All the people they laid off, but here’s a guy who, to my knowledge, is just a VC tech kid and not an expert, who openly follows a “philosopher” who blatantly believes _Black people are not as smart as white people_ and they can’t wait to hire him. Gee, what group of people were hit hardest by layoffs again? I am beyond disgusted by this. I have to go practice whatever shit I learned in therapy to calm down. Every single person they laid off is worth ten of this racist venture capital fuck.

The biggest mistake I have made as a creator is letting my ego, my ambition and the shallowness of social media convince me that I had an "Audience" instead of a network. It's a self centred worldview that strips the humanity out of the folks around us. We end up treating people like numbers and vanity metrics. That's just bulls**t.

Everyone: AI is the future, let’s gooooo Open ai: not so fast, hold my beer

Is there an #opensource backed standard for annotating others’ webpages? I’m thinking specifically being able to tag others’ sites with #IndieWeb h-cards (eg. Adding machine readable event tags to pages like this: https://www.ewanbleach.com/events) or something more fancy, like letting me attach (#ipvm runnable?) WASM to that page that will extract an iCal file. I want to make microformats and standard metadata more available without everyone having to get on board.

These people can't even run a company competently but think they can create an AI that is smarter than humans and control it? This is some Jurassic Park level hubris.

I had a Captcha today that had ai generated images - this is not new. But the prompt was also clearly ai generated, as it made zero grammatical sense. Refreshing the page was the only option, as refreshing the captcha gave the same prompt with different images. How is solving problems a computer can solve far easier than a human a good way to determine the user isn’t a computer?

Being an adult is just saying ‘Things will slow down next week’ to each other until you die

So the thing I don't get about tumblr is why it's so strict on anything remotely sexual, yet happily broadcasts and pushes ads with graphic violent content of people being shot in a video game. To me, I find violence 100x worse for society than something mildly sexually explicit. It's deeply saddening just how normalised violence is in our society, but sex is so taboo.

You know what? Fuck billionaire tech-boys and the toys they develop that continue to ravage the world and heighten inequity and fill our society with the dangerous detritus of their little boy egos. #InAMood

Really love how David Tennant is so supportive of his non-binary kid, and generally how open and vocal he is on the issues affecting minorities and marginalized communities. Plus, his no bs take here is pretty spot on in regards to how the word "woke" is being used as an insult to ridicule what is essentially just giving a damn about other people. "It makes me so angry, the way they weaponised this idea of, that, that being asleep is something to aspire to [...] It makes me furious that they should have a minister who would encourage you not to have a crumb of empathy, not to think about what it might be to live so somebody else’s experience." 🔗https://www.thenational.scot/news/23932700.david-tennant-releases-anger-tories-last-leg-live-rant/ #DavidTennant #DoctorWho #DrWho #lgbtq

If you ever see a single person bitching about sex workers advertising on mastodon with the premise that it's "meant to be an ad free space" please tear them a new one. The circle of safe social media platforms for sex workers keeps growing smaller, mastodon may be one of the only places we have left. Please don't kick us out too.
