The fact that A.I. doesn't exist, but we call all the different types of machine learning "A.I." because it's more marketable, is a perfect representation of how humanity would rather worship a lie that sells, than a boring truth.

I've had several experiences with individuals who were faced with the brutal honesty of the end of their lives.

The impermanence of life is something that the vast majority of us pretend doesn't exist until we are forced to face it.

Watching my friend struggle with knowing that at best he might have a few more years to live, is humbling. It reminds me of the impermanence of my own life, and helps me to be more grateful for my friends and loved ones, as it does for him as well.

Did you know, that if you didn't, then you don't?

The more I read about what Microsoft is doing, the more I'm glad I switched back to Linux this week.

It's so Minty!

A friend cam over yesterday to talk. At 65 he's decided to go to therapy to deal with issues that have gone unresolved in his life.

We sat and I listened for hours about his hopes and dreams and how the pursuit of them through out his life, has left him feeling dissatisfied and empty.

I praised him for his willingness to understand himself more and his desire to be at peace in the time he has left.

It's never to late to make changes. It's never to late to find peace.

It’s my birthday!

Gimme boosts?

Bring back Lawn Darts.

It’s time to thin the herd.

Tell me the story of the last time you committed an act of kindness in 500 characters or less.

There’s nothing wrong with bragging about creating kindness. There’s nothing honorable about not sharing the joy of creating kindness.

We need to uplift and encourage people who create kindness in their daily lives.

So tell us your story. It doesn’t have to be something big. It can be something as simple as helping someone carry a bag of groceries.

How did you create kindness this week?

Ninja School...

Teacher: "I didn't see you in class today."

Student: "Thank you sir."

Anyone out there have an extra invite to play the Alpha of the new Marvel game, "Rivals" that they can DM me?

C'mon. Pretty please? I know SOMEONE on the Fedi must have on. Throw the old Funkster a bone would you?

ThankYouVeryMuch.

Please boost.

@pixelfed I'm glad it was nothing overly dramatic, but why jump to Discord? Why not just create your own channel on Matrix?

@pixelfed What happened? You can’t dump this on us without the story! Cmon!

@dansup @loops I'm withholding judgment until the final app comes out, but I have a lot of questions.

What will discovery be like?

How will you handle the server load?

Is this just going to be vertical PeerTube?

How will you search between instances?

Will there be Public/Federated/Home timelines?

I'm looking forward to seeing the results!

I really should try waking up before I get out of bed.

@dansup Ok. But how free is it if I pay yearly?

@dansup Anyone else think that sounds like a porno title? That can’t be just me can it?
