I just dump everything into a bunch of .md files and open the folder on sublime text. Of course, I deal mostly in text content. The search is pretty good, so it works for me. As you can see, I'm not a sofisticated person.

No it cannot be. The whole Elon shtick was "fighting botspam". Of course they also said "make it lucrative", which is kinda at odds with the botspam-fighting claim... And now the blue ticks are getting paid to spout pola

A _lot_ worse. I follow actual people not corpos, and the algorithmic feed is mostly unusable. The mobile app is even worse. An ad every 4 tweets. "Please upload your phone contact list". The latest change to DMs is getting me to

Isn't it wonderful how we can just chain tech-mumbojumbo and it mostly sticks? Like if you posted about "Watermelonjs: a Mersenne-backed crypto-funded AI metaframework kitchen sink mocker template written in Umlaut" I'd

You know, I was ready to disagree but then it dawned on me that i don't use any of the pack-in software that comes with gnome (the desktop). My workflow largely depends on other tools (which might use gnome libs truth be told), but i c

I think it is a combination of issues (from most unlikely to most likely): - They might've not been prepared for the growth; - They were prepared, but decided to focus on the 95% of "regular people with easy questions" that t

It's just like the goddamn metaverse. Since it is strongly tied into crypto shenanigans, now that we're in a crypto slump the discussions have (mercifully) slowed down. AI is still in its current hype cycle, and it will take some

Brazilian here. I sincerely hope so, it is so tiresome to wade through all the bullshit discourse about it. For instance, the fake outrage about "persecution of christians" (when the opposite is far, _far_ more prevalent). Google

I think they'll google-news the name "Bard" due to bad reception caused by unrealistic expectations (and a market primed by vastly superior alternatives).
