I did not listen to myself.
The rise of ChatGPT-style "AI tools" is a climate change issue. Advertising them is, by extension, an attempt at disengaging our sense of alarm.
Therefore, "you need to adapt and learn these 'tools'" is an anti-climate stance. Companies that engage in marketing these tools *are* engaging in the politics of climate change, even if they don't know it yet.
can't believe i used to joke about mastodon needing discord-style now playing music statuses when #sharkey actually legiterally had those all along lmao

The Guardian: *German punks launch ‘invasion’ of holiday island favoured by elite*
"Leftwingers set up protest camp on Sylt to demonstrate against far right, economic exclusion and climate crisis"
Punks from across Germany have set up a summer-long protest camp on the North Sea holiday island of Sylt to demonstrate against economic exclusion, environmental degradation and the presence of the far right in one of the country’s most exclusive areas.
For the third consecutive year, the young leftwingers with mohawks, torn T-shirts and facial piercings began descending on Sylt at the weekend, mainly by train, to disrupt the seasonal repose of the elites.
The Aktion Sylt pressure group said it aimed to make “safe retreats for fascist subsidy collectors, tax-evading Nazi heirs and backward world destroyers things of the past!”
Their presence has been registered with the authorities, who have ordered the encampment’s residents to sleep in tents, use chemical toilets and dispose of their own litter until the site is dismantled by midday on 6 September, said Hans-Martin Slopianka, a district spokesperson for North Frisia. …"
@gsuberland when I had really bad internet at an old place I lived, I used it purely to watch videos without YT player's buffering algorithm going crazy (by downloading the whole thing and waiting)

Note: I will continue working on this (basically rewriting the whole thing to make it slightly faster and fix a few behaviours, like the canvas getting 'lost'), and so that page is unlikely to be functional when you look at it now
If you have Opinions about performance of webapps, please help me test a thing! Try interacting with the canvas here, and tell me what the performance and 'feel' is like for you, especially on older devices: http://joepie91-home.cryto.net:3500/
Scroll to zoom, hold right mouse button to drag. Work in progress; currently probably only works on desktops/laptops, and not likely to work correctly with screenreaders yet, although it *should* work correctly with assistive scrolling tools (but untested).
does anyone know of a Long COVID support group that *doesn’t* use facebook groups?
Technical debt collector and general hype-hater. Early 30s, non-binary, ND, poly, relationship anarchist, generally queer.
Sometimes horny on main (behind CW), very much into kink (bondage, freeuse, CNC, and other stuff), and believe it or not, very much a submissive bottom :p
Feel free to flirt, but if you want to actually meet up and/or do something with me, lewd or otherwise, please tell me explicitly or I won't realize :) I'm generally very open to that sort of thing!
Further boundaries: boosts are OK (including for lewd posts), DMs are open. But the devil doesn't need an advocate; I'm not interested in combative arguing in my mentions. I am however happy to explain things in-depth when asked non-combatively.
My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
