It’s not that I’m morally opposed to gambling. It’s just that I already get out of bed every day and frankly that’s pushing my luck a bit already.

Once again tempted to merge my “wiki” and “tumblelog” ideas and just point a domain at a TiddlyHost site.

Booted into Windows and got the Copilot taskbar icon so sure I’ll bite and it’s like asking someone to look something up online and summarize it for you.

Feels like it takes about the same amount of time, but I know that’s just comparing it to me looking the thing up online myself.

I could see some mostly neurotypical type folks finding Windows Copilot a pleasant experience.

which for me yeah i am looking to see if i can remove it

LLM site churning leading to search engines and chatbots restricting to trusted sources leading to paid spots for trusted sources leading to “the Web” being mostly advertising for most people and product placement in chatbot research answers and nothing else leading to finally some peace and quiet for my blog

Gen-X wrote the cultural foundations that the modern Web is built on.

No wonder we’re so eager to be forgotten.

We are both Rage Against The Machine and Paul Ryan wondering when RATM went all woke.

That’s what we get for for eating so much paste in pre-school.

WTF happened that day? What terrible memory have I been suppressing — oh wait that’s a still from a David Bowie video over a pic of Loud Dog.

Getting requests for fiction brainstorming assistance from @IamMrsGeek and most of my suggestions come from the realm of TTRPG worldbuilding but hopefully they’re helping.

ok now put a 200 point ogre at this pass
