Japanese question: in an episode of Boyfriend, someone is described as a リッチネイチャー. I can't find any references anywhere to what that means (I can get "rich" and "nature"). When I checked the English subtitles it was translated as "quirker", which isn't a word I know in English either 😂. Maybe someone who is quirky?

Tempted to post about politics, so have some cat pics instead:

RSS never tracked you.
Email never throttled you.
Blogs never begged for dopamine.
The old web wasn’t perfect.
But it was yours.

Do you love Lucy?

i know it’s almost certainly more complicated than this… but i do think it’s weird that immediately after TikTok finally changed hands i started getting military propaganda on my fyp for the first time

I despise how security updates are
bundled with feature updates.

Now we have to choose between risking getting malware from random criminal gangs when refusing to update, or getting embedded malware from the tech company itself that comes with their update.

And honestly at this point, I'm not sure which is worse.

Anyone with a #cheatsheet for the #fediverse?

We are looking for #tutorials or guides to help cultural organizations planning their social media presence on the fediverse. :)

For example: an organization has a social media manager and wants to switch from corporate social media to decentralized ones. How to restructure such workflows in the fediverse? Mastodon or pixefed? Both accounts?

Are there some examples of best practices?

Alex Pretti's last words were "are you ok?" to the woman he was trying to help off the ground after she was maced and shoved down into the ice.

He died trying to protect someone.

Renee Good's last words were "I'm not mad at you, dude." She died trying to protect her neighbors.

They died keeping people safe, without so much as raising a hand in violence. They are American heroes.

What does that make of the men who killed them?

Hearts Cold As ICE 💔

A couple more simple ways to help push back against ICE's reign of terror:

Call your congresscritters! The DHS appropriations bill has passed the House and is heading to the Senate this week, so for your senators be sure to emphasize defunding ICE.

It always makes me sad when another fedi user - and, in my experience, it is always a woman - says that they feel unsafe posting here, because of replies they get.

Control over who can reply to a toot would be amazing, as a way to improve this without them needing to mute or block post-harm.

"A reminder to the news media: 'conflicting accounts' is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth."

> The A in AGI stands for Ads! It's all ads!! Ads that you can't even block because they are BAKED into the streamed probabilistic word selector purposefully skewed to output the highest bidder's marketing copy.

This is another huge reason I refuse to "build skills" around LLMs. The models everyone points to as being worthwhile are either not public or prohibitively expensive to run locally, so incorporating them into my workflow means I'd be making my core thought processes very vulnerable to enshittification.

Been rearranging my office and the place that I record from. My orchid wall has been banished to the family room and that gave me a nice corner to point into.

i was playing half life 1 the other day and i cant believe it took me like 25 years to notice that when you're in `thirdperson` mode, you can see that when gordon dies, the 'beep beep beeeep' sound effect is emitted from him, so his mouth moves as if he is saying it. while lying dead on the ground. his final words

Fucking wild to me that Pro-LLM people will pretend not to understand the difference between a person torrenting Dr Who to watch and the richest corporations on the planet hoovering up all information to feed into plagiarism machines.

Remember Aaron♥️

Episode 1 of “you and I are polar opposites” was incredibly cute. I’m looking forward to the rest of this show

I think I might want to set up a distributed network. I'm technically capable but I need to pick a team to get started. If you have opinions you'd be willing to share. I'd love to hear them. #meshtastic #meshcore

I wrote about Alex Pretti's death, asking a specific question: What is the point? https://www.ms.now/opinion/minneapolis-shooting-alex-pretti-renee-good-border-patrol-ice-trump

​​​​

Dear Journalists,

If a government official gives a statement that is easily disproven by multiple angles of high quality video, it is ok, encouraged even, to call them out on it in real time. That's called doing a journalism.

Secondly, although you all work for different media outlets, there is no reason why you can't sort of 'team up' and keep pressing the issue rather than letting them wriggle out by completely changing the line of questioning. This is also known as doing a Journalism.

Thanks!

@catsaladCat 🐈🥗 (D.Burch) ⁠ Baby Pomp is a master mealtime gaslighter

A quick reminder that the size of people’s bodies or body parts have no bearing on anything other than themselves. Someone’s thinness or fatness tells you nothing except their size, and commentary otherwise is rooted in white supremacy’s manifestations of ableism and fatphobia.

Similarly, attributing character traits to the size of someone’s penis has weird misogynist roots and small penis jibes often contain a dose of ableist and transphobic punching down.

Do better, please. #JusticePraxis

This issue would tend to indicate that, because I didn't get it right on the first try, I can never use did:web:nora.codes again.

Unserious software. I can't believe people fell for their nonsense.

Oh and don't forget to
- already have your own hosting set up
- know how to set CORS headers
- know how to debug any of this when it inevitably fails

the only place the *working* process is documented is in a comment on a GitHub issue: https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/issues/2100

but there are many blog posts that tell you how to do it wrong!

Ich habe gerade die beiden 128GB SD Karten, gefüllt mit den Videoaufnahmen von meiner Radreise 2024 nach Ostrava zur Eishockey Weltmeisterschaft wiedergefunden 🙈

Wer mag mir aus diesen ca. 500 kurzen Videos eins bauen (ohne groß schneiden) 😬

지난 토요일 갔던 티알... 내 탁의 탐사자들이 너무 조심스러워서 이대로는 중요한 루트 한가지가 제대로 소개해보지도 못하고 배제될 것 같아서.. 이미 한 번 개변허긴 했지만 또 개변해야지. 이벤트를 탐사자들이 보게되길 기다리는건 너무 수동적이야. 이벤트가 탐사자들에게 간다.
