Probably there are no Rivian people in my timeline, but I just have to ask -- in what universe does it make any sort of sense to plan on launching the R2 in Denmark and Sweden... but NOT in Norway? Like.. is just a mistake on your website? Look at the facts:

Slop Evader is a tool from artist and researcher Tega Brain that lets you search the web for results exclusively before November 30, 2022—the day that ChatGPT was released to the public.

Artist Tega Brain is fighting the internet’s enshittification by turning back the clock to before ChatGPT existed.

and yes this is a tweet!!

if in casual conversation you say "I saw a tweet the other day" you don't correct yourself to say you saw a "toot" or a "skeet", bc deep down we all intuitively know the tweet is a format

Having never had a Dairy Milk but hearing @jamescdyer.bsky.social wax lyrically about it on the PilotTV Podcast, I had to try it.

It’s okay.

Super-good video from @venustheory.bsky.social (as per usual), but the cello + terra section near the end is SUBLIME. ❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbR5...

@mailbird.bsky.social How about you don't put sticky ads on top of the functions of the software I already paid for?

Gargaj going into some detail about the tech stack in Umbra in here! umbra would not exist without him by the way and I definitely wouldn't have been able to shape it as well as I can now. It's very empowering to be able to be in charge of your own tech stack!
This little [pun intended] pet project has been one of my fragile little joys of the recent turbulent times; I've known Mulm for almost 20 years and always wanted to work with her on something, and seeing her happiness and excitement about this has been genuinely rewarding.
After one year of development the first milestone is done actually 😭 Holy shiiit. So for full context on how crazy this is, I have a long history of starting projects and running out of steam so the 1 yr milestone is..mad. I also did not know javascript and three.js was new to me 🫡

Tons of spoilers for «Dispatch» in this article / interview with the developers, but well worth a read if you’ve finished the game: www.polygon.com/the-dispatch...
The Dispatch devs want you to be jerks more often

Which is apt, as I just moved to Qobuz.

«Dispatch» is an amazing game. Its also an amazing animated show. AND — it’s an absolutely fantastic super hero story. It’s superb, and I’m not at all surprised to learn that a bunch of ex-Telltale people are behind it. It is not safe for kids, but young adults onwards should be fine. A++ recommend!

As an em dash devotee, the fact that its use is now seen as a fingerprint of LLM-generated text bothers me to no end.
The em dash is the most human of punctuation marks. So why do so many think its presence in a sentence means it was written by ChatGPT?
Don’t Let AI Ruin the Em Dash
In defense of the newly controversial punctuation mark, which has become a target for those determined to root out AI writing.

One of the best things about the Vince Gilligan run shows have been their sublime podcasts thanks to Kelley Dixon and latterly Chris McCaleb.

I am glad to report that the official #Pluribus podcast is no exception, truly a film school in your ears.
