Another day, another ironic bot

And before you start, I went to Claude for a reason and not because my brain rotted itself

The irony of being blocked by Claude for using a unique use email address as it accuses me of stealing from it while it has spent the last 6 months chewing on my tarpit non-stop or sending a horde of Chrome annoucing bots at my infra because it’s blocked on robots.txt, is certainly not lost on me

Predictably the UK is using that attack as an excuse open the discussion on what kind of authoritarian tech they can use and the words predictive data analytics (no doubt sold by Palantir as usual) going unchallenged in the press. Good luck over there

YouTube force fed my next video with a GBeebies story, so I reported it for hate speech. YouTube again is trying to push neo nazi idiology in to my feed when I all want to watch is train videos, weird streamers, and the occasional documentary on countries I’ll never be able to visit

I got fucked hard by Transport Fever 2, crashed out and destroyed my very well done Métro network 🥲

Jarod figured out I was hiding pills in his food, we’ve had to return to the shove pill down face approach. He fights like a monster, eventually swallows the thing, then gets up giving it « that’s not so bad » sir. We’ve been repeating this for a week now, 3 times a day

I’ve been working on getting additional contracts, so far I have found a variation of “we don’t trust freelancers so you have to come to our office all the time” (isolated from other clients) or “we figured this is a great way to pay less than the legal minimum salary and you pay everything”

When I send mail from Alpine using my iCloud mail account (don’t judge, it’s one minor mailbox) there is a very noticeable 5 minute delay. Anything sent by webmail or watch is instant 🤔

AI bots are eating shit from my shit buffet and they are absolutely loving it https://mmn.eco/2025/10/23/continue-to-eat-shit/
