Looking at my busted pair of bluetooth headphones and I'm increasingly tempted to tear them down for parts because they are so anti-repair it's infuriating
Epoxied wires. Epoxied caps over the screws. Cold-soldered surface-mount headphone jacks. I still don't know what the hell self-destructed with the ANC.
🦊 "System" things - things with system in the name - are just inherently funny to us now, in the same way "trans-thing" names are funny.
🐉 next you'll be making some joke about systemd

Idk how “alt text trains AI” started as a Thing People Believe but like: no. Training diffusion/vision models requires annotation work that’s way more involved than even the best alt text out there.
This is why I get so annoying about people being at least somewhat aware of how AI bullshit works so they can tell that “alt text trains AI” is just another variant of “AI is super powerful and will rule over humans”. Tech literacy, people.
The best thing an AI company could do with alt text is maybe use their own model, generate an alt text for a given image and compare against the human-made alt text but like… that’s no excuse to not describe your images.
Thinking about Sachi again.
I'm so happy that Squishy has such a cute mascot

I commissioned Evel of @aldercone to make us some new emoji! They're blobfox but with a tilting head and four different expressions:
These are anti-racism emoji. You're welcome to copy them to your instance, but in doing so you confirm that you do not parcitipate in racism, including anti-Black racism. 
If you do use these emoji, consider throwing Aldercone a tip: https://mastodon.art/@aldercone/111223113751816651
Are you using Shopfy to run the backend of your ecommerce store?
Might be time to start exploring alternatives before they absolutely cook you.

suuuuper important research question
uspol, macabre
I also question the wisdom of angering bases which have a history of hiring hitmen to protect their assets or committing mass shootings
uspol meta
Almost as interesting as watching people realize where single issue voting will get them in the end

It's interesting seeing how people react when political events directly intercept their hobby and make the conversation about them inexorably linked, and they get reminded that games are inherently political
In other news my roommate is behind on rent again and has been eating my food, so I'm relying on the goodwill of my partner Cherry to have grocery money
Thank you hun ;w; love you
I just realized how absurd it is for someone who can't afford to buy gifts to be saving gift bags
The one thing I am grateful to my parents for is raising me to be basically immune to FOMO.
