@tetrislife Thank you, but I don't have an Android phone rn.

I have seen people posting about keeping a journal instead of publicly blogging. I like the idea but hadn't found a good solution. Didn't want paper, and couldn't trust any $company.

Some recommended #DayOne but it's run by #automattic (the #wordpress ppl) which is melting down about #wpengine

I chose #tiddlywiki since it has an encryption option, and put it on a web server that only listens on a #wireguard interface.

Can anyone familiar with #handbrake tell me why the #linux version look so different from the #windows one? I vastly prefer the Windows version - the toolbar icons don't take up as much room, the source selector stuff is cleaner. The menus aren't even in the same order.

Is there something I can do to make the Linux version look and behave like the Windows one? A theme or something I could use?

@Gargron One of the first things I interacted with on mastodon was a little bot that would post a poll, then generate an image based on the winning option. It was clearly marked as AI, I think those kind of things should still be allowed. A blanket "profiles that only post ai-generated content will not be tolerated" is too strict.

@Gargron On a personal level I really enjoy generative AI. On a societal level I think it needs to be handled carefully and regulated so people aren't put out of jobs, or so that there's a safety net if your job is affected.
I've been trying out chatgpt and it's hilariously bad at certain tasks and gets a lot of details wrong in the domains that I know a lot about.
It's nice to have black-and-white hot takes, but reality is gray.
