"Only ten percent [of over 5,000 US adults] said they were "more excited than concerned," indicating that most Americans simply do not share the extremely optimistic views of tech leaders selling AI products."
I was too busy with the Django 6.0 feature freeze and alpha release to toot yesterday, but 34 years ago Use Your Illusion I and II dropped.
Today, while finishing Django post-release tasks, I listened to these albums again. Still hitting hard!

總見唔少人會用「我得、你都得」去鼓勵人，但佢地忽視咗自己嘅某啲條件來得比其他人優越，例如家境、出生地、智力等等因素，而忽視咗自己其實係極為幸運嘅一班人。
甩藥之後同某啲以前嘅病友傾偈，佢地讚我好叻，我一直都唔覺得自己特別叻，因為我覺得有更多係幸運，幸運地有嗰股想活落去嘅硬頸、覺得可以有一百個死去嘅理由而唔想係呢個原因，先慢慢走到出嚟。
期間當然付出咗好多努力，但我真係無法將呢一切歸功於自己嘅努力，因為好多撐唔住嘅佢地分分鐘比我更努力，佢地同我之間嘅差異可能就係爭嗰少少嘅幸運，有啲嘢真係不由人可控制，有時諗返起某啲人我都仍然好難過。
承認自己嘅幸運唔等同否定付出咗嘅努力，係懷住感恩嘅心去珍惜唔係理所當然嘅幸福。當明白所擁有嘅並唔係理所當然嘅時候，會更加容易對某啲唔理解嘅事物心生慈悲。

This is my first "official" Mastodon-style quote-post.
Although, quote-posting has existed on the Fediverse for years now — on Misskey, on all the Misskey forks (ex: Firefish), on Pleroma, on the Pleroma forks (ex: Akkoma), on Mitra, on Hollo, on Friendica, etc.
Plus, people have been doing screen-shot style quote-posts on Mastodon (and other places on the Fediverse), too, for years.
@reiver@reiver ⊼ (Charles) 
yeah on Friendica it was called "quote share". Took me forever to realize not every ActivityPub option had that. But then again I still can't interact with polls here so we're even 😆@reiver@reiver ⊼ (Charles) yeah they wrap that link in a quote class and I guess quote aware clients avoid rendering it (I still do along with the quote)
Here are mitra and akkoma quotes for comparison . Mitra is now using the same api as mastodon but akkoma was already using that same quote field to hold the quoted post, so mastodon introduced a breaking change for clients reading that

The mob of people jumping in replies to criticize or name other products each time Signal is being mentioned is becoming ridiculous.
Stop. Doing. That.
You are not helping. This is rude.
And in some cases, you are mansplaining.
Write whatever you wish in your own posts, but please respect what others want to talk about.
This isn't always about you. You can just stay silent and pass by when you disagree.

The GitHub developers have evidently never tried to use their fancy new react interface over a mobile connection on a train.
FreeBSD's top(1) utility displays CPU statistics by default.
To display I/O activity for each process instead, run top like this:

OK, here it is, the snippet of video that has Trumpland soiling their pants, the clip so shocking that ABC ousted Kimmel rather than face the legally impossible battle of defending what he said (ht 
@heluechtMichael 🇺🇦):
To state the obvious: this is bland stuff, clearly protected by the 1A and so very far within the bounds of what a non-authoritarian FCC would allow that it’s just comical. Kimmel is about as controversial as a goldfish here. They aren’t serious about it being a problem; the whole •point• is that it’s obviously •not• a problem.
They are using something extremely benign to test the waters of government repression of speech, to see just how much they can get away with — and ABC caved like 3rd-grade toothpick bridge.
