Feel like part of the issue is everyone’s self imposed neurosis about not intruding on others. My wife insists on not ever asking to come over to someone’s house - she only wants to be explicitly invited. We invite people over to our place when we can but this leads to us basically never visiting any of our friends because they aren’t the planning type.

I am sure you are aware that on a subconscious level the ads have an impact on you, even if you think you are actively “ignoring” them

I wouldn’t blame openrouter, blame the providers that have lower quality of service than they should

I cannot see a meaningful difference at all in any of the example photos, so not really seeing what the point of this is.

To be fair to them - they've been doing it for 10 years without a problem!

Isn't this a failure by the company to recognize free trial abuse sooner? and to not close the loophole immediately seems like even more of a weak behavior. Calling them out but not taking decisive action beyond claiming that they are acting immorally ultimately accomplishes nothing. Businesses are not beholden to your ideas about what is nice and fair, but whatever the rules and constraints are to your system. if you keep a practice like this that allows free trial abuse forever, why would they spend money?

Very good read! love detailed explanations on the "bad" original code and steps taken toward improving it. a lot of it comes down to personal preference and the author did a good job at respecting what might have been an intentional design decision with their optimizations by making it all configurable

better question - does the changelog need to be checked in the first place?

gdpr might help you with data in a web database or data warehouse but if they have anything outside of that you're still screwed. I doubt a failing company has the time, energy, or resources to comprehensively clean up your data everywhere. Definitely submit the request but don't expect it to prevent your info from being resold

somehow? curious what you consider to be real ptsd vs. what you consider the trauma that front line health care workers faced during one of the worst Healthcare crises of our lifetimes.

EDEdDNEdDYFaN — Sun, 07 Jul 2024 12:35:15 +0000

Realistically how much money are they even saving trying to cut librarians? They couldn't trim the fat somewhere else in the budget? Seems like a waste of time and money to try and "automate" this when they can find the funding elsewhere
