Dolly Parton quote that lives rent free in my head:

“I make jokes about it, but it's the truth that I kind of patterned my look after the town tramp. I didn't know what she was, just this woman who was blond and piled her hair up, wore high heels and tight skirts, and, boy, she was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen. Momma used to say, "Aw, she's just trash," and I thought, That's what I want to be when I grow up. Trash.”

Is this why Pica has so many offshore accounts?

@libreoffice What's that phenomenon where your brain automatically corrects malformed text as you read? Honestly read this as "No bull-shit AI" first pass 😅

Young people deserve better than a policy built on panic. We're happy to see France's top court acknowledge this and strike down the country's legislation banning social media for under-15s. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/08/french-top-court-gets-it-right-strikes-down-social-media-ban-youths

@Lady Also I think you're putting reliability as "always up" or "always down" while I think practically it could be a healthy and successful part of a community's infrastructure with, like, between one and two 9s of uptime if they have a space to say "sorry, will be down for a few days -- cat chewed a wire and I have finals. Hold your uploading until the weekend? Thanks."

The only remaining blocker is the lack of clarity regarding embedded signed documents. Other than that, this FEP is ready for finalization.

My university ditched the embedded video system they were using for online courses for "Zoom clips" and it's fucking stuffed to the gills with AI features that will make it so students don't actually learn anything - there's a fucking homework cheat "helper" built right in that summarizes lectures and gives you homework answers.

I desperately need recommendations for another way to do this.

Anybody know anything about this company? https://spotlightr.com/features/

Whatever happens with the lawsuits against USPS and Trump on mailed ballots, there is something every eligible voter can do to thwart the attack on free and fair elections, democracy’s bedrock institution. Vote. Vote in person. Vote early in states that have early voting. For more info about my state, #NewMexico, see pic or go to https://landofaction.org/vote. 12/12

Mistodon: we were hoping to save this one for a happier Halloween occasion, but here's a @horsenburger #teletext portrait of the late #TimCurry as #Darkness in Ridley Scott's 1985 #Legend, originally included in the MIST1019 artpack collection. Rest in power!

BTW: am cross about this settlement because they should have left the trial go ahead so people could see the evidence they get to keep hidden with this settlement.

seriously, this is just a legal bribery so Meta/Facebook and Zuckerberg won't have to actually reveal under oath all the criminal shit they get away with; thanks to the United States lack of regulation of websites claiming to have billions of users.

criminalize using websites as a front for stalkerware and send Zuck to the slammer.

De-Flock America!!!
