 @molly0xfff here, wapo's advice is only $1 per week https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2023/09/04/sandwich-recipes-lunch-work-school/  Pasta - $26.99 Somebody who is good at this economy help me balance my budget. super cool that all these companies have decided to make customers opt OUT of having their data sold for AI training purposes "but no one would do it if it was opt-in!" yeah, THAT IS THE PROBLEM

@molly0xfff appreciate your explanation and the technical details about your migration. I'd considered Substack in the past for the network effects, but had never been able to get past not owning my own content. I build websites for a living though, so in a lot of ways it's an easier decision. I haven't followed this closely but I really feel for all the writers trying to figure out what to do.  @molly0xfff woo!! i'm glad it has a more easily found RSS link, too, gonna go migrate my feed reeder to the new link now!

@molly0xfff I also like Slack's release notes, but I don't think they're as fun as they used to be. Also honorable mention to Discord, but I think they often overdo it. @molly0xfff @signalapp had this great message on July 19, 2023 for its 6.26.0 update: always remember to double check the destination wallet address before sending the down payment to the hitman you've hired to kill your girlfriend https://justice.gov/usao-ndga/pr/doctor-pleads-guilty-dark-web-murder-hire-plot

@molly0xfff The story is vague about whether the hitman was an agent or whether the FBI found out about the hit in some other way. But is $16,000 really all it costs to have someone killed? That’s scary.  @molly0xfff Ah hah ha, I wrote something very similar. It's called A SERIES OF ONE-SIDED CONVERSATIONS. http://gregstolze.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/OneSided.pdf Yes, the enthusiasm for NFTs has cratered, but we shouldn't use junk analysis to make that point. Too many news outlets uncritically reprinted a bad "study", and the resulting eye-catching headline was widely shared. https://newsletter.mollywhite.net/p/news-flash-95-of-nfts-have-always

@molly0xfff Thanks Molly for your moral integrity. I can't overstate how refreshing it feels to see someone calling out misinformation, even when it goes in the direction of their own beliefs. Also, you're selling yourself short with that drawing 😄 @molly0xfff regardless of the study or whatever amount buyers and sellers value them at, they are still—all of them—worthless, which is the important point to drive home.  Seeing talk of chrome orbs that will give you crypto in exchange for your biometrics? That's Worldcoin, and and these are some of the risks we would need to consider if it became widespread. https://newsletter.mollywhite.net/p/worldcoin-a-solution-in-search-of

@molly0xfff “Innovative ideas in mechanism design and the attribution of social relationships will be necessary“ is an amazing way of saying "We don't know how to fix this"- this being an issue which, to me, looks like a fatal flaw @molly0xfff I will also admit to my great ignorance and lack of understanding of the greater cryptocurrency ecosystem. Great article! @molly0xfff great essay! I am curious what your quantum computing prediction is? Sooner or later than Halpin? Or perhaps something else?   with bluesky using domains for usernames, the time has finally come for of us who've somewhat habitually collected bizarro domains over the years last year i discovered that law360.com required a "professional email address" to sign up for free, which is how i came to be the proud owner of fartbag.lol

while going through a16z's massive list of portfolio companies i found that they invested in what appears to be some sort of rent-an-egirl service Feedly is really out here pretending they didn't just advertise "track[ing] strikes that pose a risk to company assets"
Show previous comments
@molly0xfff weird how gaslighting is just the outward (PR) language of tech companies now @molly0xfff Does Feedly want us to believe they are selling technology that can make the right call on some of the riskiest and most volatile job situations, and then refer to the benefits as assets and not human lives? They already forgot what they wrote. @molly0xfff Oh good god d*** it. It’s like reading server logs but they’re intentionally trolling. if you're trying to migrate off feedly, here's how to export an .opml file to import all of your feeds into a new RSS reader

 @molly0xfff great bot, but sadly still supporting the chief trust fund kid network  if you want to get a sense of some of the impact of this change, just look at the quote tweets 💔

 this seems specifically targeted to kill the golden goose who wants to stay on a Twitter without Possum Every Hour, or whatever whimsical bot makes it kinda nice to check in? @molly0xfff many apps that interact with it's API had problems even before this announcement and may have been deliberate: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/01/13/latest-twitter-problem-its-api-has-been-down-and-no-info-has-been-provided/ Remember photobucket? Controversial changes that happened in 2017 that broke 1000s of images on the internet by putting "off site hosting" behind a paywall. They did soften this policy a bit, but that's just one feature of the many useful features that were stripped out. if you are at all able (or able to learn), i highly recommend: i am much more willing to be a chaos gremlin on twitter knowing i have my own platform-of-one to fall back on, and it's freeing |
