I loved this game! I got the achievement by going back and forth in the same spot. I used a dual shock controller.
My favorite feature is that it blocks ads in safari. I'm surprised more people and Mozilla aren't mentioning it more.
You can scope modules under your name. e.g. `@makenova/panda`

appear.in requires a plugin for screen sharing but otherwise, I do like it.
These are not in any particular order and I do not watch every single video on their feeds, just the ones that are relevant or seem interesting.

Yeah, I think this exact article was there but it's down now. I immediately checked my pocket archive and even though I pay for premium(meaning my library should be permanent) it's gone. I liked it when I first read it and I like it now.

Re:My Heroic and Lazy Stand Against IFTTT on Tuesday March 29, 2016 @03:22AM (#11380009)
You're absolutely right. I will not try to compare what I did to pinboard. I still have the channel running on a DigitalOcean box and even though the service is simple and stable, I still have to fiddle with it once in a while. I only keep it running because it's valuable... to me.
Re:My Heroic and Lazy Stand Against IFTTT on Tuesday March 29, 2016 @12:02AM (#11379404)
I applied to IFTTT about a year ago (didn't get the job), part of the interview process was to develop a channel on their developer platform. I don't consider my self a fast developer but it wasn't difficult and it took me about a weekend of casual work. Maciej is well within his rights to flip IFTTT the bird, but I just wanted to provide some context about how much work is involved.

Re:GPS tracking device found on an activist's car on Saturday March 07, 2015 @10:50AM (#9162046)
I agree, there is a company in my city that will hook a device up to the car battery and place it in a discrete location. They mostly deal with fleet management but some of their business is from spouses tracking each other. There a "funny" story about a wife bringing in a vehicle that her husband had brought in earlier.
