cohost shutdown
January 1, 2025: we will set cohost.org to redirect to the wayback machine to prevent link rot. this is something we will be paying for out of pocket since ASSC will no longer be an operating concern, but itβs max $100 per year total so itβs fine.I appreciate this, and wish more websites would make such arrangements before shutting down.
This is actually the OPPOSITE of doomposting but:
Don't let Cohost make you think that better things aren't possible online. Cohost actually had a better conversion rate than most websites by FAR. People WERE in fact willing to pay for a site that doesn't try to trick them into watching ads or engaging for clicks. They just had a poor business plan. But I've seen posts like "guess nobody's willing to pay to not be the product..." and that's not what happened here at all, people were in fact willing to pay, heck some people were buying extra subscriptions (which functionally did nothing) just to pay MORE.
@efi so a diablo-like?
It's time to play Lovely Lady RPG which my wife released yesterday https://das-kunstkollektiv.itch.io/llrpg π
It's very good and I'm proud of her for finishing it β€οΈ
A few years ago we were walking in the park and she was talking about wanting to make a specific kind of game but none of the visual novel engines around were good for it, so I told her I could make a "quick parser". Quickly decided to make it in a way that could be reused in other games and open source, and years later that engine is what you know now, but this game is where it all started

Seriously though: I want (okay, demand) a version of Firefox with the "AI chatbot" functionality removed. Not disabled. Removed. I want all code which is specifically designed to connect to OpenAI removed from my computer completely. I do not care if the vampires have promised not to suck my blood. I do not want the vampires in my house in the first place. https://mk.nyaa.place/notes/9xvolkux40ok0n1m
Don't mind me, just dialling #Picotron back to 1991 to work on my #Pico1k entry... π€π
