@binarydigit 2007 is when I joined… I think I finally deactivated my account there in 2023.

I made a lot of friends there.

@binarydigit The team games are amazing... LOADS of fun!

@binarydigit I think all of us could add more veggies to our diets... me included lol.

@binarydigit Small Grain Rice is lovely! I enjoy and serving it with Purple Sprouting Broccoli and Peanut Satay Sauce. It's my fave meal.

@binarydigit Happy Birthday! 🍰

@binarydigit Thanks!

Sorry that I’ve been quieter on here than usual this week. It’s been half term and I’ve been trying to engage in some self care and family time 😊

@binarydigit I would imagine something longer and more descriptive for jobs would be better.

I was thinking more for going to a shop, and sharing it with being asked “would you like the receipt sent to your email” lol

@binarydigit I can understand the value of it for sharing purposes, especially if the domain itself is short too.

Can you do something with an omg.lol address?

Maybe it's time for the internet to fork… One for AI, and the rest of the capitalistic crap that the majority of people didn't ask for, and another for actual humans.

@aral I've not tried it yet, but it is on my radar! I may have a opportunity to try that soon actually. @Cloud68 @robb @penpot

@robb It's being forced into everything now, and very few people who uses these products asked for it!

I'm hearing things all the time about companies looking into ways to leverage AI in their products. It’s grim.

@Cloud68 It's difficult to migrate to another service/app when everything either has AI in it, or soon will be @robb

@robb Sadly, money doesn't slow down the AI invasion.

Abode CC is a not-all-that-cheap paid product and that now has Generative AI features baked in. I wish I could opt out of it!

@Cloud68 Well, the problem for me for example, is that Adobe CC, a product that I need for work, now has generative AI baked into it. I would love to opt out, or switch to another product, but I can't... I rely on the apps too much for that. Also, if there were an alternative, there's nothing stopping that from doing the same, and adding AI into their suite of tools. @robb

@Cloud68 Agreed, and for small teams, I imagine the migration would be relatively painless... Larger companies might be a different story however. As you say though, we have to start with the low hanging fruit. @robb

@binarydigit Haha

Seriously, if you are as tired of AI as I am, then grab my little badges for your site. They are in the usual flavour of 88x31px PNG, and also SVG so you can scale the blurriness away.

They are FREE... however, I am grateful for any size of donation if you are able.

I've got more “No AI!" stuff coming soon to my shop asap that you can 'stick' all over the place https://ko-fi.com/s/4662b19f61

@liztai That's deeply inappropriate behaviour from a celeb. I'm sure they wouldn't like it if they were being stalked!

So, who's up for some custom vinyl decals? Great for cars, water bottles, laptops, your new iPad 😉

Practicing with multiple color registration right now, but mono is definitely good to go!
