We've updated the rules of our flagship server mastodon.social today. Most are the same with some clarifications, but one rule is new: Content created by others must be attributed, and use of AI must be disclosed. Profiles that only post AI-generated content will not be tolerated.

Is this meant to have a #GenAI notice on it?

@feld @ekis
US military officers are sworn to uphold the Constitution.

Nothing in that oath about "not operating in the USA".

If executive and/or congress and/or judiciary is trampling the Constitution then they are obligated to act to uphold the Constitution.

Failure to do that would make them #Oathbreakers.

@samuelpepys
Good to hear that Stokes finally did Captain Holmes.

They should have gotten together years ago.

And so was more likely to be happening when the next food arrived. But somewhere things got supercharged and when the pidgeon expected the reward for the movement but only got the food sometimes then the behavior (putting head under left wing, turning in circle to right, hopping on left foot) became heavily entrenched, well learnt.

Dear Elon's beliefs about women, fascists, competition and what it is to be human can, at least in part, be understood as the products of a random reward system.

Analysing #ElonMusk in terms of a #SkinnerBox.

A psychologist #BFSkinner put a row of closed boxes up. Each with a pidgeon inside. A little food was dropped in at random intervals.

After some days or weeks the boxes were opened.
And each pidgeon was performing a stereotyped movement, (ascribing agency here) trying to get more food.

Seems that whatever action the pidgeon happened to be doing when first random food arrived was biased to happen more frequently.

That's a trail of some 4 links?

Weird.

How can this happen with the USA's two tiered justice system?

I suppose that all involved parties are top tier. And when that happens it can come done to actual laws being applied.

Seems unnatural. How unfair for these elites to be subjected to common justice as if they were just consumer trash.

#ConsumerTrash

Met a person yesterday who saw nothing of concern in #Musk burning the value of Twitter in order to get a seat at the #Trump2 table.

That person is able to ignore the irregularity of that and feel good about the efficiencies that they're sure Musk will bring to the US government.

(We're going to see what happens. The effects of mockery are seen in Trump2's win IMO.)

So I took the, "It's going to be wild.", approach.
(The effects of a wild Trump2 administration are beyond my imaginings.)

So unfair of Donald.

That was always Laura Loomer's job.

Looks like another betrayal by DJT.

Flood the zone with shit.

At the top level.

It seems that everyone non-elite will need to be getting involved in local support groups.

Picard slash Q

"Limited only by Americans' imaginations this steamy romance takes us inside Jean Luc's heart and mind as he wrestles, and frequently naked oil-wrestles, with a minor god who dominates outside the bedroom and submits within."

@dansup
Oh hell, I've read so many YT comments about RoP that your meanings are opaque.

I found I was lumped by the series publicity agents as being equally bad as the damned racists.

A purist.

@WarnerCrocker
Is it better for weed seeds to disperse or remain confined, though in high concentration?

It might depend on how much harm they can do from that confined location.

If you're interested in trying out #Linux, and you have very low level tech skills, then trying it out on an old PC desktop or laptop that you're not in any way dependent on is a low stress method.

Trying to replace #Windows with #Linux on your work computer when you've got very low level tech skills and you're trying to beat a deadline is too often not fun.

Keep your eyes out for a disposable computer. And then try running maybe #LinuxMint, #xfce version Live.

I've got a candidate for a big conflict that needs to be won, where winning would produce significant international recognition: #ClimateChange

I'm not sure how leading a global win there would match with what the Japanese feel they need.

@tokyo_0

I understand that there is a lot of emotion around wars and the aftermaths.
If you would share more about what still remains to be resolved I'd like to learn more.

Saw the #FireBombing of cities, a #TerrorIst activity of #TheAllies during #WWII used against #Civilians in cities such as #Dresden and #Tokyo, featuring in the #StudioGhibli movie #HowlsMovingCastle.

I saw nothing in the movie that reference the dropping of the #AtomicBomb on both #Hiroshima and #Nagasaki.

But I can't think of any other movie of the last 40 years that references the mass bombing of multiple cities in wartime.
#TheSimpsons for example goes nowhere near it.
