The 2030 release date of StarCraft: Dominion is so extreme that it feels like an indictment not only of Blizzard but indirectly of AI

They’re owned by Microsoft, of all companies. If AI hyperproductivity is real at scale, then why can’t the game come out next year? Next month?

Anyone know how to get the projects view back on codex? It changed from project categorization to date categorization.

continued:

Nvm. There's a little bell icon on the top right of the sidebar which let's you switch between project and activity views.

Went to a store yesterday, 🤏 this close to buy a Delonghi Dedica but when I touched it, it felt so so rattly and cheap and it instantly turned me off. So I did some more research and now I think a used Gaggia Classic Pro will do. lovers, why is your hobby so hard to break into 😪

Hati-hati pak! I worked in Borneo before, and seeing the forests burn is horrifying. I miss all the wildlife there. Mau kembali ke Indonesia!

Is there any contact you can make with international advocates?

In other news, I'm circling what sure looks like GCP overbilling us by over $1M/year going back as far as I can see.

is anyone also hearing rumours about a power/internet blackout or is it just here?

replied to:

It is impossible, it was designed to withstand a nuclear catastrophe. Several hops in different countries would need to go offline simultaneously.

I wonder how much data Apple is transferring today. I used to download from a BBS Apple II software overnight on a 2400 baud modem. What a trip.

hot take: "consumer " doesn't exist. at most it's just better search, but the ai assistants like grokbot or now instinct aren't ever going to be big. new devices and personal agents are DOA

I like this, it feels like Reddit before what it is now, but I feel like it won’t be long until the internet destroys this place. Until then I’m happy to be here.

replied to:

It's really sad that this is such a common sentiment whenever there's a nice online community nowadays. Guess most of us have been burnt enough times by now

replied to:

lets enjoy this while it lasts i guess

My favorite part of classic reddit was the use of elaborate hacks to circumvent the restrictions on custom subreddit CSS. E.g. animated gifs weren't allowed, so people made filmstrip sprites with stepwise animation in such a way as to look exactly the same.

Beautiful day with local community. Lots of physical labor, all my joints are swollen, back sore, soles of my feet aching, but a beautiful day of people working together and recognizing what a special group we have.

I have developed a beautiful free app that lays out Instagram feed photos as a perfect masonry grid every time, no matter which photos you provide it. It's completely free to use if anyone wants to check it out

replied to:

Very cool! At least the landing page is amazing! I couldn’t try the app because I don’t have photographs locally, I thought it would be able to fetch my photos from Instagram, that part I found a bit confusing.

replied to:

It's to create the post FOR Instagram, so does need to pull from your photos on a device 😊

replied to:

Ok I see! Curious wouldn’t that be a good paid plugin for WP or standalone?

replied to:

I'm unsure why, it's just for general people to use, I feel like you haven't quite grasped what the app is 😅

…

replied to:

Now that you mention it like this, is it that you create the masonry collage so that someone can do a perfect Instagram carousel?

What could possibly go wrong?

replied to:

ooh maybe I revive and add this feature but instead of being able to modify everything it would be limited to adding features to the game/world. And it’s the perfect domain, a site that’s been ~~entirely~~ mostly hallucinated.

replied to:

Oh wow that site is amazing lol not seen it before

…

replied to:

ty! it’s been 3–4 months since I made it so it’s relatively new.

OK, so you only get 10 lines of output. (I tried to get ChatGPT to write this program but it kept messing up, so I wrote it by hand.)

azért aranyos, hogy egyből sandbox-ba kell tenni (a Virtualbox egy sandbox), hogy szét ne barmoljon mindent a gépen vagy a szerveren, vagy máshol, azért alapvetően békés kis állatkák ezek az ai chatbotok, na

It's cute because you have to put it in a sandbox right away (Virtualbox is a sandbox) so it doesn't mess up everything on the machine or the server or anywhere else, but these AI chatbots are basically peaceful little animals, right?
