@loriemerson Whoa, I’d gladly pay you for a pdf! And also gladly buy the second printing if my local bookshop doesn’t come through.

@loriemerson is Other Networks going to be available as an ebook? I've got it on preorder from my local bookshop, but now I'm paranoid they're not going to be able to get it! I'd much rather have the physical thing, but I really want to read it regardless.

@latte How do you like that vertical mouse? I've been considering one of those since I've been having wrist pain.

@ehmatthes Box turtle!

@skinnylatte What do those go for these days? I’ve always been fascinated by that model.

Reject modernity, return to aquatic invertebrate lifestyle

@tante I like @things and Bear (notes app) for that stuff, but they’re only on Apple

@n8foo oh good point! I actually have a macro lens now that I got for film digitizing. I should go outside with it.

Seeing the world through anti-"AI" lenses is neat because it helps you filter out just the worst people.

Look, I know AI is controversial, but just for a moment, let's set aside our preconceived notions, our biases, the environmental impact, the massive cost to train and run models, the labor exploitation, the intellectual property theft, the inaccuracies, the mania it causes in users, the destruction of search, the deskilling of professionals, the devaluation of creative work, job losses, and lack of economic value from enterprise implementations.

Wait, what were we talking about?

@n8foo whoa, I saw a very similar thing today!

@CodenameTim Very handsome! Thanks for sharing.

@CodenameTim We need photos of Beef and Roland!

I am begging writers & writing-related-workers of all kinds—but especially people working in journalism and blogs—to stop using “AI art” to accompany your writing.

Please have solidarity with your fellow creative workers 💜

@jong0uld oh my god I’m so sorry. My heart hurts for you.

@jonhicks @getkirby Kirby is the best. Not enough people know this.

At first I thought it said “Let’s White” and that was pretty accurate anyway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn59j75Q1Mc

@jnonfiction 🎂

@lesley @db I’m with you. When I see that crap, I pass it up without reading.

@skinnylatte @shom Whoa! That's so cool!
