@jsonbecker I’m not totally convinced by that argument. Software development is about a lot more than generating lines of code. Just as lines of code has never been a good measure of programmer productivity, the ability to generate massive amounts may not result in more productive teams.
@flotisserie That’s an interesting set of instructions. I wonder what kind of writing you’re using Claude to generate, since you’re obviously able to write yourself.
@patrickrhone If it helps (and why should it?) I’m on a 2017 Intel MacBook Pro. Still does most things fine. Though I can’t install some newer applications, which is a shame.
@ReaderJohn She had a hit single in the UK with ‘O Superman’, back in 1981. I had to check the year, I admit. It got to number 2!
@llbbl I know, I know. And I agree. But like I said, it’s hard not to celebrate when a tyrant like that goes. And maybe it was a tactical mistake, as I’ve seen some analysis saying. But the chance of the Iranian people being free, you know?
@JohnPhilpin Oh also, why does it say ‘Charlie Sheen’ at the end of your post? Is there something I’m missing?
@manton What’s the best way to report issues or request features? The usual email? Or have you got something else set up for Inkwell?
@dfte I completely agree.
@JohnPhilpin Yeah, well, like I said, there, it’s more complex than people would like. But there might be a chance for the Iranian people to rise up against the regime. We can only hope.
Annoyingly (but not your fault) your quote locks my second-word typo in for all to see. Should be ‘feels’, of course, and now corrected in the original.
If the surname is Griffiths, then Griffiths’s is exactly right for the possessive. I’m guessing you think it should be s-apostrophe? That only applies to plurals ending in ‘s’.
@manton That looks great!
‘Upper working class’: I don’t think that’s an expression I’ve ever even heard.
@garius.bsky.social I’ve never heard of anyone describing themselves as upper working class, for what it’s worth.
@manton Nice one, I love the positivity.
@JohnPhilpin It’s worse than that: how will we ever effect changes in our affect?
@dave You know that’s a link to an Amazon page?
@manton Thanks, the search works now. But when I tried to add the book to my ‘Currently Reading’ shelf, it didn’t work. The three books that were already on there are still there, but not the new one. I was able to create a new post with it, though.
@manton OK, thanks.
@adders What is ‘liquid content’?
@manton I think there’s something wrong with bookshelves for me. No book I search for now is found, except ones that are already on my shelves.
I was trying to add Caledonian Road by Andrew O’Hagan, and when it wasn’t found, I tried Hamnet. Not found even though there’s a film!
OK, go less obscure(!) Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone? Nah. Try Sorcerer’s instead? No joy.
@manton Ah, sorry, I was being an idiot. I was looking for the button at the top of the main body of the page, but I missed it, big and prominent, in the sidebar!
That said, the ‘New’ button for Pages is blue and at the top right, and I was kind of looking for something like that.
On the other other hand, having it in the sidebar means it’s available everywhere, which is good.
I obviously don’t start posts from the web very often!
@manton Possibly related, I don’t seem to have a ‘New Post’ button anywhere!
@manton OK, that makes sense.
@manton Have we gone to 600 characters before being truncated and linked now?
