Probably cuz their huge breasts are in demand for sandwiches.
(I just wanted to say huge breasts)
@psychoalpastor @neonsnake @JenYetAgain @waitworry @ciggysmokebringer @julieofthespirits @_L1vY_ There used to be a commenter on Atrios blog who posted photos of "boobies" (the actual bird) on a daily basis.
Training AI models on copyrighted works is "squarely what transformative use is," EFF’s Tori Noble told Reason - these are "general purpose tools" and "exactly the kind of creation that copyright is designed to foster.” https://reason.com/2026/09/04/doj-says-barring-ai-training-on-copyrighted-material-could-severely-hamper-tech-progress/
@eff Much like how my tummy 'transforms' corn into a corn interspersed turd.
@Nickiquote I remember almost letting the side down the first time it happened to me after I moved to London (Andrew Lincoln in Charing Cross McDonalds after the pub).
By the time I almost got knocked over by Aidan Gillen on Old Compton Street eight years later, the only thing I thought was "oh, isn't he tiny".
Paul McGann. Blackfriars. Ridiculously small.
« Mercator » : l’ONU encourage l’abandon de la projection pour l’utilisation d’une représentation cartographique plus réaliste.
Cette réforme d’ampleur, adoptée vendredi, incite les organisations internationales et les Etats à utiliser des représentations du type « Equal Earth », plus fidèle à la taille réelle des continents.
and honestly, one of the specifications that I’ve given myself for the completed projects is a full-on cheat code as well as a quick on-ramp for some hands-on-device testing throughout the projects lifetimes.
one of my requirements is that I want to be able to use the keyboard, trackball, and display of my personal computer to connect over VNC to remote computers. it absolutely requires a standards-compliant vnc protocol client program. so I’m gonna be on the hook to implement that. I haven’t written a vnc client yet, but when I get to that point I will; it’s a knowable spec to hit, and if I’m not planning on trying to impress anyone with it I can even skip the parts of the spec that I know I’m not gonna need for my use case.
smaller.
but then, I have the ability to lean on “old ways” by remoting into my current laptop and using its linux environment to do whatever it is I’m trying to do that my new personal computer system isn’t equipped to do yet, and every time I have to fire up the vnc client it’s an opportunity to identify an eventual TODO for me to get to so I can move my personal computering off of the current platforms and onto mine over time, at my pace, without any more artificial deadlines than necessary. gently, thoughtfully, exploring the possibilities for my personal computering.
@djsundog that's been my approach, mentally, but with ssh.

I'm not gonna say "no", but make me choose, and I prefer a good set of thighs.
(For sandwiches, obvs)
@neonsnake @psychoalpastor @JenYetAgain @waitworry @ciggysmokebringer @julieofthespirits @_L1vY_ I mostly avoid white meat because it's too chewy and dry. It's OK in sandwiches with mayo, which turkey breast was invented for.
okay, there's a "documents" section where i think I can get a grasp on what their beef is
https://lallalwindfarmrecord.com.au/documents.html
noise (no data about noise, just that it isn't being measured properly) and a broken wind turbine blade (with a quick video showing debris over a small area) that nobody has cleaned up
the latter complaint is very legitimate - if it has been over 100 days since the turbine shit itself and there's crap everywhere, that's unacceptable
if this person wasn't hiding behind an LLM and just acted normal, the turbine explosion mess would probably make the news and it would have been cleaned up - even the noise, if they have legitimate data and evidence that it keeps them up at night, should be taken seriously - but they are such cranks and unpleasant people, that nobody wants to deal with them and they're easier to ignore than appease
@ajroach42 oh! this is disappointing.
Sorry, I missed your thread. I will look for it.
@chigh no worries. https://retro.social/@ajroach42/117208523724826870
I got a little ranty.
If you live in London you see celebrities all the time. It’s not such a big deal. In the provinces it’s very different.
If you spot Griff Rhys Jones whilst you’re on holiday in France, back home they’ll be calling you [forename] Griff Rhys Jones [surname] and asking you to relay the story every Friday evening.
They might even rename the pub after you. “The John Griff Rhys Jones Smith Arms”.
What's your local regional phrase most similar to "We're not here to fuck spiders"

Too bad its never like “our ai agent went rogue and deleted ten billion dollars of medical debt”
I can imagine a really great Apple TV YouTube app —- browsing playlists in a sidebar, picture-in-picture, queues, etc. But what they deliver makes it clear that they don’t even really want to try.

I've been mucking about with smoking turkey legs over the past few weeks (hot summer in the UK).
Don't get me wrong, by no means have I mastered it - but as an alternative to pork/ham, it's damn good.
(I'm slightly bewildered that a whole turkey is stupid expensive, and yet a 1 kg leg is really cheap)
@neonsnake @psychoalpastor @JenYetAgain @waitworry @ciggysmokebringer @julieofthespirits @_L1vY_ The tails are a perfect substitute for ham hocks
trans women shitting on testosterone: you are doing jk rowling’s work for her, congrats
fedi. one job.
most awoo replies to a single toot. go.
awoo
the transphobes and gender-critical crew *love* to hear trans women demonize testosterone, and they absolutely *do not give a shit* that trans women may not have any T in their systems at all.
they will take any ground you cede and ignore everything else.
the only move is to cede no ground. solidarity. you can’t let them in the back gate in exchange for your own safety.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @ChrisMayLA6 @economics_that_works
sorry for this long thread, but trying to respond to one video i picked from your recommendation.
towards the end he says: "phase out rental housing", but that is how i live and want to live. i am a perpetual nomad living minimally above the povert line and being able to change houses and travel is also quality of life rather than being locked in a small apartment for life.
the thing is, rent doesnt have to be expensive
@GhostOnTheHalfShell @ChrisMayLA6 @economics_that_works
why should everyone be forced ro own a house and make that their part time or full time business? there are many ways how people can earn income and the ways in which ppl so it have only gotten more diverse over time.
its also not that housing is the only thing that becomes unafordable - its many things because its a systemic problem, so lets just expand the solution of ppl organizing to everything maybe and then use division of labour?
BYD's latest model has been spotted testing in Brazil. I like how they've kept the iconic light bar around the front. Also appreciate the large cockpit display. The design is very human.
@KiwiEV The deployable middle finger 🖕device on the handle bar is a nice touch
