Then I found out there were even more lies. Their latest story is that my background check had an error - so they CANCELLED my order and just left me hanging. So they type in a wrong digit because they can barely hear me with their awful support phone lines - so I get punished and lied to.

The quality of GE products has gotten so bad over the years that they should be embarrassed.

AT&T lied to me about being able to setup my house for Internet today. Now I find out they lied to my neighbor too and won’t get to her for 2 weeks. Do not trust them. They claim they left voice mail. They did not. They say waiting for 3rd party. No appt even set.

Here is the prompt that I used to generate that image: β€œCreate a chart showing a SaaS talking to a browser vs an MCP talking to a chat / AI prompt”

Bluesky could use a credential popup like they have on LinkedIn.

Though if you are building an internal tool you may not even be worried about monetization.

Instead of creating a SaaS accessed through a browser, consider building an MCP accessed via a prompt. The tricky part is figuring out how to monetize it.

Tip of the day:

If you transferred everything from your old Mac to a new Mac, reinstall Docker for Desktop.

I had major issues enabling Kubernetes and couldn’t change the resource settings. I had to start over.

The only hostility that I’ve encountered is artists blocking me - for reposting their work. They don’t get how social media works.

Most of the AI hate is on YouTube. Post a 5 second clip and the trolls will go insane.

I’ve made my Pano Zoom app free until the end of June.

Years ago I think you had to pick between Free or Paid. If that was the case then, it’s not the case now.

In the future I’ll start apps free to build an audience and get feedback.

Overwater bungalow, Tahiti.

I’m curious as to how a panoramic looks when uploaded to Bluesky.

If you download it and view it using my Pano Zoom app, I wonder if something gets lost in the translation?
