"But you have to think about the opportunity cost of that one second.
I could fart about AI in that same time and thus eventually save/destroy humanity, so who cares if we let one itty bitty nazi take over?"

Wait till you see my "What The Internet Did To Garfield" cosplay.

Phew, thought that was a setup to how depressing the cyberpunk genre can be, but ye, those hairstyles fucking rock.

Oh, this isn't an EA sports and Kid Icarus crossover? :(

Well that is an actual accusation in the Malleus Maleficarum, so checks out that witches are still up to that.

When I was first watching Dune Part 2 in theatres there's the scene where Paul meets his sister and I thought "wow, where did they find a location with sand dunes right next to the ocean?!" and that held in my mind for a good few seconds before the other half of me responded "you mean the beach?"

Ye, often after sweating a lot, drinking alcohol free beer/something with electrolytes/salt helps.

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors

“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

A personal highlight of my #FrogMerch have to be these suncatchers! I love when they fill my room with little rainbows 🌈

Maybe I need to come up with more designs for them 👀

Photograph of two suncatcher stickers on a square glass standing on a standee on a purple gingham blanket. The shadow of the stickers shows a colourful rainbow. One suncatcher is round showing many rain themed icons with frogs, the other is oval shaped with a small frog sitting under a green leaf.

Day 2 of MG Wing Gundam XXXG-01W building. This will last me a few weeks with this rate of progress.

So my single bladed nipper finally arrived today and I go to work on my first master grade.
Making clean cuts involves way more skill than I expected, but I already noticed some progress and it's definitely more satisfying either way.
I'll try to do do daily (small) updates :)

Really disappointed in this post and the comments. These are terrible people for what they say and do, not for how they look.

boost your user satisfaction and growth with this one weird trick (removing the shit everyone hates that you added for no reason)

r/SaaS
u/soasme
I deleted ALL AI features... and user growth went UP.

Everyone's busy adding Al to everything.
I did the same for indie10k.com but it didn't work.
I removed all of fancy Al stuff - Al coach, Al growth ideas, Al "personalized" advice - everything.
Guess what?
I see more registered users and higher retention.
That actually make me wonder why now i have one page with one button, without all that Al thingy, but it does better?
Here's my question:
Is Al feature actually helping SaaS grow?

I have never, ever heard a reader say their problem is too few books on the market.

I’ve heard MANY say there are so many that it’s hard to find *quality* reads, which is why they’re loyal to certain authors + publishers.

This “business” is solving a problem that doesn’t exist, using stolen work

Marco Rinaldi @marcorinaldi.bsky.social · Nov 25

Why? Who is this meant to be good for? Nobody wants your shit AI books, never mind 8,000 in a year. Just a terrible idea and a horrible road the publishing industry is heading down.

Bookseller article with the headline "New publisher Spines aims to 'disrupt' industry by using AI to publish 8,000 books in 2025 alone" 🤮🤮🤮

Very funny to see this, as I just saw the beginning of Metal Gear Twin Snakes and had the thought, that someone oughta reenact some of those cutscenes.
