Too expensive to run alone, sounds like.
orry that this makes it very difficult to resist the inclination to centralize everything on a couple of big instances. And that inclination absolutely must be resisted. I would love to see a fediverse full of thousands of small instances of software platforms that are as easy to manage as a PHP web forum.

The Race For the Best Stock Footage
The Race For the Best Stock Footage
So much garbage getting produced for no reason.
Morally and creatively bankrupt people might excuse these stock footage montages by saying that the public doesn’t mind them, and can’t tell what’s real and what’s not.
There’s no file to open and edit. All the work has to be done on top of the Sora output as if it was photography, or as a total replacement. Maybe they can extract and change the color from the prior version.
All our stars start with small roles, and if those small roles are synthetic, how can we have stars? Do the bozos want to market synthetic stars? Good luck.

Extremely quotable lines in this article!
Either the romance will be hot and the world-building disappointing, or the elvish quest business will be top-notch and the smooching will be tepid.
Gaslamp means there are parasols at play.
It would take an entire library of PhD theses to properly explore the layers of sexism that female fantasy readers and writers have experienced over the last fifty plus years
We have swords on our t-shirts, and we’re not afraid of protagonists who know how to kiss.

modernity is stupid: a rant not about politics
I self host and it's kind of maddening
My dentist gets on me about flossing and I want to be like, motherfucker when? I know it’s only a couple of minutes a day but do you know how few minutes we all have?? Did you know the earth is going up in flames??? And you want me to FLOSS???? And host my own read-later service????? Why is this the reality we live in?????? Butlerian jihad when???????
I have wanted to figure out my will for approximately eight years, and I know that because that is how long ago I got married and we were like “ha ha we should do that soon” and then simply never did. Because life is so complicated, my guy.
Why do I know what Maciej thinks?? Why do I know that DHH is a fucking creep and a weirdo
The modern world is unbelievably stupid, and if you don’t pay attention to the stupidity when something bad happens someone shows up in your notifications all like, well what did you expect.
