    I’m working on a series of comments relating to AI but luckily this popped into my head when scrolling… Rule number one: Stay in control In control of… the copyrights, the costs, the impacts, the narrative, the understanding, the history/log, the hardware, all of it.

    This I Learned: to confuse invaders, Brussels ofen has two names for train stations and posts their signs at least ten meters apart. Your travel app gives one, and you see another out the window. Until of course you disregard the station and see the second sign after the doors have closed. Diabolical.

    A decade or so in the making, Call For Testing is offering CFT and #bhyve SWAG online using the Latvian Printful platform: https://cft.printful.me Only U.S. destinations are supported at this time but I am working with the Production User Call team to fix that via fancy API integration. ❤️

    Do you have any advice or resources for how to deal with potentially-autistic people who clench onto ideas and beat everyone on the head with them? I experience this in every volunteer community.
