@gleick “Emission” is the perfect description of a LLM’s output.

@ai6yr This is known as, “Leisure Suit Larry Mode” where the device will try to amorously pair with any device walking by.

The best part of this is the certainty of the pundits that Muskrat is playing some unfathomable game of 6-dimensional chess instead of coming to terms with the fact he’s simply a strung-out dipshit.

For anyone who wonders if e-biking is beneficial to your health, this is a graph of my VO2max. Guess when I bought my e-bike and started riding it to work. #BikeTooter #ebike #cycling #30daysofbiking

@MLE_online Shake them down for 10% off the top in exchange for your silence.

Chris,

I really did. And it’s a laudable effort, but I wish all this effort went into making one, good thing work instead of the continual bifurcation into different platforms.

@ai6yr @atomicpoet

I know this sounds lazy, but all I (and most) people want to do is easily find and communicate with likeminded folks and share stuff. Every time something new comes along in the fediverse, it feels like a long, drawn-out research project to figure what the hell it is, if it has traction, how and if one would want to migrate, etc etc etc. Most people find this exhausting and lose interest. It really feels like nothing is going to stabilize and mature, but bifurcate more.

@atomicpoet

Honestly, this kind of strange distinction is what will push me over the edge to simply delete social media from my life. It’s bad enough already. We have …

Facebook: for fighting with relatives
Nextdoor: when I want to report a person of color in the neighborhood
Twitter: for when I want to fascist
LinkedIn: for vacuous corporate shitposting
Instagram: vacation posts only
TikTok: hot political takes only

Mastodon: serious tooting
Calkey: tooting with fun gifs

I can’t keep up.

@atomicpoet @fediversenews

What is the compelling reason to have *both* Calkey and Mastodon?
