I want the same. The problem is that this kind of tool is outside the T&C of the platforms, and if they catch you using it, you would probably be banned or suspended. There will be always a small risk of that.

Ok, I'll see it later but please use the 'Release' feature of GitHub. It is the easiest way to tell for your customers that a new release is out. Even GH can send notifications. Thanks.

New comment by itherseed in "Humans Persistently Devalue AI-Generated Creative Writing"

itherseed — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 16:24:06 +0000

Summary: "Across 16 experiments with over 27,000 participants, we show that people tend to evaluate creative writing less favorably when they believe it was written by artificial intelligence (AI), because they see it as less authentic than if a human author had produced the exact same work without AI. This bias is persistent and difficult to reduce, even when using techniques that mitigate aversion to AI in other contexts."

Thank you so much for this. I was wondering not so long ago what happened to TheDraw.

Yeah, but the article from biggo is a much better summary that I could do at that moment

In a move that reminiscent of the change of Redis, they removed all the functionality of the UI of the community version and pointed to the paid version.

From the Changelog: (https://github.com/minio/object-browser/blob/master/CHANGELO...)

"Deprecated support of accounts & policies management, this can be managed by using mc admin commands.

Deprecated support of bucket management, this can be managed by using mc commands.

Deprecated support of configuration management, this can be managed by using mc admin config commands. Please refer to the MinIO Client for more information.Deprecated support of accounts & policies management, this can be managed by using mc admin commands.

Deprecated support of bucket management, this can be managed by using mc commands.

Deprecated support of configuration management, this can be managed by using mc admin config commands. "

This PR that removes away all the features in the UI: https://github.com/minio/object-browser/pull/3509 . The discussion around this PR is locked.

I think that "Deprecated support" has another meaning. I hate when this kind of things happens.

The advantage of the original approach is that later, when you need it, you can just add more methods to a class that are private to them. In your approach, if you need a new function, you add it at the global level, which can totally be fine for one or two functions, but with any more you end up with a bunch of functions all at the same level that is no longer obvious the dependency between them.

New comment by itherseed in "Brazilian court orders suspension of X"

itherseed — Sat, 31 Aug 2024 15:39:50 +0000

Not my words by an accurate statement:

"A Brazilian judge tells Elon that he has to block certain users of X. Elon says no. The judge says that he will then put X's legal representative in Brazil in jail. Elon closes the offices in Brazil. The judge says that he has to have a legal representative in Brazil, that is what the law says. Elon says "if I name another representative you will put him in jail". Then the judge orders X to be blocked in Brazil. And he threatens to fine those who try to use X in Brazil through VPNs. In other words, users who easily use X in Brazil to see memes become potential criminals when they did nothing illegal.

It's crazy. It's an abuse of authority. Because let's suppose that Carlinho Da Souza calls for burning all the kids alive, the one who commits a crime (let's suppose) is Carlinho, and Justice should be focused on him, not on the company that provides its platform without knowing beforehand that Carlinho is an idiot, and even knowing it later from his posts. And you shouldn't demand that the company prevent Carlinho from exposing his stupidity, that would be like telling the cell phone company not to let me talk on the phone because I threatened to break someone's face. And then, since the company says no, it won't prevent me from talking on the phone, then it blocks the cell phone signal throughout the country, for everyone.

Freedom of expression is being able to say what you want and take responsibility for the consequences. But the consequences are for the alleged offender, not for people who have nothing to do with it.

To make another cheap analogy, if someone stabs a neighbor, you can't ban knives and force butchers to cut meat with their teeth."
