Let's give our trees email addresses, yes, yes let's!

this is extremely important and needs to be pointed out more:

most of the AI shit doesn't even fucking work.

it doesn't have to work to sell, of course. might even help sell.

but we need a lot more talking about the fact that this garbage is completely fucking fraudulent.

FYI: for new users: It might seem counterintuitive, but you shouldn't censor your words with symbols because by doing that, you're circumventing fellow users' word filters.

Onszelf zien als een organisatie mag echter niet gelijkgesteld worden aan gelijkschakeling en het negeren van verschillen. We worden allemaal op verschillende manieren onderdrukt en uitgebuit binnen dit systeem. Binnen de basisorganisatie moet het daarom een doel zijn om onszelf te zien als deel van een organisatie waarin we samen strijden voor elkaar en voor een fundamentele verandering in de samenleving. We willen de verdeeldheid overwinnen die gebaseerd is op bepaalde structurele onderdrukkingen die momenteel heersen in de maatschappij, en iets gemeenschappelijks creëren waarin we zij aan zij strijden in onze diversiteit.

My favorite line from any Apple II manual, the one that encourages you to play around and learn BASIC, when encouraging the user that an error message doesn’t mean you’ve broken anything permanently was:

And if the computer beeps at you, beep back.

People complain about inter-instance drama on the fediverse and, yeah I get it. It's super annoying when a bunch of people you don't know get into it for reasons you don't care about and it affects your social space. It does suck!

But the fediverse is a network of social spaces containing millions of people, owned and operated by a bunch of regular people, and people are messy so sometimes things will get messy on here. It sucks, but it's inevitable. Expected, even

To be honest given all that I'm kind of shocked how smoothly things seem to go for most of us on here most days

"Because it would be hilarious" is not a good reason to elect someone.

Literally everyone who wants to use ChatGPT at work should be required to spend a whole day listening to ChatGPT explain things you know very, very well. There's nothing like reading absolute nonsense in that very authoritative tone it uses.

Ok wow just witnessed a person in a car throw some garbage out of their window and then a pedestrian ran to grab it, then chased them to the next stop sign, insisted they roll down their window (they refused) so the pedestrian opened the door and threw the garbage back in at them and then ran away.

I wish bands were releasing instrumental versions of their songs more often

Like I love the vocal too but sometimes listening to just the guitars and drums would be so 🔥
