SOMEONE VIBE CODED A VIDEO STREAM THAT IS SECRETLY 100% TEXT SO IT CANT BE BLOCKED
it plays 360p video at 30fps, but theres no actual video on the page. every frame is just colored text characters being repainted on a canvas
to the browser its not media at all, its javascript updating some text
its called asciline, and here's the trick:
> the server decodes the real video and streams it as binary packed text over websockets
> the browser paints thousands of colored block characters fast enough to look like 360p
> ad blockers and autoplay blockers cant catch it because theres no video element to catch
> it streams in kilobytes since its just strings, so it runs on trash internet
since the video is literally text, you can apply css glows to it, let people copy paste a moving frame, or feed it straight to a local llm
however, an unblockable stream is also an unblockable ad as well
This is free advice from an expensive psychologist. If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life and death.

i like how their first instinct is "it’s fake food" and not "it’s poor quality produce that wasn’t conserved properly in the supply chain" so now instead of advocating for better food regulations they just spat out conspiracy theories online
Israel targeting senior U.S. officials cannot be accepted by our government.
This is not standard practice, especially considering the fact that Israel survives on our defense funding & diplomatic top cover.
Until we actually take away the support we give Israel they will keep playing us as fools.
