@Lynne Thank you!

I just edited on my phone quickly before heading out xD I'll try to make better loops next time!


i think one of the best things about joining fedi is that it opened my eyes to like. actually making alt text. cause like i feel like if i never joined here i never would have really cared, but fedi taught me the significance of alt text and now i do everything with that in mind when i can
i even find it fun to make alt text sometimes cause its kinda like a little puzzle. like "how do i describe this image where you won't feel like you missed out on much if it wouldn't load or you couldn't see it"

I wore a mask almost everywhere at FC. I personally did not get any criticism but I heard others did and that's pretty disappointing in this fandom. Grow up.

I also was in close proximity to several people who have reported being C19+ after the con. Masks work.

I trust you all to make the right decision for yourself and those around you that you care about when deciding on masking, I'm not judging.

If you're the type who needs to criticize others for not masking, please spend a moment in the mirror. Do you also criticize your friends for not drinking or doing drugs at a party? Is that who you want to be? There's a fine line between teasing and peer pressure, be kind. 🤔

Can confirm. Last few conventions I’ve worn a mask basically 100% of the time, no covid or even concrud.

Re fossil fuel dependence: oil is an important feedstock for the manufacturing of plastics, pharmaceuticals, and thousands of other important chemicals that are essential to our way of life. It's too valuable to just burn for energy.

Let's just be clear about something that I think a lot of people don't understand.

All these "Generative AI" assistants and crap that is getting crammed into everything today. You need to understand that it's primary goal isn't to serve you, it's to gather data. This is why these companies are so willing to cram it into every little thing, even though they know it's a broken mess. Because while it sucks at being "AI", it does it's primary job exceedingly well.

Proposal to make Mastodon's content warnings work like the Met Office's weather warnings, as explained by the BBC:-

does this mean we can also expect a soothing voice reading the content forecast?
Tufty Indigo 🪗 mastodon (AP)
@emilvolk And now the content forecast, issued by John Mastodon at 1100 today. Dogger, memes light and variable. Shannon, politics gusting 1000 likes, veering right. Rockall, imminent heavy werewolf TF, then moderate nude selfies.

Annoyment. I got a notification overnight that the next chapter of my favourite fanfic is out, and went to take a look. I found the tab I already had open on my phone, which was a few chapters earlier, and scrolled through, reminding myself what happened previously. Made it just a chapter away from the new one and then… bam. AO3 is down for maintenance for the next 6 hours. Grr. I was looking forward to having a new chapter to read while I wait at the hospital today. If I'd tapped through to the new chapter immediately I'd have had it loaded and ready to read whenever I was ready. Oh well.

if the federal bitcoin reserve thing happens, my ultimate crypto dream coming true would be even funnier:

satoshi reappears with part 2 of their paper which entirely unpicks the math underpinning everything. anybody can spend from any wallet. suddenly all these people are sat there holding fistfuls of worthless space cash (I mean, they are already, but still)

Reminding myself that it's another four years of never opening a conversation with my American friends with 'how are you doing?'
It's kind of just assumed. And if it's bad enough that one of us needs to talk about it we just will. Otherwise no one wants to be reminded.

Colin mastodon (AP)

how do conversations get started?

I'm an american and I still start out with that and it's exhausting.

@colinstu honestly no idea. Sometimes just quiet knowing hugs.

@Fozzaroo, there's a camera over there...

What should we do?

Quick... Strike a pose! X3

Had the good fortune of meeting a new bunny friend at FC! While I have plenty of experience being a spotter/translator for silent suits, it was a first for me to take that role while I was in fursuit myself! Much shenanigans ensued, much joy was had :)

Selene and Melee walk paw in paw through Gas Works Park. In this moment, it feels like the world belongs only to them, just the sunset, that special place, and the connection they share. Everything else fades away.

I recorded a time-lapse video on the phone, they are 4 videos merged together, this took me around 15 hours to complete. You can watch this video on the first comment of this submission on my Telegram art channel: https://t.me/panda_paco

it's kinda funny to learn that plymouth - the program that all it does is display a fancy boot animation - not just has support for scripting boot animations, but that is uses its own bespoke domain specific scripting language

If you script identifying and firewalling #AI scrapers, you get graphs like these on your hosting servers.

How do you identify those scrapers ?
Mythic Beasts mastodon (AP)
@lord it's a mix of techniques including networks, user agents, content requests and so on. We don't want to detail it exactly just in case #AI s read this toot and learn to adapt.
