Eh. Bean there, done that.

I mean, everyone has a type. Even Manson had a fanclub.

Still, 🤮.

Many comics have their own dedicated communities.

Personally, I think I would prefer to see this one have its own community. Which I would also subscribe to.

Conde Nast doesn’t have an interest in driving away their readers, and AI bullshit absolutely will drive them away. They know this. Ken Fisher is the editorial lead for AI at Conde Nast (not just Ars), and said as much in the comment section.

AI is absolutely fucking things up on a grand scale in all sorts of industries, but as of right now, Ars is relatively safe and I don’t think we need to inflate the scale of the danger.

Tesla, Neurolink, The Boring Company, and Twitter are for sure all somewhere between over-valued meme stocks (at best) and scammy shit-heaps (at worst).

SpaceX, however, is actually doing good and cool stuff. Not that it doesn’t have any problems, it’s still owned by a moron.

Not sure how that would work since SpaceX is a private company. Pretty sure he would have to take SpaceX public first.

He will have to sell a rocket-full of Tesla stock though.

I’m not so sure Ars has a vested interest in OpenAI. I actually read through 10 pages of comments. Ken Fisher was pretty active in them, and noted several times that Ars doesn’t see any of the money from this deal.

Boost user checking in, also currently on .world but I’ve been on several and… it’s fine. No problems.

I used to use Sync, but the sporadic updates lead to rapidly piling bugs.

I have T-Mobile and don’t have this toggle, so it’s not all accounts.

Edit: Well, ain’t that some shit. I have it in the app, but not online.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is today.

Today is always a good day to make the world a better place. Don’t add to the inertia.

Any app I’ve found that can do this requires rooting. Some ROMs include this by default.

Google does not include this setting.

Got me started on Feedly. Still haven’t left, although I’d be surprised if I still had more than a couple of the same feeds from then.

I think at some point someone paid me and I just never cashed it out. I think it was the default payment method for Google Play, so app subscriptions and whatnot just got charged against it until there was almost nothing left.

Oof. Big dumb. Thanks!

The fun part is you still can’t transfer out less than $1. I had 81¢. So I tried to transfer in 19¢ so I could transfer a whole $1 out.

Nope, can’t transfer in less than $10.

I was able to transfer in $10 so I can get my $10.81 out. But fuck, Google, if you’re the one shutting shit down, how about you let me transfer my money out regardless of how much/little there is?

If you want to have a stick up your ass…

It’s carbonation, not carbonization.

Rush Limbaugh in mom’s car, NPR in dad’s.

It was a weird dichotomy. Even as a kid, had a hard preference for NPR. I do feel like they’ve lost something in the last 6-8 years or so.
