@jeridansky @Robotistry curious how you get the wish list? Is there a charity that provides them?
For the media to cast such investigation and enforcement as arbitrary and capricious shows how far they have strayed into acceptance of tribalism and authoritarian principles.
"We are a nation of laws, not men." The media needs to stop characterizing our society as competing teams and regain the perspective that the nation is founded on the #RuleOfLaw, with our elected representatives bound to those strictures.

@mastodonmigration The media’s recasting is really just more propaganda designed to protect the Regime and the Perps. Accountability is no different than what I told my daughter as a kid, which is that there are *consequences* for your actions. The media’s blather is no different than whining and blame shifting of a teen who knows they’ve been caught. None of it can be tolerated
@sgharms "AND YOU'VE BEEN A VERY NAUGHTY BOY"
That... that is my single favorite scene in the entire movie.
"AND KENT..."
"Yes, Jesus?"
"STOP PLAYING WITH YOURSELF"
"... it really is God"
This was likely the first of one of the rarest moments in my life: where I literally fell down laughing and then laughed myself from tears into near breathlessness.
I was just the right age for it.
Now, my wife—she just does not appreciate this marvel of cinema.

I'll admit: I am unfortunately deeply fascinated by AI. I didn't choose to be. It happened to be the right thing to come into my life at the right time:
- 3 years of unemployment
- A general absence of belief in my abilities
- Near certainty of my inability to participate in the capitalist workplace
- Annoyance with hamster wheel tedium of learning the latest programming language and framework du jour.
Working with these machines has shown me that I can still manage a project and do decent enough systems architecture. I get shit done, even if there's still a decent amount of bug tickets I file in my clankers' kanban board.
For that matter, their construction also is an area of fascination.
I haven't played more than 10 minutes of PC games for about 3 months now. That hasn't happened in years. That's how preoccupied I've become.
But, then, so far, I'm mostly out there solving my own issues with as much local AI as I can as well as contribute to open source that makes it better.
I am afraid of the inequalities that seem inevitable to result of this particular revolution. Among other things, my hope is to do a little to level the playing field while engaging in something I find fascinating.
Also trying to figure out how to maybe make a modest buck scratching my own itch and sharing the results as a SaaS. But that requires a lot more nose to the grindstone.
@sgharms I am still blown away that I am running something at home, on commodity hardware, that, while it can only serve one request at a time, is probably at least as capable as ChatGPT was a year ago.
The SOTA in this field is moving quickly. It is happy food for this intellectually underfed AuDHD brain.
Though how that same capability can be perverted.... :-|

On Lemmy? As others have said, they’re automatically federated and so anyone can see them.
On Piefed though? I have a user setting where I can choose whether my votes federate and I can override that default on a given post if I choose with a hot key. That’s how it should be. IMHO, more of y’all should use Piefed.

Not at all, and I believe that’s the point.
@nomdeb @Robotistry And I'll wager the washing machines my low-income seniors have access to have no such setting. What I'd perhaps be willing to get for myself is very different for what I'll be getting for these women.
I need clothes that say "machine wash," preferably not requiring cold water, and not followed by "lay flat to dry."

@nomdeb Are there any shops you specifically recommend for shawls — ones you've bought from so you know the quality is good?
@jeridansky I haven’t bought shawls unfortunately, but I have definitely been eying some. I have bought other stuff on Etsy.
@ajroach42@retro.social yeah I been out of doom community for years and is fun coming back seeing things change and what stays the same.
@notptr There's a snap in the snap store, so I played it for a few minutes.
This is kind of astounding! Thanks again for sharing.

Government must move away from toxic social media platforms | Open Rights Group [Video]
We shouldn’t be forced to use toxic platforms that track and profile us in order to get public information.
Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube track and profile their users so that they can target advertising towards them.
Their business models fuel online harms by pushing more and more extreme content to users. Despite this, these platforms are one of the primary ways that government departments share public information.
Tell your MP to support the EDM calling on the UK Government to ensure that all public sector social media content is published on open, decentralised and federated platforms!

Moderators can also see votes on posts in their communities. I assume instance admins can do the same for everything.
