My friend used an AI song generator to generate a comedy country song about crabs, which was very entertaining, but the fact that this software exists makes me deeply sad because people have truly devalued the arts far beyond anything I could ever have imagined. In the same way as they are with images, people are going to use garbage AI generated music instead of paying actual musicians

@joshhunt could be the difference between a company buying a song off a website to use in an ad, the creator getting a small bit of cash, vs generating a song for free

@dgavin except when photography came along it wasn’t built on top of the stolen work of everyone who came before

What's a good/cheap host with easy/automatic https cert setup for static sites? Netlify but without the surprise charges?

@sarajw @heydon +1 to Neocities! I love everything they stand for (and they've been around for a really long time)

App Store, I have questions

I find it endlessly frustrating that Apple's Family Sharing enforces payment from one card, regardless of whether or not you're an "adult" in the plan. All of my purchases go through my husband's card (on our joint account, at least) but it means if I need to verify the payment details on a new device, I have to wait for him to be there to do it

@robb I just bought a gift card - it let me! - and then tried to buy the app again and it STILL asks me to confirm card details before I can buy it, despite the gift card being default payment method 🙃

@dsp @janl if my partner was female I'd still be pissed off at this stupid system 😂

I've moved my website over to Eleventy 🎉 I've learned a lot already and hope to customize the site even more. Hugo was great but I wanted to try something new and more customizable for my knowledge level 🤓

My first ever ride in an ambulance was the highlight of my day. The 3 hour wait on the forecourt of A&E and the 5 hour wait to be seen once inside were not.
