In New Zealand, both major parties campaign on ruling out one thing after the other, the winner is whichever commits first to doing absolutely nothing and killing any possible vision of a desirable future.
It is a great system.

Here is another one of the wonderful people and organizations we have on Feedle, who also happens to be active on Mastodon: @ernie
Make sure to check them out and say hi from us! 👋
Check out PieFed.
Piefed, has a slightly different purpose?
Mastodon is more of a Twitter-type thing, Piefed is more of a Reddit-type thing. It's difficult to directly compare them because they are doing different things.
@franksting i've been with leaptel before and liked em, heard some bad feedback from neptune users
@decryption i want to go with someone who will take charge of solving my nbn issue which ABB appear not to care about
@jasongorman but until recently, having a large team was the only way for a manager to get a raise and get promoted
@otfrom But now they can say "Thanks to AI..."

Très heureux d'annoncer qu'à partir de demain, j'assurerai la chronique économique dans la matinale de France Inter d'Eva Roque et Quentin Lafay tous les vendredis matins à 7H45.
Hâte de commencer !
@bagder Here's some status icons for your perusal: 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
I deliberately overprovisioned because I expect more reports to come during the day.
@christopherkunz the only "problem" now is that this new batch is high quality so we need more icons =)
@decryption why did you choose them over for example Neptune?

@CCC Illusorisch in einer Welt, wo Killer-Drohnen in der Hinterhofwerkstatt zusammengeklöppelt werden. Der Aggressor schert sich nicht um internationales Recht und wird deshalb immer über Killerdrohnen verfügen.

A tiny Bonfire feature that we’ve grown quite fond of 🌱
Instance admins can define their own set of default avatars, which are randomly assigned to people who haven’t uploaded a profile picture yet.
It sounds like a very small thing and technically, it is.
But after experimenting with it on the Jacobin community, we noticed how much these little details can contribute to giving an instance its own visual identity and fostering a sense of belonging to a shared digital place.
Not every feature that shapes a community needs to be big. Sometimes it’s just a bunch of tiny avatars 😊

It is amazing how many bugs a little transfer library can have...

Ich bin der Datenschutz. Ich stehe zwischen deiner intimsten Wahrheit und der Macht, die sie besitzen will. Ich bin das Schweigen deiner Daten, das Recht auf ein Geheimnis, die Grenze vor deiner Tür. Sie bauen Kameras, Register, Gesichtserkennung und immer größere Datenspeicher und nennen es Sicherheit. Doch: Ein Staat, der alles wissen kann, besitzt eine Macht, die kein freier Mensch ihm leichtfertig geben darf. Ich bin kein Hindernis der Demokratie. Ich bin das Misstrauen gegen diesen Staat. Solange ich stehe, bleibt ein Teil des Menschen unverfügbar. Fall ich, wird aus dem Bürger ein Datensatz.

Good Good Golf Fallout Continues Amid Backlash Over Controversial Ad

j’avais lu il y a une vingtaine d’année, sans doute sur MetaFilter ou via un lien MetaFilter, quelqu’un qui disait qu’avec l’augmentation du nombre de célébrités et le morcellement de la pop culture, on arriverait à un point où on vivrait un deuil ininterrompu pour toutes les personnalités de toutes origines et de tous les domaines qui viendraient à mourir
j’y repense parce qu’aujourd’hui je lis l’annonce du décès de l’artiste Yayoi Kusama

@joachim n'est ce pas aussi le fait qu'en vieillissant on accumule des "idoles" chaque jour davantage ?
#AI writing is ghostwriting. You are publishing words that you did not originate, and claiming them as your own. A WSJ editorial written with AI is like giving a human writer a list of your opinions, then taking the essay they create and sticking your name on it. It is unethical and disgusting, irrespective of whether or not your WSJ editor approves of the practice. All AI writing that can be identified as such with available tools to a high degree of certainty should be called out and marked for public shaming.
@lauren except ‘available tools’ largely means more AI and is about as reliable as a seaside fortune teller.
