It’s pretty cluttered with all those Mastodon instances. Would be nice if there was one Mastodon button and your browser remembered the instance you were sharing with.

Not at all. We kept the underbrush from burning in small amounts for so long that the forests are sitting on piles and piles of dry tinder just waiting to be set ablaze.

My usual go-to is Super Mario Bros 3. It’s as low or high stakes as you want to make it.

Similarly I used to follow news groups on Mastodon, but found I was missing stories in-between my other follows. I ended up switching to RSS readers like Inoreader to handle my reading instead.

I know it’s answer-adjacent, but I hope that helps.

So can you give us a clue? When should we be looking for it? Is it a person, place, or thing?

Um, let me see, what can I tell you? Is it a person, place, or thing? I’ll tell you, it’s all three. It’s all three. And it’s all across the whole season.

Let’s see, we already explored the mycelial network. Did we explore the ship’s computer? Maybe the universe has been discovered to have been conscious all along?

At launch, Google’s VP of Real Estate & Workplace Services, David Radcliffe, said the site “marks the first time we developed one of our own major campuses, and the process gave us the chance to rethink the very idea of an office.” The result is a wild tent-like structure with a striking roofline made up of swooping square sections.

In other words, they erected themselves a circus tent. Ironic.

I was on Discuit during/before the Squabbles(Squabblr) drama, and traffic to the site has died down considerably. I assume most people went back to Reddit having exhausted their search for a Reddit alternative.

Connell wasn’t the only actor surprised to find that props promised by the script didn’t actually exist.

So there was never a dress rehearsal and the performance was a cold read? AI may be to blame for the bad script, but there many other points of failure happening here.

What a shame. The set pieces look great, but obviously look out of place on a concrete floor. I feel bad for all the actors involved.

According to Air Canada, Moffatt never should have trusted the chatbot and the airline should not be liable for the chatbot’s misleading information because Air Canada essentially argued that “the chatbot is a separate legal entity that is responsible for its own actions,” a court order said.

“Air Canada argues it cannot be held liable for information provided by one of its agents, servants, or representatives—including a chatbot,” Rivers wrote.

Totally agree. With that statement they’re treating both employees and bots like scapegoats.

I had this conversation with one of my instance’s mods about a month ago.

Essentially:

If provided with a court order, we could theoretically provide:

  • Email address
  • Record of all comments / posts made by the user
  • Incoming/outgoing DMs for the user
  • Voting activity made by that user
  • Communities subscribed to

(I think that’s everything off the top of my head)

IP addresses are not logged in the db or linked to a user, but if the RCMP shows up with a warrant and says “We want all IP addresses that submitted a comment at 09:11:43am PST Jan 16 2024” then I’d be able to get that from the access logs. Access logs are only stored for 14 days and then purged, DB backups are taken daily and stored for 30 days.

”Tech is not supposed to be a master tool to colonize every aspect of our being. We need to reevaluate how it serves us.”

I consider myself a Luddite not because I want to halt progress or reject technology itself. But I believe, as the original Luddites argued in a particularly influential letter threatening the industrialists, that we must consider whether a technology is “hurtful to commonality”—whether it causes many to suffer for the benefit of a few—and oppose it when necessary.
