But that would require some mechanism for redistributing wealth and taking care if those who choose not to work, and everyone knows that’s communism.

I wish streaming companies would take notes from Spotify. It’s not too expensive, non-exclusive, acceptable quality even on higher end gear.

Doesn’t shove idiotic recommendations on my face, doesn’t bug me about my address, doesn’t randomly drop in quality because my neighbour is taking a piss. Looking at you, Netflix, you expensive useless piece of shit.

(I’m fact, Spotify’s recommendations are so good that I’m constantly finding new stuff I actually like.)

No it wouldn’t. Phones aren’t cheap.

Okay, let me rephrase that.

That’s easy to achieve if you use a massive billion-person platform to aggressively push Threads on everyone’s faces and make it very easy to accidentally create an account.

Better?

Because the EU is such a massive market, EU law tends to bleed out. It’s expensive to keep different SKUs for different regions, so compliance tends to seep out.

I’d expect at least some of this to have an impact outside the EU.

Jay-Zed as a joke is definitely something I’ve done.

Sometimes my car decides to play some radio before connecting to my phone. It’s an unfortunate side-effect of owning a not-too-nice car.

Radio DJs are little more than advertising agents nowadays. Or worse, wannabe entertainers.

Also no one else being there.

Also being in my home.

Also getting to work in pants.

So I guess nothing, then 👌

My landlord remortgaged the house to pay for a year-long trip around the world.

I guess it’s good he’s enjoying my money.

That’s interesting, do you have a link where I could read more about that?

Cool, Meta can fuck right off the EU. Good riddance.

They called OP’s bluff. They should sue, but reddit knows they won’t.

There’s an in between. Have the LLM map into predefined responses, thus leveraging the LLM’s insane parsing abilities with the linearity of tree-like structures.

It can be done, and can be done intelligently.

Which I somewhat doubt was the case here.

They’re just following in the EU’s steps in a self-aggrandising move. Everyone knows apple won’t bother with splitting the iphone line and will go with USB-C soon.

It’s not an allergy, it’s hiding punches. It’s concealing the fact that they’re fucking you in the ass by telling you it’s just a penis-based prostate exam, and that you’re the one being weird. It’s gaslighting.

It’s one of the things I hate most in our capitalist dystopia.

Sounds like my Facebook feed.

Domains were seized.

¿Qué?

Surely this is bait and we’re falling for it?

I guess hoovering up all your data ain’t enough.

Hah, I only knew that name from Daisy 2.0, turns out is a whole rabbit hole!

I just bought it the other day and went in blind with a friend. My god is it an insane game.

My friend isn’t even an engineer and he was talking about refactoring.

I’ll make an engineer out of him yet, you’ll see.

I managed to get most of my family to remove it. Now they just watch instagram reels, which I kinda feel is a step sideways.

Yes please. First thing I had to do on new Reddit accounts was always unsubscribe from the giant, bot-infested communities.

Any news on how there tend to perform compared to GPT-4? I finally decided to toss OpenAI 20 quid to try it out for a month, and it’s pretty impressive.

Yeah I though I was gonna outgrow metal.

Boy was I wrong.

Even my iPad keyboard (the folio from Apple) “only” cost like £180. Samsung’s going nuts.

Bad news, mate

Wefwef does stuff I didn’t even know was possible on a webapp. The gestures work very nicely, it’s responsive, etc etc etc.

Really shows how low the bar has been set for other websites.

Oh yeah. Some of my worst work is on those mega-inspired days where I sit for 10h and crank out 10000 words.

To this day I don’t know why I do that if I end up throwing most of it away.

Maybe it’s good to get bad plot out of the system.

The Nier automata soundtrack is on another level. What a collection of absolute masterpieces.

Weight of the world still brings a tear to my eye.

And immediately face planted as your legs give in after 75 minutes without circulation.

This is why we’ve moved here.

That… what? Surely that’s not a thing?

Or horny.

Or, in short: dude likes Honda, Honda makes EVs, get one of those 😁

mathematically simple

And, as far as I can see, neutral. Doesn’t put you in a bubble like other social networks do, because it’s not trying to milk you for engagement.

That’s what they always say, but no one considers the starting conditions.

Imagine you’re fighting a dead fat guy. Sounds easy, right? 300kg of dead weight just waiting for you to bury your fists in it.

But now imagine the fat guy starts next to you, standing. Can you stop 300kg of dead flabby dude from burying you? Didn’t think so. You’re gonna die a gruesome suffocating death under some guy’s quadruple chin because you didn’t consider the implications.

Come on. Be better, people.

December

Haha, more like the entire next year.
