Good morning all! I tried to migrate this account a few weeks ago, and it didn't quite work, so trying it again... If you're following and wish to continue following, and you aren't automatically transferred in the next few days, come and find me @mothninja@beige.party <3

@LeoR1010 tack snälla Leo! 💚

THIS ACCOUNT IS MOVING
to @mothninja@beige.party

See you on the other side 💕

I've been meaning to migrate my account (hello Beige!) for weeks now, I've got the excellent feditips guide, but it still feels like a monumental complicated task that I don't have the spoons for. (Do I have to do it via the web interface or can a phone app handle it?) Could any of you lovely […]

@jon trevlig resa!

A sunny wall, with sand-coloured plaster crumbling away to expose terracotta brick. What makes the texture interesting are deep scratch marks in the brick in the centre of the photo, which look like giant furious claw marks, as if an angry Wolverine has taken out his frustrations on the wall with both hands. A bent drainpipe frames the top right hand corner, and throws a black shadow on to the wall.

The rooftops of the island of Giudecca along the bottom of the frame. Above, roiling dark grey clouds in a pale grey sky, full of foreboding.

Although thinking about it, this is also true of Daffy and Donald (part of the Duck dynasty), and Mickey Mouse. (Nor Minnie Mouse though, her maiden name was Cowles). Makes you wonder whether there's correlation between nominative determinism and success in the animation industry.

Just thinking what an incredible bit of nominative determinism 'Deputy Dawg' is. Noth the 'Deputy' bit, obviously. That's his job title.

I mean the 'Dawg' bit.

This preprint describing the "cognitive debt" accrued by using LLMs to outsource your thinking should not surprise anyone who is actually engaged with students and teaching.

It has been painfully apparent from the start that this software actively deters and prevents students (and everyone else […]

In the end it seems to me that one of the main distinctions between people who see LLMs as good and those who don't is whether they see the digital part of the world as "content" or "people".

If it's all just content, LLMs make sense. If it's where people live LLMs become a somewhat dumb idea.

nice work, @apnews.com

A pastel-red wall, with a bit of greenery visible in the top right hand corner of the frame. Someone has graffitied in white capital letters, "l'arte è morta, Venezia è la sua tomba" (Art is dead, Venice is its tomb) to which someone has added in pale blue an "s" and "mbra" on either side of the e, so it now reads, much more accurately, "L'arte sembra morta, Venezia sembra la sua tomba" (Art appears dead, Venice appears to be its tomb)

Not #CrossBorderRail directly, but I've written an opinion piece for The Guardian about the stalling development of night trains in Europe, and why Nox - a new Berlin startup - has some interesting ideas how to solve some of the issues […]

@meraord hur lyckades du med denna trollkonst??

@RoyReed fantastic shot!

The head of an otter sticks out of the water creating a series of ripples.

I saw the otter on the River Camel in Wadebridge #Cornwall again last night at about half an hour before sunset.

He's younger than me. And that makes me feel so youthful and radiant. Granted it's a low bar, but give it a try. Look up his age.

@futurebird whaaat he is more than a decade younger than me?! Wow. Evil takes its toll, huh.

Claude Malhuret, who has become President Trump’s European nemesis. His barbed speeches, viewed tens of millions of times, have cast the president as an “incendiary emperor” and suggested that “never before has anyone so trampled on the Constitution.”With a scathing directness little heard from politicians in the United States and prompted by what he sees as a presidential assault on America’s essential checks and balances, Mr. Malhuret has compared Mr. Trump to two tyrannical Roman emperors, Nero and Caligula. But he has added that, if Caligula named his horse a consul, “at least that horse did no harm to anyone.”The White House did not respond to a request for comment on the senator’s onslaught.

Three arched windows set in a sunlit ochre wall. The window on the left has its green wooden shutters open, revealing a nut-brown bamboo screen blocking the glass, and a window box of green flowers beneath it. The two windows on the right are set very close to each other, one with its shutters closed and also window-boxed, and the one on furthest right with shutters half-open, the afternoon sunlight luminous against the glass. There is a thick line of cables running along the top of the image, and a thin one running down the middle

Close-up shot of a delicate white flower with a yellow center, resting on a round, vibrant green lily pad. The lily pad floats on dark, calm water, which reflects some subtle light and creates a soft ripple effect around the edges of the pad. Below the lily pad, slender, dark green stems are visible submerged in the water. Aponogeton distachyos, also known as waterblommetjie, Cape-pondweed, water hawthorn and vleikos is an aquatic flowering plant native to South Africa's Western Cape and Mpumalanga provinces.
