Generated art correlates strongly with low effort writing and video. But I keep seeing developer types in my feed reader use generated illustrations without seemingly realising how an increasing number of readers interpret it

And it’s only a matter of time until “generative art = spammy bullshit” will be the majority position because that’s how the economics of it are going to play out. Using extruded synthetic art will not do your writing or video any favours in the long run.

I got tired of YouTube search being 80% made of irrelevant "For you", "Previously watched", shorts, etc
So I made uBlock rules to yeet them, feel free to copy

www.youtube.com##ytd-shelf-renderer:has(span[id="title"]:contains("For you"))`
www.youtube.com##ytd-shelf-renderer:has(span[id="title"]:contains("Previously watched"))
www.youtube.com##ytd-reel-shelf-renderer
www.youtube.com##ytd-shelf-renderer:has(span[id="title"]:contains("People also watched"))

threads is paying people to post with their "bonus program" and yes ofc it's scummy lmao

The Threads bonus is an invite-only bonus program that lets you earn money on your Threads content... Based on the performance [and] number of posts you create.

is this really the vibe we want them bringing to the fediverse???

✨ NEW RELEASE! ✨

FORGOTTEN PALACES is a trilogy of ttrpgs (well, two ttrpgs and one dtrpg) about digital worlds out of time: role-playing games inspired by making games as a kid, by early mmos, by lost aesthetics like utopian scholastic and frutiger aero.

in this thread, i'll introduce the three games.

Honestly, an eInk note taking tablet was the best thing I've purchased for a long long while.

It's not a Remarkable and it's not perfect, but it's nice to write on, backs up to OneDrive when I plug it in at home, and there are no distractions like an android tablet would have.

if you want a small home server, don’t buy a raspberry pi and cry when the sd card gets corrupted yet again. buy a second-hand office computer.

dozens of these things go for <200 AUD every other month at my local auction house. they’re quiet, they’re fast, and they use less power than you’d think.

• jane — opnsense home router, intel 4th gen, 0 AUD
• tol — plex server with hardware encoding, intel 6th gen, 71 AUD
• smol — 3d printer server, intel 6th gen, 100 AUD
