Social media always felt like shouting into the void, but these days it feels like the void shouts back with advertisements and proaganda.

Process the fucking payments, payment processors.

The series went to shit after the fourth one, Normal Girls: Beyond The Curve.

I want to get off Mr. Huang’s Wild Ride.

To work on one, the entire EMALS system has to be deenergized. That means the crew would have to stop launching aircraft to make repairs.

That sounds like one of those problems you’re supposed to fix in the design phase.

Feels like Iran is the big last hurrah before drones change the battlefield in the same way steel canons did.

Love hearing about products and services as I’m listening to my podcast about genocides and warcrimes. Mustard gas really gets me in the mood Blue Apron.

ChatGPT, write me a missive of a 16th century printing press operator saying goodbye to scribes, only their printing press swaps around words and hallucinates entire sentences every time they use it.

The NYT doesn’t seem to dislike the Internet Achive specifically. They just want to protect their content from AI scrapers.

I’m not sure what the solution is, but I know any legislation that would address it likely won’t be around until one or both sites go under.

The case was dismissed on Christmas Eve, but the damage had already been done; she had no money, no coat, and no way home, and subsequently lost her house, her car, and her dog.

The AI fucking up is noteworthy, but the real story is right here.

Deleted Facebook, but everyone is know is still maintaining an IG.

Wikipedia not having their own archives by now is a huge vulnerability.

Was this one of the emulators charging people money?

I’m going to selectively edit my post to make it easier for you to read and not get distracted from the point of what I was saying.

It wasn’t so much he was defending child pornography as he was saying leftists wanted to selectively take down a right-wing social media platform that right-wingers already successfully took from leftists and replaced with X.

That’s not surprising. There aren’t a lot of people rising up to defend the porn games that got delisted on sites like itch. Don’t worry, once all the porn is gone you’ll be hearing people saying the same thing to you when you argue against using facial recognition to shitpost on the internet. Gotta protect the kids!

That’s fine and all, but the same people saying Sweeney defended pedophilia are close to if not the same people who say you’re defending pedophiles if you don’t like payment processors strong-arming porn off of a bunch of different platforms. This is not an accusation against you.

So no change then?

It’s a similar story for the multiple Facebook communities for where I live. They handed a lot of bans during covid era while pushing anti-vax rhetoric.

A little bit of both. I ran a private wiki for writers to collaborate on for a project. I was doing other tech stuff for the team so it was my job to deal with it. Keeping it updated was a chore and actually using it was finicky.

For example, there was an issue we ran into where we wanted a dynamic table that pulled from other pages. Think of a shopkeeper inventory or something similar where each item was another page. Displaying an item worked fine the first time you pulled it, but if you updated the item’s page it wouldn’t push that to any page it’s displayed on. We ran into issues like this constantly. Some solutions worked, others didn’t.

After a year or so we migrated to something else. It’s free and it’s great that it exists, but it just has a roughness to it that we didn’t have the resources to deal with.
