Made a dumb website so I wouldn't ever have to Google "tm symbol" again.

@autumn It’s a series of three! https://loladupre.com/archive

All of YouTube is destined to become lost media when Google loses interest or viewers move onto something else. All these channels that you love now will only exist on the creators hard drives and you'll never be able to see them again

Good Morning Wednesday 👋

Saw someone refer to the Cybertruck as an incEl Camino and, yup, that's what it's called now.

POV: You made the mistake of trying to track a package in 2024

We have laws that say companies have to disclose a breach when it involves the theft or disclosure of certain information. But AFAICT none of those laws say companies have to disclose the issue on their homepage somewhere. Even with breaches that are going to require all of the victim's customers to do IT gymnastics for several days to mitigate the threat.

Day 5 of Sisense's epic ownage and still crickets about the issue on their homepage.

It's ridiculous that I've got a 3D game on my site that happily runs at 120fps on normal mid-spec PCs/phones but there are news sites chugging away harder to show some text. Browsers have come so far but every improvement gets pissed away on ads & bad coding

You know the "repeat the previous text" trick to get initial chatbot prompts?

This variant sure makes it look like Bing Copilot GPT4 is leaking state between user sessions. I have never used copilot before.

OK, so someone just put Brass Against - Killing in the Name into my timeline and while it was playing my Friday dancers started doing this.

That's some dark magic going on there.

the first thing they tell you at the cyber academy is if anyone shows romantic interest in you they are a spy 😔

Have just discovered that it's now possible to buy a Covid booster in the UK.

Ignoring, for the moment, the issues in not providing them for more people via the NHS, I thought there might be others out there keen to take advantage who had also missed the news, so there's a summary of current situation here:

Thanks to @ProfLouiseL for the initial heads up & @richardloxley for the summary.

People trying to train AIs are now complaining that all of the AI data on the internet are making it hard for them to get quality training sets of natural language and images.

*bitter snickering*

I cannot wait until we come full-circle and someone builds a model to convert youtube videos into written articles

Twitter just doing a "redirect links in tweets that go to x.com to twitter.com instead but accidentally do so for all domains that end x.com like eg spacex.com going to spacetwitter.com" is not absolutely the funniest thing I could imagine but it's high up there

In case anyone outside the UK is wondering - yes, our media & govt really are that transphobic, and the views of extremist bigots are being gradually & carefully rubber-stamped as moderate & scientific, it's grim

(Are there complex and messy issues around the precise details of how certain aspects of gender identity should be handled? Yes, of course! But people like R*wling and Gl*nner fundamentally believe trans people don’t/shouldn't exist, a view that's being rapidly normalised)
