Oh balls. I use Hover for registration, dnsimple to host my DNS. V happy with both.

True. And context is critical with these things. It's just a shame that the 30 second answer is at best going to have the taste of the average community member, at best, and the AI tool doesn't know about the context either

Sadly…

You make a good point. I think mentors are handy for this kind of thing, if you can find one (team mates also work well)

Totally. I've had a free account for years now and still haven't turned it on.

I love @amyhoy.bsky.social's point — if we let these things type stuff out for us (or write text for us), we deprive ourselves of the learning that comes with doing.

And learning is a lot of fun. It makes no sense.

I wanted to make a social networking site for people who'd just started their careers at BT at the same time as me, so we could arrange to go to the pub get to know each other. It was 1996.

Time to define a `git push` alias that also launches the browser?

Top tip, thanks!

"oh, it wrote that email for me!" no it didn't. it cribbed from a bunch of other people's writing online and gave you a mishmash of all of them. a gutter average.

you could've looked at hand-tuned example emails written by somebody who knows what they're doing and learned from that instead

Why aren't more people making this point about cheating ourselves out of learning?

I just don't get the appeal of getting the computer to do my thinking for me, and learning "prompt engineering" feels like a decidedly short term strategy

Fantastic idea, and I really appreciate just being able to click "Follow All" 👏

Yes, I think that's an excellent way of putting it

So I'm thinking in a Venn diagram of all these terms, free speech and hate speech don't actually overlap.

So I looked it up. Wikipedia says that the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights defines free speech as the "right to hold opinions without interference" but that it carries "special duties and responsibilities". They go on to talk about protecting the rights of others, and morals.

I'm noticing some internal dissonance over the idea that free speech and moderating hateful language are mutually exclusive. To me, free speech is about the right to share your position and critique others' actions/call for change, without fear of repercussions. But am I missing something?
