jeffgreco··on Who’s Afraid of Lorne Michaels?
What on earth is this linked piece? Bizarre behavior.
jeffgreco··on Pulling my site from Google over AI training
My pitch:

A search engine that exclusively indexes noindex sites (you can use other sites while spidering) and builds an LLM model with the results.

jeffgreco··on Sarah Silverman is suing OpenAI and Meta for copyright infringement
Perhaps? But certainly not what’s shown here.
jeffgreco··on Sarah Silverman is suing OpenAI and Meta for copyright infringement
I mean I’m no lawyer but this doesn’t strike me as a great example for infringement? Detailed summaries of books sounds like textbook transformative use. Especially in Silverman’s case, reducing her book to “facts” while eliminating artistic elements of her prose make it that much less of a direct substitute for the original work.
jeffgreco··on Ross Ulbricht Threatens LowEndBox. It's Weird
Weird is the extremism in the comments there. Pass.
jeffgreco··on Air quality reporting on iOS
By killing Dark Sky and their own weather app and pushing me to an annual CARROT Weather subscription, they made themselves a profit of 30% of the CARROT Weather subscription -_-
jeffgreco··on Gergely Orosz: on the risk of Google shutting down Google Cloud Platform
Meh. Not seeing the parallels between Domains and Cloud. Like comparing a Google Doodle’s ARR with Domains.
jeffgreco··on ChatGPT app for iOS
It’s actually less functional than the web interface — plugins and web browsing features are unavailable.

But it does do a LOT of haptic.

jeffgreco··on Lego violates GPL by keep Blender-based BrickLink Studio source closed (2021)
Where's the misinformation? Isn't he describing the second option you quoted?
jeffgreco··on Use RSS for privacy and efficiency (2021)
I make heavy use of https://kill-the-newsletter.com/ to convert e-mail newsletters into RSS feeds -- IMO the RSS reader context is way better than an email inbox for consuming newslettery content.
jeffgreco··on Adobe to acquire Figma for $20B
Just playing devil's advocate, why would someone pay the standard monthly price if they could get the annual price discount and cancel after a month?
jeffgreco··on Nomad drained of $150m due to a coding mistake
I wish that were true. The Celsius and Voyager fallout has shown otherwise:

jeffgreco··on Chrome 100
You just inspired me to dig through the flags -- at least the side panel is removable.

jeffgreco··on Show HN: We built an app for reading articles saved for later
Hey team - been on the hunt for a new read it later app since Instapaper has become unusably buggy and Pocket has issues of its own.

Very first article I tried to pull via my Pocket account didn’t pull the full article though (which I only noticed since I just hopped over from Pocket):

https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-new-yorker-interview/w...

Then the very next article I tried only loaded in web view, while it was available as text only in Pocket.

Would love to see additional font options too!

jeffgreco··on Is Mozilla Firefox Getting Sketchy?
Bizarre that the nonprofit’s browser has more advertising built in than the advertising company’s browser.
jeffgreco··on Is Mozilla Firefox Getting Sketchy?
Why do you consider the criticism of these advertising features irrational?
jeffgreco··on Apple's Power Move to Kneecap Facebook Advertising Is Working
$0.15 for the page and $50.00 for the gas fee.
jeffgreco··on White House Launches US Digital Corps
Thankfully there are lots of very talented engineers who avoid working at FAANGs for a wide variety of reasons, including a desire for work with greater social impact.
jeffgreco··on White House Launches US Digital Corps
This isn’t a replacement for USDS though, it’s a companion program. And it appears USDS is still actively recruiting.
jeffgreco··on Gawker Is Dead and Deserved to Die (2017)
This is the truest take. Federalist is directly sponsored pro-wealthy propaganda.

Gawker, on the other hand, was a widely read and appreciated outlet silenced by one of the country’s worst billionaires.

jeffgreco··on Audacity fork without any sentry telemetry or crash reporting
Downloads are an incredibly non-useful statistic. Appreciate your disinterest in providing information but it’s disingenuous to say this is a worthwhile piece of data.
jeffgreco··on Ohio sues Google, seeks to declare the internet company a public utility
To be fair, “English-speaking” is pretty relevant in the state/country being discussed.
jeffgreco··on Ohio sues Google, seeks to declare the internet company a public utility
Usage patterns seem extremely important for building out a renewable power grid. Meanwhile, what is the privacy concern with the “shape” of your usage?
jeffgreco··on Life after an internet mob attack
Agreed, regardless of political leanings Adams is clearly not someone to cite regarding civil or non-inflammatory participation in society.
jeffgreco··on New Snap Spectacles Feature Augmented Reality Display
iOS offers the choice between male and female assistant voices and has removed a default.

jeffgreco··on The man who didn't invent Flamin' Hot Cheetos
What could be more inflammatory than lying about Flamin’ Hot Cheetos?
jeffgreco··on Bibliogram – Open-source front-end for Instagram
Since embeds are always accessible, I created a quick page and iOS Shortcut to allow for easier viewing of specific Instagram post links.

Just append the ID to https://instaembed.github.io/INSTA_ID_HERE

This shortcut will do it automatically if you share an Insta link to it:

I just tried to wipe that off my screen.
jeffgreco··on My service to check whether an item is counterfeit or not
In the UK, it probably is. But it was relatively unknown at the time, so it would be surprising if you had.
jeffgreco··on My service to check whether an item is counterfeit or not
Seems unlikely. Why?
