Didn’t they implement some sort of money for karma feature recently? Like you can make reddit dollaridoos or whatever they are called from your posts which can then translate into US dollars?
When you share your playlist or have Spotify hooked up to some other service like discord, it shows the name associated with the account.
And changing that name is not as straight forward as you might think.
Given the fact that it’s shared so easily, I wouldn’t be surprised if email addresses could be exposed with the right options.
Not necessarily shady.
I use 10 minute email if a merchant requires me enter an email account before seeing the total price on an item (including shipping). That’s the most common pattern I’ve seen. My guess is that they want to ping you to complete the purchase.
Or a website might require free registration in order to view the content.
One place I use 10-minute email is actually Spotify. I didn’t want to give them my Gmail address since your name is exposed to the world via their sharing API.
Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of bad uses for it as well. But privacy minded people use it too.
The only correct regex for email is: .+@.+
So long as the address has a local part, the at sign, and a hostname, it’s a valid email address.
Whether it goes somewhere is the tricky part.
Doesn’t surprise me one bit. I’ve noticed that a lot of websites will only accept .com
and a few will only accept email addresses from popular providers (Gmail, Hotmail, outlook, etc.)
My guess is that it’s trying to reduce spam and fake account generation.
Yup. Works!
How about mine: hunter3
It says something about the Internet and Firefox in general when the trending add-ons are about de-shitifying a platform…
And Google ink. Whatever that is. Probably some app they’ll discontinue next week.
Ninja edit: I know it says search results but that’s the current trending list.
They finally made YouTube unusable for me even with ublock. Refreshing the filters didn’t work and told me I could only watch 3 videos.
Google was always going to win the war but I didn’t expect it to be like this.
I’m now using piped for all YouTube videos.
Welcome!
Your use of B99 for a Star Trek meme… 🤌
I feel like PowerShell is what happens when you give a business analyst a set of requirements, who then sends it to the dev team to implement, but then the CEO says that the requirements are dumb and it should be something different.
I feel like podcasts and their apps is what TV and movies should be.
Users pick the app they want to use. They optionally pay a fee or not. The app has any and all TV, Movies, music, etc. they want. In the back end, media rights holders have a pre-defined revenue split agreement.
It’s like federated media.
Thanks for the recommendation! Yeah I can’t stand the ad infested barcode readers now. I’ve actually considered buying a dedicated Bluetooth barcode reader.
I hate that the OG barcode scanner doesn’t work on my pixel anymore.
Another useful Google app killed.
The best way to fight the fingerprinting is for us to all use the same throwaway email address.
I use thepresident@whitehouse.gov for shit like this.
Barcodes that can accept text (Besides QR):
You know the war that’s being fought by developers against YouTube?
Now imagine that same energy directed towards car companies.
I guarantee you the moment this becomes a thing, there will be jailbreaking and a whole industry dedicated to making sure people know how to get all the benefits that their car has installed but not enabled.
Because if buying isn’t owning, then pirating isn’t stealing.
I literally just saw this episode. God I love this community.

Probably the most elaborate Rick roll I’ve ever received.
The problem is that because the hardware is there, a determined person with physical access can change the settings to join a network you don’t control.
Ideally, you can open the TV and remove the wifi modules but I suspect that might be beyond the skills of most TV owners.
Tbh, I stopped owning a TV since college. I watch everything on my computer or phone now.
