Now that I'm spending more time on Mastodon, I'm realizing I don't follow enough people. Many of them are inactive accounts.

My feed is running dry rather quickly.

Who are some good people in the autistic and neurodivergent spaces to follow?

The only feeling I have about starship is dread.

They want to use that to launch batches of HUNDREDS of Starlinks at once. And guess where all those Starlinks will end up? The pieces that don't make it to the ground will end up in our upper atmosphere, screwing up the stratosphere, the ozone layer, who knows what else because SpaceX isn't required to do any environmental assessments of this.

Shit. Maybe a good time to post this essay I wrote yet again: https://theconversation.com/an-astronomers-lament-satellite-megaconstellations-are-ruining-space-exploration-215653

I have an idea in my head to CNC a “better” pen, and pencil for myself.

However, after poking at the idea of a better pencil, I think a squishy #3DPrinting TPU sheath around the barrel may be a perfectly decent solution… for the pencil. I’m still making a better pen. ;)

Companies that bought a metric shit load of Nvidia processors want you to know how very badly you need a virtual assistant who spies on you and makes stuff up in order to justify it.

AI “art”

pixelfed, 8 days ago to Pixelfed

We're aware of Meta/Instagrams new policies around AI and the desire for artists, photogs and other creatives to migrate to another platform!

Our new mobile app is officially submitted for App Review, and we look forward to it finally being on the App Store ✨

Discovering that you're wrong & then changing is an underrated superpower. 💪

I ask this relatively regularly because I want to keep an eye on the landscape.

I'm a software engineer with a PhD in international criminal law. I am on the lookout for (open source?) projects that are useful to human rights researchers/activists/defenders. I am hoping to contribute as a volunteer software engineer.

If you know of a project like this, please get in touch. If you don't, please boost if you'd like!

She has a real good example of how algorithms on platforms like Instagram not only try to make you addicted but also divide us even more

I real LOVE the fact Mastodon and most of the Fediverse software avoids this all together

A girl explaining comments shown on an example Instagram posts. It looks at your age, gender, interests and serves comments based on that.

When I search the web for X I am knowingly hoping to find distinct websites that contain or refer to X.

But I think google thinks or maybe knows, most people searching the web for X want an "answer".

Obviously older (length of usage over time; yeah age) users at least partially understood the former was what you got.

I've seen nothing about this discussed, but I'm hardly a model of normality.

If you live in the UK or USA, you need to understand one thing about the coming election:

You need to vote defensively.

Neither of the main parties are appealing. But if you don't vote for the lesser evil you may end up helping a totalitarian horror get elected.

Hold your nose and goddamn vote, dammit. THEN go on protests. Because if you don't vote for the lesser evil, the victor will welcome your protests with bullets.

The prize for political purity this time round is a shallow grave.

Normalize calling AI "plagiarism as a service"

carnage4life, 14 days ago to random

This headline made me wonder how many online services actually support the ability to bequeath your account to others in your will? It can’t be a lot.

Are there any?

The #WeekendPhotoChallenge this week is “Road” for anyone who fancies playing along at home.

Interpret it however you like.

Take new photos or go hunting in your camera roll it’s up to you, though we always use it as an excuse to get outside.

Remember your Alt Text or use #ALT4me for screen reader friends.

I’d love to see your #Photos!
Here’s one from a few years ago to start us off.

I’ll post today’s and boost anyone joining in later.
