  I wonder what the first accidental [edit: non-military] mass casualty event caused by "ai" will be. Errant bombing? Collapsed bridge? Drinking water poisoning? Mass highway pileup? There's probably a polymarket bet for this. The longer we let this go on the higher the stakes will be.

  Isn't it great that even grapheneOS will now contain code generated from a prompt like: "make this SUPER HACK PROOF! Do not make a mistake!"? I know I feel safe.

  I have decided to shut down my #mastodon instance, and all my public facing web services. This will happen in 3 months time, on November 29, 2026, to allow everyone to backup and migrate. The reason for this is that I can no longer trust: - the #Linux kernel - #Debian - rails - most #Foss projects Additionally, I'm basically out of storage, it is unaffordable to purchase more, and no one is interested in donating to help. Our bastion of free computing has been poisoned by fascist gen...

  We gave up incandescent light bulbs for the sake of energy efficiency, yet we allow #LLMs to exist. Sure. The entertainment industry must retire countless thousands of fresnels, parnels, pars, lekos... because no one manufactures the incandescent lamps they require, yet we allow LLMs to exist. Cool fuckin' trade, bro.

  Question for my #MECFS #LongCovid folk... If you lost excessive muscle mass, were you ever able to get it back? What worked for you?

  Hi, I'm Sean. I'm from the oldest incorporated city in so-called #canada, #SaintJohn - home of the #irving empire. I am an iconoclast - staunchly #antifascist, #antiracist, #anticapitalist, somewhere on the #autism spectrum, and 3 years into punishing #LongCovid. #WearAMask!!! I've worked the last decade as #HeadOfSound at a beautiful heritage #theatre. Before that I was in #tech for a decade doing #development and #reverseEngineering. I've also worked in #electronics and oth...

  What is the difference between "suspend" and "reject" in the context of account moderation via the web interface? #mastoAdmin I'm thinking reject sends a rejection email while suspend is silent?

  @GiftArticles@tomkahe.com Its almost like businesses and the media don't want people to know about #TheFediverse... Oh, sure, this faux-federated, digital ID-gated company owned service will work, though. It'll be ethical this time. Truely ethical ads. Truely ethical surveillance capitalism. Truely "canadian" infrastructure that will mysteriously not work when its us equivalent goes offline. Sure. How much does the AT infra cost agiain? Great job, y'all.

  Just now discovering the power and versatility of #diminished chords. Wow! Interestingly, if you pick a diminished chord, you will find an inversion of that chord by moving 3 frets up or down the neck. The next imbersion is another 3 frets up or down. If you pick any diminished chord at random, you have a 1 in 3 shot of it being the correct one.

  @ShadowJonathan@tech.lgbt I've never identified so closely to a character from a book as I have with Case Pollard of William Gibson's Pattern Recognition - a character defined by her "allergy" to advertising.

  One of my favourite features of the #fediverse is seeing people *learning things*. There are so many folks here discovering dying arts and trades. People learning how the things we take for granted work, and endeavouring to implement them themselves! People getting their #HAMradio licenses, #selfhosting, making clothing, blacksmithing, gardening, repairing their own things, backporting modern software to run on windows 3.11... Y'all are my people. Never stop learning, and never stop s...

  I mean... Douglas Adams wrote about this exact scenario in 1978, though his bit was telephone sanitisers: "Critics report that the Trump administration drastically cut back on the CDC Vessel Sanitation Program by firing all full-time inspectors who inspect cruise ships for outbreaks, and that this is now causing problems with the Hantavirus outbreak." https://reportersonline.eu/trump-day-472-fbi-uses-ai-to-prioritize-tips-searches-office-of-democrat-who-recently-led-redistricting-eff...
