I made davidpumpkins.com. I thought the skit on SNL was funny. #davidpumpkins #snl -- "I'm David Pumpkins! Any questions??"

Got scammed by @viagogo. I purchased parking for games on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday right by the stadium and they delivered 1 of them 1.2 miles away and another 0.8 miles away. Never purchase parking from Viagogo/StubHub (same company).

Chose lots on the map next to the stadium; they delivered tickets to lots very far away, not the same lots. @viagogo is claiming that because it said "longer than 15-min walk" within the ticket details, that's fine. They're different lots. I don't know how fast they think I walk.

Beginning July 20, Claude Fable 5 will be included in all Max and Team Premium plans, at 50% of limits. Pro and Team Standard users will continue to have access to Fable via usage credits, and will receive a one-time $100 credit. Demand for Fable has been challenging to predict, which is why we rolled it out to subscription plans in stages, extending access several times as we secured additional capacity.

Also ending before July 20, the Claude Code 50% weekly limits promotion, which is not mentioned here. Max plans will keep the same 50% Fable limit but lose a third of their actual weekly Fable usage in Claude Code.

@argofowlJul 18
even though fable is staying in the subscriptions the 50% claude code weekly limit boost ends after july 19, bringing us back down to the standard limits with fable capped at 50% of those lower limits, even 2 max 20x accounts will feel extremely limiting i completely forgot this boost was temporary and honestly this is so disappointing they should have raised the fable cap to 75% when the boost ends, which would have kept our actual fable allowance unchanged

.@madskristensen Your Markdown editor/previewer extension doesn't play well with VS 2026 Insiders and Copilot. I was trying to figure out why I couldn't view the Markdown preview in 2026 until I selected keep on the changes. I figured out I had your extension and removed. Works now.

This is when models like Sonnet/Opus create plans or summaries in Markdown. The content in the preview is blank until I selected keep. I think I installed a bundle or accidentally installed the MD one, but I'm aware 2026 has built-in functionality. Maybe no-op it in 2026?

Is there any chance of fixing this @shanselman and restoring Paste as Plain Text?
Ben Golus⚠️⭕@bgolus23 May 2024
Ooo! Update to PowerToys! *reads update notes* "New utility: Advanced Paste, an AI powered tool..." Well, at least I can just not use it... "Paste as Plain Text was removed as a separate utility, since its functionality is now part of the Advanced Paste utility." Nope. Im out
