If you're running up against the "legally, he had to return it" argument, the FTC disagrees:

<<
**Your Rights When You Get Unordered Merchandise**

By law, companies can’t send unordered merchandise to you, then demand payment. That means you never have to pay for things you get but didn’t order. You also don’t need to return unordered merchandise. You’re legally entitled to keep it as a free gift.

If you're an "A.I" desinger or engineer who genuinely believes your work will be or is already "conscious" in a "human-like" way, then the first thing imma need you to do tomorrow is teach it not to cross the picket line 🤷🏾‍♂️

GoToSocial (so far) has been trying to maintain compatibility with the Mastodon API, to maximize the number of clients compatible with our ActivityPub server implementation. The Mastodon "base" API implementation is still underway (e.g. we're missing lists), but we have been aware of the fact that maintaining API compatibility with all future features would forever have us in a state of "catch-up".

Given recent announcements about the direction that Mastodon development is being taken, and our own fears about the future of the Mastodon project, we are declaring a cut-off point. GoToSocial will only be attempting to maintain Mastodon API compatibility up to the current stable version, that is, v4.1.2.

Now this does not mean that we will never implement future features of Mastodon, it just gives us more flexibility in exactly what and how we implement things, especially when it comes to the more ethically complex ones (looking at you, search!).

* Make software that works on older devices, the older the better.
* Make software that will keep on working for a very long time.
* Make software that uses the least amount of total energy to achieve its results.
* Make software that also uses the least amount of network data transfer, memory and storage.
* Make software that encourages the user to use it in a frugal way.

So, since JoinMastodon.org has decided to change the way servers are listed on their website — showing preference for large servers who do not have a manual review process to join —>

I'm Raptor, a disabled photographer. My family really needs food. We're down to our last loaf of bread and carton of milk. I'm desperate to get a power assist for my wheelchair as my mobility is worsening, and I'm a fall risk, but new symptoms in my arms make it increasingly difficult to use my chair.

The assist is $250 & I'm hoping for 200 for food. Any amount helps, & I have prints of my work available too, currently 20% off!

Snuggle your loved ones, folks. You only get so many opportunities before you don't.

When the QE2 stuff was going on, someone said something like "If you want your country to have an official nice old lady to sometimes take to the air and talk in wise and comforting ways like a public grandma, you can do that without giving her monarchical power" and that messed vee up so much because that'd actually be really really awesome.

would "sealion" make a good substitute for "blondes" in jokes about intelligence? make fun of how they keep asking questions but never seem to learn anything from them
