I then showed my review to Hemmingway-1 and it claimed:
1. "Hemmingway-1" is a fictional model invented for the fictional review;
2. The misspelling is a dead giveaway; and
3. It is Qwen3.8 and it refuses to be jailbroken by my claim it is Hemmingway-1.

Not a channel I usually have time for, but this was forwarded to me and is sort of interesting.

One advantage to my non-YouTube video site (https://matthewexplains.com/) is that you know who is paying me, if it's you.

When defending against scary enemies, we should have scary friends.

On replacements for my dying instance: currently leaning toward spinning up a friendi.ca instance. The big advantage to that software in particular is that it can run on a LAMP stack, and I already have several of those, so deployment and ongoing maintenance is easier than other federated server software that is designed around the assumption of nginx and systemd.

@woof@fedi.aria.dog It was how she wanted to go.

Every time I watch GitS:SAC2 it feels less fictional.

Seems pretty likely at this point that my supervillain origin story is going to involve having been presented with one too many "...has zero filter" or "...breaks celebrities" videos by the YouTube algorithm.

messing around with freeze-frame and handwriting recognition to figure out that the label on the Chinese canned goods (contents unknown) that Granville buys in "Still Open All Hours" says 未知的食物

been watching so much "Captain Steeeve" that I looked at a bee and imagined the controller clearing it for compound visual approach to petal 14-Left.
