@annika That we can't fix Mastodon by making it more like other bad platforms.

@annika I get that how we design and use fetaures can include and exclude people, our functionality is immature and people get hurt as a result.

But ... (and it's not up to me) I don't want to build anything people returning to X would use.

@annika where did they go?

@rationaldoge I watched the video by accident, she lunges *toward* her attacker, it's really illuminating about her.

*God* I love her.

Tangential: Her bodyguards are massive.

@aral Is there really no bot that's going to post here "California wines are quite good now."

Damariscotta, Maine just now.

@roadriverrail @mekkaokereke Not everyone can do this (admin an instance) but virtually everyone knows or can meet someone who can.

Big instances are about Mastodon's latent #twitter insecurity, craving growth.

#Mastodon

I'd like more information before committing.

Even Hitler did not figure out to get everyone talking about Greenland.

@kotaro the "engineering" part is the process, one has to wonder what the process *is* when we (as we do) select those awful tools.

Wow how cool! Hitler gave them *two* *hours* of his valuable time!

Hunh, you can kind of photograph it from the back, it's very bright.

I soldered each of those exactly 60 LEDs.

There was never any reason to trust #Bluesky , you just move from one shitty trend to another.

I am honest with you because I love you.

@tayfonay "It's not polite to ask people who they voted for."

That answers my question, thanks.

Oh here's one: Bill Clinton can go to hell.

@kotaro I started off, innocently enough, with $20 cams (which are immensely powerful now) to build a "garden cam" for my lovely wife using an open source surveillance (boo!) package "Frigate".

It started recognizing stuff so I kept giving it more and more mem and compute power and I concluded I was onto something.

Now I need to take a more structured approach including OpenCV.

I have the tag line already: "Helpful, not Creepy".

If you have tech background all I really want to talk about is "AI" object detection.

Seriously, stop talking about that other thing.

@kotaro One identifies the creatures who then proceed to destroy the garden, some of them quite large (deer).

@kotaro we are not allowed to annoy them.

If they don't move I can't detect them reliably at all 😜 , that was one of my early learnings.

Good thing to keep in mind when you encounter a Tyrannosaurus rex.

@kotaro everyone else in the area seems to use "fence" technology.
