This type of shit is why I refuse to give up my pi-hole, uBlock, and Firefox.
No amount of engineering can solve the problem that no matter how much you jiggle, you shake, or you dance, the very last drop always falls in your pants.
Go ahead, keep taking my money, Kagi.
On Mac, you can use
https://wairy.app (full disclosure, I made this) to check what you have given AI perms to do on your computer (knowingly or not), then revoke them.
It isn't my site. Mine is older :-D
Well, it's a free game, and open source...
I acknowledge the irony though.
Thanks for the feedback! If you hold the volume button it opens up sliders to adjust the music/ambient noise levels. I should make this more obvious, probably.
Thanks...I will work on optimizing that. There's also a Mac version you can download, but that wouldn't work in your case.
As someone else said, the lobby is the lobby - eventually the Assembly starts to meet there once you make enough progress, but that is about it.
Not yet. There are fires, and a trained safety team (something you have to get funded and maintain) puts them out. SimTower didn't have crime either, so I didn't consider building that out.

I've been rebuilding old games with Claude. While creating a modern take on SimTower and having election news on TV in the background, I had the idea to build the economy of the game around democratic socialism instead of capitalism.Instead of a real estate tycoon, you are an elected steward of the building, held responsible by the Assembly. Homes are allocated off a waitlist, dues are set on a...
Good! As a vinyl collector, the price has gotten way too high. Let this help drive it down.
Isn't the phrase "tilting at windmills?"
It comes from Don Quixote, as I recall, and suggests a fruitless effort. A waste of time.
If you do use tennis balls, stand in front of your couch so they land there and don't roll away.
Fuck...there are already too many things called Prism.
I have always enjoyed bringing in the "you know, the bible could be read very differently if you consider God to be an alien" to certain philosophical conversations I've had with people over the years, ever since reading von Daniken's work.
As you allude to, there are always other explanations.
You do not need an extra tool to download your photos. This one runs from the command line, though.
The only evidence I can find is with Spotify doing this.
Spotify pays me about $0.003 per stream. That's pretty typical for every artist on the site.
I'm not a marketer (anymore), but as an end user, I feel that Google has shot themselves in the foot with the horrendous search experience they provide these days. This notion and topic of discussion is becoming more commonplace online.
"Google results are just AI and sponsored content anymore." We've all seen it.
Yeah, I used to have a habit of buying a blank cassette with two vinyl albums each weekend after I got paid so I could listen to said albums in my car. I'd still rock the records at home though.
16 year olds rule the world.
Vinyl resurging, I can understand. But cassette tapes were always so fragile. I can't count how many got twisted up in the player and lost forever.
Their only redeeming quality was the mix tape.
You go to a testing center, not a therapist, to get a diagnosis. The online tests don't count. A thorough test will take a half-day or more, with tests ranging from conversations to Q&A to visual to a battery of multiple choice questions.
I started following your blog when you were like, 14. Cool to see you here. I've kept up my blog for 25 years, and you were an inspiration along the way.
> OpenAI is tracking toward achieving an intern-level research assistant by September 2026 and a fully automated “legitimate AI researcher” by 2028, CEO Sam Altman said during a livestream Tuesday.
How do you measure the difference between intern-level and "legitimate" level researchers, and why aren't interns legitimate? This sounds kinda made up to me.
Then you are losing out on the insurance the company is supposed to provide, usually through bonding, in case the cleaner pockets your favorite jewelry, for example. Or they knock over the Faberge egg while dusting.
