 @april no, no, it'll keep *their* AI out of search results, not everyone else's. Which might be the worst of all worlds. if the EU passes eIDAS 2.0 (article 45), we will be rolling back the clock to Netscape Navigator Export Edition, a reference that approximately 1% of my audience will understand. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/11/article-45-will-roll-back-web-security-12-years me: hey big companies, can I download all of your copyrighted movies and music and images in case one inspires me to make something someday? big companies: lol no get rekt also big companies: btw we're downloading and using all of your copyrighted works to stuff into our machine learning models

@april The worst thing, is that this is the reality. All my data is being kept "hostage" @ Facebook, because i refuse to accept their new terms in Europe, and there's no way i'm paying them to stop doing so either, because i bet we will see a "scandal" in the future, where someone leaks intel about their "dark secret private data profiling". I just don't trust big tech companies like them. I guess i never truly have been lol 😅 tech be like: hiring a staff engineer: one req, six hours of interviews promoting to staff: a ten page promo doc requiring months of effort, feedback from dozens of colleagues, and approval by six layers of management … and then we wonder why the average tenure is so short.

@april After literally YEARS of dealing with the internal BS, including having the company change hands/get bought out repeatedly, so then HR had to re-do everything (including moving the goalposts repeatedly), I FINALLY got the promotion I've working at for the last few years. I'll be retiring next April, so there's that, I guess.😆  big middle finger to the universe, but especially to the colleague who made my bones hurt by pointing out that the `z` in `tar -xvzf` hasn’t been needed since version tar 1.15, released in 2004.

 I don't remember which parent suggested having ChatGPT write bedtime stories based on their children's prompts, but I owe you a lifetime of free drinks. upon further reflection, I am going to ask ChatGPT to write all my children stories in the style of the Brothers Grimm taking a brief moment to crush on Susan Kare. as NeXT employee #10, she invented many GUI elements and iconographies that we take for granted today. and she invented Monaco, one of my favorite fonts, alongside Chicago, San Francisco, and Geneva. oh yeah, and Clarus the Dogcow.

@april Not belittling anyone's achievements as this is awesome...however, I could not care any less about fonts. |
@april
This is the kind of brilliance that the internet is _for_.
@april Oh man I'm so glad this still works
@april this is such an excellent reference
