it's very easy and cheap to create fake digital bullshit and very expensive/impossible to weed it out. so the thing that is going to have ongoing real value is the non-digital, and that includes networks of real people that you've met in person. do stuff in physical space with physical things and physical people, because the digital as we know it is going away.

the major long-term impact of the existence of generative AI is going to be the total collapse of trust in digital spaces. we're already seeing it now: Reddit comments, unsolicited e-mails, photographs, videos, replies, job postings, job applications, even phone calls. we don't trust them anymore, and that mistrust is going to intensify to include transactions, shopping, travel planning, maps, ratings, and on and on.

Don't you have to have an ABN on invoice and statements
That's the only places I put it
Hugz & xXx
@MelissaBearTrix @stufromoz So far we have received a quotation from them, with no ABN. Not illegal, but I'm not sending them a purchase order till I know what their ABN is.
Also it's not on their website, which is IMO sloppy workmanship.
I'm surprised that so many people don't know this.
@lowqualityfacts I had no idea Mario and Luigi were racist
@ai6yr okay,and in African cultures, once owls start making sounds near a certain home,our ancestors believed that the owls could bring death news to someone 😳!
Like they could be signs that someone in the family or community is soon to die,and this created much fear whenever people could hear the owls sing, especially in night hours.
Is it the same at your side?
@2003MugishaPhocit Interesting! This is the case in the US, as well. (the superstition). That said, our area is full of owls, who hoot and call all night everywhere, and eliminate rodents (mouse and rats) that destroy gardens and spread disease. They are very welcome here! People build owl boxes (homes built for owls) to encourage them to set up nearby, as they are a huge benefit to reducing the rodents, particularly.
The other day, I actually found a hurt owl and delivered it to medical help.
Sometimes I long for the simple times when I just marathon'd Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 on the Xbox360 every single day for like three years with a then-close friend. We had every campaign down to a science on the hardest difficulty.
Good times. University was great.

@ai6yr @grumble209 around the same time I was asking my saxophone teachers about playing in the pit in the west end. One said: same tunes 12 times a week, one percussionist he knew didn't have to play in every tune and new the timings so well he'd still be in the bar drinking while the show was running then slide in to hit a cymbal or whatever then go back to the bar for another drink. Ruled that one out too. This is why I do programming for a living and very few gigs (but with people i like playing with and no constraints).
@catch56 @grumble209 Well, apparently it can be a drag for the extremely popular musicians, too. I recall eons ago in college, they had a free concert with Sting, and apparently he'd had it at that point playing Police songs and was getting into free jazz or something like that, and all I recall is he was booed off stage for refusing to play any Police songs. It was an ugly scene, I was kind of disappointed in my fellow college students.
@2003MugishaPhocit Almost certainly an owl!
