  RE: https://mastodon.world/@maddad/117513061347590102 Crazy stuff. Sounds more like here where being different or excelling is frowned on by the majority. I had expected the US to applaud exceptionalism.

  The advanced web interface has added a fifth column containing just a search box and credits … anyone know how I can rid myself of it? #Mastodon

  This has gone on for months. If you use te reo Māori, there is no way you can pay for parking in te Whanganui-a-Tara. You are forced to use English.

  So weird, getting kicked off Instagram, account by account.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@benroyce/116926090279456591 Better having some laws around this than none, I suppose—I believe part of a wider suite of “AI” legislation there.

  The start of Pipiri is Monday week, so that’s close enough to the public commemoration of #Matariki on Friday. Since our peoples used the same calendar (right down to which years have leap months) it’s very easy to calculate when it is: basically near the start of 六月 for us (thrown out occasionally by when we add leap months—Māori are more practical on this and append Ruhanui to the end, which makes it all simpler)!

  As an experiment, we put up some “AI” content for work and gave it its own Instagram account. Of course, we honestly toggled the switch to say the content was done with the aid of theftbots. Each time we returned to edit the profile, Meta had switched it off. Just like Facebook, they want the bots, and they want you fooled.

  Logged into Facebook to check a work thing and this was the highlight, 13 years ago. It was in my old college magazine. So many of those ideas could have worked, fixing inherent problems that mayors ignored. #TheyNeededSomeoneMayoral
