It's both saddening and maddening to see @photomatt acting in ways that destroys @WordPress's ecosystem and will inevitably lead to its downfall, by taking users hostages following a disagreement with a hosting company.
I grew up blogging with b2, @b2evolution, @dotclear then @WordPress. To me it also feels like the beginning of the end of an era.
Regarding ads, for me
- there's simply too many here as I scroll
- they're not labeled clearly enough so I can ignore them visually
- it's mostly garbage anyway.
Therefore I naturally stopped using Twitter for a few years now, without even realizing it.
That's too bad.
I'm not exactly enthusiastic posting things on Twitter anymore, but this hilarious video is relevant in the context of X suing advertisers.

Unless your business depends on it (and it probably doesn't) who would choose to go through this 😅
Wow. I'm chatting with Llama3:70b-Instruct-Q5_1 in @ollama to get a sense of how it is and I'm fairly impressed by its conversational abilities as-is.
I find it engaging, curious, even a little bit intense - but fairly good at emotional validation.
It might be less subtle and emotionally intelligent as @inflectionAI Pi.ai but I feel quite a bit better than ChatGPT.
Fascinating release. A positive impression so far.
I feel like there'll be a before and after @OpenAI Sora video generation

Even when the model fails with physics, the output is fascinating to watch 😆
Faces and eyes can still be in the uncanny valley, but everything else is absolutely incredible.
Twitter's rebranding to 𝕏:
Alright, it's time to bump up the priority of migrating to a self-hosted @joinmastodon for me...
MusicGen is already a lot more awesome than I expected AI music generation to be altogether! Wow.

Dear @fitbit @FitbitSupport
I just made the mistake of opening your Android app after reading an ebook in the dark, to check how much sleep I had last night and figure out when to go to bed.
The UI was so white! My eyes didn't like it much.
What about a dark mode? It's time.
Dear @GoPro I'd like to kindly ask you to stop continuously spamming my notifications, without a way to disable it without interfering with app usage (general category)
Wow an actual 15.3M subscribers @YouTubeCreators channel got hacked and currently used for the typical crypto currency scam.

It looks like it's @linusgsebastian @LinusTech 🤯
- it shows in my subscriptions as well
Hours later, still ongoing on other @linusgsebastian channels like @TechLinkedYT and Techquickie
The full post mortem will be worth a read/watch.
