By appropriating the sparkle symbol to represent AI-powered features, tech companies want you to think AI is magic ✨. Critics and skeptics alike should push back against this trend and embrace alternative imagery. Here are two ideas I have in mind:
1. 🖐️ with six digits – a nod to AI’s almost comical inability to render human hands correctly
2. 🔴 – the iconic red eye of HAL 9000, the unhinged AI supercomputer from "2001: A Space Odyssey"

Harvard did not act quickly. But it acted clearly. That clarity must be contagious. Because unless every university in America is ready to say no to federal ideological coercion, this moment will not be a line in the sand. It will be a footnote in the obituary of academic freedom.

have you ever wondered why almost all computer fonts draw the lowercase A differently to how pretty much everyone writes it? the answer is simple - alan turing, inventor of the computer, had never seen the latin alphabet before and had it described to him over a phone call while he was making windows 1.0
he later tried to fix his mistake with @, but failed to recognise that there's not supposed to be a giant circle around the letter
by the time people realised that it was kind of hard to read words like "Ill" because the capital I looked like lowercase L, it was too late - the internet was already set in stone, and there was no going back

Conserned Citizen
SUBJECT: it was YOU
i've have been trying for MOTHS to track down who made the lowercase lettre a in ALL the fonts have that STUPID EFFING DESIGN (sorry for course language). who in ever in history has wrote a letter a with a SWOOPSH CURVE ON TOP. loteraly NEVER!
then i found your "unicode" that aparently tells all the fonts how to make characters. its your JOBS to make the letters in english and french and so on. and guess what? you have all been preocupied with adding SUCHI EMOJIS 🍣🍥🍜🍙 instead of fixing the leter a (literally the FIRST letter in the intire alphabet).
and you know whata even worse? look at this: @ the email symbol. it has a NIRMAL A INSIDE OF IT!!! it you take the circle off the outside it is the correct letter! ADD THE EMAIL SYBOL @ WITHOUT THE CIRCLE TO UNICODE SO WE CAN MOVE PASSED THIS CATEGORICAL ERROR. i will even comunicate in emoji language since that is apparently all you can understand: @ ➖ ⭕ 🟰 👍
how am i suposed to explain to my son that the phone has has a WRONG letter in it? this has needs to be fixed UGENTLY.
p.s. fhank you for making "arial" in microsoft word. apart from ONE GLARING ISUE (I WONDER WHAT THAT COULD BE) it is a very nice font. i have sent this email from out look using "arial" as a sing of my appreciation .

Here's "proof" that the 2024 election was hacked that is every bit as rigorous as some of the stuff I'm seeing:
- There are ~150 million people eligible to be US president. The odds that any one of them will be elected are therefore 1 in 150,000,000, roughly the same as winning the lottery.
- Donald Trump was elected not once but TWICE. The odds of that happening are less than 1 in 20 quadrillion!
- This also proves elections were hacked for Obama, Bush, Clinton, and Lincoln, among others.
@phirejenny (phire) I don't think so... boosting onwards in case a web platform sage or mage knows otherwise
Working on a big #pixelfed app update with a few improvements and a new feature or two!

As a team of New York Times reporters notes today, the ruthless authoritarian regime that Trump has set into motion following Project 2025, with its total denial of rights and due process for people rounded up and shipped to hellhole foreign prisons, affords prisoners fewer rights than they had in World War II US internment camps.

Hello, friends. I've been known as "Newfangled" on Twitch and just did a re-brand of my channel. It's now called "Positive Notes" which is the name of both the channel and the show.
I'm no longer calling myself "Newfangled", but using my first given name (Dallin) as the host of my new show. So I figured I'd stop using my Newfangled account over on Universeodon and start using this account that I've had for a while but never used much.
I have been using Mastodon for years across various servers and accounts and really enjoy it. It's how social media is supposed to be. The #fediverse is amazing.
I love #music. Listening, playing musical instruments, and sharing. On my #Twitch program I share good music from my collection and good messages and stories to bring a little joy into people's lives.
I am also interested in #technology, #retro things, and #reading.
Lately I have been renewing my interest in #DigitalMinimalism and #offline things.
I am a #Christian, a disciple of Jesus Christ. I try (I fail, but I try) to emulate him - the perfect example of love, kindness, and charity.
I am interested in #nonviolence and #peacebuilding.
Fred Rogers is a personal hero and role model of mine.

차별금지법으로 한창 얘기가 나오는 동안, 여성시대 등 터프 세력에서는 '차별금지법 찬성 및 일부 보완 요청'이라는 청원을 올렸는데, 내용은 바로 '성별정체성을 빼달라'라는 내용이었습니다. 하나라도 빠지면 혐오의 대상이 되게 됩니다. 차별을 조장하는 법이 되지요.
