Excuse me what? I’ve been multi cd’ing for years like a chump?

Oof, “active shooter” vibes, shelter in place :/

I wish people would start plastering this bad boy all over the place. He haaaaaates it.
What sort of knives are you working with?


Alienation is a helluva drug
Sublime gang rise up 😭

I keep saying this - when I experimented with chatgpt for a couple weeks, I felt like I learned nothing. When I manually search things down, read articles, make inferences from details - that’s a research process with deep synthesis. My ideas and knowledge gained had a provenance and trail of breadcrumbs through the different resources I had dug though. Nodes on my knowledge graph I could return to later, perhaps even for a completely different subject. That week using AI was like paint by number - it felt like trying to drive somewhere I’d been before via Google maps, but without Google maps. No reference points, no muscle memory, no sense of time, just direction taking and roteness.
But then again, I have ADHD, so maybe the spatial/temporal aspect is important for me.

But I am le’ tired.

DEEP CUTS damn I flashbacked hard


As a web dev myself, I know the sheer amount of money that would have to go into monkey patching together all these disparate protocols and ancient APIs, plus the regulatory requirements, and that’s BEFORE worrying about consumer AND vendor adoption. The only reason to get into it is if the service is secondary to chasing a lucrative buyout before you get crushed by some multinational online retail cartel you never knew existed (but always suspected), or Google AEEs you.
Fintech blows.


These people are going straight to hell.

These days, it’s more like they’re literally buddies behind the scenes while expressing partisan vitriol in public for show. It’s fucking gross.


If I’m being honest, the only thing stopping me from shopping at other sites is having to put my personal and payment details in yet another site for it to go stale, or fall out of my memory, or get leaked in the next big hack.
Some sites have “pay with Amazon” (more likely PayPal, but… ugh. I don’t remember why, but I hate it), but I’d love to see some universal adoption of some sort of payment and shipping details lockbox. Like SSO where you can revoke access to subscribers or something.
This but unwashable security ink or dye.
