it honestly just makes me so mad that a handful of greedy assholes have stolen all the creative work of every human being and all the wonderful and weird things people did on the internet and are now using it to take our jobs and make the internet a shitty wasteland

1994: internet is ephemeral 2004: internet is forever 2014: only internet is forever. Print pubs and owning physical media are for idiots 2024: your favorite shows have been removed for tax breaks and private equity firms bought up the websites you worked for and deleted your entire life's work

We are poisoning ourselves: this, the fake 'this mushroom is safe to eat' books, the false obituaries; it makes me feel slightly detached from reality.

As always, the thing about AI isn't that it's good enough to replace humans (because it's patently not, despite what they try to tell you), it's that the people holding the purse strings believe it is good enough to save them the money they pay the humans.

This is great - the moment I installed it it was like I was finally back home. I hadn't realised how much I'd been missing Tweetdeck.

a lot of authors have started writing in the defensive crouch induced by social media, where the fear of being misread causes them to write less interestingly. this is bad and they should stop it. people will always misread, because lots of people are dumb, badly taught, or reading in bad faith

Today the Irish Examiner published my piece about the hellscape of platform manipulation and spam that is the modern web. In it, I highlighted that such actions materially benefit Twitter. Now, for the first time in 14 years, I've been suspended by Twitter. For "platform manipulation and spam".

You can see that on Upwork every day where previous translation jobs turned into editing the AI translated stuff, for a fraction of the money, needless to say.

I know that sadly some folks are being forced to learn how to be criminals for the first time so here's some advice from someone who grew up around crime: No phonecalls No paper trails No digital footprints You make your plans face to face in private locations, no exceptions

Elon Musk is an evil man who fractured a vital information resource during disasters - and the world is now scrambling to replace the dependence it developed for over a decade on a service run by a private company.

thisthisthisthis. People confusing ChatGPT with a knowledge database instead of a text generator is absolutely annoying already, but with that kind of input, things can (and honestly probably will) get a lot darker.

it's just going to be a series of studies forever that *surprise* *whoa* find out it's a great thing and it works, and everyone will say that'd be fantastic and then just kinda let it fade away until they decide to try the next test study

Shitty people have realized that the former Twitter isn't a place where they can have "fun" anymore, so they're going to where they can antagonize others. "Don't Engage, Just Block" is a good first step here. And don't wait for them to be shitty to you, block 'em when they're shitty to others.

Be kind, listen, give the benefit of doubt, but block anyone who is a dick to you or anyone you know. Pre-emptively block bigots. Try to use Alt-text when you can. Share good news. Don't take shit off fools (It only encourages them, and they're not looking to change).

Speech must be free, unless Elon Musk doesn't like what you say, in which case he'll sue the ass off you.

So: new editions of Heyer with the antisemitism removed. I'm not honestly sure how I feel about that. She *was* antisemitic and racist, and if it is going to be done, there should absolutely be an afterword saying it was done.

‘You Can’t Hide It’: Georgette Heyer and the Perils of Posthumous Revision

A new edition of the best selling romance writer’s 1950 novel removes blatant Jewish stereotypes, stirring debate about whether to tinker with older works.

ich habe Freunde mit MEINUNGEN und ich liebe es.

Screenshot einer Text Message: Le Mort d'Arthur entstand ein paar Jahrhunderte nach der klassischen Artusepik und ist sozusagen ein "Best of" und in etwa die Version, die wir heute als "die" Artussage kennen. Da fehlen aber ganze Teilstücke, z.B. der Erec. Le Mort d'Arthur ist wie die Bibel, was gut reinpasste wurde übernommen und ergänzt und was nicht passte weggelassen. Deswegen nervt es mich UNENDLICH wenn diese ganzen Möchtegern-Puristen sich über Merlin oder Artus-Verfilmungen aufregen, die sich "zu viele Freiheiten nehmen". Dude,im Mittelalter hat jedermit dem Stiff gemacht was er wollte und was DU als Arussage kennst ist ein Best Of-Album aus dem 15. Jahrhundert.

If you're watching a Taylor Swift concert movie and thinking "this lacks the panache of Nazi propaganda" then the problem is definitely not Taylor Swift

Apparently there’s an influx of far right nazi arseholes. Remember the rules. Do not engage. Do not quote post to dunk. Block early, block often. Starve them of oxygen.

The death of the Twitter community is infuriating but mostly sad. So many connections and sources of support lost thanks purely to an idiot manchild.
