Can't Stop the Signal. Poison It (blog.digitalgrease.dev)
gruez 4 hours ago [-]
Wasn't there a startup that basically did this, but instead of for privacy purposes, it was for creating fake influencer profiles you could use for marketing campaigns? This project feels like a great way to get your accounts banned from various platforms, because this is basically doing that, and platforms have at least a vague interest in banning such things. It tries to hide itself, but doesn't do a good job at it. MockLocationProvider can be easily detected, and so can UA/canvas spoofing. All of this basically screams "I'm running a bot farm", so expect it to be first in line when sites want to do a bot crackdown.

Not often you encounter a site that makes scrolling choppy.

I'm pretty sure that's because the entire <main> of the site has an 8px Gaussian blur on it:

  .site-main[data-astro-cid-bpoqdqeq] { 
    backdrop-filter:blur(8px); 
  }
Why, exactly? The page looks visually identical when I disable that rule, but the performance skyrockets. I realize that it's probably vibecoded, but come on.

Works great in my browser that hasn't been updated - except by me, mainly to keep it running - in about 10 years.

Firefox by any chance?

Ran recently into another site on here that scrolled fine on anything except Firefox. And this one seems to be fine on safari.

Firefox Android is fine albeit laggy. I don't get why one has to customize scroll behavior but I don't do mobile UX myself.

Last time i checked it's not laggy because they messed with the scroll, but because of some fancy CSS that firefox has trouble with.

This is a cool idea, I like it.

I like the idea (hate the site), but what does it do to my battery life?
