Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Firefox has a built-in warning against pasting. I think Chromium too. I don't think they warn about account theft, though.

Chromium now requires you to type a string inside the console before it lets you paste anything.

Firefox as well:

⚠️ Scam Warning: Take care when pasting things you don’t understand. This could allow attackers to steal your identity or take control of your computer. Please type ‘allow pasting’ below (no need to press enter) to allow pasting.

Soon browsers will require you to implement fizzbuzz in the console before enabling paste 😅

Honestly, a Modulo-Captcha wouldn't be that bad of an idea?

Sure, it's not really "non-dev-proof"; but I guess a simple "To enable pasting, please type result to the following formula: 5%3" would at least stop some people that will glady ignore the warning because obviously nobody wants to let you hack other Facebook accounts, but those guys told me it's fine - but will already be confused and then feel smart by entering 0.15 because 5% of 3 is 0.15 ... and wonder why it doesn't work

Before you try to enable enable vim mode in Obsidian, you're prompted to show you know how to exit vim before continuing.
