Congratulations 🎉 on your success!! 🙌🏾 The plot is reminiscent of a #bock or #bacoo from Caribbean folklore! https://raquelbahadoorsingh.wordpress.com/bacoo/ This looks like it's going to be an AMAZING 🤩 read! I'm going to be terrified, but I'm going to get a copy for myself too! I love expanding my horizons when reading even though I'm a scaredy cat.

@NatureMC thank you. If you scroll down a few paragraphs from that quote, I share some of my thoughts on that in the About page. See https://libraryofunwrittenbooks.org/about/

However, @pluralistic is much more elegant than I on this issues.

A rebuttal of "scraping is stealing" is beyond the scope of this post. So, I'll point you to Doctorow’s words who makes clear such a framing is not only ahistorical but also a trap! See https://pluralistic.net/2024/03/13/hey-look-over-there/#lets-you-and-he-fight

@writing

A scene from "Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi" features Admiral Ackbar, an amphibious humanoid character with a large, fish-like head, inside a spaceship. He exclaims, "It's a trap," as depicted by the yellow text at the bottom of the image. The background shows a starry outer space view through the ship's window. This moment is iconic in pop culture, often used to signify an impending danger or deception.

Colarusso OP , 19 days ago

@NatureMC as for ecological cost, you can see more of my thoughts here: https://suffolklitlab.org/protective-randomness-artificial-intelligence/

Spoiler alert: I gave up eating mammals largely for environmental reasons. So, I’m sensitive to folks who throw out AI’s environmental cost without asking compared to what. I think the objection to AI is something deeper. That’s what I struggle with in the above talk.

The German statutory workplace accident insurance publishes a guideline on software ergonomy, addresses human information intake and processing in it, but doesn't mention neurodivergence at all. WTF? @actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd

No it actually wasn’t. Idk if you used basically any search engine nowadays but SEO bullshit has destroyed useful results for like 90% of searches.

Subverb , 18 days ago

I use paid search engine kagi.com; search results with no ads or “promoted” crap.

Seeing search results without all the advertising is shocking the first few times you do it. It’s amazing how much advertising pollution has crept into Google’s search results.

Ik kan instemmen met de vaststelling van boekenblogster Evelien de Nooijer dat »dit wel een boek [is] dat we mee zouden moeten nemen als we nadenken over de groene transitie en dat soort zaken.«

Voor de liefhebbers is er een interview uit 1967 waarin Tournier over het boek wordt bevraagd - in zwart-wit en in het Frans 😃
https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=B9oU7

En een mooi interview door de schrijver Jean-Philippe Arrou-Vignod, uit mei 2011:
https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=0APKZtA047k, naar aanleiding van een 'herschrijving' (reécriture) van zijn debuutroman met de nieuwe titel: "Vendredi ou la vie sauvage". Zie over die herschrijving ook:
