I need someone to explain to me why 24C is considered hot in England.

That is a nice summer day where I open my windows and I see people acting like a dragon is trying to cook the island.

@ryanc that is still pretty pricy even for our carriers.

@ryanc yahhhh this is why I buy a second sim for overseas travel…

May be an unpopular take, but I think the main risk of ML is not that it's good at what it does.

It's actually very bad, worse than humans by far at what it does. But because people collectively believe it is good at stuff, people are focusing so much on "the singularity" or "it replacing [x job]" the real risk continues unhindered.
This is a good example of the true goal of ML: introduce bias and inefficiency in areas where inefficiency is desirable to capitalism.

Maybe I am weird but I don't think electric kettles should be connected to your WiFi.

anyone from #firefish.lgbt or #outdoors.lgbt who needs boosts for reach to connect with people dm me in a reply to your post. Hopefully we can get your signal far enough and you can find all your friends 💜

It's really cool how trans people need to be an expert at sociology, endocrinology, gender studies, world history, medical history, how calcium gets absorbed in the body and pretty much everything.

And you are still considered less knowledgeable than some transphobic person who has "questions."

Obviously it depends on the server. But I find that the fedi has much better moderation than most social media.

I think two things contribute to this.

One is being able to choose a server who’s moderation matches your style.

The other is that most server admins make sure they have enough mods. Most social media doesn’t scale responsibly.
