level 0: if it can be done with webtech, it should be done, and should be done with webtech
level 1: if a website needs to get browser permission to do something, then it's something that shouldn't be done by a website

in the good timeline, GPT finally trains humanity to understand that someone who's eloquent is not therefore automatically trustworthy

Hot take:
As somebody who loves computer-generated bullshit,
LLMs are not better enough than Markov chains to justify the extra resource use or implementation difficulty, & are good for exactly the same set of tasks (generating plausible sounding bullshit from a curated corpus & generating autocomplete suggestions from a curated corpus)
Happy centennial to the Irish Constitution.
They sure don't make them like they used to.

You are telling ME to touch grass?
You clearly don’t know who you’re taking to.
I can ID the 120 most common lawn grass varieties from tactile stimulus alone.
Now, unless you distinguish fine fescue from Kentucky blue while BLINDFOLDED, stop wasting my time.
Political commentators need to set a cap on the amount of time they spend talking about Donald Trump.
Let's say no more than 20% of their show's runtime.
Spring comes.
Yuuko tells terrible jokes. Mio and Mai ignore her.
The girls are trapped in a broken elevator.
Nano scolds Hikase for eating snacks before bed. The importance of good dental care is stressed.
ChatGPT writes like a high schooler being taught how to write an essay.
<In conclusion, Europe is a land of contrasts.>
We learn the secret origin of Mio's hair ornaments.
Is love blooming in the teacher's lounge?
Mio's sister harasses Nano.
Nano and Hakase play baseball. Sakamoto coaches.
Yuuko cooks. Mio is unimpressed.
The principal wrestles a deer.
Nano tries to deal with a trapped cockroach.
The girls go camping. Rustic cooking over an open fire is more difficult than it looks.

This week, LastPass, and its parent company GoTo, both published blog posts about their recent data breach: http://tcrn.ch/3ucMvBx
But if you search for GoTo's blog post in Google, you won't find it, because GoTo hid its breach notice from search engines using "noindex" code.
@eniko I didn't even realize that filtering was built in by default!
How nice.
Is there a sensible trick to it? I've just been in following people who cross-RT.

"all software has bugs 
" is the "boys will be boys " of the tech industry
<Sometimes, houses just collapse> would be the equivalent.
And, you know, that was true in the past, but now we have building codes to prevent that.
Software development is a shantytown.

conflicted with a new pattern i use a lot for most of my recent games, where almost everything is a finite state machine w conditional transitions between states
it produces SOO much code with a lot of repetition, but oh my god its so so so so easy to write, debug, maintain & change its like so pleasant and simple
I am extending my personal policy into my following decisions.
If you copy your Twitter posts to fedi, fine. If you copy your RTs and QTs, I don't want it.
