Are there any co-operation apps document/note apps (Notion, Craft, etc) that don’t shove ”Ai”/LLM stuff down your throat?

Really looking forward to the remake of Little Big Adventure - Twinsen’s Quest (which is a remake of LBA1 from the 90s). It was a such a quirky and charming little game!
I’m even looking more forward to the remake of it’s sequal (Little Big Adventure 2 / Twinsen’s Oddesey).
TIL there is a type foundry named Nan: www.nan.xyz
Ai generated songs in family parties is cringe. It’s the opposite of personal. I hate it so much.
Apple’s new camera control lopks pretty good. It’s actual at the core competency of them: making good user interfaces.
Wish they focused more on that and less on LLM slop.
Apple using the example pf asking ChatGPT for help if you’re stuck as a student is… 😬
The sophistication of Ai technology is making me think about the etymology of word “sophisticated”.
TIL: The FBI recommends the use of AdBlockers to protect yourself from fraud.

I walked past someone who had taped four external SSDs to the back screen of their MacBook Pro.
That’s one way to add storage when Apple doesn’t let you.
People talk a lot about how the internet makes culture feel faster and ephemeral… but I also think how culture of the laste decade is easily accessible also makes culture feel a lot more long lasting and makes it feel like time is going slower.
Or maybe I’m just getting older.
I like a lot of the ideas around digital gardening, but the the wiki tendency scares me in how serious it all seems.
The Pile at Buster Benson’s website I like though. That sounds just about the right amount of serious for me. Maybe I’ll go in that direction for my site.
I have my criticisms of it’s parent company, but I have to give props to the fact that my 15 year old Kindle still works and still has up-to-date software.
(Though it’s on/off button has become a bit flaky lately.)
Learning about Digital Gardens is throwing a wrench in the re-design of my website. It think it might be a good wrench. A lot of the web is focused streams (blogs, etc), but I’ve always appreciated websites that focus on more timeless content. Apparently that is called Digital Gardens!
If you like drum and bass I highly recommend this DJ set by Becky Saif. Absolutely brilliant stuff, great energy through-out! 🎵
If I see an ”Ai” generated image on your blog post I will click away immediately. I don’t care how well your writing is or how useful it is. I don’t care anymore and I don’t trust it anymore.
I’ve complained a lot about the state of web development. However, Astro is amazing! It does so much right and should get more credit. If you want to make a blog with features like image sets and syntax highlighting while shipping no JavaScript I’m hard pressed to think of anything better.
It’s such a tragedy how the most difficult thing about programming is rarely the programming itself but the tooling surrounding it. I’ve had two different text-editors/IDEs have show stopping problems today.
It’s don’t like rain during concerts, but feeling a gentle drizzle while Massive Attack played Teardrop was kinda beautiful!
Wonderful concert too. Really lost myself in the music.
Sometimes Apple in their attempt to have cute branding end up with really militaristic sounding names. Some years ago it was the (cancelled) AirPower, and yesterday it was Apple Intelligence.
Var på SKOKS (Skeivt kunst- og kultursenter i Oslo) på deres marked på søndag og på jubileumsfesten deres i går. Har vært på noen arrangement tidligere også. Om du er skeiv og bor i Oslo så anbefaler jeg sterkt å ta turen innom. Fint sted med fine folk! De har liste med events på nettsidene sine.
Hot take: it was totally reasonable for Apple to cut 32-bit macOS support when they did. They warned of this change a decade in advance! Just about everyone except game developers got the memo and moved to 64-bit many years in advance. It was always unreasonable to expect 32-bit to last forever.
With great bokeh comes great responsibility to stop down the aperture on the lens.
I am tired of artistically ambitious movies so often centering on something gross, disgusting and awful. It’s cheap.
Having fucked up themes does not make a movie ‘deep’.
Loving the new Dr. Who. The writing seem to be some of the best it’s been in years and the Ncuti Gawta is making the best of that material. Wonderful stuff!
A lot of my usage of tabs in browsers is because I don’t trust the back button.
The modern web is filled with so much JS stuff that doesn’t (properely) support going the back button.
15 years ago I’d go back and I would go back to the page in the specific position! Not today.
