I was looking at new phones and basically every one was advertising their AI assistant. Are any of them better than the digital assistants from 2016?

You can say ass here

You give me a word, any word, and I show you how the root of that word is Greek.

I don’t understand what part of their statement you read as pro-LLM

I think I would have liked it better if they had cut another 60-80 minutes from it.

Is this video enormous for anyone else?

I think your point about moderation tooling is worth a bullet point on its own. I think more tools for users to stay safe and for moderators to keep their instance safe would go a long way, and that there are people who would be willing and able to donate their time implementing them.

Also, the current draft is still pretty focused on Mastodon. I think it’s worth talking more about how the problems (and solutions) are different on different platforms, or if not then talk about working on the problem for Mastodon/microblogging as opposed to “the fediverse.”

Idk if downvotes don’t federate at all or if it’s homegrown jank, but I’ve never seen a downvote on another instance’s post.

Flexo, shoot Flexo!

I’ve been wondering whether “a functional web search” is something that will increasingly become impossible as the death of the web progresses.

Feels like I’m wearing nothing at all!

Reminds me of the plastic placemats I ate off of as a toddler.

I definitely get the impulse! When there are a lot of them though, I feel like I spend as much time trying to understand the structure of the paragraph as I do reading it.

Has anyone else told you that the nested parentheses make your writing hard to read? Not a sarcastic or rhetorical question, I genuinely don’t know if I’m the only one who has a hard time with them, especially when you don’t close them lol

Which isn’t to say it doesn’t happen. I still occasionally get my password emailed back to me from small handbuilt websites. Which is part of why you should at the very least never use the same password twice.

It would be nice to have a version here without the slurs. I can stand the obnoxious liberal takes, but there’s a line somewhere.

Peven Stinker

Disabled people couldn’t possibly have a reason to be outside at the same time as good, hardworking folk. Why don’t they just lurk in the shadows where they belong?
