone in order to bypass the block. This little detail is superb: "The louder you scream, the more time you get to browse."
- Cheating OpenAI transcriptions - If you use OpenAI to create transcriptions of audio this is a very clever little hack that uses ffmpeg to speed up your audio 2x - 3x. Since OpenAI charges by the minute and speeding up your audio decreases the overall length, you just got cheaper transcriptions (with "almost no drop in quality").
- Busy Bar - need a clever little LED display screen to let people know not to bother you? This is, surely, the best option for exactly that.
- Getting Started with Dia - the folks at The Browser Company have put Arc in the icebox and are focsed on Dia now. The pivot is a bit controversial but it's all quite interesting to see how its unfolding. Love that someone is attempting to push some innovation!
