This modified version of the famous ‘turn #chatGPT into a pretend Linux system’ prompt is also my prototype for a product that will sell millions.
Oh my god we're at "sitting in the airplane seat you paid for is anti-social" -- EJECT, EJECT

A fantastic piece by @benjedwards about his life running a BBS in the early 90s: it’s filled with beautiful photos and screenshots from his archive and reads like a story right out of my comic. #BBS #retrocomputing #IncredibleDoom

My pal @phildini has just set up a payments platform for community-focused creators: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/launch-by-burb
This has a lifetime sign-up bonus offer where burb will cap fees to 1% on top of payment processing fees. Might be of interest for anyone wanting to get off patreon (:

I had a dream that somebody stabbed The Grinch at a holiday event and it was huge international news. They cancelled the World Cup
I have fought back tears while describing Dwarf Fortress twice today

Interacting with the current “AI” generator tools is more like laughing at a joke you already know the punchline to, or a format joke like a Tom Swifty, than anything new.
Popular coding Q&A site StackOverflow bans AI-generated answers due to a flood of incorrect answers that seem legit, overwhelming moderators. https://www.theverge.com/2022/12/5/23493932/chatgpt-ai-generated-answers-temporarily-banned-stack-overflow-llms-dangers
Just created some real dumb merchandise. Completely insane. We will never make money on this shit

How come all the “workaholics” we hear about are millionaires? I know many who are permanently disabled, their bodies broken through labor, with no money or ability to work without accommodations that politicians shut down

Fun fact: The Oregon Trail is not an 80s game. It is a 70s game.
The first version debuted in 1971, on December 3rd (so... tomorrow!) for the HP 2100 miniclmputer.
It predates the Apple II.
The first version for the Apple II came out sometime in 1977-1978, but the one people remember for the Apple II is actually the 1985 remake, after the previous release was so successful.
It’s Bandcamp Friday! That means artists keep 100% of sales revenue today. Go buy something from a musician or label you like. For example my 2021 release of heavily-weirded out drums titled Magnetic Interference https://philnelson.bandcamp.com/album/magnetic-interference-reverb-heavy-drum-beats
