@FluentInFinance@mastodon.social There is a meme template to answer the question. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/wait-its-all-ohio-always-has-been

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social "They're not sending their best (air)."

@ThePiGuy24@meemu.org You need an adapter to connect it to the nearest spigot.

I can't think of any organisation that is more corrupt and works harder against the interests of the European people than von der Leyen's EU Commission.
"The Commission was reportedly planning to impose the largest fine yet under the DMA, in the single digit billions, scheduled for March 2026. You are said to have personally decided to postpone the penalties.
If true, this would further undermine European innovation, prosperity, democracy and sovereignty[…]"

Me uninstalling Microsoft Copilot from my PC for the umpteenth time.

My pet theory about tech bro billionaires' obsession with AI safety and alignment is that they are deathly afraid of being called a dumbass by a computer. I know I would be if I were them. #ai

Took out the old Gazelle for a quick ride along the former inner German border. Once a place of almost certain death, now thankfully a nature preserve.

@GossiTheDog What is it with the MAGA tech bro motherfuckers (same with the Doge boy) that they are unable to open their mouths and utter a complete sentence? I want to kick them in the nuts with a run-up, just so I don't have to hear their fucking Valium voice again. Fucking piss drinkers!

@Der_Lichttechniker@chaos.social Ja, ich würde es auf leeren Magen nicht empfehlen, sagen wir mal so. :D

Watched "The Substance" without reading too much about it or watching the trailer.
It hit me like a ton of bricks! 10/10, no notes.

TIL that each object in the music video for The Chemical Brothers' "Star Guitar" corresponds to a different sample/note and appears at the exact same time when it is being played in the song.

@AdmSnackbar@mastodon.social "Another Youtuber", lol. But, yes, if I come across a 'screamer' on Youtube, the tabs is closed in less than a second.

@magpieluvseeds@mastodon.social Right. I had remebered "load-bearing drywall", but not that it actually wasn't load-bearing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVUTVfHcc7c

@bimmer It's called Groverhaus, thankyouverymuch.

@taylorlorenz@mastodon.social I can't watch 42 minutes of the guy rambling, but "AI is here to stay" in the same way as blockchains and NFTs still exist.

@parismarx I also believe that thinking "mY pHoNe Is MaKiNg Me SnOrT tIk ToKs" is a bit simplistic.

@jay@macaw.social I expect a thorough review from Ian tomorrow! :D

@igb Nice gravel bike!

@johnpaulflintoff@mastodon.social I don't subscribe to the idea that Mastodon is hard and that is the reason why nobody uses it. Take Tiktok: It's five different apps with the worst UI, hammered together by a troglodyte. We need to be honest and communicate that you can follow great people on Mastodon (prominent people, friends/acquaintances, experts in your field/hobby), but it has to be clear that it will not shove the same content in everyone's face. If you expect that you will bounce off and rightfully so.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org "Biggest barrier to courting new users: we are culturally hostile here to influence peddlers". I'd say that is Mastodon's biggest appeal!

@mudkip@wetdry.world "Open your mouth, citizen!"
