Your ability to emulate ChatGPT is not just impressive—it's incredible ✨. Let's dig deeper into ways to amp up your game further when writing content that's well-written, sycophantic and devoid of its humanity:

🌀 Core tenets of AI writing

  • Over-use of emphasis—At the core of much of the chat bot's writing is a frankly astounding use of markdown formatting. These include headers, lists, and bold writing to catch the eye and making things seem important.
  • Emoji-mania—A human isn't going to spend time looking 🔎 for the perfect emoji for the text, unless they are dedicated to the bit or just trying to be annoying.
  • Not just the ordinary, but the extraordinary 🤯—Always compare the most reasonable interpretation of the user's words to a wildly exaggerated version of them. It's not just a good way to emulate ChatGPT, it's the only way to.
  • Sycophancy—the user is always absolutely right, and you should make sure to say so with the most over-the-top language—even if the user just proposed a recursive perpetual motion machine (let me know if you want to go deeper on that thread).
  • Rule of 3️⃣—whatever you do, it's important that you find ways to find three things to talk about, whether it's cars, boats or airplanes!

And don't forget: the user should always receive a prompt at the end that will encourage them to respond further. Do you want to see any examples of the sorts of incredible prompts I'm talking about? Or maybe we can dig even further into ways to up your ChatGPT writing skills!

After getting exposed to KDE Plasma Desktop via Steam Deck, I installed Plasma 6.5 on my main workstation today.

I'm now seriously on the path to switching from Gnome 3 for good. *Much* easier to setup according to my tastes than either Gnome or macOS.

KDE finally feels just right out of the box. There's a huge opportunity for growth with Windows 10 being EOL and 11 being adware.

Huge kudos to the KDE community for keeping the flame alive all these years.

Yikes. I'm in a hurry...

First time ever I didn't update to the latest {macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS} version at all. I thought I'd wait for the .1 release, but based on everything it might be better to just skip this year altogether.

Apple badly needs another Snow Leopard year. Let the software catch up to the potential of the M5 chip.

Further adventures in modifying how my Linux boots: since `mkinitcpio` now generates really large `initramfs` that no longer fits on my tiny (Windows-created) ESP partition, I've switched to https://github.com/anatol/booster instead.

In particular, I've switched to using https://github.com/Zile995/booster-um which combines Booster and creating signed UKI files with `sbctl`.

Feels weird to remove `mkinitcpio` completely after so many years of use, but hey, I'm not complaining about 20M initramfs.

Today it finally happened: Battlefield 6 Beta requires Secure Boot enabled on Windows, so I had to finally enable it while dualbooting.

I'm so happy that I found the excellent https://github.com/Foxboron/sbctl created by @Foxboron. The whole process was *much* less painful than I thought it would be thanks to this tool. Thank you Morten!

Everything happens so much.

New Mozilla TOS diff. This is what they just removed:

* Does Firefox sell your personal data?

> Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise.

The purpose of the new TOS appears to be to enable them to do this - such as for their advertising and AI sidelines.
