this dude _literally_ wrote about a neighboring town that's dying and the government isn't helping them out. https://shagbark.substack.com/p/obituaryland

Convincing people to move to a remote area while at the same time seeing literal ghost towns develop, is not something I would recommend. What happens when the public utilities fail? The roads need repairing? One of the _many_ blizzard-like seasons can knock out critical infrastructure.

So how many neuro-divergent people did you test this on before you made the claim that it would help them?

Brilliant? Launching an app for creating events that requires you to 1) own an iDevice and 2) pay into, just to create events?

I'll send an email for free, thankyouverymuch.

We all knew The Chinese government was going to censor it. The censoring happening in ChatGPT is arguably more interesting since they are not beholden to the US government. I'm more interested in that report.

https://github.com/eulerto/wal2json has existed for this purpose for many years, just transform the incoming records into JSON and parse with literally any standard tool that reads the format. There's a literal postgres extension for this.
