Tak!

@futurebird@sauropods.win yes! same experience (but not about ants 😅)

@futurebird@sauropods.win same, I had to relearn when best practice went from "enter a query" to "type a question as a sentence", and now that you can ony get results for the 100 more popular word combinations I have given up entirely

@An0n@beige.party people also wear them on the right hand in denmark for what it's worth

@jonny@neuromatch.social @quincy@chaos.social @cwebber@social.coop the myth of consensual botnet

@violet_cybrespace@lesbian.solutions this presents all kinds of opportunities for shenanigans

@LibertyForward1@beige.party it's good, it kind of gives curry vibes

codeberg is great, but let's not make it another github - try https://git.gay , convince your organization to start a forge, start your own forge, etc.

@beandreams@friendhole.social acoustic folk cover of smells like teen spirit

@aparrish@friend.camp omg YES

@schratze@todon.nl too googly for schoogly

@fluffy@plush.city 🤩 oh wow, kid me who didn't need an excuse to read books got so many pizzas

@lina https://youtu.be/CsQtUSTSX40

@civodul@toot.aquilenet.fr "clippy, configure my printer" "ok, your printer is configured! ✨" "ugh, it's not working, linux is garbage 🙄"

@annika "download our app for a better experience (for our 65535 Trusted Advertising Partners)"

@sky@yiff.life damn, mine just sleeps under my tv stand and watches the other servers frolic outside the window

@celesteh@hachyderm.io @futurebird@sauropods.win that's fair, my impression of my own secondary and university education was that there wasn't really any substantive oversight or QA - I didn't consider that many educators could be handcuffed by organizational requirements

@ottaross a scalp with infinite hairs

@rek it's such a (creepy) campy vibe!

@katemorley maybe also a coffee mug you could casually sip from

@amydiehl the "fun" thing is that the trend is reversed in places with good cycle infrastructure and where having a car is a luxury - for example, around Copenhagen, where biking for transportation is normal and households tend to have 0-1 cars, there are more men driving and more women biking

@Ninji@wuffs.org can't wait for the australian version

@vicorva@mastodon.art I feel like Tolkien would do pretty well with that bingo card too 🙂

@lemay@mastodon.social I love that she nails, although doesn't say in so many words, that the other thing nfts, cryptocurrency, and llms have in common is that their only viable use case is fraud

@aparrish @fasterandworse I also liked kelsey hightower's "zero-token", although it's obviously still a negative

are you languishing on windows 11? windows 10? windows 7 😱?

huh, they already had this system in place for the steam deck - did they just not think it would be a problem with the controller? ( https://mastodon.social/@verge/116534673484327016 )

@joe @peter oh, they don't do nothing, they consume massive amounts of electricity, water, money, time, and attention

my keyboard has decided that FEDIVERSE should be in all caps at all times

@tante@tldr.nettime.org kotlin devs: 😡 ( https://kotlinlang.org/docs/flow.html )

@ACM@mastodon.acm.org disappointing 😡

I remember when normies didn't know what shaders were, now everybody knows them as the reason for two progress bars at the start of every game

I'm seeing a lot of takes on the (latest) "slop agent deleted my database and backups" guy like "lol I can't believe you gave a slop agent control of your database and backups, this is an obviously bad idea, what a credulous buffoon", and

yes, it is an obviously bad idea if you understand how slopware works, but

the people who are selling the slop are promising people who do not and should not have to understand how slopware works that it is a good idea - these people are also victims

credulous buffoons should also be able to exist without being robbed senseless, this is ostensibly why we have laws

@timmy pope in mario kart

Generative AI is an insult. It is unreliable, its economics don’t make sense, its outcomes don’t justify its existence, and the perpetrators of its con are boring, oafish and avaricious men disconnected from society and anybody who would ever disagree with them. It requires stealing art from everybody, destroying the environment, increasing our electricity bills, the constant threat of economic annihilation, the endless cacaphony of “everything fucking sucks now because of AI,” all to push software that can only be justified by people willing to ignore basic finance or sense.

@sarahzedig distracted boyfriend meme where the girlfriend is an advertising flyer

@clifff that's on my agenda for this morning! (and afternoon) #BikeTooter

psa: gush.taks.garden has been updated :tak:

• add a badge on poster pages showing whether they follow you
• add an edit button to the breadcrumb in the post box (for your posts), so you can quickly edit a post you just made without having to go find it

(yes, some other federated microblogging services also implement the mastodon client api, but that is far from being "the fediverse")

@Paul_Taylor I have given up - I used to host my own mail, but google and microsoft have succeeded in corporate capture of the entire system (under the guise of "spam prevention") 😐

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social we actually have a law in denmark that requires workplaces to provide an environment (for "sedentary" workers) where the temperature needs to be between 18C and 25C - but it is largely ignored in my experience, and it has special provisions for "heatwaves" which basically amount to "🤷 whaddya gonna do" ref: https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/retsinfo/2025/10207#:~:text=Kapitel%209 (in danish)

happy labor day! join a union! (and/or convince someone else to!) ⚒️

dear marketing people: if you make your developers add spontaneous notifications to your app, most people will immediately turn off all notifications for your app forever (best case), or just uninstall the app entirely (easiest case)

Tesla has been forced to recall all rear-wheel-drive Cybertrucks sold over the last two years due to the risk of wheels falling off.

oh my god, I have never seen a vehicle company where every single model is notorious for the wheels literally falling off while you're driving

fragile stud holes

new term for cybertruck drivers just dropped

Poor Cybertruck sales mean that only 173 of the stainless steel pickup trucks will actually need to be recalled.

@futurebird@sauropods.win I keep seeing teachers complain about getting slop essays, and I keep wondering why teachers keep assigning essays (for grading, as you say) in the Slop Era

@geekysteven I feel like the elf planets have to be where it's at

@carbon_compound@mastodon.social @davidho@mastodon.world ah, so I'm not the only one who initially read the headline as "UH oceanographer […] approaches" (ominous) 😅

@aparrish @fasterandworse actually I approve of this framing, any time some booster comes at me about not using ai, I'll just respond that I'm using a "deterministic ai" workflow

@peter the world was better in every way prior to the rise of huge generative ai models
