Honestly if I knew I had to complete @pfrazee.com's "feats of strength" obstacle course upon arrival I would have skipped #atmosphereconf this year

Don't read negative reviews of a restaurant to learn anything about the restaurant, read them to learn how insane the reviewers are. Check out this full-blown existential crisis about greed, illegal child labor, and the slow death of the American dream for a review of a mom and pop SANDWICH SHOP.

Interesting variation on the "give us a link to our shitty spam site so we can improve its page rank" grift. Most of the time it's something like "Hello, I'm a teacher and my students wanted you to add this link!" but this one rolls in like Bluto from Popeye.

CF uses AI to "detect AI*", but they call it "machine learning" so people uninformed about AI will think they're not using AI to be anti-AI. Great example of why we should be calling all of this stuff Machine Learning and not AI. *This is almost certainly generating (millions of?) false positives

I see a lot of "AI blocker lists" adding Applebot, but Apple uses that for everything (ex: previews of sites), then looks at Applebot-Extended in the robots.txt to decide AI permissions. Great way to get your site blocked from a search engine if Apple is forced to run their own post Google breakup.

That is awesome lifespan for that WM. I settled on XFCE eventually. WindowMaker had some pretty cool themes too so it wasn't a complete lamerfest

TIL when you google for "Geocities" it gives you the results in Comic Sans. This is amazing, how long has it been doing this for? www.google.com/search?q=geo...
Google search results for "Geocities" except it uses comic sans for the font.

This is the current schedule of rates for having a meetup group on Meetup.com is a sight to behold. $300/year to run a small meetup group is absolutely eye popping. How many cool meetups have you not been to, not because it's post-COVID, but because nobody can afford to post a listing for them?
