Classic comic book style in super hero suits. (Yeah that's definitely my physique.)

Literally everything supports RSS.
Huh, I can subscribe to YouTube channels via RSS and watch videos via mpv. No need to even open that algorithmic shithole.

Noooo this was a joke. I like EAs.

This is just like an average Tuesday on the EA forum. Where's the lie?

This vuln was in the code for... years? Then it was reported and it took the nextjs team two weeks to triage it? The nextjs team is not exactly beating the allegations.

I'm sometimes asked why I don't just add a usage cap. This is equivalent to a pay-for-what-you-use model where I force users to buy an arbitrary number of credits each month and then expire them at the end of the month. That would certainly be better for me, but it would be worse for my users.

I think this model is better for most users, but it seems that most people don't think this way. This is also why I'd personally rather use the OpenAI/Anthropic API directly rather than pay for a chat sub. I assume most of my ChatGPT sub is just subsidizing the minority of super heavy users.
