@voicenotesai @reddy2go What about wehooks for AI created content, not just the raw transcriptions? That would be very useful.

@WordPress What a great way to destroy GPL. This petty behaviour will wipe out any remaining trust (as can be seen in comments here). Glad I dumped WP a long time ago. For those who can code and want something much better, look at PayloadCMS (free, open source, MIT licence, trustworthy).

@jonholmes1 @MailOnline Do make sure you get paid. I've had this with them. It did take months though. They acted like utter ****s. The NUJ helped out in the end but if you're not a member of the NUJ or similar, I'm sure you can do it yourself. They are bunch of sharks but we got paid in the end.

[John Risby @johnrisby]

@payloadcms @nextjs Absolutely yes. Today please.

@IanNeal44496449 wow, you're really replying to an 8 year old jokey tweet about a pop song? and I'm the one who needs to "get a life" (twice)? while I can still block people on this shit-hole of a platform, goodbye.

[John Risby @johnrisby]

I still maintain Substitute contains racist lyrics but I’ve never found a single person who agrees with me! #Glastonbury #TheWho

[John Risby @johnrisby]

Feeling like the "Odd Man Out"? I never thought it would end - but it did, 19 years ago. And if I can do it, anyone can. We have thousands of people in our free group who felt the same but are now *happily* sober and in control. Would love YOU to join us - https://t.co/dnoyvfZbtC

[John Risby @johnrisby]

@MusLibPlUk Oh for sure it's not intentional - it's just old-fashioned thinking (or lack of). I wouldn't hang them for it but always glad I'm not the only one who thinks if it was released now people would, rightly, say "WTAF?!" ;)

[John Risby @johnrisby]

@angekinder Thanks Ange! x

[John Risby @johnrisby]

I was 19 years sober on Friday. I would never have guessed 19 years ago that ... Rick Astley covering The Smiths would be the highlight of my Glasto weekend - along with Lizzo of course. (Still time for Elton John to top it but I doubt it).

[John Risby @johnrisby]

@SpainInTheArse Thanks Ian. I can't think of any downsides (at least, not for me). Good luck if you do! Hope you're keeping well.

Slash has brought his guitar playing down to Axl's vocal level on November Rain. Great song. Terrible performance from all of them on this. #GunsNRoses

[John Risby @johnrisby]

Make your own 2023 Axl Rose with this easy to follow recipe. #GunsNRoses

[John Risby @johnrisby]

For God's sake BBC, can someone please turn down Axl's mic? I can hear him! #GunsNRoses

[John Risby @johnrisby]

Remember when Axl Rose used to look like this... age is a bitch eh? #GunsNRoses

[John Risby @johnrisby]

Wow. The Rolling Stones look better than #GunsNRoses - and they've got nearly 20 years on them... and I'm even including Charlie Watts and Brian Jones.

[John Risby @johnrisby]

@StorSkygge they were 5 fucking days late for the Maine Road gig that year! 🤣

[John Risby @johnrisby]

Wow, I come on to Twitter for a laugh over Eurovision and the first thing I see is a reminder for (just one of) the reasons I don't use it any more. Musk is a hypocritical arse.

[Dave Lee @DaveLeeBBG]

First genuine test of Musk's "free speech" lip service

[John Risby @johnrisby]

A brief return to twitter for the evening to supplement our Eurovision entertainment. Don't let me down (I know you won't!)

[John Risby @johnrisby]

@amix3k Btw, lock halist down to a single login (or two for desktop/laptop) at a time to cut down on abuse.

[John Risby @johnrisby]

@amix3k thanks for Halist but sadly I won't be renewing. While the new 600k gpt-4 limit is not unreasonable in itself, implementing it during a billing period and downgrading without any notice is not. I just wasted an hour fighting with it before guessing it was 3.5 not 4.

[John Risby @johnrisby]

@amix3k from people for a service, none of those are unreasonable expectations. Especially surprising as you said recently you were breaking even, and I know you're not doing this for profit (you should promote doist more with it).
