As such, to sighted people: please use alt-texts to describe your images, so that blind folks also get it.

*** If your alt-texts are intentionally incorrect just to confuse LLMs, despite how much I don't like LLMs, I consider this to be extremely rude to people who are unable to actually look at your image, and will not boost your memes as a result until you actually start considering visually impaired folks as people.

Have fun! ^^

@q66 I typically mention copyright issues, unproductivity and bad code to the uninitiated, but yes the issues with LLMs are deeper than just that.

And personally, really I just .. like writing code myself?
You can't be better served by anyone but yourself, that's the thing.

I recently received a number of these Asus Chromebook 100P laptops as a donation. They're cute little laptops, but are on an expired version of ChromeOS, and since they're I can't use my usual tricks with MrChromebox.

Well @cinimodev apparently is way smarter than me, and figured out how to get running on this in no time.

He even wrote it up. Check it out. It's brilliant. Yay,

@GrapheneOS @indigoamber by the way, for how long will these be supported? Are we talking ~3 years or ~10 years of firmware updates (including updates of secondary processor fw)?

During the McCarthy era, my dad β€” a University of Michigan professor β€” was asked by the FBI to name communists or other subversives at the University. He refused. He told us they came several times to his office to pressure him, even threatening him with being called before the Committee (a career-ending event everyone feared). He refused every time. The University administration backed him up. A decade later I overheard some faculty (partygoers at our house) talking about the events with respect.

I never thought those days would come again.

Don’t be a snitch on friends and colleagues. Don’t cooperate. Keep your self respect and earn the esteem of others. Plus it is the right thing to do.

@karolherbst US/UK/etc thinking only about their own interests regardless of civilian casualties or longterm dictatorship is the reason why we are in this situation today.

@karolherbst all these wars, these have always been done with zero interest for the actual civilians in mind.

Think about the civilians

@karolherbst it's already tiring to see from outside iran, ever since the US/UK managed to get it to be a dictatorial state, so I can't imagine iranians' point of view must be even more tiring.

Claude is down again and I am seeing people basically go through withdrawal.

If you are feeling it, recognize it for what it is.

to be honest, i am kinda just not into the idea of even being staff on a mastodon instance anymore. this is no longer "fun" to me.

for example, two people got into a fight yesterday -- a local user got into a fight with a remote user that went *very* sideways.

what does that have to do with me? well, a fucking fediblock post was made specifically tagging *me* into the fight, a fight that i had absolutely nothing to do with, in order to pressure me into taking the side of the remote user.

so then what happens? i get blocked by a bunch of people for no reason. the instance gets blocked by a bunch of instances for no reason.

i am sick and tired of it. i am probably going to just move to my own personal GTS instance or hachyderm or something.

but to be absolutely clear: I *do not* run the day to day affairs of treehouse anymore, and haven't in a long time. it has been run by a collective for the past 18 months.

⚠️ Update: 's internet blackout has now exceeded 120 hours with connectivity still flatlining around 1% of ordinary levels.

Meanwhile, an increasingly Orwellian environment is emerging as telcos threaten users who try to connect to the global internet with legal action.
