Calling All Mad Scientists: Reject "AI" as a Framing of Your Work • Buttondown https://buttondown.com/maiht3k/archive/calling-all-mad-scientists-reject-ai-as-a-framing/ #AI #AIHype

@sand I mean, consider that a blessing, honestly!

Agreed! Same! This was honestly the first time I was able to digitally participate in a protest! @ChristineMalec #HandsOff #Accessibility

This morning, I Woke up this morning to no social security deposit and I use that to pay rent. There was no notification, no email, no letter from Social Security, and I’ve been trying to call them ever since the phones have opened. I can’t log into my online account. I don’t know what’s going on, and the few times I’ve tried calling, my wait times have been longer than Two hours according to their phones system. I Need mutual aid, NOW! Rent is $800

@FediThing @cwebber This is why fiction is so important! I used to say these people don’t read, but that’s clearly not true because they read a ton of nonfiction/self help/productivity books but fiction teaches empathy and different points of view which is why they don’t like art

Recently, I decreased looking for things on #YouTube because the platform, at least on mobile, is becoming an absolute nightmare. Instead, if I wanna find a review, like a book or movie review, I open the podcast app and search via keywords. Found some interesting podcasts this way, with an RSS feed so I don't have to be stuck with one app!

Creators, YouTube is actively harming your reach. On the viewer side, it's becoming a chore to open the mobile app and I don't watch 4 hour video essays at my computer. There isn't 4 hour video essays on podcasts yet, at least, none I could find anyway, but the experience is far less hostile! No product ads in search results, far less than 20 ads in one video, and feeds don't hide your content from me after I follow your podcast.

Hi, I’m Robert! But you can call me the Fediverse Twink :D

I’m a proud cis gay male twink from planet Earth (GenY y/o)

I’m currently writing Romance books and short stories, with a touch of hand hugging, and sometimes erotica, featuring non twinks, and I'm begging offline people to bake me all the cookies, especially my international friends because America does weird things to our cookies. I dropped out of college, did a bunch of journalism internships anyway that saved me a truckload of money on gaining journalism experience, but then I decided that writing two boys kissing and having giant hand obsessions and palm kinks was more fun! I also blog about a lot of stuff, from my thoughts about keeping Pokémon as pets, to what I think about hunkish gay hackers in my town.

My website is in transition but you can add my RSS feed because, frankly, not enough people are sharing their cookies with me to give me writing fuel, so I need you to share my website and articles instead for a while so I can amass a legion of fans and then sick my mob of fans on you if you accuse my writing of avoiding the woke anti-capitalist agenda.

My website is https://robertkingett.com/ but my feed URL is https://robertkingett.com/feed/

@tchambers @pfefferle @index I love this idea!

So much this! A number of us indie authors will donate our books if you just ask, but nobody asks, just pirates. I even have a page on my website explaining I will give a copy to anyone that asks for one. https://robertkingett.com/free/ @guerrillarain

Hey all, the easiest way I can find #Ghost blogs using #ActivityPub is to search for @index and you will get some Friendica results, etc, but for now, that should be a sure way to find almost all the blogs that have enabled this feature so far. I couldn't tell if replies appear as comments, so if you don't want your comments on their blog, don't reply to their fediverse posts. A few told me they can see my comments on their dashboard but I don't know what that means. #FediTips #Fediverse

@jaharmi What #video playlists would you recommend about EMacs? Would love some more links!
