@babe On a similar note:

A two-panel photo gif of a cop kneeling to talk to a small owl that's walking down a road. In the top panel, the cop says, "Where you going little guy?" in all caps. The bottom panel is a closeup of the owl's face, which has a Y-shaped marking of white feathers above their tiny black beak that simulates pissed-off eyebrows. The owl responds, again in all caps, "None of your goddamn business! Am I being detained?!" A good lesson on how to respond to purportedly friendly chat from a cop.

Ran @siracusa 's Hyperspace utility on a volume that backs up my primary “online" video editing volume.

Reclaimed 1.64TB of space. Took a long while.

Yes it's a spinning drive with APFS. Don't @ me.

Screenshot of Hyperspace - an app designed to prune exact duplicates of files down to one physical instance of that those files, without breaking the associated filesystem locations. Works with Apple APFS formatted volumes.

Yet another reason to stop using Chrome: Gemini is coming right into the browser, including the address bar ("Omni bar") by default. These features are computationally expensive at scale, privacy-destroying, and just plain annoying.

Vector art of a black bird with a yellow beak, viewed from slightly below. you can only see the head and neck. It looks down at the viewer with a pale blue eye. There's a simple sky behind it.

The Oracle that’s taking over TikTok, that’s the same Oracle that wants to build the AI driven open-air prison, right?

https://www.businessinsider.com/larry-ellison-ai-surveillance-keep-citizens-on-their-best-behavior-2024-9

The same Oracle that pledged fealty to Trump a couple of days ago?

https://archive.ph/2025.09.05-190347/https://www.wired.com/story/tech-ceos-donald-trump-white-house/

The same Oracle that got the rights to build datacenters and what not for their open-air prison AI?

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/21/trump-ai-joint-venture-openai-oracle-softbank

That same Oracle is getting access and control over TikTok, the Chinese brain-killing, disinformation and censorship control app?

I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

@Mastodon WTF?

Every boost is now two clicks! 🤦‍♂️

Even when I boost my own reply and there is only one option in the boost menu. 🤣

And by the way, the option I use most in the toot menu, "Edit" is off the bottom of my mobile screen.

De deadline voor Israëls terugtrekking uit bezet Palestina is verstreken. Wat nu?

Een jaar geleden stemde een grote meerderheid van VN-landen voor een motie die Israël opriep de bezetting van Palestina binnen een jaar op te heffen. Israël heeft dat genegeerd. Wat betekent dit voor het internationaal recht, en wat voor stappen kan de VN verder nemen?

The number one survival skill today is to remember now who the sympathizers to the fascism are.

The ones who you can never trust again, so long as you both shall live.

Whatever they were before: family member, friend, co-worker, lover, icon, matters not in the slightest. Count on zero loyalty or discretion. They will sell your ass out for a pat on the head. They picked a side already.

Remember this like your life and the lives of any loved ones depended upon it.

La historia de la nevera convertida en biblioteca (creo que en Francia; dicen localidad occitana):

"El mensaje es contundente: los #libros no necesitan grandes templos, basta con espacios creativos y voluntad colectiva para seguir circulando. Este tipo de iniciativas recuerdan que la lectura no debe quedar secuestrada por las lógicas del mercado ni por las modas tecnológicas..."

Se ve una nevera como en la calle. Es una nevera de las pequeñas, y tiene libros dentro como si fuese una biblioteca. Arriba pone: Lelibre.... me parece casi un juego de palabras: el libro y lee (de leer) libre

We know that AI is slowly introducing tech debt, but it's also creating knowledge debt.

All those documents that looked about right but were actually just a little bit wrong... they add up too.
