  Grouchy week Doible vaccinated Friday AM Overnight a fucken mosquito bit me what looks like THREE TIMES around the injection sites Days later I look like something has smashed me in the arm. I often react very badly to them, this just takes the piss. Make it stop (it's not going to stop, there's more of them here now and later in the year - #ClimateChange) #ow #VaccinesSaveLives 🖕 🦟

  "Recently unsealed court documents in the New York Times’ case against OpenAI and Microsoft are pretty damning. The companies’ own documentation warned that it was starting a “doom loop” that would damage the web, characterized its scraping of data to train its models as the “largest theft of labor in human history,” and that it made a “complete mockery of the idea of fair use.” " Awesome stuff. https://mastodon.social/@verge/117294115174360371

  Oh shut the fuck up Ben Goldacre and anyone else chastising people for celebrating or merely not being sad about another shitty man's death. Liddle was a horrible, awful person who did real harm to people. He basically openly admitted he was a paedophile in a publication that never even retracted it. Maybe before you demand other people don't insult the dead, take a look at yourself and make sure you're not doing things people will abhor while you're alive and bring up when you...

  Love 2 spiral into a physical self-hate spiral right before travelling But that's kind of inevitable with beachy/swim things. As a female person. With a body that's changed a lot. In a world that polices us at every fucking turn whatever we do, especially as we get older and take up more space. And a loud voice in my head telling me how disgusting, lazy and useless I am. Cool stuff.

  No, Slack, I do not want to use your fucking Slackbot or 'ask it anything'. I barely use this app, it's just for a volunteering thing, I'm not a programmer and don't need it for work (though it exists it's mostly just for the IT/Web teams). Sigh. Stop putting AI in fucking everything. #AIslop #noToAI #NoGenAI

  Hi British people Did you get a job abroad (after Brexit) and move? How difficult was it? Is your area particularly in demand, did you feel outcompeted by 'the locals', what do you think got you over the line..? It all feels impossible to me. Why would anyone want to hire an insular (mostly) mono-lingual Brit who needs a visa when they could just... Not? Sigh. Boosts appreciated! #brexshit #advice #EU #EUjobs

  Songkick user? Maybe delete that account. They've been bought by AI 'music' co Suno and are moving all their data to the patent company. 🚮 #genAI #AIslop #genAIslop #noToAI #music #songkick #suno

  EE absolutely fleecing my mum. She has a mobile rolling thing, but that charges her 20p for calls, if not 20p/min i dont know, it's hard to talk to her. She moved from Plusnet to EE broadband And they haven't integrated those services So she's lost the free evening/weekend landline calls too, paying for them both on landline and mobile. She should have an unlimited minutes and texts mobile plan Fuck these people who see ignorant old folks and just rinse them #ee #mobi...

  I finished This Is How You Lose the Time War earlier It's good, fun, a romp Easy to get into Quick to read It's a bit over-the-top with the prose at times. But I see why it's a book club choice (I cannot do book clubs, I read at my own pace and it varies massively) But yes, would read 👍 #bookstodon #scifi

  Anyone know what my weird cactus is? It was here, small and upright, dry as a bone, when we moved in. I've since up-potted it and given more care. It's exploded a bit. I worried when it drooped but thinking it's meant to. Is it Trichocereus hahnianus..? https://freakycacti.com/info/droopy-cacti-a-rarer-trichocereus-appreciation/ #cacti #plants #plantID #help #botany #cactus

  This Monday! In that London. No bank holiday evening plans? Enjoy #sciFi and #StarWars? Why not head over to Mercato Mayfair from 7pm (it's £free entry) to grab a drink and nibbles and listen to Ready Singer One belt out some of your faves..? We're London's, if not the UK's, nerdiest choir. See you there?? 🌠 #ReadySingerOne #videoGamesMusic #filmSoundtracks #choir #choralMusic #choralSinging #London #LondonEvents #free

  @andrewstroehlein Yudkowsky? Really? Recommend listening to Behind the Bastards pod on Zizians and maybe they did a more general LessWrong one at some point... Hard to explain in short but https://www.wired.com/story/the-doomers-who-insist-ai-will-kill-us-all/ I'm no AI fan, the opposite. But this guy is poison.

  Please remember, dog people, when it's breeding season (Spring/Summer), there are nesting birds and other wildlife hidden away in the grass, under rocks, behind trees etc. Letting your dog run off-lead through meadows etc is highly disruptive to breeding animals and can kill them. You might not see or realise. Please leash/lead your dog in open and wild spaces. Run with them, stay on trails and pathways as much as possible Please. #dogs #wildlife #nature #spring #leaveNoTrace
