techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-12-07 22:00:00

Spotify is introducing a way for you to chat with your friends in a bid to become a more social content consumption app. Users have shared Spotify links for music and podcasts with others outside the platform for years.

Messages are only one-on-one, and you can only start a chat with someone with whom you have previously shared content. Th

Economists at Stanford University have found the strongest evidence yet that artificial intelligence is starting to eliminate certain jobs. But the story isn’t that simple: While younger workers are being replaced by AI in some industries, more experienced workers are seeing new opportunities emerge.

Exploring the tragedy of the Counter-Strike 2 server browser

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-07 18:31:50

For those who enjoy Counter-Strike community servers, the situation in Counter-Strike 2 is rather dire. An avalanche of spam has rendered the server browser unusable. The transition from Global Offensive killed multiple small communities. And large server providers have taken advantage of these problems to monopolise the market. Trying to find a server either involves capitulating to these big vendors, or trawling through a trench of spam. Scraping the server browser allows us to have some in
