Holy fuck Reddit
I just got banned from Reddit for complaining about AI in a string of replies all complaining about AI. Everybody in the chat got banned for 3 days. Holy fuck.

If anybody's interested...
I made a design for a sticker (or banner or whatever) if anybody is interested in making their own.
I put the image on my cyberspace page. You can download the JPG file.

And yes, I have sunk in the mire of commercial technology and looking for a way out.
Technology these days
Spending lots of money fixing problems nobody even had.

Hard to believe I'm up to P already!

N is for Neville who dies of ennui
This is my favorite one. I think a lot of us here in Cyberspace can relate to poor little Neville.

Online news
Has anybody else noticed that all news headlines read as clickbait?
Crap like “This happened to the Pope and you won’t believe it!”
“San Francisco Created a Car-Free Oasis by the Sea—and It’s Driving Locals Mad”

AI slop
Someone on Reddit bragged about using AI to make 1200 lines of code to turn on a light.
