   I'd bet they are showing us far more ads than necessary to run the platform, and many of them are trash (crap product, abrasive ad, etc.) Not to mention the tradeoffs with privacy.

   Looks miserable. Prompt, tweak, review, test, tweak, prompt, review, test, review, tweak, prompt, etc. Fiddling with settings windows in some black box software that belongs to someone else. Programming: a powerful skillset, one of the few

    This is a direct response to thousands of Americans being fired from their jobs by Elon's actions, with thousands more threatened and likely to lose their jobs in the future. I don't think "think of the jobs" is the righ

    The Republican controlled congress is fully complicit. The CR they're voting on includes a provision that preemptively surrenders their ability to restrict Trump's tariff boondoggle. https://bsky.app/profile/f
