And probably 90% of them are just building on top of OpenAI’s API rather than having their own model, and OpenAI still don’t know how to become profitable. It feels like the dot com bubble all over again.

Generally, if it’s just a plain word or something you can read easily, then it’s safe to keep it. If it’s a jumble of seemingly random letters, it’s probably a tracking code of some sort.

This is kinda true but also kinda fear mongering. UTM parameters are just to track where you clicked the link from. They’re usually not dynamic, and don’t contain anything about you personally. The example in the screenshot utm_source=newsletter is probably added to all links in a company’s newsletter email, so they can tell that people get to the page via the newsletter.

The funny part is that Replit has billboard ads along the 101 in Silicon Valley that say “vibe code, safely”

I didn’t realise repl.it has pivoted to vibe coding. It used to be similar to CodeSandbox or jsfiddle - a sandbox for writing and running code.

There’s a few groups like this in Australia, unfortunately.

Australia didn’t even have an R18+ rating for games until 2013 (R18+ is similar to AO or NC-17 in the USA). Before then, all games with a higher rating than MA15+ were illegal in Australia. Many games had an Australia-specific version with blood/gore reduced, some things edited out, etc. to reduce the rating. The original release of GTA4 in Australia was heavily censored.

The petition is directed at Visa and MasterCard. I’m not sure why the article says it’s a petition directed at Steam, because it’s not.
