I had to stare out a window for a little bit after this one.

Alternate take: this is the same sort of mark self-sorting that scam artists use.
A reasonable person isn’t gonna reply to a typo-ridden email from a Nigerian prince. But those few who do are going to be easy to get everything from.
Imagine you’re an executive at the company your dad founded. You’re an idiot. Everyone knows you’re an idiot. But you think you’re smart. This guy is willing to consult with you about how your company will use AI (for a modest fee, of course). You don’t understand AI, but you think you do, and you just need someone to help with the details. And everyone has to nod their heads and agree to pay him because they’re afraid of getting fired.
You don’t have to fool everyone.

I’m late to the party but I use a WhamBam build surface on my Ender 3 V2. Absolutely a game changer. Wipe it down with high-percent isopropanol or acetone between prints and it works every time. Sticks like glue when hot and just pops off with zero effort once it cools down.

It’s not AI, it’s PISS. Plagiarized information synthesis software.
- Comment on Apple will allow users to download apps directly from a developer’s website, in latest EU App Store rule change 2 months ago:
Non-profit organizations, educational institutions, and governments are exempt from the fee. The full policy is here: developer.apple.com/support/core-technology-fee/
If you don’t plan to charge for it, you can also just publish through the existing App Store infrastructure, where there is no fee.
(I’m not being an apologist. There are so, so many shitty things about Apple’s implementation here, but this isn’t one. I believe the EU should blast Apple as hard as legally possible for the rest of their implementation which is intentionally terrible.)
- Comment on New York Times takedown domino effect hits nearly 2000 Wordle clones 2 months ago:
Oh, right – I definitely scrubbed the tracking stuff too. I wonder if that’s how all the clones were being found?
- Comment on New York Times takedown domino effect hits nearly 2000 Wordle clones 2 months ago:
I cloned the original website (it’s just a bunch of JavaScript) once the NYT deal went through and still self-host it. I changed a bunch of the UI text, specifically removing all the references to “Wordle,” and I think it’s just me and my friends that use it. Still works!

NetNewsWire on iOS and the Mac. Pretty great, and it’s FOSS to boot. Still working on a decent front end on other OSes, the web client is okay-fine but could be better.

I went with a self-hosted FreshRSS instance, it has its issues but it works well with the client apps I use.

Either you’re creating anti democratic propaganda or you’re consuming and regurgitating it. Fuck off.

I think the point is that even by the standards of his time, he was horrible. And that was an era where a common legal execution method was strapping you to a wagon wheel and beating you to death over the course of an hour. He was horrible compared even to that.

The best moment of this best moment is the split second where he reads his line off of the prompt, cannot believe what he is about to say, and then goes ahead and says it in the best way humanly possible. And that’s the take they used.
