LMAO managed to activate a client's security team by misspelling an email when requesting access to something. Seems I give off "hacker invading your systems" vibes

Get your website back, reclaim your history
In the digital world, there’s nothing more disheartening than losing access to a website you’ve poured time and effort into building — a connection point with readers, referenced by links to articles and news :(
Lost your website? We can (maybe) help!
We're offering a Resilience Grant for NGOs, non-profits, and individuals who protect human rights and empower people, especially those facing systemic inequity and prejudice. We'll recover your site and make it more resilient with the DWeb—100% free.
Apply now through this form! We'll be choosing two organizations to work with in early January 2025.
FAQs
How will you recover my site?
We can restore your site if it meets certain technical conditions. Share your details in the registration form so we can evaluate whether we can help you.
How do you make my website more resilient?
At Distributed Press, we specialize in creating decentralized versions of websites using protocols like IPFS and Hypercore.
Having collaborative copies of your site hosted outside HTTP helps avoid fragility and link rot, reduces the risk of losing information, makes your data more resistant to censorship and deletion, and ensures it remains accessible even if/when hosting servers go down. As part of this grant, we’ll not only recover your site but also host it on the Distributed Web.
What are the conditions?
We will recover 1 site for 2 organizations or individuals during February 2025. Selection criteria include technical feasibility of the restoration and your consent to share the story as a case study afterward. Due to the tight timeline of this project, you’ll also need to agree to a response time of around 48 hours — so we can move forward together!
Victor in the last couple episodes of Arcane is such a gender. I need that extra arm on my back 😍

yesterday night, i finally did the demo for on device in browser voice recognition
nothing super flashy yet, but i added it over the green background and in the realtime only mode, it’s great for subtitles.

The way it is complimenting the prompter throughout for their fascinating and groundbreaking theorizing is giving me a very grim pit in my stomach. Normal conspiracy theories are sticky and trap people's minds, but their cultures are actually usually highly internally critical and collaborative - it might seem ironic but in conspiracy theory forums you get intense exclusion of "the wrong version" of the theory, both as a way to maintain some vanishing sense of "external credibility" but also as a group norming and hierarchy mechanism.
I think almost everyone knows that LLMs will enthusiastically tell you the wrong information, but I hadn't seen an example of an LLM enthusiastically telling you are a genius as you slip away from reality. There is no way to set guardrails against that. There is no macro pattern and there is nothing intrinsically harmful about the content per se, the harm is how its use will alienate, isolate, and likely cause a great deal of personal crisis in this person's life - and they won't be able to tell it was chatGPT that helped them get there.

Doing my annual update of my CV and it's so hard to fit all the stuff I've worked on in the past 12 years onto just a few pages. 💀
Web Brutalism but with Global User Styles to make it all look nice again
Easing back into daily computer touching in anticipation of going back to work on Monday.
The constant threat of violence against the poor under capitalism is a great way to enable unethical behavior in those that hoard money. Why bother threatening violence yourself when you can just thrown in a rope to the drowning and threaten to cut it off if they don't dance for you. Fish in a barrelx
It seems like a good way to make a thing successful is to turn it into a borderline cult, but IMO manipulating people to do stuff for your ends is unethical.
So many crypto adjacent things act like cults. A lot of language trying to foster identity with the projecr / others as an oppositional out group. Lots of information control around what to focus on. And lastly draining vulnerable people of their funds and energy once they're sucked in.

Hey so I'm sure ya'll have seen the hubbub about it, but in case you haven't:
The Honey extension actively steals affiliate revenue from the creators that you use links from whenever you search for coupons with them.
It does this by replacing the affiliate code your creator uses with their own affiliate code.
Also the company is owned by PayPal.
This movie would have been so much better as a cartoon in general. Seeing a grown ass woman say "Sonic did nothing wrong" with no goof factor like it's real drama deals me massive cringe damage. She played her role great but the tone of the movie is all over the place
The live action sonic the hedgehog movies would be so much better without the asshole cop character. Like he's so unlikeable and so unfunny and interrupts the flow of sonic and robotnik doing their thing.

@dansup Might be relevant for loops, tiktok open sourced its recommendation algo. https://github.com/bytedance/monolith
It's pretty cool how we're in the timeline where corporations are buying nuclear reactors to feed their machine gods as humanity dives into global extinction
