Re:I made a tool that turns all your Snapchat stories into a 1-second-... on Monday June 16, 2025 @02:41PM (#44292239)

It includes: - Step-by-step guide to export your Snapchat data - Script to extract and clean video clips (fixes broken metadata too)

A webbapp that helps me remember names by showing them in a graph network. Super simple, use it constantly

A webapp for sharing files/text between two devices no matter the platform. Use this all the time. No more sending emails, Facebook message, dropbox link to yourself.

Yeah this has annoyed me for years. They have notifications for literally anything. I keep disabling notification types on LinkedIn and they just keep making new ones up

Uhh this is super nice. I did not even know there was a Web Bluetooth api. That's dope. Then I can drop all of the nodejs stuff and also run it from the phone that's a lot nicer. Thanks for the share!

The speed can be controlled by the pitch of a persons voice. The higher the tone the quicker the train will go

If you would like to play around with it yourself then the code can be found here: https://github.com/benna100/duplo-train-voice-control

> AI has metastasized and is already manipulating its environment, including humanity, to its own implacable purposes, and uses social media as one tool in its tool belt.

Absolutely love this, mind completely blown
