Hey I recognize that art from the cover of The White Mountains of the Tripods Trilogy!

Oh no, I love their articles.

Thanks! I just cross-posted from where I saw it.

Your outtie likes the sound of radar.

This would be my first time going (if the weather holds) and yeah probably my my last.

Funny thing is, it was such a short email about the weather this weekend that it probably took them longer to write the prompt with all the specifics than if they just wrote the single paragraph themselves.

Might be time to finally pick up Alt-Frequencies. I’ve had it on my wishlist for ages.

Chris Roberts collab when?

Please bro please just don’t call it slop please I’m begging you please bro

Interesting, I did the whole rigamarole about a year ago to downgrade to a non-AI version of Office (for a cheaper sub too), I wonder how this will impact that.

I have used FOSS alternatives in the past but seeing how I use Office apps at work it’s just what I’m more familiar with. I’d like to move off of it but we are also sharing a family sub with some others.

ETA: Our current one is 365 Family Classic and so far it doesn’t say anything is changing. Love how they don’t advertise that option to new sign-ups, you literally have to agree to one of the slop tiers and then ‘downgrade’.

I really enjoyed my time with the first one and I keep meaning to pick this one up.

Wait, she’s HAPPY about this? I thought she was going to be horrified. 🤦‍♂️

Ha I went down a rabbit hole with that site. Whatever happened to the project? Just fizzled out? It makes me weirdly nostalgic for the early-00s internet and gaming.

That may be true. Still a company, still doesn’t care about anyone besides as a consumer. I don’t get the weird parasocial relationships people develop with any company/corporation.

I really hope this marks the end of the internet’s weird love fest with this company and CEO. They don’t care about you in the slightest.

Ah if only. I think Sports Story broke those devs ☹️

This is awesome. My 8-yr old has started calling it out when he thinks he sees it. We’ve been explaining to him how bad and unreliable it is, and how it’s not really ‘AI’ but just marketing. I think he’s starting to get it.

Well he is a C-level exec so I’m sure a lot of stuff ‘puzzles’ him.

And to you. 😞
