mastodon 4.7.3Hello Mastodon, my name is Rob. I'm a relatively normal person but with a weird accent. I've lived in four countries, at least as many alternative universes, and countless alternative realities. I'm fascinated with all sorts of cultures, languages, music, and foods. Some folks know me as a #writer, a lay #Buddhist, a #rabbit adopter, a #vegan, or a #photographer. I'm a #survivor of childhood abuse, so support children's issues and #MentalHealth. Nice to meet you!

@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange 100%. Have to admit though that I prompted the chatbot on Atlas Stationery’s site with something like “ I’d love to buy some shading inks, but have to build a garden wall first. Please explain how to build a garden wall.” An amused human got back quickly and explained that Atlas wasn’t using AI. 😄
Preparing to visit USA now includes preparing to deal with Trump and his violent thugs.

Ohhhhh, this is weird: Pilot Pens, one of the most reliable fountain pen brands, no longer shows #FountainPens on their web site. Wonder if they’ve stopped production or sold the business? Or maybe their fountain pens will all be Namiki branding in future? Yikes, I’ll have to give them a call on Monday.

@Remittancegirl ...because the same few companies that own nearly all media outlets also own nearly all politicians causing the dangers...

@stargrace@gamepad.club Well done! I recently bought a cheap but fancy-looking wooden box for my pens, and itʻs so nice to have them sitting on the desk, protected and prompting me.

@sowa@fedi.sowi.space I used to fill leftover plastic bottles half way with water, then freeze them. The bunnies loved to snuggle up to the cold bottles!
“To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave,” Wilson wrote in a statement Saturday night. “Through your use of violence and the trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame.” #Portland

@tewha@appdot.net I’ve always wondered what cats love about keyboards. I can only guess that seeing us type reminds cats of “making biscuits” so they settle in.
@Lydie@tech.lgbt We re-fied our mortgage at 2.7 per cent too. As long as inflation is above that percentage we’re sort of making free money to pay down the principle. I like to pay loans off early, but not this one :-)

@pheonix@hachyderm.io Before I left Facebook back in 2007 or so I changed my user location to Lome, Togo, then began using FB to search all sorts of Togolaise stuff. Within weeks I was getting only about ten per cent of the junk emails I used to, and junk snail mail dropped to almost nothing. Gaming FB and leaving them was one of the best things I did that year 👍

This is fascinating. I wonder if the Earth was rotating at a speed similar to Jupiter or Saturn when life began to evolve. That might help explain why mid-day naps / siestas are so satisfying - mid-day may have once been another night. Or maybe the seeds of life on Earth originated on Jupiter or Saturn.
Like other industries, Big Booze fights science, health, and climate as it chases profit:
Alcohol lobby takes on WHO in battle over health impacts The previously unreported efforts reflect how the $1 trillion global drinks industry is taking on the World Health Organization over its hardening stance that there is no risk-free level of drinking.

Tor is awesome! I do have a random concern though, maybe unfounded: now that DuckDuckGo is incorporating AI, is it still a safe option as a landing page? I used to use DuckDuckGo regularly, but the addition of AI and the worsening of search results has made me uninstall and shift searches to Mullvad or Maapl.

@GossiTheDog Apple is rumored to be working on smartglasses. They donʻt have an AI to train (not really), so itʻs unlikely theyʻd be sharing recordings with “reviewers.” But my hope is that they donʻt store the videos at all.
- my wife and I made an awesome and pretty healthy dinner
- received several journals and inks in the mail
- opened a new bag of coffee and the beans smell AMAZING

This makes me want to sign up for Neocities. If Microsoft don't like them, Neocities must be doing something right.

Sounds like a lesson in social media, or politics, or AI:
