Blocking anyone posting wojaks, mspaint or virgin/chad memes on sight. Zero tolerance for fash channer bullshit, or anyone helping popularize it #OnHere. It's toxic shit, it comes from a hellhole, and it cannot be redeemed by your efforts, hope this helps in your understanding

If you boost it, fucking wise up and don't.

Tesla workers in Sweden go on strike.
Tesla hires strikebreakers.
In response, various other workers start sabotaging Tesla. Their cars can't be unloaded from ships because dockworkers won't touch them, postal workers are apparently stalling delivery of license plates for teslas.

Naturally, Elon Musk reacts in a sane way
Haha just kidding he now wants to sue the state of Sweden

just saw a boost of a toot containing a screenshot of a bluesky post that contained a screenshot of an email containing only text. bluesky has an overlay that denotes that the screenshot of the email has alt text but it is not displayed in the screenshot. the screenshot of the screenshot does not have alt text. everyone involved is a damned sinner. I don't ask that we all use the same tools, or use the tools the same way, but can we at least endeavor to not use them to make something shittier before passing it on to people we ostensibly enjoy sharing things with?

While a busy schedule can be very benificial, please make sure to pay attention to your body's needs. It will communicate when it feels exhausted, and by responding to it, you maintain your work efficiency in the long run.

Two years ago today I tested positive for Covid. I was fit and healthy and expected to be back to normal in a few days. It's been two years and I still can't walk 50 yards.

The only people who think #LongCovid is no big deal are those who don’t know enough about it.

we gotta stop calling LLMs "ai" you gays:

there's nothing intelligent about it; it's literally not "AI" at all, in the same way that throwing darts completely randomly at a board and occasionally hitting triple 20, then optimizing for that, isn't "playing darts"
it validates the marketing work done by total asshole shills; it's giving them oxygen
makes it sound way cooler than it is, and makes people working on it sound way smarter than they are (didn't we learn this lesson with blockchain? They're dickhead, world-burning capitalist charlatans all the way down)

So instead of "ai" I propose we start calling large language models "ugg", for "unwanted garbage generator".

Advantages of "ugg":

sounds like something a caveman would say
can be grunted in frustration
emphasizes that it's fucking garbage

Thank you!

Like nothing says “we dont hire nor consult people with accessibility needs when developing accessibility features” as making said features:

1: turned off by default
2: not visible except for ppl who use 3rd party voiceover tools
3: requires too many steps to use
4: difficult or not possible to streamline for cross posting (copy paste)
5: feature obscures or alter the original post way more than needed

I see these things on bluesky, tumblr and official mastodon app. Embarassing.

hey my friend @heckinwes is looking for resources on worker's rights in seattle washington

his roomie feels like she's being unfairly retaliated against and needs to talk to someone who knows the law better

so he asked me to make this post 😁

the reason the phrase "let's agree to disagree on our political views" always bugs me is because it's kind of impossible for me to be friends with people, who, say, want to see people like me in the pits of hell, or think threatening people with certain death unless they work is okay. you can't divorce ethics from politics

I don’t need “ai” in my terminal, I’m perfectly capable of typing something that looks plausible but does something completely unexpected myself thanks
