@Emmacox At least in the chocolate department, sometimes it's worth listening 🫡 😄

I've been wanting to write an essay on my thoughts on AI for a while now, after all these years in the hype cycle, drowning in slop.

So yesterday I finally sat down and wrote a long one summing up my criticisms and current outlook, after using the dumb clanker to vibe-code something that actually kinda worked for the first time.

Still some light editing to do, but I'll share soon.

@Emmacox Ah, but of course the vast advertising machine knows us better than we know ourselves! /s

Mine has put me in the "surely you're starting to go bald by now" camp 👴

(and my creaky bones)
Only remembering my age these days thanks to the shifting targeted advertisements I receive on my personal ad device.
@dallin and are you trying to publish a blog post while logged in? Or an anonymous one? Then I can take a closer look at what might be going on.

Met up with @[email protected] for a mini Longformers reunion ✍️

Lots of discussion about Writefreely, NodeBB, WordPress, Ghost, contexts, group federation, and much more.

@dallin hey what error are you seeing? Mind sending a screenshot / error message?
@julian yes reunited!
Who else is in Montreal for #FediMTL? Let's meet up! I'm around until Wednesday.
