@anildash yeah. The US census history is an amazingly silly bunch of stuff.

@dansup considering getting ai to set up a virtual carrier pigeon network. 🤣

@fesshole erm...

So, how would you suggest eating one?

@dansup I like what you are doing though it doesn't benefit me as a WordPress user that I can tell.

Another use case would be having a link to an onboarding tool on profile pages, which could be tailorable for instances.

It could see someone not logged in, and given them the option of creating an account on the instance, or another instance.

This might even help with distributing new users to other instances.

It's a thought.

Good.

@dansup yeah, I had a bit of a problem with the code when registering... I expect it was a condition created by email getting to me late (bounced off the wrong bamboo patch. Lol).

Will look into it today again. Hopefully I am part of that count.

Yeah, you should be proud! I watched it grow from a distance.

Every morning, at least one bird reminds me that it's not the strength of the perch that matters.

It's a trust in one's wings.

@BeAware@mementomori.social @BeAware@loops.video relax. You've only been here 12 hours. Just chill.

I get hated on occasionally because I write my mind. If people get too bent out of shape, I block them or mute them.

Don't throw your personal information into the centralized media because some people want to impose their rules on you.

Personally, I am not a fan of ai content. But I found that advertisement pretty poetic. Using ai against the centralized platforms and ai companies I see poetry in.

@sam @BeAware@mementomori.social @BeAware@loops.video

You know... not everyone is going to agree with everyone.

That's what mute and block are for.

Life is too short for that.

Personally I liked the video I saw, especially because it was ai slop, because it had an inherent poetry to centralized social media.

Ahh well.

@dansup be careful. Don't think for a second that there is not an #ICE or ICE adjacent actor passively pulling toots here.

I warned some in 2005 at the Mobile Convergence in 2005 of that, particularly in the context of protest. Because protest can also appear as terrorism by some actors, which even in 2005 was apparent in the world.

To get good Intel, they will passively collect until the value they can convert from what they collected exceeds what they think they gain.

Be safe.

@_elena nice shot. I guess I have more to explore. 😉

Death of Windows 10:

This is a pretty good write up on what your options are. I'd say 'Go Linux' myself.

@dansup Keep building Galt's Gulch.

That's what they think they're building. 🤣

@ekis Ahh, but where is the fun in stealing your work with your permission?

Nah, I don't really make videos (yet?). I'm intimidated by my perfectionist traits and I fear that rabbit hole.

@ekis Now I have to figure out how to make music.

👀

@ekis I'm guessing being an oracle has to do with some mystical stuff. I hope you don't confuse yourself with the kind I wrote about recently. 😂

@aral much better presentation, thanks. 🙂

Reading news with my fitlrst cup of coffee. ☕😂
