I've used soulseek pretty recently! There's a nice client called nicotine, IIRC. There are message bots that spam you with racist abuse if you're sharing nothing (i.e. not even your downloads), but that's about it.

A lot of the comments focus on the platform, which is certainly relevant but only part of the picture. There is a huge industry around political communications, which for some time now has been intensely focused on social media. You throw e

I just this week bought a book I first read from AA. Though I got it from a second hand bookshop, so I guess that was unethical, lol.

Magic is best played in a shared house. We all pretty much stopped buying cards when we went our separate ways. We do occasionally get a draft box in and have a night of it when we get the chance. Pairs particularly well with cannabis and a

Totally related to AI. You're gonna be able to spot slop whilst browsing. Local bookshops are great, use them or lose them.

Yeah, the AI sears my eyes. Wish they'd bothered to do it properly.

You ever been in a war zone, son? You ever see what happens after? I assure you there's no ignorance in my comments.

Entire villages no longer exist. These are people's homes. The rocket attacks come because Israel periodically invades, as it is now. It has murdered UN peacekeepers, journalists, medics, aid workers, and so many civilians. And this is

Israel are stealing land, ethnically cleansing and flattening villages. Hezbollah, whatever you may think of them, are the main security actor in the South. Why should they not defend their civilian population?

There is a big leap between not resisting and using weapons that are widely agreed to be abhorrent. You're framing a false binary choice here: either deploy weapons that the majority of countries have deemed unconscionable, or lose you

As someone who's worked in numerous war zones, and has had to deal with the real world consequences of UXO, I firmly disagree. Biological and chemical weapons could help you win, nuclear weapons could help you win. We don't use th

Yeah, I left Facebook a decade back. Zero issues keeping in touch with folks that mattered. On the rare occasion I need to find someone I lost for something, it's been trivial.

I used to work at a VUE, my flatmate was a manager. I always complained about the awful, awful films we showed with no one watching them. Surely it'd be better to show some classics that would sell? Apparently the deal back then was th

Yeah, OR gives a bunch of providers, including Deepseek, which does train. I set ZDR to true, and it only calls from the third party ZDR Deepseek APIs. Bit more expensive, but my client wants it.

I could barely use VB, but as a ~14 year old, I made a dialogue box that announced the computer had been hacked, stuck it in the start-up, and pranked my Mum on April 1st.

I don't think the banner is painful, it just needs to be balanced by other graphical elements. It can offset by liberal use of <blink> throughout the text, or by a few tasteful gifs.

Yeah, totally. The recent pricing changes have just made my Copilot subscription go from great deal to awful value over night. I've been wanting to get off MS more generally and this is good motivation. Will be playing round with OR th

The reasons are very clear: Bibi owns Trump, Israel will unlikely have a US president as supportive again, they want as many facts on the ground as they can get whilst they have him.

Great. I, a small consultancy, have just spent the last month working out a workload that uses Opus 4.6 via VS Code to prep horrible, inconsistent, survey data for upload to a proprietary platform. Worked a treat with some light babysitting

I can really recommend Breath: the New Science of a Lost Art, by James Nestor. One of those rare books that had a noticeable, positive impact on my life.
