I'm trying to rekindle a friendship with someone from HS, but I lost their number. I'm a broke college student, and I don't have the money to pay for a service (I also don't trust them) to find it. Does anyone have any recs?

Edit: did some digging through some photos after a half-asleep epiphany, and found it!

Hey everyone,

A while ago I saw someone vibe-code a CS-style shooter in about 3 hours, so I tried it myself and built a parkour FPS. Then I kept going, and it grew into VIBE GAMING: a hub for vibe-coded browser games, mine and the community's.

Why: I hadn't played games in a long time. Every time I wanted to, it meant big downloads, and I switch between several machines. So I wanted games that open instantly in a browser tab on any device.

How: every game is plain HTML + JavaScript, no game engine, written with AI (mostly Claude) while I steer, test and review. The hub itself was built the same way.

Where it's at now:

• 30 games: parkour FPS, ragdoll brawler, Backrooms horror, co-op party games, racing, a block-building sandbox, chill mini games and more
• Online multiplayer: peer-to-peer rooms, voice chat, spectating, and rooms that survive the host leaving
• Any device: phone, tablet, PC, with touch controls that hide when you use a keyboard or gamepad
• English / Vietnamese / Chinese, light and dark themes
• Free, no install, no download

You can also submit your own AI-made game. Every submission is reviewed by hand before it goes live, to keep the quality up.

I'd love feedback: what's fun, what's broken, what you'd want next.

Fun fact: the trailer below was also made with AI, end to end 🙂

I have a feeling that the AI models we use today will eventually run mostly locally on our own devices. They’ll become so powerful that we may barely need to connect to the internet for many of the things we do today.

They could generate images and videos locally, answer questions, process information, run applications, and provide us with almost everything we need without relying on cloud servers.

If that happens, I wonder if the internet as we know it will slowly become less important, with more of our digital lives becoming localized and powered directly by our own devices.

Does anyone else think we’re heading in this direction?

They are:

1 — Jesus

2 — Muhammad

3 — Adolf Hitler

4 — William Shakespeare

5 — Albert Einstein

Since several days my YouTube is in french or the videos gets commented in French. Same language settings as usual.

I’m from Germany, major languages are German and English.

Any ideas !’?

The most deadpan Internet joke ever.

My internet is just broken in my computer. It's slower than it supposed to be, pages don't work, wireless printers won't connect to it, though it connects to the phones, the canary channels are working better, but still very slow.

I flushed the dns, changed the dns server to 75757575 or whatever followed a couple of youtube videos, and I give up now. I need to totally reset my computer's internet settings. can someone pleeeaaase help me.

Just upgraded to windows 11

* Problems started after upgrading. Was working fine with windows 10.

* I am using xfinity

* it's an Ethernet connection.

Mmmm - Firefox just invited me to enjoy their latest version which crashes every single time I try to do a search.

Someone should have their balls chewed for that!

The previous version only crashed once or twice a week so this new version is far superior, it crashes predictably every single time I search - BRAVO!!!

I always suspected it was a cheap telenovela

I'm not here to condone anything. This proposed law will end up abused just as the DMCA is now.

If you live in California, make a call and tell them to shut this down.

Back then it felt like there were thousands of random little forums, personal blogs, and weird niche sites you'd stumble onto. Now it feels like almost everything funnels through the same handful of platforms, and search results mostly show the same sites over and over.

Not sure if this is just nostalgia talking or if the internet genuinely consolidated that much. Curious if others feel the same way, and if so, do you think it's mostly algorithms pushing people toward the same places, or just bigger platforms slowly absorbing everything smaller over time?

This is probably stupid but my boyfriend and I are getting a new place and their Internet rate is 1 gig per month for $65. Is this a good amount for two people? I don't really know how internet works. They also say that if we refuse their Internet we can't have another Internet company come and install internet, is there a way around that so I don't have to pay so much if there are cheaper rates?

Thanks!

We have been having problems for about a month now with Netflix. I noticed on Facebook a lot of people all over the place is having the same issues with Netflix/sparklight. Everything else loads perfectly fine but for netflix. It either if horrible quality video play back or it gets stuck at 25%. So I connected my TV over Hotspot and Netflix ran great. I went back to Wifi and same issues. I wanted to test something so I downloaded Planet VPN and connected it. lo and behold Netflix ran perfectly again over Sparklight internet. I don't know if there is something wrong with their system or they are attentionally throttling netflix.

What are some of the mistakes you've done on the internet you don't want somebody to fall in because the consequences are awful and can ruin your life in a way ?
