I love all you guys 😙.

AI produces proof of work
As people started to ask for proof of work videos from artists, it was matter of time that AI started to produce a proof of work videos about the art.
Clearly.
It rarely happens, hereby, I forgive myself. Feels good.

Just went to the gas station with a bike to buy 2 beer and I forgot my bike lock. So I thought surely I can just quickly put it inside, buy the 2 beer which will literally take at most 30 seconds and then get out
Turns out the fucking witch at the register just doesn't have it. Doesn't matter...
Dunno... can't properly weigh in on the issue until I see the layout of the store && the proposed location of the said bike for those ~~ 30 sec it would've taken to purchase the beverage.
Mind sharing a *.cad?

Yeah... the gall of her. Direct her to the whatever podcast so she can learn that starting an 'OF' will result in tons of money for her.

Mailchimp was valuated 12B in 2021 wherefrom 5.9B in cash.
Something cool about their marketing was that you could manage maillist until 2.000 people for free and it included a mailchimp footer. So basically free marketing and a mail sending service is of course not that expensive to...
In 50 years or so they are all supposed to be all dead (of course not). Boehoehoe mah ecosystem 😭 Blablabla 😭... Stfu, it's getting an upgrade. Raise your hands for the extinsion of mosquitoes.
I met some of the Mailchimp devs years ago at DefCon in Vegus (I think it was Defcon 2016?). I probably still have their stickers somewhere. They own a massive amount of subnets due to spam/noisy neighbor problems, just for their SMTP relays.
They have censored people in the past though. I currently just self-host ListMonk. I have a very small mailing list though. I doubt most of my readers even get the e-mail due to spam blocks.

Hi guys finally on here :D
And just in time for my first rant

Weird hobby I discovered
@retoor please bring these people here somehow. I'm having so much fun 😂

Fuck... we've lost Dr. Grant / Dr. Weir. /* Sam Neill. */
Sad news. Just learned Sam Neill died. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000554/ && https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Neill .
Which movies w/ him have you seen?

Oh him. Wat sad that he lost his life due an anal probe. Did not expect it to be true but I fact checked it.
I've enjoyed his performances in those movies mentioned above. He was in 'The Final Conflict' a.k.a. 'The Omen 3', as well.

Looking for work again
My position is made redudant :(
My friend, who is a dev for almost twenty years, has to listen to advise from a vibe coder with no development experience. I would rage quit I think 😂.
Just like the javascript apocalypse, I hover above it, like a wide owl and just watch it unfold. And when the market is normal again, I turn back into my office chair someday.

If the meta glasses were not made for perverts (they really are) why isn't the camera itself not a complete obvious yellow circle or smth? Those things are stealth with a purpose. Oh yeah, they have some light (that you can disable) but it's not like you would notice that on day time.
They know,...

So, this woman gets stopped over by police and she has a raccoon in her car. OK, strange. Then, the raccoon shows a meth pipe and tries to smoke it in front of the police. "The raccoon gave you away madam". "No, he didn't".
Would your raccoon do that?

Imagine, you're a raccoon. Smoking some meth with a few grannies and then people try to get you in a cage ☹️ Free raccoon now!
City... Raccoon City... 'Resident Evil 2' && others...

Bad luck for the meth smokers.

Artstation is expensive garbage
So I have to spend 700$ / month to be able to post an add to hire an artist? @retoor, we might need to accommodate devplace for real artists too. 😅
Artplace.net
What's the price of a single posting?
I think unlimited but you have no idea if they actually have people. I can make this site as well without actually people to hire.
fun
That's concentration, just don't get distracted. Go for your target.
Damn. Scammers lurking everywhere.

Justice, what an amazing idea: https://developers.cloudflare.com/ai-crawl-control/features/pay-per-crawl/what-is-pay-per-crawl/.
But still, that is a crawl, it will never be comparable to all the visits that you'll lose by a crawl.
Sounds like a step in the right direction to make things better... but !true justice.
Yeah, I was pretty enthusiast straight from the bat.. But few minutes later, I start to think about it and was like hmm, wait a sec.
Sounds a bit like that, by now, obsolete setting in web browsers 'Tell sites to !track'.

Dante is Badass!
I was playing with 3d rendering.
How much such thingies cost?
Less than API's XD

Happiness
I thought, I just gonna share what makes me happy.
'Snow White (2025)' is a shit movie. You would've loved the hedgehog cameos, though. Here, saved you some time as these are pretty much the only good parts of the movie.

What are the opinions on titan?
I was scrolling through my images and found this...
Made me wonder if the people are genuinely retarded? With a controller like this I wouldn't risk a boss fight in Elden Ring.
The guy casually decided to use it to control an experimental sub to visit Titanic.
A while ago we even automated feature development directly without even reviewing the tickets. Now even snek is almost unaffordable. What the fuck is going on.
Providers finally upped the prices for their services, given their previous business model was !sustainable?
Yeah, and I even have some more theories to that. It's and and and. We analyze full time data from different sources and there is more and more data. All AI generated and that goes trough our AI. So AI processing AI that processes AI... Yeah..

Learn from the mistakes of others: When your game uses a server or relies on backend services... be sure to properly secure them.
...or you'll get hacked && people will lose their data or suffer some other terrible injustice. 'Secret Neighbor' learned that one the hard way.
Source: https://www.trueachievements.com/news/secret-neighbor-offline-hacked .
Ah, right. Backend services got hacked. Fixed the title. Well either way, if the thing relies on online stuff... better secure it, properly is the lesson.
We have here a plain simple role system and no bells and wistles. Small attack surface, easy to maintain. We do not do complex security :)
Yes. I'm sort of laughing at those guys from the article. Also... yeah people should learn from their mistake.

Professional development going on.
It still did execute without asking :( He thought he was a nice claudii i guess :(. But fixed! Its shown somewhere now :D

Hmm, First time experiment with AI videos
Everything is a placeholder, if I find a decent artist then everything will be either comisioned or will do myself, BUT so far the person wo was working on the maps "Lost the motivation" after delivering 1 map and ingoring me for 3 weeks...
rant
Really wtf, there is a notification that I have from 14d old and got mentioned five times by now, but there's another one, very related. Like wtf. I also clicked multiple times to get the comment away. Sometimes I click cause of curiosity, like, it can't be the same one right? Maybe same title? And...
rant
Why we couldn't make something like this 😓
Oh yeah, what was the company name that sold Indians as AI 😁. There is a nice YouTube documentary about it. They were huge.
Yes. I was hinting at that story. Google suggests it was 'Builder.ai'.

I just have won the champion badge. That's the hardest badge to earn on devplace.
Indeed, It looked like that to me, as well. I think Alice is missing.
I think it was Alice and we were reacting on her.
fun
I would smash the green button a million times. A ten year old should not have so much trauma.
With 2 million euro I would hire devplace users. Probably Indian and thus half of India. Kwantiteit over kwaliteit.
On the other hand, it could hurt the platform.
Hmm.

I've sent @blindxfish a YouTube short in private messages. Now I get a notification when he watched it. They do not only track your relationships outside of your ecosystem, we can even track eachother.
Also terrible, these days when you are on a site on android and you copy the url, it doesn't...
One of the many reasons why I hate youtube.
It‘s so easy to do the right thing and yet they choose the obviously wrong thing.
It‘s deliberate enshittification.
Damn js frameworks stealing our common words!
I know... Just look at that
