I am so done with everything turning to shit because of AI, a service I have paid and used for years have pushed an "update" which is a broken mess and missing 60% of the features it had prior to the update. Turns out, the rewrite has been "vibe coded". Why? just why‽

WIN for assisted dying in Jersey!
In a landslide vote, Jersey lawmakers have backed choice for terminally ill, mentally competent adults.
Respecting the experiences of dying people, and overwhelming public support, politicians progressed an assisted dying law that is safe, fair and compassionate.
