It should be possible to make a simple program on your phone in the time it takes to make and post a tiktok

Ah, generative ai has entered its blatant rugpull phase

@nash I can't believe you want to just skip the time of monsters

@dalias It's funny that the fediverse has a reputation for being old now, when I joined the stereotype was that it was all 17-year-old transbian furries

@goatsarah Surely that's a Lysistratacracy

I see bluesky's following instagram and twitter down the CONTENT ONLY FOR SIGNED-IN USERS path

Tech ceo: I built this technology and this company by myself from the ground up, I'm just Built Different 💪

Author: I know my name is on this short story, but I barely did anything; if anyone should get the credit, it's my editors, my proofreaders, my cat, people who riffed on my jokes on social media, that one guy who always cuts in front of me at the coffeeshop, the couple two doors down who has really loud sex, migratory waterfowl, and my third-grade teacher 😳

It's time for Toronto cyclists to start vandalizing cars

I just got a git hash beginning with 00000

Daylight Saving Time has really helped me understand the global reaction to the climate catastrophe

Here's a thing that would cost us literally nothing to remove, would make our lives easier if we removed it, that makes us all feel terrible, costs billions of dollars in lost productivity, and literally kills our children now … and we just … can't do it.

In light of that, it's no wonder that we refuse to make a concerted, drastic change whose effects will be felt decades in the future

@inthehands DAOs were a great object lesson in "what if the laws actually were code‽"

(When looking for the wikipedia link, I was pleasantly surprised to find nothing web3-related in the first page of search results for "dao" - we did it, y'all!)

@misty No worries, I just wanted to make sure that I support this method 🙂

@misty Was it the name field on the image, or some other mechanism?

CEOs: It's impossible to get anything done when we're not all sitting together in the same office at the same time

also CEOs: We're replacing this entire department with a team of contractors across the world because we can pay them less

I'm always fascinated by the way that fantasy writers' interests influence their magic systems, even though it's utterly predictable:

• linguist: magic words / language
• translator: magic powered specifically by translation between languages
• programmer: magic that follows rigidly defined rules, and therefore has bugs and exploits
• botanist: magic is derived from plants and their products
• eugenicist: magic is in your blood
• hack: magic only works in ways that support the plot
• pervert: sex magic
• Adrian Tchaikovsky: bug magic
