Built a open-source browser extension to stop my doomscrolling
I was looking for a website blocker to help me focus, but almost all the options on the web store are either bloated, want you to create an account, or charge a monthly fee just to block more than a few sites.
I spent my free time coding a lightweight browser extension called Flow. I recorded a quick screen recording of the interface.
The extension is entirely local-first. All your browsing history, blocked lists, and statistics stay on your own computer. There are no cloud databases, no user accounts, and no data tracking.
I would love to get your feedback on the UI/UX and any features you think I should add next.
What browser do you use?
Just wanted to know, what browser you ppl use cause I have too many installed for no reason
New Type Of Scam By Amazon Delivery Boy
I ordered a Wi-Fi adapter worth ₹1200 on Amazon with Cash on Delivery, When I went to collect the package, the delivery boy asked me to cancel the order, He said he would cancel it in the system but still give me the package if I paid him directly. It seemed like he wanted to keep the money and report the package as lost
I Strongly refused. I told him I would only pay after the order was officially marked as Delivered in the Amazon app, he Scan and delivered it, After that he said “ Koi Baat Nahi, Humse Bhi Kaam Padega Tumhara, Phir Dekhenge”
First morning without Debt
My first morning without debt. Paid off everything :)
Feels like a victory.
I pledge I am not going to fall in the EMI trap again.
Now just want to relax and find time for myself.
The constant push for changing jobs and getting more money should now stop.
India court ruling could force GoDaddy to reveal WHOIS data within 72 hours
A Delhi High Court ruling aimed at tackling fraudulent websites has broader implications than just brand impersonation. The order would require domain registrars like GoDaddy to disclose WHOIS registrant information to anyone with a "legitimate interest" within 72 hours, restrict privacy-by-default services, and limit registration of domains resembling protected trademarks. GoDaddy, Namecheap, and other registrars have challenged the ruling, arguing it could weaken user privacy, create security risks, and conflict with existing data protection frameworks. Here's breakdown of the ruling, why registrars are appealing it, and what it could mean for domain privacy, WHOIS, and internet governance.
Amazon delivery boy intentionally canceled my delivery, claiming it was rejected by me.
It's been almost three years. Not one order has been delivered to me. The delivery boy cancels my order, saying "rejected by me," but I didn't even get a single call from him. I've raised numerous complaints, but they still haven't been resolved. Every customer support representative says the same thing: "This will never happen again. We have escalated the issue. We have marked this as a high-priority order," etc. Now I'm tired of complaining again and again.
EDIT :
So I just talked with the higher-ups. They said they had talked with them and confronted them about this while on the call. I talked about the offer I was getting when I ordered the monitor, that the monitor I ordered was on sale. It was 10379 before the offer and 8499 after the offer, and the offer ends 5 hours from now. So they said that they'll give me the difference amount when I re-order the monitor and told me to call them when I'm re-ordering it. I know I won't get the difference amount, but we'll see.
I don't know if this will fix the issue, but if it still cancels, then I'm done with Amazon.
Proton VPN is shit
I connected to the Brazil server to watch FIFA WC but it always lags and has too much buffering. Anyone facing the same issue??
Since when did PRO Gemini users get usage limits?
Istg it was like... unlimited before?
Gemini prohibited access via multitouch. I wasn't the one who discovered this. I think Sandiyo or Surya, or both, discovered this. There are public posts about it. Check by yourself.

The American & Chinese delema
I ain't no China glazer but the government says Chinese apps spies on you, but the American apps and OS does the same,
Google analyses your search history + many people claim that it listens to you also listens to your conversations
On the other hand Microsoft windows is the biggest spyware and everyone knows it. It's sends more data to third party's and much more.
Data sharing issues and Meta have the same page. I don't even have to explain it. Y'all already know it.
But the main problem is why nobody calls these things out & are this double standards or it's just -ve pr against china. Experts what are your opinions on this?
Is the government selling our data
I recently gave exams like NEET and CUET and I am getting these calls and WhatsApp messages from private institutions for admission regarding these exams. I am 100% sure that I have not given my number to any website or app while researching about these courses. The only places they could have got my number would be either from the government or from my coaching institute(Allen). I believe at this time it is more likely that the government would betray their citizens rather than Allen would do this to their customers.

AI bubble is not bursting now as now it's China vs America
Everyone keeps saying the AI bubble is about to pop.
I don’t think it is. Not anytime soon.
This isn’t just hype anymore, it’s a three-way fight.
US companies are competing hard with each other (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Meta). At the same time, they’re all dealing with fast-improving Chinese open-source models. And over all of this, there’s a bigger layer: a geopolitical race that’s starting to look like a new Cold War, just centered on AI.
What’s interesting is China isn’t slowing down despite hardware limits. They’re focusing on efficiency, building distilled models that punch way above their weight. Models like GLM 5.2 competing with top-tier systems show that raw compute isn’t everything anymore.
That puts pressure on US players to keep pushing harder and spending more just to stay ahead. At this point, it’s not just business, it’s strategic.
And that’s why hardware demand isn’t cooling off. RAM, HBM, chips, everything is under pressure. You can feel it in prices across the board, from phones to cars.
As long as this three-front race keeps heating up, I don’t see the AI bubble bursting or hardware prices dropping anytime soon.
What do you all think, is this sustainable, or are we still heading toward a correction?
NOT ABLE TO REGISTER HELPP
Is anyone else facing this issue with the Samarth portal? Whenever I try to register using all my correct details, I get the same error. It has been happening on the AU Samarth portal, and for the BR Ambedkar University Delhi Samarth portal I’ve been facing the same issue for the last 4 days. I’m worried this will happen on every Samarth-based university portal (like BHU or Central University of South Bihar) too. I’m registering from a laptop, Chrome is updated, I’ve also tried Firefox and an incognito window, but nothing has worked. If anyone has faced this before or knows how to fix it, please help.
