They should try that fascist nonsense in Wales and see how far it gets them.

~18% of people in Wales including many children are Bilingual.

Mistakes?! I'm shocked, shocked that AI is a total load of bollocks 😌🤦‍♂️

⚠️ Scam alert: if anyone ever asks you to "temporarily change" the email address on your Mastodon account, DO NOT DO THIS.

There is currently a scammer posing as a server admin telling people to temporarily change their Mastodon account's email to an address supplied by the scammer. This is a scam, don't do it.

Real admins will NEVER ask you to do this.

You can see examples of this scam in the thread at https://ohai.social/@redsad/115708030185038699

(Thanks @markwyner for the warning about this! 🙏 )

Not normally what I would associate with @NanoRaptor, but it has a similar vibe they might appreciate 🙂

This is absolutely horrific.

Denying you legal access to the devices you own, or at least your data has to be illegal? 😟

This is only a surprise to the brainwashed and clueless.

They are not AI, they are Dunning-Kruger Accelerators 🤔

Things used in everyday life are the real archaeological treasures! These sewing #needles were made from animal bone some 15,000 years ago. Some designs simply don't need to be improved, because form and functions were perfectly matched from the start. Form follows function!
Found in the Grotte du Placard à Vilhonneur (Charente).

Clicking in the bottom right of the page opens the settings pane where you can adjust pretty much everything to modify the built in clocks, change captions etc, or create your own completely custom ones.

Your custom parameters are stored in the gigantic ugly URL, so you an bookmark and share your creations.

Completely ignoring those who might choose to wear traditional Scottish attire, of course.

Federation isn’t just a feature, it’s how we reject oppression by design.

In the EU, Big Centralised Tech is facing fines for selling verification and hiding ads. At Mastodon, we’re building something different: a space where no one buys influence and there simply aren't any ads.

Checks and balances are our foundation, and kindness is our compass. 🌈

I wonder if they would make for a different OS level screensaver also 🙂🤷‍♂️

It's still a work in progress, but seems stable enough for "public beta", so by popular demand here's a standalone version of the parametric clock generator I recently added to my online teletext viewer:

As long as Spotify is taking money from ICE, they don’t need or deserve free advertising for Spotify Wrapped.

Stop using Spotify until the ICE recruitment ads stop (and be on the lookout for Fascism Wrapped in Los Angeles, Austin, and NYC): http://indivisible.org/cancel-spotify?source=mastodon
