This week has been amazing so far, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, passersby give you a smile and a wave as you walk past them, there isn't a single cloud in the sky, everything feels right with the world, all thanks to Adobe taking a massive L by having to abandon that $20 billion merger with Figma lmao

I totally can understand why people would want to use AI to do all the boring jobs and tasks us humans don't wanna do but I don't get why we want to outsource all the fun creative stuff to AI and machines in general

lol

I've been using an RSS reader for a few months to get news and other updates about things and honestly it's great. I don't get served clickbait or rage-bait articles now compared to when news used to be served to me by an algorithm.

Coming soon™

EXCLUSIVE: Trump’s top songs 2023 from his Spotify Wrapped

My quest to collect as many Twitter clones/alternatives as possible like they're Pokémon continues as I now have a Bluesky account and wow does the UI look insanely close to Twitter's lol.

Hey, a little self promo, so if that ain’t your thing feel free to skip 🩷

So in my Discord server ta’s hangout we have a bot called AurialiBot, it was originally by @gyrox and was a goofy bot that had a ton of random features like generating rants, posting meme images from Reddit, roasting users and other things. We then got a second version rewritten by @micahlt which was used to check if the ta’s hangout SMP was online and who was online at the time. Now the SMP is currently inactive, so we don’t have anything else to use the bot for, that’s where you might come in!

The bot’s code is available on GitHub and has around 99% uptime, since Micah is running it. If anyone has some free time and wants to code a command for the bot, then we’ll gladly add it provided it works and follows the ta’s hangout server rules! The command can be useful or just something silly, we’re just looking to make the bot more feature rich with things that people in the server and community may find interesting to them. If you have any questions or suggestions for commands, then let me know! Note that I myself am not the most technical person, so most of those questions I’ll pass onto Micah or you can ask yourself directly (when we have time lol).

Thanks in advance to anyone who considers this! I thought sharing here would be helpful since there’s a lot of programmers here who build cool wasteof bots here.

idk what they put in the water during black friday but there's a weird phenomenon where people get the sudden urge to buy a 50 inch tv that they don't need

Hope you all like the rebranding I did! Also yes, I did make a 3D render of the logo to replicate The Onion’s banner, not perfect, but I’m relatively happy with it (also here’s the logo/wordmark too).

Got the latest software update for SeanOS™, features include:

1. Improvements to the firewall against the COVID and flu viruses.

2. A small sense of achievement.

3. Bug fixes and improvements.

Known bugs:

1. Temporary discomfort due to manual installation method.

2. Heightened sense of needle phobia for a brief period during installation.

Overall the install went well, seems to be a pretty solid incremental upgrade.

just got a new router with better speeds and wi-fi 6 and noticed the ethernet cable connecting my pc to the router was frayed/dodgy looking, so i decided to change it to a better one that’s been lying around and i went from getting 90mbps to 900mbps+

so for years i’ve been getting mid internet because of a rubbish ethernet cable when the router was capable of way more
