Ton of down reports this morning for TikTok: https://downdetector.com/status/tiktok/
My guess is they were separating US vs. global users because of the new ownership structure and something got messed up
Or Trump could have asked new ownership (led by his close friend Larry Ellison) to temporarily slow down or freeze accounts sharing about Minneapolis

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?
Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis, on January 24. DHS claims he died after an armed struggle, but videos of the incident appears to contradict that claim.

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?

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."

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.
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
