When they say AI is optional, but your option is to turn it off because they decided AI is default.

Duckduckgo has a survey for pro/anti-AI and I cackled so hard at the (current) results

I'm slowly starting to share more images from my multi-year project "This Land Remembers", an odyssey into the last remaining ancient native woodlands of Scotland (like this one from a brilliant Autumn morning in 2025). I also have an upcoming exhibition at Gallery Photiq this April/May featuring 12 prints from the project, including this image.

I just got an idea for this year's #plushtodon that I'm very proud of but won't be able to share for months to not ruin the surprise. And of course something might prevent it from happening so no guarantees...

The thing about Barnaby is he's somehow even dumber than he looks

An orange tuxedo cat sitting in front of his pile of toys. His tongue is sticking out a little and his eyes look both bright and interested, and absolutely empty of any thoughts whatsoever

If you're also a journalist on Mastodon, please help @blu256@mastodon.social out and fill in this questionaire. I just did it and only took 5 or so minutes. I'm looking forward to seeing the results. #journalism

Luddite shouldn't be used as a insult anymore. They were right about more than most of us are willing to admit.

I have to admit, the performance of a Chromium-based browser compared to Firefox is abysmal. I don't have that many tabs but it lags a lot and the browser constantly puts tabs in hibernation to save memory--something I've never needed with Firefox. So all of you Chrome users live like this? No wonder RAM is in high demand.

I've finally switched to the @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net browser. I've been using Firefox for as long as I've been on the internet, but the focus on AI means it's no longer the browser for me. Thankfully unlike Chrome, Vivaldi supports the uBlock Origin extension which is the most important extension for being able to browse the web nowadays.

Well, if like me, you're looking for a European alternative to Waveform Lighting, euroLighting isn't it. All the numbers are the same on the box (2700K, 800 lumens, >= 95 CRI) but the color is noticeably more piss-yellow 😦
