#switching
Just learned my ex-employer is switching insurance AND pbm.. Cigna and OptumRX. So, uh, yeah, I think using COBRA would be a bad idea, given that last time I was on Cigna, they declared I was using too much insulin and they weren't going to pay for it anymore.

We’ll see how far they go with it, but honestly this too is a race to the bottom and not in favour of OpenAI.

If you’re OpenAI you don’t want people to use the API, because switching API provider is so fucking easy. Particularly if you use their API from a platform not from them.
OpenAI: we're aligning our API pricing with subscription pricing.

Now, you can just use your subscription with third-party apps.

Thanks, I guess...

Yes, but folks who are switching should avoid buying brand new models (speaking as an EV owner).

Manufacturing and lithium mining are the two big negative environmental impacts where EVs are concerned. Demand for those things should be kept down, too.

We're doing okay! I've been on and off a bit lately. Life is a bit hectic. Health issues, too many chores, switching medications etc etc etc. Life never slows down, I fear. 😅

How about you and yours?

Ok so tonight I'm playing More Onimusha to work on the platinum and then switching over to GBO2 Dailies and yes we'll talk about the elephant in the room.

Which means I’ll end up on the enterprise software treadmill, where every few years we change providers. And you better believe they’re going to work to make switching much harder than it is now. As a consumer, I don’t want to he anywhere near that mess.

Depends on whether you think the story of a crazy D year is all about turnout or partially about people switching sides/indies going like 80% D.

I think queernormative for me suggests a world where queerness is almost completely unremarkable - marriages between folks of any gender are common, folks switching genders isn't worth commenting on, nobody expects marriages to be consummated/romantic relationships to have a sexual element, etc

I have multiple projects, all in different areas.

I work on them in phases: a few weeks focused on one, then I switch when another needs more attention.

It works, but context switching is still tricky.

How do you handle multiple projects at once?

sometimes i think about restarting a piece or going to a new one, not because they're hard but because i am constantly experimenting & customizing my brushes, switching up my process, and trying to make my art look the way that i want instead of making it look like idk what im doing most of the time

What are you trying to achieve with the second currency? You can trade 1 currency for consumption or capital ownership. Does switching between 2 currencies change the dynamic outside of introducing an additional layer of illicit dealing? Do companies with dividends just become a method to launder?

Altman says that OpenAI has considered stopping the use of tokens as a pricing factor. They’re confusing to consumers. But customers push back on switching to direct dollar-based pricing.

[a long discussion later]

>"Oh, yeah, that is a possibility as to why it flared up. Switching to injection would absolutely resolve that, but are you okay with needles?"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahano. But I'll cope. Gimme the stabbies."

As I was closing the window on the work computer and switching to another task, I muttered aloud to myself, "Today is Tuesday." And immediately a song from the old Mickey Mouse Club popped into my head: "Today's Tuesday, you know what that means? We're gonna have a special guest!"

Switching to a world where only "family-sized" units got funding would skew the market in such a way that one-bedrooms and studios became scarce and unaffordable. Right now, because of present oversupply, a studio affordable to someone making 60% of median rents for the same as market rate.
September 29, 2026 at 6:22 PM
Strauss asks the OH director if they've stopped funding smaller units or "have you changed entirely to famiiy-sized units at this time." Switching to ALL larger apartments would obviously make it much harder for people without kids to find one-bedrooms. Studios are currently overbuilt.

There still is hope:

- Chrome 154 allows scroll-marker- group mode switching between links (default) and tabs.

- Applying aria-current to the active marker is resolved (but is stuck on no css-aam spec existing 😢)

- CSSPseudoElement in JS is a thing nowadays (but could use more functionality 😕)

Can I speedrun having no ads on my stream by being as weird as possible within ToS?

Yeah, I'm switching back to preroll ads. If you want to support a bunny I have Kofi.

And my Vgen for commissions is in my pinned message.
CEO Dan Clancy says Twitch now uses AI to identify streamers that may not match a brand, since it now transcribes all streams for brand safety.

It won't show ads on channels or content the AI believes don't match what the advertiser is trying to achieve.

Google's internal motto used to be "Don't be evil."

Now it seems to be "Don't stop being evil."

I used to be a huge fan of Google's products. I'm now working on taking everything out of my drive and switching my email accounts. I've already gotten off Chrome and I'm using alternate office apps.

switching from mono to stereo mode didn't help either :/
