No they aren't.

Didn't know yarn spinner was used to make so many cool games. Norco is a favorite from the last few years.

The anti-ai stance just makes em even cooler.

Can I have some money since you're a billionaire?

> People find me funny and when I do talk to people we have decent conversations (though small talk tends to bore me). > However that doesn’t lead anywhere and doesn’t bring me any kind of comfort or fulfillment

You have two good things going for you here:

- you're able to hold a conversation with people, even if it might not be as deep a conversation as you'd like it to be.

- you're funny and can joke around with people.

It sounds like you might have some surface level relationships and want deeper connections with people, which is totally understandable. Small talk can be boring at first, but it often opens the possibility of deeper relationships. I'd recommend low-stakes/activity based social interactions and seeing where they take you.

Some ideas:

- If you're on your way to the dining hall to get a meal, ask your dorm mates if they wanna join

- Colleges have a movie night on weekends to see a movie for free, ask class mates, dorm mates to go.

- Does your campus have like a rec/game center (think pool, air hockey, games etc). Another thing to ask people to.

You might have to suffer through a lot of rejection before you get takers. After that you might have to suffer through small talk about the weather, where someone is from, what their major is, etc before you get to the deeper connections.

haha, this is freakin epic! I asked gemini to make up some new york times articles from 10 years in the future

- president buttigieg in hot water for being in epstein files

- Interview with mayor elect Narhoz Inadmam who ran on a platform of free food

- "Is 2035 AI in a bubble?"

And as you can see it did NOT just take today's headlines and sort of tweak them slightly.

Every demo video I see now has the zoom effect that seems to have been popularized by https://screen.studio. Screen studio is $29/month.

The OP's software appears to be similar but free. There is definitely a use case for this.

> But there seems to be a recent trend of some who cry discrimination when their sub-par work is called out.

This sounds like you worked with or heard about 1 trans person who did shoddy work and now it's a "recent trend" that all trans software devs are saying it's discrimination.

React should not be regulated, it should be banned outright.

I started a new job last year (on a greenfield project) and our director of product told us we had to use React because "we won't be able to find developers if we don't use react". I love constantly shooting myself in the foot with react because vercel has good marketing.

It rocks how Vercel has spent so much time and money on marketing Next.js that my product manager tried to tell me last year that I had to use it. In his mind we wouldn't be able to build our app correctly (an SPA that barely a couple hundred people use) or find developers since everyone uses and knows Next.js.

truly hate how hard these guys have made my job by making react popular.

Sounds like someone got the memo that the bubble's about to burst.

Finally made the switch to DuckDuckGo a few months ago after they introduced a feature that lets you hide AI images. They still have AI features and summaries, but you can at least easily opt out.
