Some people glamorize vendettas and staying angry over real or perceived slights.
After thinking about it, staying upset requires a lot of energy and effort.
And I don't have the energy to maintain long running angry vendettas. It's exhausting.
In addition to being a healthier way to live, it feels liberating to just say "I don't even remember what you did - and perhaps - or who you are anymore."
@tankgrrl looks glorious. Inside photos?
@mainframed767 EV driving baby!
@streetartutopia now I want to visit.
@mjd on LinkedIn I saw a breathless post about how the professionals of the future are using autonomous agents to do all this magic....
Then I come back here for a reality check
@huertanix @pluralistic I feel seen.
So, you're not taking my suggestion to spend 5 minutes reading this document seriously?
The level to contempt and arrogance that kind of response channels gives me a visceral reaction.
@cellfourteen I love how the comments were all but calling this a sketch written by @pluralistic
Or heavily inspired by his observations on how the world is being ruined by corporate madness.
I continue to find it silly where phones are being "rented out" with a "buy to own it" at the end of your contract option.
I guess it makes sticker shock lower and takes away the "hassle" of finding a buyer for an old phone.
I just, never get rid of my old devices. They get repurposed for some other use case unless they literally stop working.
@andrewdwilliams I mean they didn't say "scratch made" so there's that as well.
Really takes away the luster of paying $5 for a little baked treat though.
@mwl having little people in your home adds a new dimension to threat modelling
Clumsy? Ham-fisted? #Microslop!
"Of course, the internet rarely leaves things there. Shortly after Windows Latest posted about Copilot Discord server blocking Microslop on X, users began experimenting in the server with variations such as “Microsl0p” using a zero instead of the letter “o.”"
Er, #Microsl0p
@mttaggart so close to actually responding properly...
"The flood of emails raised suspicions internally at the AQMD. The agency's cybersecurity team reached out to a small subset of people to confirm that they had submitted comments, or had authorized another party to send an email on their behalf. Only five responded. Two confirmed they had sent a message, while three others said they had no knowledge of the letters.
In a statement, air district spokeswoman Nahal Mogharabi confirmed the volume of comments was unusual and the agency was concerned about their authenticity, but said they did not receive enough responses to their inquiry to draw a definitive conclusion."
@futurebird @livcomp my long term project is to move some volunteering work to this platform and this mega thread has been a useful well of ideas on how to justify the move to the rest of my team.
The almost resolved question that has been my main personal stumbling block has been deciding on which instance to select.
@futurebird @diraquel @utopiarte notifications from my closest friends are my solution too
@futurebird @livcomp I mean the world is bigger than the US. Federal or Confederation, to think in Canadian, is considered a good thing elsewhere 
@taylorlorenz @bigolewannabe and given the weird ways Google has been presumably trying to fight spam, it's in some ways breaking email.
I try to email folks from my third party email service and Gmail will periodically block my legitimate messages if I cc too many Gmail people, so I have to use a mass email product instead to reach them which.... Hurts my head.
@taylorlorenz @ben the other thing that struck me ages ago was that if I got notifications on Twitter I'd get a bit of an anxiety spike as the network got progressively more toxic.
Here, it's 99% pleasant and when it's not, it's still not stressful, just a case of folks getting a little too earnestly pedantic and even those edge cases are weirdly endearing.
@wiredfire falling down @cmconseils 's meme tunnel was not what I expected to do this evening but I got some great laughs and it reminded me of another thing few people have mentioned to @taylorlorenz - the extensive and enthusiastic use of #alttext to not only make this place more inclusive for those who need it but to make content easier to understand (and in the case of jokes flying over peoples' heads... Also because they need it).
@RowinSpeez @taylorlorenz @nikatjef no centrally pumped forced ads, but I'd legitimately want to know which server has tried this.
I did a cursory search and this was a top hit that barely answered the question
