@javierarmentia arsa, siniestro como masa mare de cualquier reflexión es bien, buen día
@David the first iPhone to come to Australia was colloquially referred to as if it were Jesus coming again, it was such a big deal. I tend to keep my phones for ~5 years, so that the cost per day of something so amazingly useful ends up being like 60c a day. And when you only upgrade every lustrum, the improvements actually feel valid and useful. Having said all that, they’re still too damn expensive. When the iPhone X was a huge success, Apple (and then every company which largely copies Apple) just rubbed their hands in glee and said, “right, $1000 is the new floor we work from”.
@tintinaujapon I see. I never got an iphone, I hope I never do.

@javierarmentia consejo no pedido, escribe en un editor de textos y luego lo pegas, los editores son más sólidos que la web
@quetzatl gracias, siempre lo hago... salvo en esas ocasiones en que me pasa después. No aprendo.

This is our lunch today: just a little falafel. Imagine this for a family of eight. We are truly hungry after receiving no donations. Please don’t leave us to go hungry.
Please, act now🙏💔

Fascinating to see how many folks think these are identical.
I remember once being called a "lumper" in school—trying to make the case that many different categories were in fact indistinct, thereby rendering the discussions of differences moot. This is in contrast to "sorters," who prefer to highlight differences.
I can see how these two things look similar, but I also think it would be imprudent to regard all the tools of oppression without distinction.
Or perhaps y'all think one is a subclass of the other? Are LLMs just gambling? I find that a tad reductive, if I'm honest.
I guess I turned into a sorter with time.
> Fascinating to see how many folks think these are identical.
I came here to mention I think there's an overlap. But I think I could also argue generative tools can also be a higher-level paintbrush, which gambling never is.
Outside is happening
@halcy I am at a cottage in the coast in the east and it got pretty rough last night. The car decided to sleep under the bed. In the morning, the car was sleeping in between us at the head of the bed.

I know its something that ultimately doesnt matter at all but opening up a fortune cookie and getting nothing but ads for a fintech service is a sign that something has gone terribly wrong
As the U.S president cozies up to the North Korean dictator, America's allies in the region are building a new defense architecture. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/08/23/trump-kim-indo-pacific/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #us #northkorea #donaldtrump #kimjongun
A "Not interested" option in #loops would be nice. There are many accounts on my For You with stuff I don't want to watch but blocking them feels wrong. I don't have any issue with them and I would not mind receiving DMs or comments. I feel like this feature could be interesting for other people as well.
@ms_zwiebel open the share sheet!
@hmwilker Interessant, schau ich mir an. Hab ja mal selbst ein Buch mit Konfliktszenarien geschrieben. Darauf, realen Politikern von heute Rollen in der Zukunft zu geben, wäre ich nicht gekommen. Wenn der Titel hält, was er andeutet, war das unabhängig davon sehr weitblickend.
@hmwilker Dass Kanada der EU beitritt, wie der Economist nahelegte, halte ich zudem für komplett unpraktikabel und schief. Eine überwölbende Union, die auch UK, EFTA-Ländern, Grönland, Ukraine bei ihrem jeweiligen Status abholt und neben ökonomischer Integration/Machtballung vor allem militärische Kooperation außerhalb der US-dominierten NATO ermöglicht, wäre mit einigem Aufwand aber machbar und sehr sinnvoll. https://www.economist.com/europe/2025/01/02/why-canada-should-join-the-eu

Neat, I’ve been thinking of @nuages UI in terms of screenshotability, mostly to keep unnecessary things out of the way, but slapping a fedi pentagram in place of the logo could be quite nice

The US was making crazy demands regarding the trade deal with Canada such as removing French language requirements from packaging and controlling what trade deals Canada can sign.
Great to see Mark Carney stand up for Canada’s sovereignty and stand up against bullies 🫶🇨🇦
“the U.S. had issues with Canada's subsidies for French culture; the prevalence of French-language media online and even the requirement to have bilingual labels on products sold in Canada”

@NewtonMark *nods* the 10 minute walk home from the train station carrying a new car battery in a woolies green bag wasn’t pleasant.

On Elon Musk's disinformation platform, you can create a Russian propaganda account and get to 163,000 followers in just five months.
This account falsely claims that Ukraine wants to destroy Europe in a nuclear apocalypse, and the money financing weapons to Ukraine is actually used for sports cars.

@randahl If there ever was a fascist wearing a cross, Moscow’s orthodox church was one. But I guess US Nationalist Christians are giving them a run for their money!
