@natty@astolfo.social "LLMs do not comprehend your cruelty" and "i'm still worried about your wellbeing if you do actually go out of your way to be cruel to LLMs" both feel like valid thoughts that can coexist
especially around "clanker"
The vet told me off for calling our tortoise's neck skin a foreskin.

@hamishtpb In Scotland they're all covered by the same legislation and standards. I can't see it being any different in the shire. Get in touch with the CQC directly. They'll be able to get you sorted out. 👍
@JackTheCat@mastodon.scot Step-Dad is English and didn't want to move to the chosen land after Mum died.
We are in Somerset, near Bath. There is a Care Quality Commission (CQC) rating but that seems to be something that corporate organisations have but not the smaller, indy carers.

they keep calling this building with ornate hallways a motel
i'm pretty sure if you go inside to get to your room it's not a motel
every time a character has exited a scene so far by walking off-screen it's been to the right and every single time the door the character said they were going to walk through was on the left
Cressida Dick, the previous head of Met Police, is now a paid advisor for Palantir
You may wonder what advice she gives
Ms Dick strongly advocated integrating CCTV networks with live facial recognition (LFR) technology to identify suspects when she was the head of the London police and dismissed privacy concerns raised by critics as "scaremongering," arguing that public safety outweighed minor privacy intrusions
So that's OK then 😬
@Geri Sod that hoop-tonguing Dick.

I mean, what do you expect from an explicitly (m)arxist-(l)eninist instance. Their entire religion is "west bad, russia and china literally the best" and censoring any wrongthink. And yet there you are implying Russia is behind a bad thing. Of course they'd take action against you.
Imo fediverse projects really need to federate instance rules. Just include them in the instance actor (if they aren't already) like you'd do with a community, then use them if available.
honestly I think memorizing TLDs for Geoguessr a few years ago made me think Malaysia before i ever considered .ml to stand for marxist leninist lmao

there is not much appetite for funding digital infrastructure right now and it's frustrating.
you can tell that computing has gotten less magical by the fact that:

I’m new to the Fediverse, and so far I’m loving it
It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.
I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.
I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.
And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.
