Hypothetical for writers: if you found a chatbot that could offer editorial critiques (and set it to be brutally honest), would you use it?

Remember to thank all the community moderators and admins that tirelessly take the spammy, horrible and bot posts out to the trash for us, so we can have this nice space without being overrun by the trash!

@pdmckone OKAY GOOD NEWS
it's surface level, it's just the finish
I've had this stuff I've used on and off (mostly on plastics) that was supposed to repair paint finishes AND IT WORKED THIS TIME :D
(I dug it out to use on the little eye shields because those were kind of semi-opaque)
still real confused why the paint behaved so differently on one part than the other but at least it's something that fixes ^_^
Hurray!
I wonder what the difference between the two original surfaces is?
Enamel (non-alcohol-soluble) versus lacquer (alcohol-soluble)?
I'm glad the polish took off the haze!
@neutrinodisaster thank you for the suggestion!

anyway, good morning, I have London City Airport ATC in my inbox, anybody want some drone footage around London while I'm at it?
My main worry in lockdown was running out of hot sauce - it makes anything taste ok. October 2026, and the last of the six bottles of Encona hot pepper sauce I hoarded is now finished, several years out of date.
Some things in life should always remain a mystery, otherwise you find out that the pond with a fountain you can hear but not see when you're a kid is disappointing once you're an adult tall enough to look over the wall.
@anon_opin Focus on the joy of what you imaginatined instead, and try to recreate it in your own garden (if you got one).

I’m new to the Fediverse, and so far I’m loving it
It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.
I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.
I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.
And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.
thanksgiving is 2 weeks away, Anthropic wants their IPO out *before* then
they shoulda done this in july when Q2 was pumped with tokenmaxxing
roadshow next week, and THEY DON'T HAVE AN S-1 YET
it's important to note THEY DON'T HAVE AN S-1 YET
@davidgerard huh. Well. It’s good to want things, I guess.
first tests with a qwen code model (Qwen3-Coder 30B-A3B) on my framework laptop - codex didnt work so well, but from a technically working perspective, opencode appears to be fine. the first test script contained some errors, it is currently tasked in trying to find and correct its errors 👀 something of around 36t/s initially measured vs Qwen3.6 35B-A3B @42.3 t/s on my m2pro mac mini
@milan And here was me just wondering if Milan was dabbling in a little AI these days. 😎

Canada spends 1 of every 7 tax dollars on seniors benefits
https://nationalpost.com/opinion/first-reading-one-in-every-seven-canadian-tax-dollars-now-spent-on-seniors-benefits/
"Payments to Old Age Security as well as the Guaranteed Income Supplement are expected to hit $89.4 billion in the current fiscal year."
"It’s 55 [%] higher than the $57.4 billion in federal spending on health care. It’s 19 [%] higher than even the $75 billion military budget"
Canadian seniors are not, in general, poor. We should means-test #OAS and use the money elsewhere.

How about we start means-testing fossil fuel companies?

End of August, a tale in 3 parts.
Me: can we replace the broken tiles please, before winter, when the concrete is dry and the temperature is warm enough?
Tiler: sure, I'll send you an offer & we'll order the tiles already
.. a month passes
Me: where's the offer?
Tiler: ...
Me: calls back and leaves a couple of messaages
Tiler: ...
.. a month passes
Me: where's the offer?
Tiler: ...
Me: calls back and leaves a couple of messaages, asking for the offer
Tiler: ...
.. a month passes
Me: getting livid, leaves a message every day since Sunday
Tiler: finally calls back today, we haven't ordered the tiles yet because you haven't accepted the offer
Me: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU DOING
**throws Tiler out of the window**
I really hate dealing with tradies, I just want to give them money in exchange for services, and they make it so so hard.
