  • Just skimming through it will be more than enough

    I remember reading an advice about this on https://fs.blog/ but forgot which article it was

    Found it: https://fs.blog/reading/

    The third component of reading is learning when to quit a book.

    Good writing is effortless reading. Bad writing, on the other hand, feels like a chore. Good writing is felt instantly. It is packed with ideas and insight and has a certain momentum that compels you to keep reading.

    Quitting is not as easy as it seems. If you were taught to finish what you started, that invisible rule is still with you today and might prevent you from quitting bad writing.

    When it comes to reading, you don’t need to finish what you start. You can quit. Once you realize that you can quit without guilt, everything changes.

    Skim a lot of books. Read a few. Immediately re-read the best ones twice.

    All the time you spend reading something bad comes at the expense of reading something good. Reading a great book twice is better than reading ten average ones.

    It’s largely about books, but I’d argue it applies to web pages








  • There are lots of finger-pointing here. Funko said the takedown was done by their partner, BrandShield. BrandShield said it was a URL-specific (or is it subdomain?) takedown, not the whole domain. The registrar, Iwantmyname, responded said takedown by taking down the WHOLE domain.

    I think Funko shouldn’t have trusted AI to do legal-related stuff. BrandShield is a stupid idea born from the AI-hype. It’s stupid and shouldn’t have existed. Iwantmyname is just as incompetent if not more–they haven’t even released any public statement about this. Their customer support are also slow to response apparently.

    Itch.io should move domain registrar. Funko should stop using BrandShield, it only damages their brand more.

    Also what’s up with Funko calling someone’s mom lol. that’s stupid


    I also think that this is why AI won’t replace our jobs. I’ve seen many instances where technologies replaces jobs, but this ain’t it
