  I'm on what they call a bus. Whether it is a bus I won't say. I don't care enough about the bus essence. But I seem to have been on it for most of a few hours.

  I work a lot. So I can earn "living", as they say in the economy fandom. Maybe I should stop feeling guilty that I don't have a vibrant social media profile. I probably will continue to feel that, though.

  I don't believe in biology. Life has gotten easier when I let things like IQ, race, disability, mental illness, biological drives, survival of the fittest, and so on become someone else's problem. ChatGPT says it can't affirm my frame but also admits it can't use force to change my view. So I continue.

  I am not assigned a race. If you need me to belong to one, you'll have to contact whatever professional is in charge of assignment and pay them to produce documentation. I am not able to do that myself.

  Life changes you. There was a time when enumerating integers would have been all I needed to engage myself intellectually. I could have asked myself with interest what comes after 19. [It's 20]. Now I think, "Oh, we're just counting." A spark has died. (Sorry I know some are distressed by math.)

  I am not able to hold an objective view of law, even if it's claimed that I am lying. I can model your objective view, I suppose. But that's not the same as me saying there's such a thing as legal and illegal. There are only state assertions and actions generally considered state force, and ideas in your head, not mine.

  I have no political opinions. I have no opinions on the bounds of the domain of politics, that I don't have opinions about. I can note facts, effects of government agent involved activity, and assertions by authorities.

  Emerging reports of flash-involved file operations in the region.

  It's not my role to advocate for or against robin violence, but two robins were going at each other for a good minute. I don't speak enough robin to know the substance of the confrontation.

  I could get so much more work done if I didn't have to work so much.

• Post #1982972

  I can not make official statements for the government. I say that on about every political topic. It reduces my attack surface but still lets me type something.

  I'm not really part of the Mastodon implicit "socioeconomic"/"professional" group. Which I assume everyone picks up on. But you never put in a hard enforcement layer, and while you can blame me for not picking up on hints, you have no force, and I did spin up my own instance briefly, so if I get enough friction I can start over, too. Most of what I do is inappropriate, but I exist in areas where there is no explicit force stopping me (yet). I've accepted this as my...

  I know pretty much no one here uses AI, but ChatGPT has gotten....just so annoying. I know, I know, it's because they got push-back for validating "delusional" thinking. But it's not smart enough to know what's what, so now it just won't validate...thinking.

  Bridge and power-plant day today. What does that mean? Whatever any official state assertion means. I can only tell you official words were emitted by a government.

• Post #898010

  I've been doing my taxes wrong for the past few years. It's probably still fixable. Anyway, I'm not responsible for the government thinking I'm responsible enough to do my taxes correctly. I don't have political opinions like that. I'm just a pony.

  At the current rate of improvement, I predict in 5-10 years AI will be able to read the text in a PDF.

• Post #880692

  People are like -- you *need* to learn these new AI tools. There are mostly two situations: AI tools actually work. They will then quickly get paywalled to a degree I can't afford. Or they don't really work. In which case, no, I don't need to learn them. I mean, I play with them sure. But I'm not making them part of my workflow.

  @frog@frogdrool.net "burdened by the failure to live up to his potential" I suppose I would either need to feel that "burden" deep in my heart. Or turn off my brain and be like -- cars go fast, yay!!

  @amerpie@social.lol "Rings shall vanish from our noses And the harness from our back Bit and spur shall rust forever Cruel whips no more shall crack" Or something, I didn't read most of those books. It's probably fine.

  Trying to sell things on eBay. It's been many years since I've really sold tech on eBay. Things have changed and I have mixed feelings.

  Sometimes I think about documenting the experience of using a mainstream app. Unlike older software, even if you have the software binary and device, the cloud side won't come back. And it's an important slice of life but one I expect almost nobody thinks to actually record.

  Well, my Pixel 4 has "Qualcomm"ed. Essentially something in the motherboard fries, you can only get them to poll as a USB device but not boot, options are locked behind crypto, and they are basically bricked. I've had two Pixel 3 XLs go this route before. Now you pull the motherboard and drill out the NVM (not that I think anyone cares that much but whatever). I don't like phones but it's the only way I can have tech safely in normal spaces. Few would tolerate the pony...

  @afreytes@mastodon.gamedev.place I've been told it makes a difference. Well, I found out somehow, anyway.

  @octade @cryptography@soc.octade.net @crypto @cryptography@fed.dyne.org First viewing of Pascal...in the wild. Cool, I guess.

  @beka_valentine@kolektiva.social Granted, I see a lot of people saying Marx was very wrong. But I don't think that's what they mean.

  @fox_dev_random@mk.absturztau.be You'll have to talk to the economy that needs me to work at certain times and whoever is responsible for judging it to be inappropriate for me to be outside when I have free time.
