Search - "google oauth2"

Just solved a bug I was trying to solve for hours.
Oh, the pleasure of closing 12 tabs at once without wanting to recover them for the next session.
Just priceless!
Gonna have a good night's sleep.3 -
fuck it, i'm going to write a personal oauth2 service
pretty soon on websites you'll see a sign in with google button, and sign in with github button, and a sign in with danny button5 -
Now I know why no one uses the google cloud. Making TTS and STT working costed me the whole night. Gemini was easy tho. But fuck google, you costed me a lot of energy. You guys are crazy. Now my api connects in a magic way i don't even understand with the gcloud cli app. The rest of my application is totally rest, don't use much of the google library.
I implemented google TTS and STT into ChatGPT. I use for somethings google because it's cheaper. It works using a JBL Go! speaker. I can just turn it on and start chatting with it. I implemented google search and gave it a memory. It can remember numbers for me. It accepts dutch and english. I can say 'google' and google is the main action. It will fetch results from google and uses gpt to summary the results. It works perfect! BUT FUCKING AI. I want to know the color of the hair from Mona Lisa. Not freaking Ona Isa! I send it literally correct. The speechtotext works great. But fucking API with it's reading. Pathethic. How far is AI? Barely usable as home assistant. So far - besides auto completion and giving code snippets / concepts AI is freaking useless. You need more patience for AI than a kid.
I hope the inventor of oauth2 dies alone. He should.11 -
Dude GoogleAuth is pure nonsense magic. On one line you get your auth-instance from gapi.auth2.init..
But then you render the auth-button with a static method aka gapi.signin2.render (which has some kind of success and error handlers, but don't worry, they fire randomly, they won't help you debug this api mess)
SOME-FUCKING-HOW this static signin2.rendershit knows of your auth2 instance and it works. But actually it makes no sense and is just a big mess of api-calls. Google, get your shit together, this ain't pretty.
Oh and forget your informative console.log.. this shit will get erased everytime you try something because of "Navigated to https://accounts.google.com/o/...". why ever the fuck this clears the console even tho it doesn't affect the top window. So preserve that fucking log and drown in a mass of bullshit.
In the end, as it is with everything, it somehow works. But FFS that's some weird api design Google has going on..4 -
Doing the Full Stack Nanodegree from Udacity
Using Google's oAuth Sign in in my Flask App, I realized that no matter what browser I use, I was unable to logout, Google always threw an error my way. I figured something must be wrong with my code..
Searched on Google, couldn't find anything relevant, gave up on first 4 results(not pages, yeah I'm that lazy!)
Spent 3 hours Debugging at different points, removing all the abstraction I've put in using various libraries (Bad move)
Finally it dawned on to me to check Udacity forum as well. It's a frickin cache/cookie thing. Tried the app in an incognito window, worked like a charm. Reverted code back with all the libraries, worked like a charm again!
FUCK YOU GOOGLE! In your attempts to track users, you're even making our work difficult!
(in hindsight, I should probably be better at asking/looking for help)1 -
Hey guys, perhaps some of you might be able to help me out.
My current task in my job is to implement an OAuth2 client in Android. I know there are a lot of out-of-the-box solutions for like Twitter, Facebook, Google etc. but I need to make it work with a generic OAuth2 server.
So I tried several frameworks for Android like AppAuth, Scribejava, etc. and most of them are buggy/outdated or aren't working with the Android version I have to use (API 24, Nougat).
I already asked for help in the android-dev IRC channel, but to no avail. Also looked up dozens of repositories on Github.
I'm rather desperate right now, because I'm running out of time :(
Any help/pointers are appreciated!
Thanks!1 -
I think I am too stupid for OAuth2. How do I handle this scenario: User deletes his account at the OAuth Provider. Lets say my own, Google, Microsoft, whaever. How do I handle data associated with the user then? I have some data which can be deleted then as it is not needed anymore.
Or is this not possible by design? If yes, this a perfect example on how to waste resources...8
