As a history buff I can assure you what youโ€™re describing is accurate for just โ€œnunโ€ ๐Ÿ˜

The worst part of Diane Keaton passing away is being forced to see all these pictures of Woody fucking Allen in my feeds.

Iโ€™m going to have to go back and listen to our old #podcast episodes to figure out how long ago I switched to #linux. I keep thinking โ€œa yearโ€ but Iโ€™ve been thinking that for a while. Iโ€™ll bet itโ€™s closer to 2.

If I see you posting AI slop, it's an instant block. Even if you think it's cute or says a lot about society. If you are purporting that some AI slop is real news, I will report you for misinformation, and then block you. Sloppers should be marginalised.

We currently have a generation of children being raised on #AI slop. While it will damage the majority, a certain percentage will rebel when they hit their teens.

I welcome the New Luddites who will know exactly what machine to rage against.

Then: We store huge amounts of data and process it with speed and pinpoint accuracy in a small box that sits on your desk.

Now: We build vast data centers to boil lakes and make a machine that's wrong a lot.

#AI has made computers bad at being computers.

Waiting on a delayed foam shipment before I can continue my work so of *course* #steam is down at the moment.

Dear Kevin: do not get on the exercise bike in a hot/humid apartment on a rainy day when you canโ€™t open the windows for ventilation. And now to lie down until the nausea goes away ๐Ÿคข

You certainly don't need me to point out a GN video but they really are doing some sterling work these days. We of the #linux tribe should curb our gatekeeping and welcome our new siblings with open arms.

Letโ€™s try this, then. Hey @jay.bsky.team: I wish that JK Rowling lives a long and healthy life and every moment is filled with the same pain, trauma and fear she has promoted against #trans people.

Come on, whatโ€™s a nobody like me gotta do to get noticed?

Fediverse exclusive! Frankie Play! vtuber troll (as in fantasy monster) plays Warframe. - 10/5/2025, 4:57:21 PM Direct to the Fediverse!

Forget @jay.bsky.team and her cadre of Libertarian creeps. Come to the #fediverse, where itโ€™s *actually* decentralized.

We have stuff like this. Canโ€™t get this on #bluesky. #warframe #vtuber

Iโ€™m weirdly #linux impressionable. I keep both #bazzite and #cachyos on my main system and basically switch whenever I read someone say something nice about either one.

a bunch of libertarians set out to make a blockchain social media paradise for the crypto bourgeois but instead their dad abandoned them and their house got overrun by transsexuals

I understand @jay.bsky.team has been deleting posts who criticize her recent... things. Fuck that. Come at me. Your #transphobia sucks, your pretext at "decentralization" is a shadow puppet (trust me) and you're driving away the very people who made this place. Go ahead, punish me.

Went to see #Kingfish tonight. 3rd time, he was amazing as usual. The crowd, however, was a bit much. I have a real limited tolerance for drunk normals who are there to rock out despite a total lack of rhythm or personal space.

I am increasingly of the opinion that the "It Just Works" mantra is a curse. While a noble goal, setting that expectation trains users to reject anything that doesn't supply instant gratification.

As Veronica Explains so wisely said recently, "Jank is a feature. Embrace it."

Notice how every #AI gen โ€œactressโ€ or โ€œgirlfriendโ€ always looks like a 12yo in heavy makeup? It ainโ€™t trans people or drag queens who are the pedos, folks.

I hate every fucking minute I'm forced to participate in mainstream social media and thanks to @jay.bsky.team's bullshit courting transphobes you can add this place to the list.

No replies, not interested in debate me bros.

Lesson Iโ€™ve yet to learn: I need to #exercise before I start my workday, cuz once Iโ€™m going, I donโ€™t stop until Iโ€™m out of gas. Which means back to the treadmill at the gym as outdoor walks before 8am tend to be pre-sunrise this time of year ๐Ÿซค
