The intro followed immediately by obvious AI slop put me so off that I stopped reading. They may be trying to make a point. But the way they are doing it is off putting.

I was hoping for a kind of joke. Like saying "idiot" as the last thing in your post and getting "Please don't sign your posts" as a reply.

Excellent set of commands. Of course the two most useful ones would never be useful in the code base I am currently working on. "fix" might be the single most common commit message…

The pop-up is about disabling javascript, to avoid this kind of website doing this kind of thing. I thought it was clever. But it also seems ham-fisted, and in poor taste.

The (very clearly AI-generated) watercolors were an immediate sign to be wary of this. But I read it because I liked the first paragraphs. The prose is decent, I like the premise, …

Thinking about how my television was only ever on the internet for 5 minutes in 2016. It must think the world is tiny.

I swap back and forth between favorit movies. Every few days it may be Goodfellas. Some days it is The Room. But I always return to Kiki’s delivery service and Howls moving castle.…

The font you chose is borderline illegible. Password being 3-20 characters makes me nervous. Fun idea though.

Looks amazing. A recent game, Eclipsium[0], was a short horror game with a similar esthetic. I really liked it for the simple gameplay and the short (less than 4 hours) completion …

If sponsored projects and in-video sponsor spots dried up because of low view count I feel like a +20% loss would be something they would feel on their bottomline? I suspect their …

This is completely unspoken by most of the youtube channels that are making videos about this. The reason they are worried is not because of the algorithm or vanity. Especially for…

I share my .emacs with people who ask. Not really for privacy, but because I would feel bad: If someone tried to use any of it and was not able to ask me what I was thinking. The u…

> Even rather good students with a lot of potential see all this engineering stuff more as a media career or a fun hobby. This seems positive, no? I love the idea that young people…

Kagi seems to genuinly have a good mission when it comes to the internet. I want small web search. I want good results. I will pay for search! I do not want to support Russia.

The database they are comparing to is probably not only youtube videos. So the freebooted or matching video, in their database, has a creation data which is earlier than the 3blue1…

I love the idea. But a quick test tells me it is not appropriate for anyone who uses any non-ascii characters. A shame. Loved all the recommendations in this thread. I have been th…

Seems like this just validates the idea that Patreon did not need to be an app. The website works just fine and I doubt people are using the app for discovery or content creation? …

Amazing, they are indeed adorable!

I am concerned that there are no pictures of the adorable cats in the post. It sound like the manufacturers just see USB-A as a convenient and cheap connector for delivering power.…

Is there much consumer confusion here? Are people buying oat drink "dairy alternative" and thinking they can use it 1-to-1 in place of milk? This feels like a silly way to go about…

For about a year, I would receive a password reset notification from Minecraft, every day. Someone thought they had the account name "mark", I am sort of glad they moved to emails …

My emacs setup is pretty much eye candy free. I remove scrollbars and menus because I never use the mouse and mode-line linenumber and % of file is usually fine. Zone seems like fu…

I think BQN is a lot of fun, it is an array language like APL, but it does some things different https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/ the documentation is great. Dyalog APL is more of …

Completely off topic: The dark-mode made me chuckle.

Sort of reminds me of the foo at https://www.bar.com/ Although Gail seems to be blessed with not receiving most of the email people are sending.
