    Trying to get my Podcast listening off of Spotify because I just hate their player and UX lately. Also, no ability to add feeds by RSS link.

    My daily drivers I spend most of my time on are my iPhone and Macbook Pro. After that, maybe I would listen on my iPad, or my PC that is running both Linux and Windows.

    Anyone interested in posting their lenses? Always interested in what people are cooking up. Bonus points for pirates.

    Never heard of Bear Blog, but really needed something for a professional website right now. I plan to build a static website of my own (and I am going to use 11ty for it) but this can be a good intermediary while I am a bit swamped with life and work right now.

    Thanks for this link.

    Kagi allows you to filter out AI images in search results. It also downranks them by default.

    Guess then this depends on how we define giving something back. I have received a ton of value from services such as ChatGPT already, which I feel would qualify.

    Would I prefer all of these tools to be open source? Probably. Those do still exist though and I fear that people acting out against tools held by corporate interests are still going to hurt smaller and open source models as well.

    I've continuously been confused or at a loss reading arguments against allowing AI to train on publicly available data. Recently on BlueSky, I've noticed people protesting once again simply because they dislike the concept. While I empathize with those concerned about AI-related job displacement (which I believe is inevitable), I think that publicly available information should be fair game for AI training. Hell, I barely give a shit about the copyright infringement that could be happening if I am completely honest.

    My perspective is admittedly influenced by growing up with the 'Hacker Ethic' of the early internet, but it's been fascinating to witness AI's capabilities from all the data it has been trained on. Despite the protesting I think that these AI tools have been a positive force overall.

    I can't tell what people want. Do they want laws restricting access? Do they want everything to be a walled garden? I think that would just destroy the internet, and also restricting access to training data could have serious unintended consequences. It would likely consolidate AI development among well-funded corporations, effectively shutting out smaller developers and open-source initiatives. What do people actually want?

    I heard there was a lot of really overactive admins on Space Station 14, as well as a very easy banhammer. Has this gotten better? My love for Space Station 13 came from just how wild west it was.

    I never grew up with a PS1 as a kid, but my friends did. While I had some exposure to some games such as Metal Gear Solid I realized I never played the original Spyro and Crash trilogies. With this in mind I have decided to play Crash 1, Spyro 1, and Super Mario 64 back to back.

    Holy shit Crash and Spyro are incredibly tight games and I was missing out. Playing Super Mario 64 after those two feels like a boring chore compared to the tighter contained level design in Crash and Spyro. I think all three games/series have their merits but I can't believe I missed out on it for so long.

    I bought Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner on sale as well and plan to play through that soon. Intro seemed cool as hell though.

    Japan is a beautiful country and this is the second area that Japan has blocked off to foreigners now. Absolutely infuriates me that idiots are going and making a mess of things by being absolute twits.

    I've always considered myself a rather clean and tidy person (and get comments from others to that effect), but realized I was never formally taught on best practices for cleaning. There are probably things I tend to overlook, things that may not be visible (best practices for cleaning pipes for example). There is likely a lot of "traditional" knowledge on cleaning I don't know.

    I am curious if anyone here has some sort of "ultimate guide for spring cleaning" around the house to get everything to a nice deep clean, and some sort of routine on what someone should do every week/month/whatever in order to upkeep this cleanliness over the course of the year.

    Not looking for some extreme clean freaks guide but I am genuinely curious as to what I may have missed and overlook as I was never really "taught" how to clean.

    Fair enough, and that's my bad if it came across that way. I think I got so tired of people in certain corners of the internet evangelizing about it so much that now I just got left with a bad taste.

    If it meets your use case, it's all good. I just found nothing I was particularly interested in there.
