@valhalla @welshpixie @elzbethmrgn do not dare feel guilty about that, they are your babies. You are the mum of colours. You are the zoo keeper at the pigment extravaganza.

Masterful gambit to throw the entirety of Australia's muslim vote overboard. https://newsmast.social/@theguardianrss/112720953156365822

Thing is, they can’t. Australian privacy law forbids Google hitting back. This is why A Current Affair features a squillion people saying the bank did them wrong and the bank “declines to comment.” It’s not because they’re embarrassed, they’re literally banned from defending themselves publicly. The debanked on ACA are meth hoovers and banks can’t do shit. Google can’t say “Unisuper typed terraform destroy”, even though that’s what happened.

WELL THIS IS A FUCK OF AN INDUSTRY YOU FIND YOURSELF IN! THE TYPING INDUSTRY!

@weyoun6 @selzero I love how they think it’s going to be fine to hire dudes with assault weapons to look after them in an apocalypse and pay them $40,000pa to secure their safety and that of their stockpile of survivability.

Obviously the solution to lecherous executives asking their subordinates what their favourite sex position is, is for me to watch an unskippable video about the revelation that you shouldn't do that.

I think a lot about how I have to do annual training about not sticking my hand down a co-worker's pants or trying to bribe the cops and how that's because people who earn way more money than me did those things and were shielded by their organisation "increasing training and awareness" and the conclusion is I have to swear annually I won't do something I would never actually do, and people who do those things continue apace.

I giggle every time my bible app updates.

It's funny how "I can't get the outcome I want without doing crimes" is fine for OpenAI but not for a 12 year old in Maine in 2004 who got several shades of shit sued out of him for downloading Enter Sandman.

@thomasfuchs because the chance is nowhere near that high?

Few years back a salvo was going table to table in the beer garden I was in. When he got to mine I did my usual "Sorry mate, can't look after you with the way you treat queer folks." Usually I get a sneer but this guy immediately came back with "So you're ok with people missing out on our support because of our position on sin?"

I nearly lost my fucking mind. "First up, champ, there is absolutely no scriptural support for your hateful crap, so let's not pretend there is. Secondly, people missing out positions you as the only game in town - you're not. I support other organisations that do great work and they don't condition it on shitty theology and what's between people's legs."

Discord is good for chatting to your mates while you play games. That's fucking it. Stop community building outside of that use case on Discord.

I am a simple man begging for tutorials with written word and not some 19 year old screaming WHAT'S UP YOU GUYS in a YouTube video

I genuinely reckon the hallmark of being rich in the future will be that you can opt out of AI and “smart” computational shit. Someone doing alright will have a phone that can take the “best” image from a photo, and a watch that gives notifications and be able to pay for stuff by blinking at a scanner, but a RICH person will have a camera that takes a nice photo, a watch that’s very well made and just tells the time, and a really nice leather wallet. https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/11/30/a-bride-to-be-discovers-a-reality-bending-mistake-in-apples-computational-photography

Extended rant from the project manager about someone taking leave and not putting it in the official leave calendar. Should I tell him to shut the fuck up because the person in question lost a sibling in a car accident yesterday?

Every so often we trade the far right government for the centre right government as like a treat, and every time the first thing they do is stride right past inequality, housing, the wage crisis/stagnation, media reform, corporate tax avoidance, and grab the Internet by the scruff of it's neck and say "THIS IS FOR PORN AND WE ARE GOING TO FIX IT"

The absolute nerve of websites that show you steps to disable your adblocker. My good bitch it's not enabled because I can't figure out how to switch it off, it's enabled because I don't consent to looking at what your advertisers paid for you to shove at me.
