Rude Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose. Highlighted Off, darkened Warn, and darkened Hide buttons.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Against the protection of stocking frames. — ethanmarcotte.com “Artificial intelligence” is a failed technology. It’s time we described it that way.

We are well past the point at which talking uncritically about AI should be seen as deeply embarrassing. https://ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/against-stocking-frames/

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) - Movie Review Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs - Movie review by film critic Tim Brayton

Tim’s blog series about the Disney animated features in the late 2000s was so important to me www.alternateending.com/2009/10/disn...

To this day I still mutter the ancient words:

Jack Ryan, Jack Reacher
Bad Santa, Bad Teacher

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

Haha but Eephus is a really good movie

"actually there are a few use cases for LLMs" fair enough friend! Just know that I lose all respect for you when you use them for anything at all. Utter contempt. I'll never respect you again. Good luck out there

I love the way the frame bobs to the beat

you're being very aggressive and unkind to genAI right now and not really giving it a chance, and i just want to say good job that's the way to do it

Just stepped outside to check my neighborhood’s weirdly active flag pole because I’ve definitely seen that one. It’s currently nude.

For literally no reason I've updated the Javascript on my non-interactive GORILLAS.BAS browser port. I originally wrote this in 2014…in CoffeeScript.

The reality is that there is all the difference in the world between designing a picture of a website and designing a fully responsive and accessible site.

They are different problems that require different tools.

Omega Mart is great—do the keycard upcharge quest if you have a couple hours to spend. The janky animatronic show in the mall at Ceasar's Palace is also great

⚠️✨ I need work! I’m a frontend web developer with 15+ years experience, I’m an expert WordPress developer, I love making things usable and writing documentation and talking to people. Links to my resume and work are on my website at matthewmcvickar.com. THANK YOU! 💛⭐️

I don’t think you did, which is why I felt compelled to reply. I think of you and the rest of Panic as a group of very thoughtful and human-centered technologists, and I’m bummed to see any of you giving this stuff the time of day.

The quality of this comic is surprisingly impressive, but I think it’s important to remember—or at least I have to keep reminding myself—that “the results aren’t good enough” is not one of the many reasons to reject these tools.

Please don’t engage with this stuff, Cabel.

Anil Dash has written about how dangerous this actually is.

Folks are using Substack branding for their own work and they’re paying SS 10 percent for the pleasure. It’s really fucking weird when you stop and think about it.

every little bit of contribution to or normalization of fascism helps fascism.

“i’m on substack because that’s where the network is.”

every little bit helps!

“i’m on x because that’s where my followers are.”

every little bit helps!

I’m not sure that creative merit of work made with LLMs is even worth debating any more. No defenses of “AI art” have been in good faith; it’s “my kid could draw that” for a new generation with added retaliatory contempt for “cancel culture,” the labor movement, DEI, etc

That -x flag seems like such a dangerous idea

it’s tiring talking about this every few weeks but if you want to launch your newsletter on substack and share revenue with those guys, that’s your choice. but at this point you know exactly what you’re getting into and everyone else knows, too.

It is never too late to abandon Substack - and it’s never been easier, thanks to all the writers who’ve already made the journey to Beehiiv, Ghost, Buttondown et al.

“He is a demon and he is a Shrek” remains one of the all-time phrases
