Honestly, when I get home I try to avoid the computer as much as possible. It's why I enjoy playing video games on consoles instead of a PC because I don't have to continue doing what I've already done for 8 hours that day (sit close to a monitor, use mouse/keyboard, etc).

If you like CS, then you should check out Rainbow Six Siege. Very similar play style (one life rounds with an objective). Everyone chooses a unique operator (each operator has their own weapon set/special ability). It's a lot of fun and reminds me of the days I used to play CS in college 10 years ago.

Is there an archive of the stream?

Part of the stream is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc0hPGerSd4

Not sure if we'll be able to get the full 8+ hours up.

...and keep it up (sorry, couldn't resist :P)

I don't know what I'm looking for in the demo. I turned off adblock and have hovered over the images but I'm not seeing anything. Maybe I have another plugin interfering. I'm using Chrome.

The pleenq website demos the idea well though.

Unfortunately, the publisher disabled the PLEENQ tag on that page (probably because of unknown lot of traffic to a test post!). Here's a better link: https://www.theskinnyconfidential.com/2016/10/28/thehangover...

My company has already disabled the auto-updates in our installed versions of Chrome :/

Interesting. Although I actually find it useful that they include the flashlight. Win/win.

How are they going to verify your current salary? Do companies really go out of their way to do that?

They can just ask for a paystub.

Not anymore!

At least, not in Massachusetts.

I got excited about this, as I live in MA and seriously considering a change, until I read the part that it doesn't go into effect until July 2018.

In countries where the employer does the tax for the employee, then the employer will see how much tax has been paid earlier in the year. They can deduce salary from that.

My first thought with WWF was wrestling...

And if you really want notifications, they can still be enabled via the Google Chrome app when you visit the Facebook website.

Not an iPhone user here - do you mean that the Chrome app on iOS has Web Push notification support?

It doesn't look like it does yet.

Shame. I wonder if Google could shim it into Chrome iOS?

They should be able to. Embedded Safari allows you to define JavaScript APIs to interface with your app, and the app can register for push notifications.

Personally, I uninstalled the Facebook app but kept the Messenger app (with disabled chat bubble).

Works good enough for me. I browser Facebook on the browser when needed (never) and use Messenger for chat alerts.

On desktop, I use http://messengerfordesktop.com/ to avoid going on the Facebook website.

I also use custom CSS on the Facebook website to break some of it's linearity. This make it less likely that I will browse mindlessly. Facebook UI is designed as a precise drug and simply changing it a little bit will disrupt that. (I use a red UI, a noisy background, bigger fonts, etc.)

I use pidgin, with the newer facebook plugin - it doesn't look as sexy, but it does almost all I need (except for uploading files), and I have a bunch of other accounts connected. When I need to upload stuff, I just go to https://messenger.com

Use http://messenger.com for Facebook messages. In settings, you can turn on notifications.
