Well, the original post isn't about how particularly efficient ChatGPT is at stripping all of the character and large amounts of information from a perfectly good source. The origi…

I'm doing fine on Safari. Sitting around 30 fps for me during moves etc. (Safari 16.1 on MacOS Ventura; M1 Pro)

I want my money back.

Consider that underpaid BIPOC and undocumented immigrants are less likely to be able to own a car and are thus, as pedestrians, more at risk of injury from reckless drivers. Also c…

"We said we were going to do something, and then we didn't." Isn't that the textbook definition of false advertising?

Wow, you did neocities? That's become a genuine social fixture in many ways in a number of the circles I'm in.
