Utility bicycling, playing cards, and grumpy shitposts. Transphobes and fascists can get wrecked.
The world is on fire and we should try to save some of it before there's nothing but ashes.

It’s equal parts invigorating and depressing to watch Mamdani’s progress. It’s like, all those things they claimed “can’t be done” or “are too hard/impossible” actually are doable. Which means that all the other politicians are not doing them as a *choice*. Which I kind of knew already but Mamdani draws a line under it.
the weird bit about all this ed sheerhan stuff is I've realized I cannot name a single song by him. I've seen him in stuff, but I don't know a single one of his songs.
I have played this and it is clever. I also found it extremely provocative as a game designer. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lunarpunkgames/colorjam

Orange Shirt Day is kind of exciting for kids, like a holiday. It’s weird, tonally. I don’t know that you can have a day off and not have it end up that way.
This is my tiny hill I will die on.
If you ignore the ethical and moral issues around the training data used by “AI”, there’s still the environmental issues. If you ignore the environmental issues, there’s still the social and societal issues. If you ignore the social and societal issues, there’s still the financial issues. If you ignore the financial issues, there’s still the technical limitations. If you ignore the technical limitations…
People used to ask us why we moved to Canada, and not the USA. At some point, they stopped.
please help me! im in a real jam at the moment, just completely stuck in between a rock hard slice of bread and another slice of bread.
my scotch neat, and
my bicycle mixte
If a prop guillotine scares you as a symbol, you’re probably a bad guy.
Google+’s “circles” was one of the best implementations of the idea of limited audience posting
What’s good for the Michigoose is good for the Michigander
The taboo regarding food and bathrooms is so strong that I felt a little bit gross throwing away a food wrapper in the bathroom bin just now. To be clear, the food was gone, this was just trash, and still I had a twinge of “eww, food in the bathroom”
@McWabbit Posting without alt text is giving permission for others to take your stuff without attribution as far as I’m concerned…

@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energy what is going on with that wall in the background and are they allowed to climb on it?
It’s pretty funny that the AI is generating human comfort programming languages instead of machine code or at least something lower level than Python and typescript or whatever. I guess that’s where the training data is.
We put a small table next to our front door back in October for a bowl of Halloween candy and we haven’t moved the table because it’s actually super nice to have a table height surface to place things on while you’re unlocking the door
I would bet dollars to donuts that if you tried to erect a sign that said “Liberty and Justice For All” there would be an uproar about it being too woke, even though it’s from the Pledge of Allegiance
My hometown had a whole small town drama about them putting up some “All Are Welcome” signs and the local fascists not liking that.

@TheBreadmonkey@beige.party @maxleibman@beige.party What! How dare you be outraged about this thing, when there’s another wholly distinct and unrelated thing to be outraged about that you didn’t even mention in your post!

@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io Public speaking is like this too. I put the smallest amount of effort into improving my public speaking back in High School and it has continued to yield dividends throughout my life.

@villasbc@mastodon.social @Anibyl@social.coop I wasn’t looking for Canadian companies in particular just ones that trade on tsx. I should look into those. I didn’t realize they existed.

@ixtlidekami I was putting everything in one folder back in the windows 3 era. Admittedly, I was a literal child. But I still do it now. Looking at how cloud storage like s3 and GCS work, I was just ahead of the times.

@hagen@mastodon.social @afewbugs@social.coop Yeah I think local library is about the right scale for hosting.

@grumpy@grumpys.online My understanding is that humans using these tools aren’t parsing it. We’ve got LLMs generating inefficient code because that’s what they were trained on. It’s just a real dumb state of affairs. Back in the day the algorithmic computing department was excited about computer generated code because of its potential efficiencies, but we’ve taken a worse path.

@maketvee@leds.social It would be fun to have use a compass to keep a pattern rotational stable (eg, even if you turn around the same part is facing North)

@bw@social.lol It’s seldom that I will do every possible interaction with one single toot: boost, favourite, comment, AND bookmark, but here we are.

@BrentToderian@mastodon.online I've visited the Hovenring quite by accident. I was surprised that it is kind of on the outskirts of the city in a more car-centric area of development. Such a gorgeous piece of design, I just assumed it would something showcased near the centre of a city.

@kev@mcr.wtf Yeah, my partner is an editor by profession and has explained this to me: “Yeah, they are annoying, but they help you fill the space.”

@jessta@aus.social @BrentToderian@mastodon.online Yep, and that's the case here. It makes sense when you think about it. But it's also surprising to see such a landmark infrastructure project be... tucked out of the way.

@cstross I think twtr.plus is a service that shows Twitter uses on ActivityPub/Mastodon. So it's probably not that somebody set it up to maliciously impersonate you, but rather than because you were an active/notable Twitterer, someone wanted to see your tweets here.

@tante@tldr.nettime.org There’s some truth to that, but maybe there’s more nuance? I think a lot of the work that could be automated through “AI” is what I’d call “white collar drudgery” — mindless repetitive computer tasks. I don’t think it’s a lack of respect for people stuck doing such boring work to say that work could be automated.
Somebody on here (I think!) showed off an app they made for MacOS for doing digital collage. Is this you? Do you know who it is? I have a Mac in the house now and I wanna check it out.
Is there a way to invest in stuff like solar and enhanced geothermal on a broad level in Canada? Like, aside from my morals they just seem like good bets. I want something fairly broad but more targeted than your typical etf

I’m sure it’s been done/tried, since this isn’t a groundbreaking idea, and there must be some reason it isn’t used or isn’t effective. (2/2)
