Instead of hilucinations for LLMs, I've been using the term BotSplaining more and my offline circle seems to like it. #LLM #AI

@Gargron I really liked this video! I haven't checked yet, but is there a playlist of these tutorials?

Taking some time to clean up my IFTTT stuff, which is how I post by email.

I wish Mastodon had, post by email, natively, but I did it using a webhook.

I did get, post by SMS working via webhooks, so this will be fun!

Question for the geeks, though. Is it best to escape URLs in webhooks? For example, the one below?

spoiler_text=From mailing list, {{EntryTitle}}&visibility=unlisted&status=You can read it online at <<<{{EntryUrl}}>>>

Giving #FastMail a try and I like most of the interface. It’s not a screen reader friendly as Gmail but I haven’t come across a lot of unlabeled things yet. The calendar is the most problematic for me but I will never use their interface. I always add calendar things via third party stuff. I do love their #PlainText support though. There is no way to disable wrapping, which bugs me. I always disable line wrapping, word wrapping. It’s a shame they are union busters otherwise I would recommend FastMail. You should know that they have fucking HCaptcha and yes, it appears on every login screen you can think of without a text challenge. They do have an accessibility policy, but it’s not worth linking. Gonna try StartMail next. #Email

Can you all share blogs that do all kinds of link dumps and or fiction roundups in general? Both, actually? I love reading all kinds of link dumps, so give me all your link dump blogs/newsletter with an RSS feed! but I am also looking for more things such as https://buttondown.com/sff #IndieWeb #Blog #Blogs #Blogging #IndieWeb

I've been communicating with a person on the #Mastodon team about some #Accessibility stuff related to #AltText and I am loving their communication style. Confirms everything, so nothing is misunderstood, but not in a defensive way. I wish I could say more, but I am excited for the 5.0 release! I believe the team is shifting to a more community based approach which I really like. I've been here for many, many, many, years, and I am really loving this more intersectional development approach the team appears to be striving for.

My new rule. Probably not a logical one, but if *anything* has a CEO, it will fall to decay / Enshittification. This means places such as #BeeHiiv will go the same route as everything else, eventually. I fully believe in about a decade, BeeHiiv will fall the very same way Substack is falling now. This is why I love places such as Buttondown https://buttondown.com/refer/weirdwriter #Enshittification

Now after reading this, can other blind people shut the fuck up about other blind people dictating? Sighted people spell shit wrong all the time, as evidenced by this. Pleased to say none of these, with the exception of two, I always misspell. My misspellings are usually me spelling words with UK spellings instead of US spellings, actually. The two words I misspell often are restaurant and bougie. https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=73591 #Education #Spell #Spelling

So because some audiobook groups I am in told me they will *never* leave Facebook, I wanna ask here. What audiobook blogs can I add to my RSS reader? Share yours! Even if you do reviews. I'd love to know about it. #Blog #Blogs #Blogging #Audible #Audiobooks #Audiobook #RSS

Really pleased to see authors going back and releasing their series as duet narration, also as a series box set. I hope the author makes a lot of sales because I know this was not cheap. https://www.audible.com/pd/B0GPZ5L4GN?source_code=ASSORAP0511160006&share_location=library_overflow
