Even people selling secondhand kids bikes are using AI slop to write descriptions. Just found a great one with nonsense like:
- "Pneumatic tires". No shit? Times of people using wooden wheels is long over.
- "Two-legged stand for safe parking". The picture clearly shows a typical one-legged stand 😆
- "Pedals with reflectors". You don't say Hans? This is the law.

etc, etc.

Humanity has entered great stupidity era.

The muddy field tracks, unpaved sections, steep hills, etc. certainly create for a unique and enjoyable race 😀

What is preventing your company from having a recruitment objective of "7 days from application to offer or rejection"?

I'm really interested in hearing your thoughts on this, I've been in companies where we almost hired people on the spot, and in companies where it took months to provide an answer. What's your experience like?

Going through some of my tech talk slides I had a ToolTime 😆That dog conveys waiting better than anything else would ever do.

Good job at making the UX worse. Ever heard of frame per seconds?

Woke up this morning and asked my boi "lets get you a new bike?" (his previous bike was getting too small)

Fast-forward to late afternoon: He went shredding down fire roads in the fields 😆 Now he is even faster 😬

Now one can speculate and think it means "we'll sell all your shit and take the money".

OR Discovery features have cost millions of euros to research and develop over the years (it has). If newer models and tooling enables more for a fraction of the cost it would be a profitable move to partner with external third-parties or pursue new approaches internally, and that might require a ToS change.

OR both :)

Here we go with SoundCloud ToS update. I don't know why they did this, there certainly are legal and business reason pushed by execs & VCs.

Still, a bit of history: As long as I can remember, SC had teams dedicated to machine learning, as do all streaming platfoms. That's how suggestions are provided in feeds, on artist pages, in search, etc.

LLM, manual curation, and ads is how artists are being suggested.

So of course they'll pursue more modern means, and update their ToS accordingly.

I really don’t get these downhill attacks from EF Cédrine. Tried and failed at LBL, tried and failed yesterday in the vuelta and and again today.
Love the idea, and the guts, but it’s time for a new less predictable move especially with her current position in GC 😆

Most geoblocking and other shenanigans to limit content to specific users are extremely poorly designed and poorly negotiated with right holders, including the big film and music streaming services.

There is one example I love: The Belgian French speaking public broadcaster RTBF. As long as you can provide proof of Belgian nationality they provide full access to all their radio and TV channels no matter your location.

They put real thought into a good solution, and I enjoy it at least monthly!

I get speed limitations for bikes in busy places like promenades, but what's the point of doing that on a cycling lane next to a busy highway with low bike traffic? This only force cyclists to ride on the road…
