We can’t let thinking of that level of depth disappear, and sorry but fuck the AI corporate invasion of academic work. I got into this racket to take my mind into new places, and to try to develop a novel perspective to solve problems. No one is allowed to simulate my experience of thought for me.

I got these frozen morning buns from Trader Joe’s that you let proof over night and then bake in the morning. My house is now the best cafe within a 30 min drive.

This is how you know that they're not serious about "Compete with China!🤡" but they are serious about being anti-Black and anti-woman.

Because intentionally abdicating the US' lead in science in favor of being more anti-woke, only satisfies one of these objectives, at the expense of the other.

Love to see @gandersocial.ca ship this! For those not in Canada, "Interac e-Transfers" are a thing that any Canadian human with a KYC'd bank account can do, so act as a "pretty good" way to filter out bots, especially foreign ones.

Gander Social @gandersocial.ca

We just launched another Human Check option: a $2 Interac e-Transfer. The full $2 CAD goes to Food Banks Canada.

Gander never sees, much less stores, your banking details.

Our very smart advisor Blaine Cook had the idea. Making it work took some doing.

Full blog:

A new way to complete Human Check on Gander, and this one involves a toonie! The graphic shows Gander's $2 Interac e-Transfer option alongside the headline, “Give a toonie for charity to show you're human.” No government-issued ID, biometrics or extra app required. The full $2 goes to Food Banks Canada, and Gander never sees your banking details. Not bad for two bucks!

How does a toonie become a Human Check? This step-by-step graphic walks through it. Choose the $2 Interac option on Gander, receive a request for the money, and complete it through your own online banking. After an estimated 0–3 minutes, Gander shows a cheerful “You're all set!” confirmation. That's it. You're ready to join the conversation!

Just saw a museum of children’s art in Oakland. Maybe I’m ignorant, but I don’t think we need that.

RIP to one of the realest who ever did it www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

He’s forever known for playing Jean-Luc Picard and Charles Xavier, whom he “admired for their morality, for their kindness, for their sensitivity, for their compassion.”

Like, imagine platform-agnostic feeds that can recommend content according to their algorithms in varying lexicons and using the same moderation services (labellers) across different apps.

Also want to see a standard base profile record, which would enable OAuth improvements, FedCM & OIDC

wait - so how are people implementing feeds in #atproto apps that aren't bluesky-centric? I don't think I understand this since everything I'm reading is pointing to use app.bsky.feed.generator?

my favorite genre of social media post is when someone on Nextdoor asks a question starting with "Hey, does anyone know why…" or "does anyone want this…" and someone in the comments with "I dont know" or "no thanks".

For a lot of decision makers right now, “good” is either a model provider problem or a skill issue for their integration team, not something that real time, energy, and resources must be invested in.
