as a Cloudflare customer, I am happy with their proposition. I personally do not want companies like Perplexity that fake their user-agent and ignore my robots.txt to trespass. and isn't this why people sign up with Cloudflare in the f

majority of Filipinos DO NOT speak like that. the Filipino actors in the demo particularly perform a caricature of a what a Filipino sounds like that's exaggerated. i know for a fact the actors don't speak like that in real life.

there was a better LinkedIn, it was called Read.cv. unfortunately, they've been bought by Perplexity (which is a shame because Read.cv is a perfect product while Perplexity is snake oil)

getting tired of these blog posts that end with "this post is AI-generated" as if it's going to surprise us. it's getting repetitive. imo, articles should be prefaced if they're ai generated or not to make the reade

there's truth to your two statements. if not the CCP, then another foreign adversary. The Guardian is notorious for being biased against Israel, along with other news organizations like the New York Times and even the BBC. The UN and o

i looked at your profile and just doing a ctrl + f on pages 1 and 2, there's 82 mentions of the word "Israel" why are you so obsessed with the State of Israel? and i thought i was a superfan of Israel do you seriously believe

THANK YOU! you articulated it perfectly the issue is not that tiktok harvests user data, not free speech, not that China is refuses to let US counterparts operate in China - the issue is, TikTok is an insidious propaganda machine that influ

I pay for 3 Workspace orgs, and I have Gemini disabled (or still not enabled) on all 3 of them. I'm angry that I'll have to pay more for features I don't use. Gemini should be an add-on cost, not included in the base cost If

why wouldn't one use sveltekit if they only have html and css? sveltekit compiles to a static site with a nice client-side router. sveltekit is basically html + css in a .svelte file if you don't use javascript.

if you don't follow anyone, like me, the timeline is dominated by journalists, furries, and people who post nudity. i'm not saying these are bad, just an observation.
