  Why is it that the same people who refuse to write good documentation for human beings will gladly write a novella length Markdown file with the exact same information if it's for a bot? I think they hate other people and feel superior to them. Other people don't deserve their amazing, faultless documentation. Other people might be rude and dismissive or ask questions in a way that isn't sufficiently deferential. They can't tell other people to shut up without getting yelled at...

  Since there has been a huge influx of new users, I decided to write a new #Introduction and actually pin it to my profile. I'm pushing 50 years old and I live in a Red State that is trying to make me illegal. I'm a #pansexual / #bisexual #transgender woman married to a heterosexual cisgender woman who frequently talks about the current hellscape for people like me in my Toots. I'm #NeuroDivergent / #ND which is probably why all of these sentences start with "I". I've wo...

  @lisa@beige.party Congratulations! I'm not sure what else to say. It was more like 15 years ago for me but it was a moment that saved my life. Here's to finally starting to be yourself!

  What the fuck it this shit in my Obsidian? What did I do to get this and how do I get it to go away? I've scrolled through settings, core plugins settings, and all my community plugins settings and I don't see anything with that name. I do not want it. I started using Obsidian specifically to get the fuck away from "AI" editors. #NoAI #Obsidian

  @nixCraft@mastodon.social Enabling massive amounts of authoritarian fascist surveillance with minimal oversight where misidentification is, somehow, a bonus feature because uncertainty, fear, and absolutely no human accountability are extremely desirable by the ruling oligarchs and their pet politicians.

  @LilPecan@mastodon.social I try to respond to those when I can. Goddess knows I've needed that little bump in knowing I still live, that I exist, that I matter. The world is shitty and a little kindness goes a long way.

  @endali@tech.lgbt I transitioned with cats and this sums up their reaction pretty well. I did temporarily go by "she daddy" to make it easier for them. :blobcatadorable:

  @ZebKing look, I got them to switch to Signal but talking about "Fediverse" and "Mastodon" or "Misskey" vs. "Sharkey" just gets blank stares.

  @Impossible_PhD I write short stories but I've been a member of a local writers' group off and on for almost twenty years. It's not genAI, well not just genAI. It was already drying up unless you were an established name with guaranteed sales or a workhouse churning out genre paperbacks like clockwork. Amazon Kindle seemed to be the beginning of the end based on the slow change in our speakers presentations. And traditional publishers were enshitifying before it was a word. You...

  I would like to just ask some questions of cisgender people. If you are a man, think back to when you were a child:When did you know you were a boy?How did you know you were a boy?How did you know other boys were boys?How did being a boy around other boys make you feel?What if you had constantly been called a girl?What if every time you tried to assert that you were in fact a boy you were told you were wrong, that you were lying, and that you were going to get in trouble if you kept saying that...

  A great video about how COVID never ended by BIPOC creator "Signified B Sides" including how "COVID is over and not that bad" is a literal conspiracy to prop up the economy over human beings. Covid never ended Also, sign up for Nebula - https://go.nebula.tv/signifiedbsides Speaking of COVID, Physics Girl released a video even though she is dealing with severe long COVID. My first science video in 3 years.
