Hahaha - I made my own website to mock these ones: https://matthewquerzoli.com/#/projects/internet-recipe

It took me way too long to realize it has infinite scroll and keeps repeating, bravo!

The fact that I couldn't scroll to the actual recipe was infuriating. You're despicable!

Not forced yet, but we have a lower risk appetite than your average firm. If it is used, instructions are clear that the output should not be treated as gospel and verse. Haven't heard of any major issues as a result of unfiltered, unreviewed AI dumps (yet).

Aside from the numerous So Fresh instalments, Demon Days might have been the first CD my brothers and I played to death. Timeless.

Same tactic for the Evernote increase. Finally dumped it for Joplin and haven't looked back.

Evernote also had an ownership change as they were sold to Bending Spoons. Bending Spoons then moved development to Europe and raised prices.

Bending Spoons is an Italian sweatshop with a ton of cash lying around. Anything they touch turns into poop, and as an employer, their reputation is terrible.

But somehow, they have a ton of cash influx that they use to acquire struggling businesses quite frequently.

The enpoopification of Evernote was already well underway by the time they acquired it.

Evernote used to be a one-of-a-kind product. It made a lot of key people filthy rich, and then it sort of lost traction.

I was listening to Gergely Orosz’s podcast[1] on Bending Spoons and found out that Evernote’s codebase was a complete mess and beyond repair.

Beside Evernote which I never used I like the word enpoopification which has nicer ring to it than enshittification.

I see just so much potential to it. It could be linkedIn profiles: Leader|Innovator|Enpooper . Enpoopies awards/badges on forums for questions or blogs like "How can/did we replace aging RabbitMQ setup with Kubernetes-Kafka-Cluster"

You are correct - John Irving writes his endings first.

"People have commented – sometimes with irritation, sometimes nicely – on the amount of foreshadow that there is in my novel. Well, yeah, it’s not that hard to foreshadow what’s coming when you know what’s coming…I write endings first. I write last sentences – sometimes last paragraphs – first. I know where I am going. I write collision course stories."

I've just re-read Foundation original trilogy to wash the bad taste that the first (and for me last) season of the TV series left on my mouth. I was surprised to find so much foreshadow in the second and third books for the key twists in the plot.

By the way, Asimov is mentioned in TFA, that makes sense. With our Corín Tellado, he was one of the most prolific authors ever.

This is great! I built a very similar thing a while ago - https://www.funnypasswordchecker.com/ Definitely not in the same league but it was a lot of fun!

Agree with it all. Although I'll add that I miss charring vegies over the naked flame, as well.

Reminded me of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War

A moment of silence for the brave veterans of that war.
