Meta Launches Instagram Plus https://theonion.com/meta-launches-instagram-plus/

Getting pretty tired of trauma bonding. Would like to bond in other ways soon. Who's out there bonding?

google, I don't want an ai inbox in gmail I want the search in gmail to work better. Use ai, sure, but like us it to improve the other parts of the app that I already use. I should be able to search for the latest tasks related to something not have to have a new ai tab.

A clever pun about kinkless hose

I need better friends because I have no one to share this with: theonion.com/sweaty-ass-p...

Earthquake?

Maybe we should require that ai agents have to announce something like a call sign or disclaimer every so often like we do on the radio. Just a periodic reminder that you are interfacing with an LLM.

Anyone sending any cables these days? Seems like years ago we couldn’t stop talking about cables. Where are the cables today?

I’m pretty sure I haven’t been doing enough brand engagement. Anyone know some good brands to engage with? Who’s engaging with brands right now?

Every time someone experiences ego death my ego gets stronger. Like Highlander or “The One” staring Jet Li

Woah, I was in FastCompany and didn't even know it www.fastcompany.com/91382494/fre...

If the police ever catch whoever it is they are searching for with a police helicopter in my neighborhood at 3am can I sue that person for disrupting my sleep? Can I sue the police? Look I am going to go to court one way or the other.

I'd be more willing to donate to political campaigns if it felt like they were actually getting anything done after they win.

me; Ah, finally a product I like that fits me well. I'm so happy to have found it. company that makes it: We are now discontinuing that model forever.

I chuckle at all my own jokes because someone once told me to laugh at my haters.

Copilot is like the worst co-worker. Every time I fix an issue it finds in a a pull request it comments on three more. Like, just tell me everything up front, why are you looking for new issues every time?

Today was pretty good, time to open Bluesky and find out why that actually isn’t true.

For Sale: Babe Face, Never Shorn.

Brent Crude sounds like a tame WWE wrestler name.

Joining CashGive is easy, just sign in through your Telegram account and set up a bitcoin wallet. Then we will set you up with an ai that will give your money to people in need automatically based on a news feed we get from X.

ai is a tool like any other, but other tools don't tell me how good I am at using them. Photoshop is never like "Good idea! Using the magnetic lasso tool was definitely better than creating a mask based on channel data!"

What if Apple intentionally messed up the iOS keyboard to try and make people use ai more.

someone at apple really said "lets make the playback controls on the macos music app hard to see" and everyone else agreed apparently?

DtMF: Debí tomar mas flanes

Make a joke, commit to the bit, and never explain yourself. This strategy hasn’t won me any friends or influence, but I’m also not funny.

I am a very amateur animator but I made this five years ago and finally today added sound to it. No AI used (that I’m aware of). All animation by me. Music by Bensound License code: NGWSBCOXHLL4ZRZD Artist: : Benjamin Tissot #animation

Hey the guy climbed the thing!

While ai can be useful as a tool it is mostly boosting the noise portion of the signal to noise ratio. How much infrastructure and cost is someone like YouTube having to deal with to host millions of bad ai videos? There was always noise, but now it is too easy to make and harder to distinguish.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, passed away today from cancer. Despite what he later became, he was an enormous inspiration to me, and I think a lot of the comedic flow I do still derives from him.

I never fully understood Muppet lore until AI Overview stepped in. Thanks Google!

New California tool can stop brokers from selling your personal online data. Here's how

Several years ago at Spain JS I got up to give an impromptu lighting talk and thoroughly embarrassed myself (in my eyes anyway) and today in the shower, like 10-12 years later, I thought of a much better talk to give. So that just shows you my current mental state.

Just think of all the infrastructure, electricity, and resources spent maintaining and using the unsubscribe function of emails and texts.

Why do I always save the most questionable bite of sushi for last? So many wonderful sushi experiences ruined by that last perilous bite.

it really is like a rug pull when so many "jobs" pages on company web sites do such a good job at telling you why you'll love working there and when you finally scroll down through 100 miles of hype you just see "No current openings."

Based on the number of ads I’m getting on instagram for Threads I’d say they are trying to get a Q4 usage bump to help their KPIs

It’s just “The Doctor”!!

As someone who doesn't watch sports but does love human suffering, I'm having a great night

This may seem like a small grievance but there are too many apps that get away with sending one or two marketing push notifications to my phone even though in their own settings I have them disabled. Yes, I could disable notifications at the os level but those apps offer other good notifications.

not sure how this keeps happening but my credit card number got stolen again, hmu if you need my new number.

I am a fan of marching bands and DCI but why do they always add weird extra notes to songs when they play them? The sung version will be like Dah Dah Dah and the marching band version will be like Dah da-diddle da-da and it isn’t like they are covering for a gliss or anything

One thing about using ai or "vibe coding" is that it completely removes any sense of ownership. I don't want to strain this analogy but its sort of like hand-crafted vs mass-produced. Maybe it still works but it wasn't made with much craft or care and probably has quality issues.

Random question but thanks for caring I guess? Thanks @customink.bsky.social

Serious question, how did I end up not following any fun people on here? Or did all the fun people just start getting really depressed?

I want everyone to be able to give feedback about the app I'm working on (at work) and I do not want to forbid anyone from filing bugs but "it doesn't work" and "its buggy" just aren't helpful bug reports and so I do feel like we need some kind of class on how to properly report an issue.

We need to get official agencies and other thing of Twitter/x. There’s no way I’m making an account there and when half a news article is just embedded tweets it sort of ruins the access.

Backpack ads that explain how easy it is to “take your work with you” are missing the point of why I’m looking for a backpack in the first place

It feels like there is a pattern to what we find meme-worthy.

This is your reward for completing the puzzle on the back of a box of @lifecereal.quakeroats.com
