Gute Nacht, Freunde.
No writing this morning, but some admin stuff - I changed the description of Steps of Courage. Would be really fun to see some sales, finally.
Ran errands in town, and walking home demonstrated how much out of shape I am. There will be more walks in the future...
And writing.
Tomorrow is a new day!
Wow. I think I got down to maybe 12 or 13.
No, I meant which country. Because as far as I know there are few international laws about software.
Geht mir ganz genauso.
Dumm, ignorant, alles nur Klientelpolitik. Und wir alle werden bitter dafür bezahlen, dass sich Merz und Co. für ein paar Tage von den Reichen geliebt fühlen dürfen.
Es macht mich so ungeheuer wütend.
Where?
And well... I suppose that also answers my question:
Apps might be more resistant to the lastest Google attack.
I would assume Apps have that only if it's programmed into them.
But thanks, that is a good point to keep in mind.
I'm just so fed with creating accounts for every little service, giving them name, address birthday, they are all grabbing data when I don't really want them to.
Well, eff Google, a hundred times.
I hope there will be plug-ins that block this nonsense. I hope WordPress will block this nonsense.
I'm running my Website to express myself, not to create parts for some some AI slop. I will never adapt it to fit Google's slop, either.
Websites are by humans for humans.
Google has gone completely off the rails, they are aiding a fascist government, and want to alter history and facts in real time.
Utterly disgusting!
Why in the world does every store, every service, every organization need an "app"?
What is wrong with having a decent, functioning website?
I do not want to read, buy, organize and research things in an "app". I want websites. I mean, why do we have those big screens, right?
I hate, hate, HATE apps. I hate having to use my phone.
Why is everyone trying to make me use a tiny screen, a crappy "keyboard" with minuscule keys, and insists that is progress?
Hört sich nach einem Geschenk für Musk an.
Hah! I remember playing Rogue, on my Atari 1040, using the TV as screen.
Was there ever a limit of levels to go down?
Unfortunately, Germany's carmakers are not much better. Most of our big car companies build SUVs and hold back on EVs.
And our chancellor fights against EVs every time he can.
It makes me very angry.
It's above the reviews of every book I look at on Amazon, a "summary" of what people love about the book. It's not labeled as "AI", but that's clearly what it is.
Below that are the usual reviews, they are not changed. But how many people actually read on beyond that summary?
I know people no longer review much on Amazon, either, they just hit the stars at the end of an ebook, and that's it.
I will never review on Amazon again, I use Bookwyrm now.
Yeah, that looks like an AI-slopped book that hasn't been edited properly. I just spied an m-dash in the next sentence. *snicker*
Oh, yes, Heyne is one of Germany's biggest publishers of Fantasy, not many ways around them. They publish a LOT of translations.
I don't read Terry Pratchett in German (ugh, I hate translations, most are bad), but I remember books having ads in them myself - very clearly ads, on their own page though, not snuck into the text like Sue's example.
Those ads happened in the 1970s, for some reason. Still, I'm sure it was in the contract.
#PennedPossibilities 962 — If there was ever going to be a film or a series based upon your WIP, what do you imagine the soundtrack would be like? What genre?
For the longest time, I wanted Apocalyptica to create the sound track for my fantasy stories.
Or John Williams, now that would be beyond cool.
One can dream, right?
Truth is, I'd love to see a Scandinavian producer create a series of mini-series for my Wolves. I think that would work very well.
*offers a hug*
I favorite posts a LOT.
And that favorite could be an internet hug, an encouragement, a genuine like - basically a sign of interaction and possibly kindness.
We all need more kindness in life.
