it is an especially dystopian society that designs bots that can automate things but instead of turning society into a thing where we can just live and do things we enjoy, it's doing the things we enjoy

Today on Nova Prime, I take a look at someone so desperate to be an author, so much so that he's crying on a paywalled article about being sued for using AI to publish garbage.
Read my message to Tim Boucher that he'll definitely scrape from his Google Alerts

There's a lot of weirdness in the Minecraft movie trailer. Part of it is, yeah, this is probably mostly directed at kids ... even though Minecraft came out when I was still in my 20s (39 now lol)
But some people are saying Jack Black in the role of Steve makes no sense, because he doesn't "look" like Steve
My rebuttal to that is: Steve, in actual Minecraft, has very little facial features, and ... I kind of felt it was obvious that Jack Black is playing a version of Steve that is decades into the future (if this is wrong then I don't understand this movie at all)

Okay, so I saw this weirdo rimugu@rcsocial.net on the timeline, and noticed he's on the instance https://rcsocial.net

reading through blogs in the webrings that i'm part of, found this one where this guy excitedly posts about ordering one of the new macbook pros in like 2020
and then he _never posted again_
what did the macbook pro do to him

okay, it looks like I can have Mastodon comment sections on my website in a pretty simple manner, just gotta figure out how to configure it

2024-08-18 18:28:45

setting github as the way to comment on my website posts has really helped to weed out potential spam, but i wonder if many, or any people will think to use it (i'm not sure if people signing up on github is a regular thing lol)

2024-08-18 18:25:45

does anyone have an app that just gives random daily writing prompts? I was using jetpack on wordpress to get daily prompts as something to write about, but i'm not giving jetpack my space, or words anymore (they're injecting AI into everything)

@npub1gvv…xv9f aha! if i set min and max height, the button stays the minimum height, and then the menu uses the maximum height
for some reason
but it works!

@npub1gvv…xv9f this sort of works, but it changes the height of the button while it's closed to the same size it'd be when it's open, hmmm 🤔

there we go, now my website has full archives of everything i've posted, including the huge gap between 2017 and now

2024-08-18 14:23:55

- reply

but what this does, outside of having tags at the end of the post, is it effectively creates a site archive that's even easier to navigate than the search function

2024-08-18 14:23:29

- reply

the only downside of this is i have to create a new file for every tag i use, but i don't feel like having a script do that for me, and eventually i'll probably have all the tags i use already created

2024-08-18 14:20:51

so far I've found no reason to switch away from jekyll's minima theme, since I can basically take control of every single element and change the site completely

I'm gonna be honest with you chief, (cohost staff), the only way to stop people from doing the second thing on here that you don't want them to do is to completely ban the first thing without exception, with extreme prejudice
but don't take it from someone who runs a mastodon instance where ai generated slop is few and far between, especially up to and including fake propaganda
