I’m less interested in shaming individuals for liking or not liking Harry Potter (or whatever their kink may be) than I am in the practical, concrete work of keeping money out of JK Rowling’s hands.

Why should you care? Well, you should care if you care about super-cheap options to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions💨🏭. The production of Nitric Acid and a few other chemicals🧪 causes N₂O, which is the third-most important Greenhouse Gas, and has a warming effect 273 times larger than CO₂.

We’re a month into Trump’s increasingly disastrous Iran war,
and we have no idea what’s really going on.
In part, that’s because Trump is now nothing but a creature of pure id
surrounded by enablers,
running the country like an enormous out-of-control toddler.
But it’s also because the administration is not at all interested in providing the American people with objective, reliable information.
That erasure of truth leaves us unmoored.

My mother is making fun of me that I'm only talking to seniors. But let's be honest, whom else would I talk to? Seniors seem to be practically the only people interested in engaging in a conversation with strangers on the train, and being able to keep it ongoing. And sometimes I feel like I'm so detached from modernity that they're the only people I have common topics with (such as travels).

To be clear: with these people I always look to opportunism before conspiracy to explain their actions — but when you have this kind of rapidly convergent manufactured consensus within a political group, the distinction between those two becomes blurry.
Looking for malicious premeditation is probably just pursuing a red herring. I’m more interested in how they form their response, what they’re doing to try to shape public conversation, social media, the press.

- Offer a "follow for a week" / month option
- "We'll ask you when time's up"

I hit this time and time again for moment in time events where during the thick of it, I'm invested and interested - conferences, world news, etc - but after which there's no more signal in the hashtag and it's just detritus putting load on a server somewhere.

Hmmm the Garmins look interesting!
The Venu 4 (and Forerunner 970, tho that’s way too big for my wrist and more expensive) have most of what I want, and their phone app is optional!!
Not sure exactly what features I’d be missing with no phone connection (specially considering that it has no lte/mobile data), tho the phone app supports both iOS and Android so maybe once Bluetooth on Waydroid is a thing I could get that to work too!
I don’t think I’d be missing anything from my current Apple Watch (s5) or even from newer AWes other than the Ultras (which are also too big for my wrist, and too expensive). The Ultras have a depth sensor for diving which is really really cool, while the FR and Venu aren’t water resistant enough for that (Garmin has a way more specialised smartwatch for that, with a mostly non-overlapping featureset).
Both the FR and the Venu are rated for swimming, which is cool, but neither of those are proper for diving (I don’t really dive, tho that’s something I’m interested in trying out in the future). I think it should be safe enough for when I go around swimming in the pool or beach tho? Well, I don’t usually keep my Apple Watch on when swimming anyway. It’s just nice to know that if I were to get more sportive about that it’d be a possibility.
I think the only disadvantage of the Venu compared to the FR is the lack of a Maps app, tho that’s totally fine ig. Also no HR while swimming and less storage. The FR is 2mm bigger than my current 45mm s5 apple watch, and I already find this too big. The Venu has a 41mm option which is what I’d get if I decided to go for it.
OH AND THEY BOTH HAVE SUPER PRETTY COLOR OPTIONS, INCLUDING A LAVANDER ONE FOR THE VENU!! :blobcataww:
(the FR has lots of very pretty options too!!)
This is mostly just brainstorming rn, but does anyone around here have any experience with the Garmin smartwatches? It’d be nice to see opinions from someone who owns one of them :3

There is a @homeassistant@fedigroups.socialbot that replaces the old gup.pe home assistant bot.

There’s also @… - follow that and it will automatically boost everything you post with #homeassistant without you having to remember to mention the bot.
For those who don’t know, these bots exist because when you look for a a hashtag, your server only checks the posts that have been federated to it.
In order for a message to be federated to your server, the author (or one of the people boosting it) have to be followed by someone on your server. If no one touching the message is being followed, it’ll never get federated to your server and you won’t see it.
Hashtags are great for finding messages, but only messages that were federated to your server. They don’t help message propagation, but these bots will.

