If you post to the photography or painting related hashtags with shit you made with AI you get blocked on site. It's not a painting if you didn't fucking paint it. It's not a photo if you didn't use a camera to take the picture.

Genuinely infuriating that nearly the entire industry put their trust in GitHub, didn't divest after the Microsoft acquisition, and now that reliability has been garbage for a long while, seemingly no one cares. I see a few people talk about it on Fedi, but I would expect that from Fedi. Very few people I talk to about this seem to give a shit, and the fact that Microsoft isn't constantly being publicly dragged through the mud for fucking up the reliability of GitHub is not a good sign f...

I have a really specific request, hoping Fedi can help! I'm in the market for a new pair of earbuds for working out and doing yard work (mostly mowing my lawn with an electric mower). I am interested in the Beyerdynamic Amiron 200's, but I can't find any reviews. Do you have a pair? Do you like them? How do they compare to other headphones you've experienced?

One of the ways I&#39;m dealing with AI slop at work is that when I&#39;m giving feedback on the work I&#39;m making sure to never assign the responsibility of the bad code to the AI. I&#39;m directly saying that &quot;this change that YOU made needs to be corrected&quot;. I&#39;m always assigning the output of the AI to the person who put me in the position of reviewing the work. It is their responsibility to read the code that they&#39;re trying to review, they...

@fromjason@mastodon.social there are undoubtedly more. Multiple people disappeared from the system with no evidence they were deported, you just couldn't look up what facility they were in anymore. We have no clue how many lives have been taken. We probably won't know for years.
