Going through all of this junk mail, especially the probably 8 to 10 political postcards we got, I’m absolutely shocked at how much paper must be wasted around the country and world each day. Eventually we will run out of trees, and for what?

I am no more worried about AI killing us all than I am any of the other thousands upon thousands of things that could potentially kill us at any given moment. I’m just going to continue living my life the best way I know how and refuse to live in fear. I am also not going to change in the slightest the ways in which I use AI.

Also, how do I suppress duplicate reposts? I don’t care that seven people on my timeline posted the same thing. I just want to see it once.

My initial impressions are that I really like FastSMRW. I really need push notifications, so I am keeping Mona around until those are implemented. I would also like the ability to mute certain hashtags or keywords. For some reason, I get an error when I try to quotea post. It’s not an error message, it’s just an error sound and the post doesn’t go through.

Hey guys! Hope you are all doing well. I should be around more this weekend. Work and life have been busy, but good. Hope you are all doing well. On the software front, I’m going to do one more test install of windows on my virtual machine program, and if that goes well, I should have a beta to share with you all soon. I truly apologize that this has taken longer than I hoped, but my goal is to give you something solid and usable and not full of bugs. Since I am coding with AI, I feel the need t...

I did end up staying home because I have a headache. Being raised Catholic, I feel terribly guilty about this, but going to church is not what saves me.

I am so confused because Dusty smells a bit skunky, and yet he is not wet, wouldn’t he be wet if he had been sprayed?

For virtualizing windows on the Mac, would you recommend Parallels, VMware fusion, or something else? Please tell me your choice and the reasons for it.

I realize that irrational hatred of AI is very popular right now, but as human beings who are supposedly capable of great empathy, one lesson we can learn from AI is to be kind and respectful in our answers to people’s questions, no matter how basic or complex the questions may be.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@danyork/116511753802210926 This makes me so angry, and I would fight this tooth and nail if I needed to go into a shop that had this sign. My Meta glasses are a disability related accommodation, one I am providing for myself at zero cost to the business. They are going to get sued by someone, and if it costs them everything and they go under, serves them right.

Hope everyone is doing well. Happy new Harry Potter day. I’m not sure if I’m going to start that right away or continue with for all mankind. I am already almost 1/3 of the way through season two.

The very sad thing that I won’t mention towards the end of order of the Phoenix just happened. I thought I was ready. I was not. I cried rather more than I expected to.

Yes, yes we are putting the air-conditioning on in March, because we work too hard to be uncomfortable. It is 85° outside. Tonight‘s low will be 35. Obviously we will be putting the heat on tonight. Then we’ll sit here and wonder why everybody is getting sick.

Besides church responsibilities, it’s been a very lazy Sunday, which I very much needed. I have an extremely busy couple of weeks coming up at work, including travel. The TSA situation is making me nervous. I just hope I can get to DC and back on time. I have plans with friends the day I get in, and Easter responsibilities after I get back.

Can the AI haters give it a rest already? Yes, I know there are concerns, but as a person with a disability, if I didn’t use every tool that was out there because I had concerns about it, I wouldn’t use anything. All this AI hatred is just cutting off our nose to spite our face.
