Go Midori-compatible and build your own. I did and very pleased with the results.

Which is why I have some very mixed feelings about it. On the one hand I don’t see the usefulness of Claude learning about a Linux guide I wrote 27 years ago. On the other hand, I hate the deception of it all.

We’re being offered $3K per title to settle the Anthropic lawsuit. This for some very outdated technical texts.

I tested positive last week. My get-better routine involved walking my Cockapoo four times a day. So get a dog and start walking. Feeling great today.

St. Paul Pioneer Press owned by Alden and run separately from the 32 Chicago-area Pioneer Press papers controlled by the Tribune. STPP bought by Alden long before Alden bought Tribune Publishing.

Everyone’s golden age of alt-weeklies is when they hit 18 and saw glimpses of the wider world. Had the same reaction when I first read the Twin Cities Reader as a high schooler. ;)

Go back farther to the 1980s and the rise of the local music scene. It was essential reading. Cut my teeth with a few bylines there.

Amazon’s sales rank algorithm—not a pure sales listing—doesn’t work the way you think it does. It’s a combo of interest in the sales listing plus a percentage of sellthroughs (a stat available to sellers) plus units moved. You can’t externally fake it, but it’s more a measure of movement, not sales.

Social media interns likely prepared this blurb.

It was not but tends to be recognized regionally, not nationally. Never had a Minnesota or Wisconsin employer recognize it; my NYC employer did. Just because a day is a federal holiday does not mean an employer needs to recognize it.

Oh, sweetie, are you out of touch if you want to pitch furry novels to a middle grade audience. ;)

I didn’t say it was a great system. It sucks when a print mag is discontinued and it sucks to be laid off because of circumstances beyond their control. Btw, do you actually know if PE is involved with Outside, or are you just throwing out buzz phrases? I have never worked with PE firms.

Based on actual knowledge after working 20 years in the mag publishing industry. Laid off folks myself; not to be crass, but they are the least likely to have a broad view of everything. Outside is doing exactly what it said it would going back to 2022–going digital.

Outside acquired a travel firm and is laying off some employees and hiring in other areas. www.bizjournals.com/denver/news/... it announced plans to move totally to digital in 2024. help.outsideinc.com/hc/en-us/art... far from dead.

So you deduced this based on the math? It’s 100 percent inaccurate. Here is a stat for you. We have been blessed with a lot of great blurbs authors, ranging from John Feinstein and the late Bill Walton to Andrew and David Maraniss, and they all supplied original prose.
