Pun notwithstanding, what a fun itch to scratch! A clever single-user solution becomes it's own industry. I'd love to repeat this sort of growth myself, and find such clever solutions to real world problems.

Vendor lock-in is real.

You have reached the end of the internet. That is a paywall in front of you. What do you do?

Trump and Netanyahu are in a battle to see who lies more.

I love the official certificate! Well worth my email address!

I keep an umbrella by my back door. Problem solved.

On that note, how many acres is your property and how many miles away were you planning to build? Even my 40 ft. walk doesn't soak me in the heaviest of storms.

The first of thousands of paywalls and gatekeeping of the old, free internet into the new subscription economy. All the old wisdom locked behind a login screen.

This assumes there's no advancement in clothing manufacturing and design. Could you buy a 20 year old computer today and use it with a modern OS?

I believe the engineers and artisians who make the clothes you wear are also pushing the boundaries of fabric, patterns and cuts to feed an ever-famished audience looking for the 'next thing'.

Besides, they read the room - you no longer fit in those same sizes anymore!

Tone deaf, as usual.

I spent a day writing the Captain Crunch Decoder Ring for Unicode Spaces to hide text content from both A.I. and the casual reader by turning it into 'blank' space. I'm still unsure why.

Comment if you can think of a good use! Comment in blank spaces to require everyone decode it to discover your wit! (Whoops - can't do that, HN strips them!)

Indeed. I use mine to help me revisit languishing projects on a regular basis, and 'finish' them eventually! I can ignore anything on my calendar and work on whimsical things, but guilt eventually catches up and I acquiesce to the calendar's demands!

Hilariously, the AI detecting plug-in named 'D-Slop' ranks a few of his paragraphs as probably written by AI. Self loathing has reach artificial intelligence! Obviously, add more emdashes...
