A slop detecting browser extension for LinkedIn because I have to use it these days to find a job, I was getting tired of seeing all the AI slop content.

wow! I love how the background/header generates as the page loads and you can click to add things on it. Overall, the design if amazing!

this seems to be a memory problem with ChatGPT, in your case, I bet it was changing a lot of answers due to that. For me, it really liked referring to the fact that I have an ADU in my backyard, almost pointlessly, something like "Since you walk the dogs before work, and you have a backyard ADU, you should consider these items for breakfast..."

you could try GMRS over FRS which ends up having more range and only costs $35 for a 10 year license (no test / certification needed). I was recently trying both types of handheld walkie talkies and the FRS range was almost 1/5th the range that GMRS was able to do

I started using Pure prompt since I'm only ever using zsh and it seemed to cut down a lot on the setup required, I do have to spend like 15-20 mins on a new computer to get everything working as expected but once it gets going, it feels like the best mix of customization and speed.

100% this, I am almost always on 5G or LTE but in some areas in my city it seems like not even a webpage will load on either. In this case, using any apps is useless and google/kagi search feels like it takes too long to find something basic.

this is great, my succinct little domain that's 6 characters long including TLD was turned into 4000 characters, awesome!
I had no idea Helios is also Goldmund. The sound is so different. I found them both on Spotify.

There's a CSS issue that made me a bit irritated. The <body> element has a margin of 8px, change that to auto so you won't get an annoying horizontal scroll on webkit browsers.

I wouldn't call it exactly passive but it's not really a focus right now.
I setup an etsy shop on which I put some posters I've made. http://www.etsy.com/shop/Posterboard
I actually have made -$1.40 b/c that's what it costed me to put up the posters. It's been up for about 2 weeks now.

Re:Show HN: SendRail - The easiest way to send files from the desktop

Thank you. This is great that it uses my facebook friends and I don't have to scramble for everyone's email addresses. +1
I did notice that it's not case-insensitive which would help a lot. Also, this might be on your roadmap but a progress bar or some feedback of it being sent would be great.
Also, file seems to be not sent through HTTPS.

+1 for this. I was surprised it only asked for Chat permissions
