Are there enough users here to make that worthwhile?

At least he got a response. A while ago I clicked on a bad link when drunk and lost control of my Facebook account. Zero response from meta. Wankers. It’s unfortunate, I’d like to delete the account as there are some unfortunate photos of me on there from way back. I guess I will forever be visible wearing my ex’s lacy underwear and gripping a can of strong cider. Ho hum.

I’m guessing the noose wasn’t only for the benefit of outsiders. Most communities probably had one or two selfish people.

TBF the penguin is kinda hot.

Ah gotcha thanks.

Amazon eliminated side loading? I’ve been using calibre to convert books to azw and transfer to my Kindle. Always worked fine for me. Unless they pushed out an update to break this?

Thanks for that, I’ve saved your post for when I switch. My laptop runs windows 11 but I’m not enjoying the experience. Used linux a bit in the 90s but I’ve forgotten everything and will have to start from scratch. Yep, when I get some time I’m going to make the jump.

Mate I think you misread it again.

I had a song intermittently stuck in my head for over a decade, couldn’t remember the artist, song name, or any of the lyrics. I only had the genre, language it was in, and a vague, memory-degraded description of a music video. Over the years I’d tried to find it on search engines a bunch of times to no avail, using every prompt I could think of. ChatGPT got it in one. So yeah, it’s very useful for stuff like that. Was a great feeling to scratch that itch after so long. But I wouldn’t trust an LLM with anything important.

I’m surprised no-one has asked an LLM to produce a plausible version and just released that, claiming it’s a leak.

TBF it requires minimum effort from the ai. Efficient.

Nah, nothing’s enough.

Yeah, ppl say ‘if it’s free, you’re the product.’ and that sentiment feels like it applies here.

Not just who you are as a consumer, who you are as a person.

Future of democracy in the US relies on the people being vaguely intelligent as a group.

Yeah, it’s fucked.

They want to stop us controlling anything.

We only see each other two or three times a year and have mutually agreed not to discuss politics since the unfortunate Christmas dinner of 2016, just after the brexit referendum, when I’d had a few drinks and rose to the bait. And they always liked to bait me, knowing I was involved with direct action and am pretty hard left. They got more blowback than they anticipated. I love them, I can even understand their positions, but they’re not going to change and neither am I, so we just don’t discuss it anymore.

Yeah. I might break my rule for phantom liberty, it’s reduced to £17 at the mo. I’m enjoying cyberpunk so much I might make an exception here! But I’ve still got plenty in my backlog.

Mine was a direct, attributed quote from the US president.

I don’t mind paying for good games especially from indie studios. I wanna support that creativity. Although TBF I do usually wishlist them and buy them on sale. Just got some good stuff in the steam autumn sale for less than £10
