As an English major, I have to say: there's no such thing as proper, standard English. It's always been a myth. There's no universal correct way to spell or objective grammar and mechanics. Don't try to police others about that kind of thing. brennan.day/proper-engli...

This year has been a real pain for moderation. We explicitly said no genAI, yet we still have people thinking that doesn't apply to them or that we won't notice. The most egregious ones are the ones that generate the text which explains how their game adheres to the jam's themes.

Does anyone else use atabook? I got a weird message this week trying to stir drama. I know the user and there is no controversy there, and I can't find any other reference online. Note that the core intent is to get me to remove someone's button. Weird anti-neocities drama psyop?
Message from "Maple" on atabook. "Hey, I noticed you have a button linking to [censored username].neocities.org, but she's actually a pdfile. Please remove it."

I have such a way with words sometimes. The presentation was going to be even more in-your-face originally, but amidst my anger I somehow managed to find enough restraint to not write it in giant letters.
Mevdik's Website! - AI

In the spirit of transparency I'm making this webpage to tell you how I use AI technology (LLMs, GenAI, Chatbots, etc.) in my website and my daily life. Here it goes...

No AI was used in the making of this website, in fact I think AI fucking SUCKS and I've never seen the point in using it, why would I? Everything I do is thought of with my own brain and coded, played or drawn with my own paws. Also if you need AI to generate a website for you the you are dumb as hell lmao GROW UP!

Thank you for your attention on this matter.
