A project I worked on for the Internet Archive is out! GifCities, a Geocities animated gif search engine, got a new version supporting semantic search and a gif collage e-card maker ^_^

all commit messages can be reduced to either "fucking around" or "found out"

@nemobis bulk link lists always welcome! we can schedule a crawl for them in 2025 <3

@nemobis hiya, the v0 API has been deprecated. We didn't get a chance to announce it as it was one of the services we moved behind the firewall after the October incident. We did not bring it back since the backend for fatcat's API needs serious work which is still ongoing.

Most important to note though is that we are making fatcat read-only as we did not have the resources to properly accept community contributions :( so even as v1 reaches parity with v0, the editing features will not return.

i had fun presenting at the force11 conference today. it was sadly not recorded but my slides are up on the archive: https://archive.org/details/ia-scholar-force-11-2024-2

ANNOUNCE!

I'm declaring my new cut-up poetry authoring tool, Trunkless, released.

It is an attempt to reproduce the feeling of re-arranging cut-up slips of paper to make poetry in a world where your table possesses effectively infinite area and you have a billion slips of paper to sift through.

The blog post explains how to use the tool as well as its background and development.

If you just want to get right to it: https://trunkless.tilde.town .

I guess the "copilot for github cli" launched. i can't bring myself to look at it but friends tell me it's as unreliable as i predicted.

this is the feature i quit over. i wasn't thrilled in general with working at GH at that point but being told i had no choice but to accept/support shoving copilot into the GitHub CLI is the actual event that pushed me out.

I gave plenty of warning that that was my line in the sand and they crossed it.
