Can anyone suggest a good webhosting service? I've been using Bluehost for a long time, but their prices just keep going up on hosting and domain renewal. Tired of seeing them advertise lower rates for new customers and screwing over the old.

Saw some guy asking (paraphrase): For the anti-AI crowd, what would you do if it disappeared today? Would you be able to manage without it? Hell, yes. Because I already DON'T USE IT! Weird attempt at "Gotcha!" Don't know any anti-AI types who are using GenAI unless it is somehow forced on them.

OK, so technically I didn't vote today, but I dropped my ballot in the dropbox a couple days ago. (And got a confirmation email!) If you're in the US & there are primaries happening in your state, make sure to vote!

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books

If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

Methinks the appropriate target to blame for the deaths of over a million Americans is not Dr. Fauci.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.

Fauci accuses Rand Paul of having an "unhinged obsession with calling for my prosecution" and of making "repeated slanderous comments," then says "although it pains me to do so... under advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment to refrain from answering your questions."

Reminder that on his last day of his first term, Trump awarded a commendation to Dr Fauci "in recognition of his exceptional effort on Operation Warp Speed"

I have to admit, I see red every time I read someone casually posting about doing anything with GenAI or asking ChatGPT for information. Already tired of the "It's inevitable, so I'll go ahead and use this plagiarism engine that damages the environment. I'm sure it's fine." mentality.
