I do not regret selling my Series X and canceling my GamePass subscription.

Such a bottom.

I need to get more sleep. I thought it said “dork matter detector.” The “single weird particle” didn’t help.

“The conclusions of this research do not necessarily reflect the opinions or official position of the Texas Education Agency, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, Texas Workforce Commission, or the State of Texas.”

They mentioned some NSF funding then this. I’m sorry but I’m not going to take Oxford at their word, at least the abstract, if they’re doing research at the behest of, and paid for by, Texas.

Mastodon and Bluesky will probably get another boost with this, then it’ll go back to how it’s been.

There are far too many bots for human account deletions to really make a dent in Xitter’s numbers.

Remember that Idaho is filled with people who think Utah is too liberal.

Exactly. Graphene is not for the poors, still. Even used phones that can run it can be pricey.

Gotta have an account for that. So no.

I just downloaded it. No sign up necessary but it asks for a birthdate. (I just picked June 4 1989 randomly, ofc.)

It uses AI to translate from Chinese to your selected language. The image below shows available languages.

You don’t need to login to upvote videos. However, you not be able to comment or reply. Also, viewing comments is limited.

To create your account, you have to provide your phone number, which is an automatic “not happening” for me.

Once your phone number is “bound”, you can link your Google account for your login. This will make it easier for East-West cooperation in data mining and mass surveillance.

You can also use an email and password of your own choosing.

Anyway, here’s what my feed looked like when I opened the app and skipped account creation/login:

Some AI looking slop, of course.

Of the first dozen or so, only two seemed interesting - the Rick Roll meme history and a Brazilian explaining how to use “lá ele” in conversation. (I speak Brazilian Portuguese so this was actually very cool to see.)

Meta really trying to catch up to X and AI companies.

“Look! We can even things more heinous than usual!”

Glad I blocked them on Steam. The odds of me actually buying one of their games anyway was fairly low until a couple of days ago. Now it’s zero.

It sounds like they’re committed to it and learned from the last time.

However, I’m not holding my breath.

That’s a good idea. I don’t want to accidentally support this stupid.

They should have led with that.

Time for bot on bot violence in the Reddit comments.

Can it actually be worse than the human mods? They’ve set the bar pretty low.

Something like that. She’s a very generous person.

Your local library? I’ve been trying to get in the habit of borrowing non-fiction books from my friend Anna.

Ah, yes, the NLRB under Trump, an agency that was already less labor friendly under Biden, would certainly not betray the workers.

Are the avocados making frogs gay or is it the other way around?
