God I hate neoliberals. Yeah sure its the fascists who are running amok but how did we get here? Who enabled them? Oh right, it's the neoliberals, dogmatic conservatives who pretend they're not conservative but "rational" and "moderate" and do nothing but slowly poison the well by constantly insisting that the rational, moderate thing to do is compromise with and cede ground to fascists

This message brought to you by me seeing an article about how those most opposed to a full pay 4 day work week in Germany are the supporters of the neoliberal party

Fucking neoliberals are why we can't have nice things and why we have rising fascism instead

LLM/GPT shit, sarcasm 

Great news! Now instead of straight-up using artists' work without proper attribution directly, YouTube music channels can launder it through an "AI" plagiarism machine to "create something original"!

please game developers, please, PLEASE, add font size options to your UI heavy games. I am so tired of having to bail from a game because I simply can't read the UI easily.

Does anyone in the US have experience or anecdotes regarding removal of those "Neighborhood Watch" signs?

I have one in my front yard, and they're all over on other streets (not all), but are otherwise invisible in the day-to-day because of their omnipresence.

I was just reminded of it the other day, and it seems to give off police-state/sundown vibes to me, and I don't want to participate in that or support it. AFAICT, they're not owned by any government agency?

For fellow instance admins 

If you block that instance that's doing bad stuff EARLY:

1. You can actually *prevent* abuse rather than just feel bad that it's a thing that happens and wonder why nothing could be done about it

2. You can influence the other instance's policies if they see quick and decisive backlash

3. You can prevent an instance from becoming "too big to block" in the minds of others

But you have to actually block them at the FIRST sign of trouble, not after the damage is done

Grabbed the Digital Atelier brushes and patterns from the Krita store on @ki 's recommendation, saw they had some pastel brushes and a finger smudge brush, so I made a forest in the same way I'd do it physically on paper with oil pastels :)

@oliphant 's blocklists just had a pretty high endorsement - it's being bitched about by qoto/freeman :da_giggle:

average person starts 3 instances a year actually just statistical error. Jeff Instances,

they say a persons true personality is revealed when they're drunk but i personally think it's with the mastodon instance they choose

Meta, 'too big to block' 

There's no such thing as an instance that's 'too big to block' -- don't let FOMO override your values. You can have a great time here on the fedi just hanging out with folks from small instances you really like.

@joepie91 @dumpsterqueer wonder how many admins who signed up for bigrelay saw the bit where he plans to turn it into a search engine

Beware rich people who are rich for no reason.

leftists who think the emotive hairy man cartoon or the nazi frog cartoon is okay when it's saying the things they like

use the word "classist" more

Whenever you see it

In your daily interactions

Offline and online

At work, at play

Don't be afraid to explain what you mean by "classist."

It's not a word people are used to hearing, and they should
