PC Tech: "About 10 minutes ago, it said there was 7 minutes left. Now, it says there are 13 minutes left. WTF?" Me: "Those are Microsoft minutes. They don't work the same." #Microsoft #Tech

“Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.” ― Gandalf #Lotr #Gandalf #Hobbit

JFC. There really needs to be an option to filter out AI created Youtube pages. The actual, human created good stuff is getting buried deeper and deeper in a pit of slop. #Youtube #AI

Pro tip: In case you have any cuts on your hand that you might have forgotten about, just squeeze a lime into the drink you&#39;re making. You&#39;ll remember. #Protip

Lawn is mowed. Weeds are whacked and pulled. Back patio is cleaned, but will need power washing in a few days. I&#39;m thinking Minecraft and laser cutting in a bit, and maybe some streaming on Owncast. Happy Sunday. #Sunday #GoodMorning

RE: https://writing.exchange/@ninetiger/116516920605999941 I remember watching this on TV when I was a kid. Thought it was hilarious back then. #StarWarsDay #MayThe4thBeWithYou

Super fun that I still have to open up Outlook classic if I want to open a PST file. #Outlook #Microsoft

A 20-something kid just saw me wearing a Star Wars shirt, and asked if one of my kids got it for me. I asked him if he was aware that the first Star Wars movie came out 49 years ago. He didn&#39;t believe me.

And we also routinely get patrons coming in looking for books and authors that don&#39;t exist, because some AI recommended them. #Library #Libraries

The Pixelfed woes continue. I first tried Metapixl.com, years ago, but no one ever approved my account. So I just abandoned it. I went to Pixlmo.com, and I&#39;ve been there for a few years, but it&#39;s clear that the admin doesn&#39;t really pay much attention to it. There are broken features, and the admin doesn&#39;t respond to contact attempts. I tried Metapixl again, with the same problem. Account never gets approved. 1/2 #Pixelfed

Staff are getting more and more frustrated with the number of patrons coming into the library asking for something that Gemini or ChatGPT or whatthehellever told them about that doesn&#39;t actually exist, or is less than accurate. These companies have done a great job of getting people to trust these things, and it&#39;s creating so many problems. I&#39;ll say it again, and a bit louder for the people in the back: DO NOT TRUST AI. 1/3 #AI #Library #Libraries #ChatGPT #Gemini

We went and saw &quot;The Bride&quot; last night. It was fantastic. We&#39;re still talking about all the symbolism and commentary going on in this movie. Highly, highly recommend. If you&#39;re on the fence about it, just read all the conservative media vilifying the movie, and that alone should be reason enough to go check it out. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt30851137 #Movie #TheBride
