This useful but has a big "written by claude" feel to it.

Yup. Phrases like "The Trap", "The Reality", "The Token Counter", "Batch Billing Lag", "The Loophole" all indicate markdown style thought processes that divide up the meat and potatoes of the idea into H1/H2 sections; also quoting words that people wouldn't normally quote ("stitching" together a codebase) is another telltale.

what exactly does this mean? claude was sitting next to them watching them then wrote up the report? they put in lots of personal details and experience in the story, it's obviously not written by claude and it's very rude to accuse someone without evidence.

If you can't see that this post was obviously "enhanced" with AI then I don't know what to tell you. They had a small anecdote about their experience and then asked AI to flesh it out into a multi paragraph post.

I mean, the cute section titles are a dead giveaway.

Nice. It would be good if winetricks could install the ReactOS userland, explorer.exe and friends barely exist in upstream wine.

There were some great efforts to build these out in ReactOS a few years ago.

Its actionable by doing things for yourself, not for the purpose of meeting people.

When I say doing things, I mean things out in the world.

During those you might chat to people casually.

People like people that do things and turn up, so many people do little and aren't interested in going out and turning up to things.

Do stuff and you become more interesting.

Mostly people talk about themselves so ask them what they do and be interested, when they ask you what you do you will have done a bunch of stuff.

Get out there and enrich yourself with experience, make yourself too busy to be lonely.

The chance of rank and file employees getting anything has always been small now its smaller.

There's a github project which converts them to markdown which works fairly well too.

The right to life (not to be shot) never seems as important as the right to take a life with US gun folk, it seems mad from the outside.

I'm on the "outside" of this argument - never owned a gun yet and not in the US, but the right to life (not to be shot) can be exercised by protecting oneself from guns, with a gun.

Here we're discussing how attacks against privacy are totalitarian and how more and more governments are on their way to become totalitarian regimes, but we don't agree that people having guns is a good defense against a totalitarian government. We talk about police or ICE overreach, but don't talk about what would happen if that overreach expands even more.

The (foreign billionaire owned) right wing press of the UK also love to "attack Britain".

British government using 1984 as a guidebook is playing into that quite well, though

Hubris, greed, corruption and contempt for four.

I've long been integrating terminals with GUIs and wanting more of this sort of stuff.

Reading the article I felt like the "sickos: yes!" meme.

Maybe we should pretend escooter is a spanish word.