I was quite interested in the new atheism movement ~20y ago. I recently remembered something: It surprised me that many of its prominent figures who otherwise would jump on every opportunity to criticize religion (often rightfully so) weren't particularly keen on highlighting the sexual abuse cases in the catholic church.
I guess that observation becomes a lot more interesting knowing that many of the prominent new atheism figures were friends of Jeffrey Epstein.

Is is possible on Mastodon to follow two different hashtags, but to mute where they both appear in the same post?
Like, #ticketing can mean "box office ticketing" which is what I do, and "help desk ticketing" which I'm not interested in.
If I follow #ticketing

Periodic reminder for people interested in #HomeAssistant
There is a @homeassistant@fedigroups.socialbot that replaces the old gup.pe home assistant bot.
Mention it in your home asssitant posts and it will boost them. Follow it to see all the #homeassistant posts it boosts that may not normally get federated to your instance.
There’s also @… - follow that and it will automatically boost everything you post with #homeassistant without you having to remember to mention the bot.
For those who don’t know, these bots exist because when you look for a a hashtag, your server only checks the posts that have been federated to it.
In order for a message to be federated to your server, the author (or one of the people boosting it) have to be followed by someone on your server. If no one touching the message is being followed, it’ll never get federated to your server and you won’t see it.
Hashtags are great for finding messages, but only messages that were federated to your server. They don’t help message propagation, but these bots will.

Following federal cuts to history-focused organizations, the president of the Canadian Historical Association, Colin Coates, sent this letter to Marc Miller, the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture.
One thing might not be obvious: Coates's reference to Carney's recent Quebec City speech suggests Canadians' need for historical context right now. He doesn't agree with Carney's claims. In fact, most Canadian historians would dispute them.

Letter:

Dear Minister Miller,
I am writing to you in my capacity as president of the Canadian Historical Association | Société historique du Canada. The members of our association have been distressed to see the recent news about cutbacks in a number of federal government units that are very important to all Canadians who are interested in the history of our country: Library and Archives Canada, the Canadian Museum of History and the Canadian War Museum, Parks Canada, and Statistics Canad…
Letter:

While we cannot expect the federal government to address problems at the provincial level, in your role as Minister of Canadian Heritage, we hope that we can count on you to advocate on behalf of all Canadians to maintain and enhance the role of agencies that collect data and records and make them accessible to broad publics. We recognise that the country faces many current challenges, but we do not want short-sighted decisions to have long-lasting effects on the future study of the co…

‘Only Embrace’ was actually called ‘Only Envelope’ for the longest time, partly because along with the emotional layer I was interested in breaking free of any use of percussion - rather implying rhythm through envelopes programmed into the patches (along with musical use of shifting compression flaring in response to these, and then saturation that would “bloom” out in various M/S configurations.)

I would love it if we all took note of (and remembered) the following: the guy everyone knows is a sociopathic, purely self-interested, unrepentantly gleeful liar who is also visibly going through serious mental decline makes a long and incoherent speech without any indication that much of what he said is true in even the most cursory sense and traders say "yeah, good enough." Entrusting society's material future to the stock market is rational, ennit?

LLMs have no model of correctness, only typicality. So:
“How much does it matter if it’s wrong?”
It’s astonishing how frequently both providers and users of LLM-based services fail to ask this basic question — which I think has a fairly obvious answer in this case, one that the research bears out.
(Repliers, NB: Research that confirms the seemingly obvious is useful and important, and “I already knew that” is not information that anyone is interested in except you.)

…if we’re watching for a mass turn in popular sentiment against a would-be authoritarian, then it’s the vibes that matter. The guts lead and the facts follow later, if at all.
It’s significant that a mainstream (if salacious) news outlet is running this story at all. It’s significant that it’s making the rounds in my fairly fact-focused TL. I’m interested in who’s repeating this, who’s joking about it, whether it becomes an acceptable SNL gag, whether centrist pundits feel the need to start refuting it.
Vibes.
