"The significance of this development is profound: If AI provides the answers to all the searches that you’re looking for, there is no need to click on the source articles that provide the answers. If you don’t click on the source articles, the publishers do not receive any ad revenue, and if the publishers do not receive ad revenue, they cannot pay their writers to provide the answers for Google’s AI to steal."
@dadakopf neat, howdy! It's a small world. I really enjoyed reading that article about cave art and I'm glad I found it through this little interaction. Thanks for making that happen.
Throwback time to cooking during the pandemic when I made my own tortillas and nopales tacos! 🌮 homemade and fresh corn tortillas are hard to beat #throwback
@mitch I think the same thing about my Playdate. Ironically, if I bought a Pocket it would only be for Nanoloop. So I'd probably never install any roms.
Looking through some old posts on my site and noticing a bunch of twitter embeds are broken. It's probably due to Twitter.com forwarding to x.com, but it's oddly inconsistent. Some old tweets still display, others don't. Even stranger, I'm unable to see some of the tweets when I'm not signed in. For example, I can see this post if I'm logged in, but it says "this post has been deleted" when I'm incognito mode. https://x.com/DocPop/status/1531128882115424257 I'd be sad if that old content isn't viewable anymore.
@cybeardjm I should do that, but it would take so much work to go through all those posts, so I only fix them as I encounter them.
I actually paid for a service that automatically searches WP sites for Twitter embeds and replaces them with screenshots.... but the day I tried using it was the same day Twitter shut down it's API. Terrible timing on my part, I wish I had tried it a day earlier.
@topher1kenobe honestly, I'm not positive I have seen the first one. They played a bunch of clips from it at the Alamo Drafthouse before Furiosa began. None of the clips looked familiar. I'm going to have to find a place to watch it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnfAa9i9LYM
I’ve been in a funk lately, but I feel like I’ve really been crushing it today with my current project. I’m celebrating with a peanut butter jelly filled donut at Dynamo while working on the last two scripts. If I keep up the pace, I’m going to reward myself by playing Braid tonight.
@luis_in_brief for a nice day like this I love the patios at Dynamo, Stable Cafe, Haus, and Senor Sisig. The parklets in front of Donaji and Sightglass (on 20th st) also get honorable mention. I'd love to hear of any I missed so I can add them to my rotation. Dynamo and Stable are tied for most scenic.
I just submitted one of the most important proposals of my career. I hope the client likes it because I'm super excited about the opportunity.
Other than that, I'm still job hunting. I've had a series of interviews over the past month with four different companies. The future is still scary, but the number of folks who have reached out in the past few weeks has me feeling optimistic.
A follow up about this post... I can't announce too much yet, but my proposal was accepted and I'm so happy. I'm producing a series of videos about something I'm extremely passionate about and I can't wait to share them with all of you!
We start filming next week and I think the first video will be ready a few weeks later.
This is a short term gig though, so I'll be back on the job hunt in July if anyone knows of anything fun. I've been producing podcasts and content in the WordPress space for the past ten years and would love to somehow stay involved with promoting open source tech and the open web. I also have a history in game design and audio production for games. It'd be fun to work on game soundtracks again too.
