Pocket Lint: Early December 2024 links

Look out, it's linkin' season.

Pure CSS tic-tac-toe with game AI - "You just lost to a stylesheet!" This is amazing and I someone had to do it eventually! (It helps that tic-tac-toe is a "solved" game.) Lean Rada's whole website is full of cool stuff.

Rarebit: A free, open-source webcomic template built in HTML and JavaScript - Clever if a bit messy single-page app for hosting a webcomic with very little coding.

You Might As Well Use a Content Security Policy - Very thorough and well-written overview of CSP, how to deploy it, and why. Plus, I totally missed that you can do this with a <meta> element!

Egoless Engineering - I've been sharing this everywhere. I really good read if you, like me, are often frustrated by teams responsible for a Thing having no power to change the Thing.

unminify - "Free tool to unminify (unpack, deobfuscate) JavaScript, CSS, HTML, XML and JSON code, making it readable and pretty." It all stays in-browser, allegedly.

I made a multiplayer game from scratch because no one is hiring junior devs - The comment section is great:

"Project for getting a job : Multiplayer strategy game written in HTML and JavaScript.
Job : Making a button bigger."

Thousands Turn Out For Nonexistent Halloween Parade Promoted By AI Listing - This kind of thing keeps me awake at night. This is the last election cycle that AI won't be aggressively deployed against us.
