@jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io I keep telling my co-workers that if I could, I'd grab Clippy right off the screen, bend him open, and shove the two parts into the 20A socket behind the dryer.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org This is fantastic.

@Josefius@mastodon.radio @N4JAW@mastodon.radio Haven’t been on air since before the sun came up… but do know I love you, buddy.

@wikiyu @revk …and a condom.

@rev_mook Whoa... that's a relic. Yeah, I had an Iomega ZIP drive back in the day.

@josh@masto.byrd.ws Oh, and now there's #ChatGPT & other #LLM (what ignorant people, i.e. CEOs, call #AI ). You can now take {shit-idea} and feed it to an LLM & tell it to write a convincing article, post, email, YouTube short, whatever the F you want, "and make {shit-idea} sound reasonable". If democratized publishing is a forest fire of bad info, this LLM craze is air-drops of napalm.

@mntmn I'm pretty mad about its vs it's being the little $#!+ that breaks what is otherwise a pretty reliable "rule" of English. Grr.

@nycki@bark.lgbt This is beautiful and helpful. And it uses the word "poop" five times. So you know it's legit.

@mountdiscovery@twit.social @tef@mastodon.social @alicemcalicepants@ohai.social I don't care what Derek Muller says, he does not define me. Hi. I'm Kelvin.

@neotoy@mastodon.social That stack of lumber gives me goosebumps.

@futurebird@sauropods.win @Euan@speedlines.stctp.zone Caution: Intense Glee

@mountdiscovery@twit.social But my mean older brother still sometimes calls me "Absolute Zero". Hrmph.

@KathyReid@aus.social @Unixbigot@aus.social Same. Brilliantly written.

@futurebird@sauropods.win True story: met a dude @ a party @ a neighbor/friend’s house. He seemed like the one guy least fitting-in with the collection of guests. Dressed a little less casual than everyone else, etc. Since I am usually the least comfortable one @ a party, I went & engaged w/ him. Asked what he does. “I’m in sales; I sell surfactants.” “What are surfactants?” “They’re chemicals that have a surfactant effect.” “So you don’t know what that word means, either. Have a good eve.”

@ai6yr That could be me. I'm THAT bad at remembering names and callsigns.

@ai6yr It's important for you to know that you're not in the clique. Apparently.

@aurynn@cloudisland.nz @Geoff_Campbell@hobbs-end.uk Advertising is always evil, right up to the point that you have an idea for a product that could improve people’s lives, be affordable, and you just need some way to let people know it exists… hmm… how to do that…

@DrewKadel@social.coop @wendynather@infosec.exchange @Chakatodd@infosec.exchange Like 95% of the salesmen I’ve ever met.

@josh@masto.byrd.ws The arguments made here about access to information have some merit. But there’s more to it. It’s also (much more, I believe) the democratization of publishing. It used to be hard to get your ideas out there because there were gatekeepers who would reject the stupid, the crazy, & the poorly written. Now you can get your $#!+ out there despite being all three.

@psdavey@mastodon.social @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io Hah! I'd not seen that one. That's great.

@HamonWry@mastodon.world Easiest block decision ever. (j/k)

@DidiQ@mstdn.social You really should #AltTxt that so it can be boosted… a lot. This is the sort of thing I’d immediately boost on all 3 of my masto accounts, but I (& many others I know) won’t boost pics lacking alt text. Please consider whether being #Ableist might also be a form of #Bigotry.
