It’s an art thing. No machines generating in place of humans a key ethic.

I have a set of the books from the time of release. Strangely, I’ve never read the last one.

If you’re curious regarding the details, ContraPoints has a long form vid on the issue.

Selfies always read as less secure to me. Possibly problematic on bad days or Halloween.

Fingerprint or tapping a code makes more sense.

I’m waiting for the selfie required logins. Right now, you log into YouTube or anything else with that user base and they want a selfie and a phone number. YouTube even asks for your address. You can skip. For now.

Blue.

This should be a web site or YT channel. How to remove such bits without bricking the item.

Just wait until AI writes for fortune cookies.

Wayyyy back I requested my FB data back before the data scandal and mass exodus. The data included a transcript of all messenger messages. That was then. No doubt it’s worse now. And people still use it like Zuck and his employees aren’t all peeping Tom’s on those conversations.

The site itself is a red flag. Grammar is even off.

They want your data, and if you don’t give it to them by logging in, they’re cutting you off. Probably.

Not easy, you’ve done well.

That’s not a bad idea. It is addictive. Tax it like alcohol and tobacco. I’ve watched a subset of diabetics scream that they need sugar no matter what healthcare tries to say about it. Tears. More often, anger and spiteful overconsumption in reaction to being told no. (A subset, not all.)

What’s killer is CL has what’s needed to usurp marketplace, if it would only get serious about integrating a messaging app.

Fair. I work with people such that email plays a very small role. But I never engage with it on a tiny phone screen, only when I’m sitting down with a PC or work computer.

Craigslist is a pita.

A guy was offloading a box of woodworking magazines. Read: full woodworking plans, multiple per mag. $10. Great.

The contact info is an email. Ridiculous, but ok, I’ll try it.

I use the junk proton mail and the guy responds like he’s on Facebook: yes it’s still available, when would you like to pick it up? Not what I asked, I gave 3 different t days I could be there in the afternoon already and never asked if it was available. He could’ve just said that works or doesn’t. More email. Fantastic.

I repeat what I said and add two more days a week later if he’s keen on waiting. He says tomorrow afternoon would be great, and names a time. But not a place. Great. More email.

I’m not going to futz with email on a tiny phone screen. I ask where while I’m at my PC. I get nothing. Next day rolls around. I try again. Nothing. The time comes and goes. Late evening I check on a lark. I get an oh sorry and he gives the address in an email time stamped hours after agreed upon pickup time.

This is Craigslist. It needs a texting platform to deal with people like this.

I’ve had similar email loops that go nowhere regarding chickens and then an armoire. Woodworking guy was that last. All trapped in email hell.

Craigslist is only under attack from itself. It needs a fast, easy way to text between users or it’s going to remain in the mud. It has the name recognition, and yet.

Yep. Social security is terrible. Grandma is why everything is terrible right now. Not Musk or Altman or Theil. Grandma and her entitlement to money she worked for, for years.

This is inexorably tied to legacy, the kind created by having children. The politics of it is why we’ve had a mere 50yrs of equality / the hard push for true equality and millennia of…not. It is, in part, why Roe fell in the US, to push back and reclaim some of the equality given.

To devalue the unpaid labor involved, to not acknowledge the value of not just having legacy but a legacy that is nurtured, is a rollback to a time without women’s liberation. It fails to acknowledge how integral that unpaid labor is to societies, growth, development. And is entitled as fuck. The man is a cretin. Apology or not, you know who and what he is now.

Either that or he’s taking the stance that stay at home moms and dads are lazy bastards who do no work

Sure, but with cost of shipping, most online estate sales are limited to the radius of local pickup, minus the very rich.

Estate auctions are their own thing, and vary by region. I didn’t realize it wasn’t everywhere.

Even so, when was the last time you saw any good music at goodwill?
