Ah, so Patreon is the next company to implode. We're on quite the roll with tech companies being massively dumb.

I used to have a Pitbull, such a beautiful girl, who one day chased and killed one of our cats she'd grown up with. My friend had her brother, such a beautiful boy, who one day chased and killed one of their cats.

Last week, on my lifestyle block, two Pitbulls appeared and killed my chickens before I could stop them. I chased the fuckers off but haven't found where they came from.

That is all.

The joke's on them. I am no good before 8.30am or after 8.30pm.

Another interesting comment Mozilla's takeaway from the experiment was that Firefox "users made it clear that they look for and want and expect Google.”

There's a clear order for hygiene reasons

Anyone using Temu should understand their business model. See https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/06/05/temu-shopping-app-scam-china-spyware/

Another sad example of the harm caused by the war on drugs.

It's important to note that this is an official safety recall, even if the fix is a software update. How the fix happens is immaterial to NHTSA's safety recall process; the point is that the public and owners are notified that there is a safety defect and that there is a remedy.

Does Cloudflare's CSAM scanning tool help at all for instances using Cloudflare?

My wife always says she has less wrinkles there afterwards.

By perfecting it on the Amiga first

Yes, that does make a lot of sense. A few billion to take down Twitter is a great investment for them.

That cat cannot be happy. The shit people do for internet points...

Cloudflare not impressed https://blog.cloudflare.com/how-cloudflare-mitigated-yet-another-okta-compromise/

Dental plan!

Apple already added attestation into Safari.

I think it might be a standalone VR headset like the Quest

Bots now have a higher success rate with captchas than people.

Those are rookie numbers.

It's what they're called in NZ/Australia

Here's the rational answer, folks. Anything else is your emotional response.

The cat's dilated pupils tell another story

Wouldn't an AI company simply set up their own instance to have all content federated to it? I don't see any barriers to hoovering up the content here.

I fell asleep and watched TV

You might want to also look at the Snopes report about TEMU as well. https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/06/05/temu-shopping-app-scam-china-spyware/

I loved this game.

The second largest investors in Elon's Twitter are the Saudis. They might not take kindly to such antics.

Yes. I quit my web development career despite a great job because ultimately we were tasked with creating value for shareholders. Fuck that. At the 10 year mark of my career I asked myself if I was any happier than when I started out. The answer was NO.

So I resigned, emigrated from UK to NZ, bought some land, and ironically now make more than I ever would have in an office as an employee, and have hectares of land in a beautiful spot which I steadily plant up into a food forest.

Life's too short. See what your options are. You can live well rurally, but it's not for everyone.

Yeah, I remember a few puzzles were so hard. I doubt I'd have the same patience these days.

Weed (THC specifically) impacts dopamine levels.

"What Happens When Dopamine Levels Rise Due To The Effects Of THC?

Elevated dopamine levels trip the brain’s reward system, causing feelings of pleasure, satisfaction, and achievement. Dopamine can also make time seem to go slower as mental activity speeds up, with increases to libido, energy, and focus.

But, if dopamine levels in your system stay too high for too long, the body will close off some dopamine receptors for a while, even after your high wears off. 

This drops dopamine synthesis in your body, blunting the pleasure you would normally feel from other things in your life like food, physical contact, hobbies, and achievement.

This lack of enjoyment from other activities is a common symptom experienced by heavy marijuana users and those who abuse other drugs like opioids or amphetamines."

So, yeah, like others have said, take longer breaks.

I've been a web developer for 22 years. For the last 13 years I've been working self employed from home. I cannot express how useful AI has become. As a lone wolf, where most of my job is problem solving, having an AI that can help troubleshoot issues has been hugely useful.

It also functions as a junior developer, doing the grunt programming work.

I also run a bunch of e-commerce sites around the world and I use it for content generation, SEO, business plans, marketing strategies and multi-lingual customer support.

This is, sadly, all too common in NZ.

It's a great effort given how it's only just launched in early access. It does feel repetitive and has very little variety compared to, say, Vampire Survivors, but I think it'll get there.

So it begins.

Passkeys

Holy shit snacks, I had no idea Sam Altman has been fired

Terraria, by beating the Moon Lord on master mode. Oh, I'll be back, because I love playing it on the Steam Deck, and it's probably my most played game ever apart from TF2. Sadly, that game has aged badly.

At this point it really doesn't matter. Say it however you like.

And what about his Saudi investors?

Thanks, good to know.
