@angiebaby straight man here. Can confirm. I am broken.

@futurebird

Good news! They're connected directly to the magnetron so they'll charge your device in a minute or less!!! You no longer need to put your device directly in the microwave. Please note that the popcorn settings is not recommended.

@jpaskaruk

You're not wrong at all. I agree with you. Adafruit has very good street creds, it's just sad to see this happen. Limor Fried is an amazing person and has done so much for the DiY open-hardware community. Her heart is in the right place, that was never in question, its just her embrace of AI in this way is jarring.

For many of us, including myself, Mastodon feels like a last refuge on an internet that is increasingly hostile to authentic human communication. This is why I mute or block blatant brand advertisements and "influencer tactics." I hope Phil reads these words, maybe they need to understand that we, mastodon, are not the internet they think we are and maybe pull that stick out of wherever it is stuck and genuinely enage with us instead of hiding behind a bully pulpit.

Edit: I had unfollowed adafruit yesterday, I just refollowed because I still want to like Adafruit. To you, Adafruit specifically, do right by Mastodon, we are your allies in more ways that one.

To the real "reply-guys" out there on mastodon, go outside and touch grass. lol.

@mcc @adafruit

@mcc @adafruit

oh not to mention the fact that Adafruit is a company and is using Mastodon as a bully pulpit against individuals.

Brands need to GTFO of Mastodon, we don't want brands, we don't want companies, we want people.

@cstross I can't help but wonder if an artist was asked to do images in GenAI and decided to do as little as possible for quality control, sabotaging the system as an art form.

@peter @Viss

Equally satisfying, no response to this that I see in your screenshot.

@cstross

oh yeah, well 60hz works better for clocks.. And our Sonic ran faster than your Sonc... So!.

@jerry line go down.

@HitAndMiss @MaSven @christianschwaegerl @EUCommission

pro-tip: Keep watching after the "credits." You will not be sorry.

@TechConnectify ah, solar. The amazing technology to save the planet, turned into a grift by business bros.

EDIT: OMG THIS VIDEO IS SO MUCH MORE THAN WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE!

This is one of the most important youtube videos I have ever seen. I'm sharing this with everyone I can!

Thank you so much for this video! Thank you!

@scottjenson you're welcome!

@scottjenson oh have I got a blog post for you to read! Brew some coffee because this one takes a little time but it is worth reading, and it dives into the enshittification of UX design.

@Viss oh man I miss all my neighborhood friends sitting in front of the computer playing Scorched Earth. Fun times!

@hosford42 @Clem @szczurtorebkowy @thordis

Oh god I’m sorry. I don’t think there’s any corporate IT job out there that’s safe from LLM AI and it’s snake oil peddlers.

Do you have a paypal or anything like that? Also check around your area for mutual aid. I’m rooting for you.

@jetlagjen @hosford42 @Clem @szczurtorebkowy @thordis

me and my hand-me-down TI/99/4a computer agree with you!

Chance has a lot to do with it.

@hosford42 @Clem @szczurtorebkowy @thordis

how are you doing fellow Xennial? Take care yourself. I'm where you are right now and I sometimes have to pull away from it all and dive into something completely unrelated to the world around me. I've watched most of my friends and family struggle. It is bleak right now and I'm not going to sugarcoat it. It is very scary.

But you're not alone. Stay strong. Once history turns over again, we'll be needed to help with our unique insights and wisdom as children somewhere between two arbitrarily defined albeit unique generations.

Apes, together, strong.

@afewbugs @artemis

Heck, the fact that people even talk on here instead of yelling over each other... Like me here replying to you and agreeing with you how much the algo's just make things worse for everyone.

@bytebro @artemis wow. I never thought of it like that. That's a really good way to view Fedi. It's almost like how the internet is not a place but a series of protocols.

We can improve it.

@sigi714 @GossiTheDog that and every single computer you own has to have a broken and configuration that would make anyone from tech support run for the hills.
