I just enjoyed my work better when I wasn’t bombarded by a single piece of technology 24 hours a day seven days a week, that seems to have very, very bad implications for humans and the planet, actually.

The original building they filmed in got knocked down so they accurately rebuilt the whole set again. Incredible stuff.

This is cool - all the available logos for the 30th anniversary of Pokémon

You scanned your European passport for a European professional network, and your data went exclusively to [17] North American companies

I would rather stop using the internet than hand over my passport for verification be it for vanity, age, or anything else.

Read this whole article to see what a shitshow these verification companies are.

Sophie is much smarter than me and she's written the post I had in my mind but would never be able to articulate as well as this.

So if we're not thinking and they're not thinking that means nobody is thinking. Nothing good can come from software nobody has thought about.

I see we're at the "you can't just download my NFT" stage of the AI grift

Bookmarked, very handy.

Let’s be honest this is white tech for the one percent.

🔥

In my experience, the people who are excited about AI art also happen to be some of the most talentless fucking people I've ever met

I missed this when it was first posted but I'm glad I found it now.

I've thought about doing this before but every time I think about it I back off. Brennan nailed it here.

I'm struggling to describe how exciting the idea of physical idea cards makes me. Like my stickers, something about a physical thing that I've made feels like such an antidote to fighting through internet slop on every single website.

Go read this, it's wonderful.

A /top4 page is a personal webpage where you can share your definitive ranked list of your top 3 favourites and an honourable mention

I've added this to Slash Pages and made a note to do one for my site.

They don’t want to hear from you, they want you to fuck off.

I stumbled upon a solution in an unlikely place: Thousand Year Old Vampire, an excellent solo role-playing game

I love stuff like this.

That's me!

Now this is business

This is great, more of this please

A community is about more than just being a group with shared interests; a real community helps each other out in times of need.

That requires a new Internet where there's no concept of consent for either users or those who create content and culture

Tech bros not understanding consent and just doing whatever the fuck they want? I am very shocked Pikachu about this. Fuck OpenAI.

This is so cool.

I've been using Colorpeek on my Mildliner and Clickart sites and this new version is even better.

I was in a good place. I thought I was done. And then... Robb blogged about his journaling.

Short answer: don't.

I was not emotionally ready to read this when George sent me the draft this morning.

This is handy.

I am, deep in my bones, tired of talking about this. The first time I mentioned AI (that I can find) on Mastodon was in May, 2023. The post was about how tired I was of hearing about it. In over two years, I have not become less tired of it.

We can pretend I'm linking to this because Brendon said nice things about EchoFeed but it's all about this line: "Ruminate is low-key one of my favorite podcasts"

Thanks @brendonbigley 😘

I write the content on this website for people, not robots. I’m sharing my opinions and experiences so that you might identify with them and learn from them.

Of course Perplexity are part of this, why wouldn't they be.

We see continued evidence that Perplexity is repeatedly modifying their user agent and changing their source ASNs to hide their crawling activity, as well as ignoring — or sometimes failing to even fetch — robots.txt files

Fuck Perplexity and the rest of these AI companies who think everything is theirs for the taking so they can make they bullshit generators better.

A few thousands geeks, all used to recompiling their own kernels and participating in the Fediverse, and most thought that Matrix was too much of a faff.

The one time I tried Matrix it was terrible. Glad it wasn't just me.

no one could have predicted this

This is a masterclass in writing a good tutorial.

I got a mention in this 🥰

These men are neither smart nor intellectually superior, and it’s time to start treating them as such.

This is a long one but well worth your time.

This is so cool.

This is so cool

Big tech wants us to use AI in our work, but I find zero joy in that. So, I don't.

The fearmongering around how I'm supposedly missing out on increased productivity leaves me cold, tbh.

This would help not only with just making them but also when they inevitably break at random.

This looks really handy and more or less what I do for Ruminate and We Got Family but without all the faff.

This site crawls the links between 88x31s on the internet

Love it

I’ve even heard shocking reports of teams failing to incorporate plagiarism into their processes, because—I can’t believe I have to repeat this—“it’s not helpful.”

Glorious.

It’s fucking ice cream. It doesn’t matter. The options are purely preferential, and there’s no real effect if either flavor is declared the best

your ability to separate politics from who you are isn't universal nor is it an option for some folks; it's a privilege to be someone who doesn't have to worry about whether or not your basic human rights are being taken away

Everyone should read this. Especially number two.

Apple releasing Pride bands and wallpapers is simply not enough to compensate for its decision not to speak out against President Trump’s attacks on trans people

This is about as close to doing nothing to help LGBTQ+ communities without actually doing nothing. The banging-pots-and-pans-at-your-front-door of product releases.

This is equal parts hilarious and sad.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing Apple get the kicking they so deserve

Cook chose poorly

This is an injunction, not a negotiation

🔥

The status quo of power and privilege maintains its place by keeping everyone quiet. It keeps outsiders from encroaching by acting and refusing to let accountability happen. But it’s always ok to say something. This is actually a good use of privilege.

Now I don’t know anything! But I also don’t feel obligated to hate people

A very good post that's worth your time.
