Just in case you live under a hill, here is a task for you to do soon: Go to #LinkedIn, then your account settings, select "Settings & Privacy", then "Data #privacy", and disable the "Data for Generative AI Improvement". This is about *training* the models on your data, not *using* your data with AI

In my #ChatGPT instructions I have a 'no yapping' rule. Now she responds every three answers with 'No yapping :)' in the beginning. Which in itself is yapping in my understanding, even if the rest always doesn't yapp. The smiley makes me think there is some passive aggressiveness going on.
I wrote a blog post about my solution to Astro's problems with my OCD of adding and removing content while the dev server was running. Read it. Or not... It's your life... ;] #astro #vite -- kollitsch.dev/blog/2025/re...
Well, everything seems to be going away these days... The latest victim: Nova Launcher, my go-to Android launcher for the past 13 or so years.

Just watched Randy Writes a Novel - stand-up, puppetry, and existential crisis. Randy tries to write a novel and ends up unraveling into hilariously tangents. Worth my while.

I mean, how could they ever choose anything else?
I always say "Thanks. Perfect." at the end of my ChatGPT conversations, as I've learned that idle conversations cost them money. They are financed with billions of dollars, so it's no big deal.
Today, we mourn the passing of Skype, a once-vibrant bridge between friends and families, long forgotten. As we bid farewell to the familiar chime of incoming calls, we, with heavy hearts, are putting to its grave a chapter of our digital lives that shaped so many moments of connection.
Here’s my second favourite Miyazaki scene paired with Royskopp.

Screw AI, this is human made peanut butter and jelly.
It did not occur to me that it was four hours long. Then I realised it's the 2-hour-long album once mixed together, once in a single song mix. That is 4 hours. 2+2... True... The more the better :)

Star Trek Section 31 is... interesting. We might have arrived at the point where I am no longer interested in defending the franchise. It's Oceans 11 with a weird soundtrack. I guess the next generation will like it. We are 30 minutes in, and I just realized that there were no space scenes yet.
See you on the other side.

So Netflix told me today to watch Stealth (2005) and who am I to *not* do what Netflix is telling me. After watching this, ehm, product for about 30 minutes I checked on IMDB and, yes, it turns out the movie *has* a plot. www.imdb.com/title/tt0382...
