Feeling overwhelmed and like some things are just meaningless, but I got a short little walk in for my stupid mental health. The sun felt good at least.

Which one are you using? Or is it a new one you've built?

If you're looking for an answer, I seem to remember initial test screenings finding him far too quiet to make out, so they did some re-recordings + made him louder but then it sounds a bit off 🤷🏽♂️
Stop defending companies as if they're people in 2024. I'm begging you please. Just because the government treats them with personhood doesn't mean you have to. Legality of a concept does not equate to its morality. Edit: I was not asking for peoples' opinion on corporate personhood. This was some of y'all first interaction with me so imma add a disclaimer (and reminder to read): "legality of a concept does not equate to its morality". Meaning even with laws of personhood, people aren't considered HUMANS. Closest to a measurable object by which the law is prejudiously applied to. I swear, the first feature I'm making for my site when I add AP support is disabling replies.
Disney are churning out content based on their IP, yet no more “Well known stories acted by muppets and a single human.” I think we all agree this is the best genre of movie.
Who running Mastodon dot social could possibly imagine that having unrestricted sign-ups and far too few volunteer or paid admins could possibly lead to waves of spam? This whole "internet" thing certainly does not contain any precedents for this sort of behavior or problems of scale. Gotta re-learn everything, every time.
I had a thing yesterday where a mutual made a joke that was likely supposed to be lewd. Someone replied with a follow up joke. I had another joke to that reply and I was typing it up and then I was like “wait, just because this person is telling a sexual joke does not actually mean they want one in response. Being mutuals does not mean I have carte blanche. Don’t be a weirdo” Thought it might be useful to read. Just because someone does something doesn’t mean you can also do it. And being mutuals doesn’t mean there aren’t boundaries. And at the end of the day, is the joke you’re thinking of saying even that funny? Probably not.

The best way to learn something is to teach it to someone. I practice this in small ways by recapping people’s explanations of how something works in meetings and document reviews.
Today is John Mastodon Day: On this day one year ago, a journalist misunderstood some facts and created the person of “John Mastodon” out of them (https://web.archive.org/web/20221216232836/https://www.mediaite.com/opinion/hypocrisy-and-fear-all-the-way-down-at-twitter). That day, the Fediverse got a new meme, a patron saint and a running gag at the same time. Let us all celebrate it! #JohnMastodonDay #JohnMastodon #Fediverse

there’s something really weird in tech about the number of people who will in complete sincerely say, the answer came to me in a dream or in the shower, when they should also visibly be getting more sleep and showering more often
Trump: I will 100-fucking percent be a dictator. GOP: Trump is not a dictator 🙄 Trump: No seriously I'm already planning on killing my enemies and I will kill you too. New York Times: Can Trump really be as nice and friendly as he seems.

How is this year about to end already?! How are we so close to Christmas?! 😳😳😳
tech is dominated by cis white dudes, and tech blogs more so. in more specialized domains (like accessibility), it's even worse. when writing my last blog post, 90% of the resources i linked to were written by white dudes. if you're part of a group that's underrepresented in tech, i would love to see your blog. if you don't have one, consider starting one (i can help!)
OpenAI suspends ByteDance’s account after it used GPT to train its own AI model: Isn't it hypocritical to use the copyrighted work of others without permission but deny others the same opportunity? OpenAI scraped the entire Internet but is now acting holier than thou. https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/15/24003542/openai-suspends-bytedances-account-after-it-used-gpt-to-train-its-own-ai-model OpenAI can train on various data types such as text, images, books & videos without permission, but competitors can not access it once it's in their system. So, yes, it is a problematic version of copyright
So fittingly described by @aral@mastodon.ar.al what's wrong with the Term of User: The Big Web has “users” – a term Silicon Valley has borrowed from drug dealers to describe the people they addict to their services and exploit.

Okay I said I wasn’t bothered at all by the outcome but, I am starting to feel quite I don’t know, strange? My weak ability to notice my own emotions due to autism is complicating my ability to know how I feel about that lol
I want to do a dramatic reading of my Autism report when it’s done and sent to me next weekish

As a "clean as you go" person, I'm firmly of the opinion that tech debt tickets are a good way to ensure tech debt never gets cleaned up.
Been thinking about autism a lot lately, and how my autism explains so much about my life and my relationships in retrospect. It's like I kept looking at things as this chaotic explosions of interactions and suddenly shifted my perspective and everything lines up in a way that makes sense.
