@nprofile…3gx9 I’m loving the idea of botique permasoftware. I certainly have vibe coded about a dozen projects for tiny audiences so far.
I find that even on mobile, LLM-assisted software development allows me to NOT create apps, but rather leverage native phone features in the browser. I recently created a UPC bar code scanner companion web page for a bespoke music cataloging website I’m building. The shorter code path was an app. But the cleaner architecture was just another page on the web tool.

Aren’t there some scientific instruments that must be made from pre-Trinity explosion steel due to contamination?

@nprofile…klvg Are you aware that WaPo sent out this highly offensive email to everyone who just unsubscribed? The sheer arrogance required to suggest that I’m somehow less informed because I no longer automatically read the headline for the latest tripe by Marc Thiessen is mind boggling.
I probably would have resubscribed eventually, but not after this. They are broken beyond repair.

Does someone with more knowledge on this than me know what ending Section 230 would mean for the Trump administration? I assume they’ll try to silence dissent and porn, but wouldn’t this also reduce hate speech?

This is why I canceled my subscription to the #WashingtonPost. The editorial arrogance required to normalize this behavior is astounding. Stick a fork in them, they're done. I was riding out the remaining weeks in my canceled subscription, but I'm done. App delete. Bookmarks removed.

Remember, #KamalaHarris could have picked Jesus Christ as her running mate and the #GOP would call him “a Middle Eastern communist who wants to give people free food and healthcare.”
They have no moral or intellectual credibility. Nada. Zilch. Zero.

This supports my theory that we should collectively point and laugh at Trump at every opportunity. Imagine his motorcade driving to one of his hate speeches, and the roads are lined with people pointing at him and laughing.
‘Weird’ is the most effective insult Democrats have tried. Here’s why.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and others are finding new potency in calling the Republicans as they see them: not normal.

I just read that the #whitedudesforharris #twitter account was banned yesterday because they’re so successful.
If you’re still contributing your content to #ElonMusk for free, please reconsider that choice. There’s no way to fight this from inside Twitter. It’s just a slow decay to the same ugly end.

The #NYtimes and the #WashingtonPost want drama. And the reality of the last 24 hours is disappointing to no end. Look for the coverage to start quoting lesser Democrats prominently if they oppose #Harris2024.

Honestly, I was always ambivalent about replacing #Biden. It seemed like it would be a desperate move, but I also was shocked that he was unable to call #Trump out during the debate.
What is most surprising to me is how energized I feel about #Kamala #Harris. This feels like a generational passing of the torch. And a major party FINALLY looking forward to the 21st century. I'm genuinely excited for our future.
