@ledevultime La différence majeure c'est que les FR n'hésitent pas à call out le BS marketing et la hype pour vendre de la merde. Généralement moins crédule et plus apte a sentir quand il y a un truc louche. La positivité toxique ca va 5 minutes.

Le Dev ULTIME 🍜@ledevultime·
Le scène indie hacker FR est clairement toxique à mort, entre les puristes et les anti business. Mais en vrai, en EN c'est pareil, ce qui change c'est le ratio pour moi. Dans la sphère EN t'as un ratio moins élevé car moins de gens sont contre l'entrepreneuriat. Dans la sphère FR, et surtout Française spécifiquement, si t'as pas fait HEC ou une grosse école et que tu montes pas une startup qui lève des fonds, on considère que t'es un escroc. Littéralement hier encore je tombe sur une vidéo insta en FR où des mecs répondent "t'as fais quoi comme étude ? t'es qui pour nous parler de ça" à un indie maker qui faisait la promo de son business mdr.

I just got lost into the French 🇫🇷 « indie hacker » bubble, and wow - Everyone’s telling everyone what to do, convinced they know better - Super agressive and/or sarcastic, bitter tone everywhere - Linkedin-like bullshit content full of big words by people with no experience - Almost no products, no links, no websites, no proof, never heard or saw most people - Everyone criticizing everything I scrolled for half an hour… What’s going on with my fellow French people? Couldn't we be a little nicer and more humble?

I love @cloudflare but as soon as their AUTH is fucked up, you're locked out of any action on your own domains... No managing bots, no DNS control, nothing.

@DeepakNesss Monitor signups with domains you've never seen before (can limit to email addresses with random alphanum strings in the first part). Check the domain/google it. If it's disposable domain, blacklist it for eternity; otherwise whitelist it. It goes quite fast to grow a good filter.

How do you folks prevent signups from disposable email providers like Yopmail? I’m using Laravel and found the package `propaganistas/laravel-disposable-email`, which includes ~4,000 vetted disposable domains you can block. I haven’t started using it yet. Or is blocking domains not a good idea?

@Jrolz1 "regardless of how you feel about the business" does some heavy lifting. Maybe you can make a thread explaining how car theft networks are actually supply chain geniuses, or drug cartels are logistic gods? Who would have guessed that illegal activities make a lot of money fast?

Half of X thinks this guy’s a genius. The other half thinks he’s a fraud. It’s probably neither. What’s actually interesting here is the play, and what he’s built underneath it. He’s sitting on ~$1.8B in revenue in a category that scaled fast. And regardless of how you feel about the business, you don’t get to that size without: real execution real systems real operational discipline That part is undeniable. So the real question is did he build something durable or just ride a wave exceptionally well? Because that answer changes everything. If this is replicable, then it’s just a very well-executed moment in time. But if he actually built a high-efficiency acquisition engine, then this becomes a very different kind of asset. Could this be positioning for an acquisition? The pitch is obvious: “I built a $1.8B engine lean. Imagine this plugged into real infrastructure.” For the right buyer, that’s not crazy. This could easily become someone’s internal Hims. Or it could be nothing more than a peak moment that fades as fast as it came. Either way, you can’t ignore what this represents: We’re watching a shift in real time. Telehealth is scaling Digital health distribution is evolving Traditional players are still figuring out modern acquisition And someone just proved you can build very big, very fast in this space. So again, it’s not “genius vs fraud.” It’s flash vs foundation. And depending on that answer, this is either a case study… Or a blueprint.
The Rundown AI@TheRundownAI

Sam Altman predicted in 2024 that a one-person billion-dollar company "would have been unimaginable without A.I., and now it will happen." He just emailed the NYT saying he won a bet with tech CEO friends over when it would arrive, and that he "would like to meet the guy." The guy: Matthew Gallagher, 41. Spent $20K and two months building a GLP-1 weight-loss telehealth company out of his living room in LA. The stack: ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok writing code. Midjourney for images. Runway for video ads. ElevenLabs handling customer calls. Custom AI agents stitching it all together. $401M revenue in year one. On track for $1.8B this year.

@LukasHozda Hey @forbes you might want to check Matthew's age before he gets indicted, you may have time to feature him on your 30under30 list before he goes to jail. 🤞

@effthealgorithm @amazon Same. I barely promote them anymore and when products become unavailable I simply remove the links completely. Also, they're still coasting on their reputation from 10 years ago while selling Wish-quality products from alphabet-soup Chinese sellers.

@dukeo @amazon If we aren’t willing to make stupid sales videos and share photos of ourselves in our homes using products, they have no use for us. Am slowly removing every Amazon affiliate link. Eff ‘em.

When did @amazon decide to enshitify their affiliate program even further by hiding some tracking IDs from your own reports? Are they really that fucking stupid? What do they even gain from doing such a ridiculous move? Now you can't even track your own earnings properly!

@Goog_Enough On our biggest site, we're at the point where Bing is sending more traffic than Google. And the RPM from Bing is 4x higher than from Google (aka shit traffic). On another site we now block Google crawlers entirely. They send no search traffic but rip the content in Gemini.

Organic clicks are down as much as 32% and ads are up as much as 433%, according to a new study using Similarweb data, as the Goog Enough monopoly is turning Search into a pay-to-play advertiser directory.

@PalmerLuckey It's not the gotcha you think it is. What time of the day do you take your picture? Natural/artificial lighting? What's the composition? What about framing? Color balance? Lens? Depth of field? It just shows you know as little about photography as you know about art in general.

I have this partially-formed hypothesis that artist backlash against generative AI crystalized largely in response to text-driven user interfaces. The art world has come to accept tools like Photoshop (and earlier, photography itself) that still share the aesthetics of traditional art creation. If MidJourney, ChatGPT, DALL·E, etc had interfaces along the lines of Nvidia Canvas from 2020 (pictured below), it would look enough like existing tools that critique would look purist and elitist. Art via command line, on the other hand, looks sufficiently Other that you can easily berate the users as Not Artists. "You just typed a few words, you aren't an artist!" has a better ring than "Your drawing skills rely on Photoshop somewhat more than mine, you aren't an artist!"

It frustrates me when people say others aren’t qualified to have an opinion because you don’t have certain credentials or experience. You don’t need credentials or experience to know when software is buggy or not working as it should be.

This is my day to day experience trying to use VLC. Constant lock ups, freezes, playback issues, color problems. Watch to the end to see IINA chew right through the same footage. Both "powered by ffmpeg", btw
