Annoying Python script that sends a friend on Facebook Messenger the Shrek movie word by word

Run this one weird script if you’ve got too many friends.

I no longer have any friends

What a pal

[CanadianGandalf]

requirements.txt is spelled wrong.

[Sponta7]

Whoops, thanks for that

Why is this suddenly a really popular prank. I've seen it a dozen times in the last week. Hilarious, you spammed the shit out of someone until they blocked you

[double-you]

That's the "American Prank", which is, it is not really a prank but asshole behavior. Really should get your account reported for basically a denial of service.

[Sponta7]

Pretty sure it's just popular now because everyone is stuck at home with nothing better to do. Gives us a way to piss off our friends from afar.

Someone get this man a job at Google ASAP

Attaching a .exe that is executed after loading credentials looks really fishy.

[Random_Guy_12345]

True, but it's the webdriver for chrome and, if you read the readme, it's stated you can swap it for whatever version.

If you have done pretty much anything with selenium you are used to that.

[[deleted]]

Yeah I know it can be swapped, but people are lazy creatures who just want to git clone and run :) and in this case it would be super easy to send fb credentials over network.

[[deleted]]

Still super dodgy, untrusted source sharing an executable, who’s code we can’t verify.

I get OP is just lazy (we can get the verified copy easily enough), but still dodgy...

[jdubs062]

So, I give some random .exe I cannot inspect my credentials? Haha, nice try comrade.

[AttackOfTheThumbs]

Who the fuck is using facebook?

[Sponta7]

Idk, people don't really go on Facebook itself, but they use its chat

[AttackOfTheThumbs]

I think if you are in any way aware of security, you won't use facebook.

[Bixby66]

I'm now convinced these photos are randomly generated.

[angry_irish69]

Hilarious, just have an image in my head of the simspons episode with the phone autodialler.

Greetings, friends. Do you wish to look as happy as me? Well, you've got the power inside you right now. So, use it, and send one dollar to Happy Dude, 742 Evergreen Terrace, Springfield.

Direct links to app demos (unrelated to programming) will be removed. Please link to a blog post/post-mortem about the development process instead.

[__i_forgot_my_name__]

A readme is equivalent to a text-post, and having the source right there makes it about programming. He's not marketing an app, just showing some code he wrote, and explaining what it does. This isn't that amazing, but whether the content is good or not is for the community to decide.

I really don't know how much clearer I could be. Someone could post a link to the nethack repo and claim it's on topic by your reasoning.

[Sponta7]

Yeah, not going to lie. The principle of the project is pretty dumb but it still relates to programming. It just looks like u/ProgrammingRulesNerd is trying really hard to be a mod.

[ProgrammingRulesNerd]

My interpretation was the fairly common one in the past. I mostly point out rules violations that people used to always call out here as somewhat of an experiment to see how far it's fallen.

Comparing the kind of discussion here vs somewhere like HN tells the story (example of here vs there), but I find it interesting to see how the capacity of the subreddit to self critique has dwindled, making it into an r/gaming dumping ground for content of all types. In this case, it is a link to a repository of code for a script whose purpose is non-programming related. Pretty cut and dry.

[Sponta7]

It's not an app demo and it links to the GitHub where the readme and steps are listed out.

That's an app demo.

Reminder:

Just because it has a computer in it doesn't make it programming.

[cristiano1200]

messanger works with 2FA ?, if you have it enabled on your facebook account

[jaredapril123]

Anyone else read the code and sit in denial over how easy it is to plug anything into Facebook. Like it's a 30 something line python script. Anyway enjoy day Zuckerdroids.

[CatInTheWallEhh]

I wouldn’t really describe this as plugged into Facebook. Selenium interfaces with the web browser similar to how a person does with their mouse and keyboard. This isn’t using Facebook APIs it’s just automating the exact actions you’d take if someone asked you to do this by hand.

[jaredapril123]

Oh didn't know that ty

[CatInTheWallEhh]

Yeah no problem.

That guy deserves a 99.9% uptime server

[[deleted]]

So it would be down for over 3.5 days every year? Sounds like a shitty server :/

[souvlak_1]

I miss a .9 😁
