🔗 Ranked: Number of Trade Agreements Across 30 Economies

Parking this here as a thought that will feed into a piece I am ‘assembling’.



🔗 Meta is killing off Messenger’s Mac app for unknown reasons.

I think ‘undeclared reasons’ would be more accurate. We all know what the money grubbing branch of hell is really doing.


**Auckland **

  • supports Gaza ✅
  • strikes to support nurses, teachers et al ✅

But METALLICA’s pop up store for ‘merch’ …

Now THAT’s a turnout.

Priorities people. Priorities.

No Photos - sorry - but just been looking through a TASCHEN Book - 75 Years of Atlantic Records - just #Awesome


Playing around with both Claude and ChatGPT for help with simple tech stuff

Claude is by far the best - and is consistently so good at nailing stuff

BUT

It seems to get ‘tired’ as in I run out of tokens - even as a 20 bucks a month user

ChatGPT never seems to run out

BUT

OMG - no memory - edits on edits - fix an issue and an old issue reappears - nuts making.


The reason for that top post is that at noon - the second and third post were not showing anywhere - despite what the time stamp says.


Auckland to Sydney less than $200

Auckland to Wellington over $300 - sometimes $500

.. and we wonder why people are streaming out of New Zealand.

“The logical end of mechanical progress is to reduce the human being to something resembling a brain in a bottle. That is the goal towards which we are already moving, though, of course, we have no intention of getting there; just as a man who drinks a bottle of whisky a day does not actually intend to get cirrhosis of the liver.”

When Manton , Dave and Brent

(he writes as if they are long time buddies - truth is I have never talked to any of them - but I do very much like what they all do and sometimes it just feels that I do know them - anyway my point ..)

… start referring to the same thing (I’m talkin’ markdown:source) I do get excited - which is odd cos I’m not sure how it’s going to impact me - but I have trust.

Now if they could all start talking about that thing where you write a post - and it goes out on RSS - and then you change it and RSS does nothing - except in WordLand - now that would tickle my fancy enormously if that happened when I did that on Micro.Blog and Blot.


Dear Siri … I wrote ‘mega’ … M-E-G-A … please do not - ever - EVER AGAIN - change the ‘E’ to an ‘A’ … NOT COOL.
