    Literally setting fire to the world because the US government is rammed full of corruption and oil cronies. Meanwhile everything is fine for the handful of billionaires who benefit…

    I'd consider Substack if it had options to make my blog the canonical. But AFAIK that isn't possible; the only way of doing it would be for Substack to be the canonical and my blog…

    Anyone else find the use of the ladies in the videos to be pretty patronising? Or just me...?

    > On that last point, this technology is horrific for attention. It's a thermonuclear ADHD amplifier. Wowzers this resonated with me. I’m an ideas person, and a pretty bad coder, a…

    15 years in running a tiny micro agency (me and my wife), working with non profits. Still looking ok right now, and I still love it and my clients who are ace. I’m mainly a PM thou…

    What strikes me a significant percentage of the time I see posts like this and the responses to it is how shit other people’s jobs seem and how unfair their employers appear to be.…

    I think it’s this but also that we all see the value in our own niche because it’s ours, and have more trouble seeing the values in other niches. So it becomes a self perpetuating …

    I’ve had some fun building simple instruments in the browser using AI and piping midi to Live, then munging from there [0]. The whole principle of fully AI generated music leaves m…

    100% agree. The 2007 smoking ban in the UK totally transformed the landscape here, and yes people could still go home and smoke or whatever, but that ban has made a huge and signif…

    It’s a fun idea. I was thinking much like others that you need a web app - but then presumably you’re having to intercept the “real” url on qr codes, right? I mean - if I scan a qr…

    I think the whole thing is batshit, honestly. Much as I love using Claude or whatever to help me write some code, it's under some level of oversight, with me as human checking stuf…
