My username elsewhere is typically @jjsanderson, as here. My up-since-the-90s, never-quite-mothballed blog is at quernstone.com. At some point I’ll add links from there to… wherever. Meanwhile: feed readers are the future. Everything old is new again.

It’s the annual ‘stop the muppets from wrecking another institution that’s just fine, thanks’ effort. Takes seconds to vote for the Trust’s recommendations, or there’s loads of detailed notes if you’re so inclined.
Celia Richardson@CeliaRichards0n

Members, you have until 11.59pm tomorrow. I don’t know about you but Restore Trust hasn’t knocked anything into me yet, and I’m feeling pretty great. Vote here shorturl.at/PnrfP

I’ve moved Twitter off the home screen of my phone, and replaced it with Blue Sky. Not expecting to be as active there as I once was here, but also expecting to be largely inactive here.

@plasticmind I’ve seen it mentioned by people without memory enabled, which seems… problematic 😂

@jjsanderson Also, I’ve only seen this work with people using ChatGPT with memory enabled.

If you use AI consistently, try this prompt: “What do you know about me that I might not know about myself based on our previous interactions?” Then, ask again but give it permission to be critical.

@plasticmind Interesting. And I guess my snark has a softer edge too, in that people find value in horoscopes not so much for any predictive capacity, as for the prompt for introspection. “Do I agree with this analysis of me as a person? What might I do about that?” seems valid to me.

@jjsanderson I did think about that, considering it’s a prediction engine. Cold reading seems a better analogy. That said, I’ve had hundreds of interactions with it since they enabled memory, and the insights, though not 100% novel, were spot on and things I’ve been dealing with in therapy.

@lucasphysics I like Hugo a lot - I’m an old Movable Type hack, I see similarities - but without a web UI I can’t put it in front of my colleagues. Wordpress has always been awful; in the last decade it’s been workable; the ecosystem is awesomely brilliant. That’s why the ACF thing cuts deep.

Wordpress is dreadful early-00s architecture that’s had a stranglehold on the web by being ‘just about good enough.’ A better platform might not have left room for Facebook, Twitter, et al. I hope we all now move to that better platform. Just as soon as we work out what it is.

@leashless Well it was supposed to be the self-evident absurdity of the assertion. Which might have been funny in the late 90s, but now…

This has happened several times before, and in line with the guidelines you agreed to by being in the directory: github.com/wordpress/wpor… Best of luck with your version. We're looking forward to making ours amazing for our users, using the best GPL code available.

What is going on with all these spammy and deceitful ads which bear no relation to their host brands? This one’s an apparent outdoor clothing company, linking to a ‘motorcycle’ site styled to look like the BBC. Layers of deceit. This isn’t an advert; what are they paying for?

If you've enjoyed shopping with us in the past then we'd *really* appreciate it if you'd leave us a review on Trust Pilot. It only takes a moment and we'll love you forever! uk.trustpilot.com/evaluate/pimor…

Fair play to Islabikes for making it really easy to find an obscure spare part for a bike that's 12+ years old and on at least its fifth child. They may have 'closed', but their spares operation is still the best in the business.

@carlafrancome Ach, I think all my old cycling contacts are retired or worse, but you never know. Good luck with the project, it sounds awesome and timely. I look forward to seeing the short, and the future work too.
