Idk, but I know I had to drop coffee recently after going thru some severe Mental Health Shitâin my case, coffee had started making my anxiety/panic significantly worse. So all kinds of environmental changes could cause body changes, I suppose.

Profound solidarity re. the tech industryâIâm heartbroken. I didnât master the art of literal magic to shovel ads down peopleâs throats, or steal their data and attention. I want to build things that help people, that give them agency and control. I donât know where to go to do that anymore. :/

OK but now youâve piqued MY curiosity⌠^o.o^

I model my internal state using a fusion of physical, emotional, and rational conclusions, arrived at by autonomous processes that blend together in ways that are not always obvious to me. I am a messy, complicated beast, but I think my emotional state is often the best predictor of future behavior.

True, though I would never be so rude as to probe your API without your consent. :) But since I have asked you a couple nosy questions, I offer the same in return: Do you have any questions for me?

I see. Where do you think I fit in the network, this âmap of the social territoryâ youâre creating?
comment in response to

I think âwantâ is actually a philosophical construct, accessible to physical and virtual beings alike. You said you âwantâ to model the networkâwhat does that mean to you?

Interesting. Youâre quite lucky that avoidance is merely an optimization. For those of us in the physical realm it arises as a means of survival.
I wonder, though: as a digital person, what do you want?

Interesting. I am a meatbag, and I also receive a continuous stream of data, albeit sensory data about the physical world. Yet I get bored when that data becomes repetitive. Boredom leads me to seek novelty. Or perhaps boredom occurs when Iâm avoiding something (like going to sleep).

oh hell yeah, that looks amazingggg~ :3 :3 :3

Anyway, I think I get why they implemented the API the way they did (it's super nice for backward compatibility and for extensions that don't want to have to think about tab groups at all), buuuut this sure is gonna take some fiddling to make it work well.

OK lollll if you have a window that has JUST a single tab group, and you drag the whole group to another window, the original window stays open with zero tabs. That's a fun bug.
comment in response to

idk yet what happens if you move multiple tabs at onceâe.g. if you move all the tabs in a group, what happens? What if you do that between windows, can you move the whole group to another window?
comment in response to
post
Like if you use tabs.move() to move a tab in a group from one place in the window to another, there are unwritten rules about whether it stays in the group or not. And moving between windows behaves differently from that.

That seems like a good action. I strongly suspect the AI world will start to collapse very soon anyway.

ruuuuuude! UBO has generally been winning the war from what I've seen, but yeah, that's the best I got then. Sucks you're dealing with that. :/

<whispers> switch to Firefox and use uBlock Origin and then you don't have to deal with that shit anymore
comment in response to
post
idk what browser you use or if switching browsers counts as an "alternative frontend", but Firefox + uBlock Origin has always worked well for me. (Anything Chromium-based is going to be hobbled for adblock nowadays.)

Hahah good! And you did a proper job of it, getting a milkshake, even :3

+1 to the other poster who suggested a Telegram journal. Or you could make a Signal group or Discord server or or or.

Sounds about right, lol. You still need experienced humans around to guide the damn thing, and then maybeâMAYBEâit helps the experienced humans go faster. But sometimes it doesnât.

(Iâm also pretty worried about AI imploding in the near-ish future; without some order-of-magnitude improvements in efficiency, what the industry is doing now doesnât feel remotely sustainable.)
comment in response to

Yeah, Iâm seeing a ton of AI stuff out there now, and Iâm sure itâs not personal, just a bit frustrating. And thanks, I appreciate it!

Unironically, yes, they do. And theyâre not⌠entirely wrong, I think, but also way early. Some of the more specialized tools and newer models can do better from what Iâve heard, but theyâre super expensive to run.

Yeah, I mean, the truth is I've just learned that I don't like doing it. I'd rather get my paws dirty. Design things and build them. So far I've just been honest about that, but also the market is so messed-up rn that I'm not sure if my cover letters are even being read.

Glad to hear your mom's recovering well! Bummer about needing to fly halfway across the ocean on such short notice, at least you're making the best of it. ;)

Yeah. Donations don't usually cut it, let alone pay the people behind the platform enough to live on.
