To be fair you can say that of anything with a scripting engine, you could have all that in vim or stripped down emacs

Beautiful, brings back memories of Dark Sky & forecast.io

lowkey gives cultural collapse type vibes

Yes.

I feel like this is going to try to tack on an affiliate link to anything I track.

Edit: yes it does, I just tested it and it appends '?tag=pricedropnotifications-emails-20' to amazon links, saying they earn a 'small commission' in the email fine print.

For a few years in the webcomic & blog space there was Ryan North's Project Wonderful, which served unintrusive auctioned banner ads that were usually advertising another creator's genuinely interesting work; I have no problem at all seeing ads for things sincerely made by humans.

How much of this was written with a language model?

It doesn't feel like it at all (I'd never expect an LLM to say 'pfp' like that, or 'lossly[sic] compressed', ASCII instead of fancy quotes) but who knows at this point.

I may have gotten incredibly neurotic about online text since 2022.

My YouTube use definitely isn't healthy, but it's still the only social app that asks me to take a break if I use it too long or late at night. That should be standard in any of these apps.

I wonder if a uniqueness algorithm like Robot9000 would ironically be useful for getting better bot posts

An LLM cannot explain itself and its explanations have no relation to what actually caused the text to be generated.

Wow, I had no idea you could do that

I think it's still likely that most new people you'll encounter aren't malicious. I have to wonder what your mental image of a 'newcomer' looks like.

I know it's pedantic, but this has nothing to do with an operating system and is actually just some binaries that wrap LLM APIs from what I can tell. The Github repository is just a bunch of prompts in Markdown. Looks great on a resume though

Yes. The current generation of creatives could not exist as it is without free information and pirated professional software.

It did! I remember seeing this.

Reinventing Aero shake.

Windows doesn't?

https://www.theregister.com/2001/01/25/directv_attacks_hacke... The code apparently permanently wrote an infinite loop into hacked smart cards' firmware, bricking them.

Seconding the Garmin watches, been using a Forerunner for years and the battery still lasts over a week with an always-on display. Does about as much as a Pebble and even has a documented SDK with sideloading. The refresh rate is very low but totally fine for a watch, I think newer models have much better displays. The only thing I wish were better is exporting all the tracked health data in a format I can use myself. Using the official tool for that I couldn't even get heart rate data.

With older Apple hardware you can usually find a working OS image, but Apple specifically is very strict with minimum OS versions for apps and deprecating APIs so that older iOS and macOS versions end up unable to install any software that hasn't had an older version archived somewhere, even if there's no real reason it shouldn't run on the hardware. You can only get older compatible versions of apps in the App Store if you happened to have purchased them before, again for no real reason other than inconvenience

Text feeling awkward or not flowing very well has ironically become a very strong signal for human-written text for me, and usually makes me pay more attention now

Would be nice if Microsoft hadn't taken JScript

Pasting AI garbage you don't understand is worse than useless.

I've never tried s&box but Source 2 did overhaul the map and asset pipeline quite a bit, everything's a plain mesh instead of BSP and maps are also regular .dmx files, so I'd imagine it's slightly easier to build tools that work on top of it

You're using a fake version that probably also has malware. https://revanced.app

They just need to fix search..

A Wireguard tunnel via a free tier or dirt cheap VPS, or a VPN provider that lets you forward ports like Proton

This is whining. Name it what you want.

It looks like a healthy mix of cargo cult and mental illness
