  This comment really exemplifies the ignorance around AI. It’s not fancy autocorrect, it’s fancy autocomplete.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ya, AI is not the story here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gemini looks cool, but I wonder if Gemtext isn’t a bit too simple. I think the ideal format would be to go back to the idea of “hypertext”, without the CSS and Javascript.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m out of my depth now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just luminescence.

  The same article says they are the same species (different subspecies) 🤷‍♂️.

  Thank God I don’t live in England!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No JS, No CSS, No HTML: online "clubs" celebrate plainer websites⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I know that’s what CSS is supposed to do, but I’m not sure many people use it that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: WD-40 is perfect for removing adhesive left behind by stickers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cooking oil helps with scrubbing it off so that it doesn’t continue to stick. Good for scraping off the residue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anker recalls over a million power banks due to fire and burn hazards⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This recall applies only to the Anker PowerCore 10000 power bank (Model: A1263) manufactured between January 1st, 2016 - October 30th, 2019 in black, blue, red and white, sold in the United States between June 1st, 2016, and December 31st, 2022.

  So if I bought mine on Amazon.ca in Canada it won’t burn my house down?

  Haha. I guess I never noticed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Java at 30: How a language designed for a failed gadget became a global powerhouse⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Java was stagnating under Sun, unfortunately. I hate to say it, but Oracle probably saved Java.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Searchable db/Knowledge Management Software⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’ve both been mentioned multiple times already, but I think you need to try out both Logseq and Obsidian and pick whichever you like better. They are both very similar, but take slightly different approaches. There are also plugins for each to make them behave more like the other.

  I personally use Logseq because it’s open source and I like the daily journal and outlining features. I used and enjoy obsidian, too, and it has plugins to improve journals and outlining.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xitter Pause Encrypted DMs.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn. That’s probably the last time I used it, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xitter Pause Encrypted DMs.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair point. Missed an “invent” in your title 😅.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The people who first invented tools had to invent inventing tools without tools.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s basically what the How to Make Everything YouTube channel is about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why not just go back to 14 years with another optional 14 year renewal period if you are still alive.

  And of course corporations should not be able to hold copyright, only license it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, now that rich people want to break the law to create AI we should just make it legal for them.
