Oh fuck I've not posted about this all year!

Long-term nuclear waste warning messages are so cool and not just because of ray cats :3

I hate when I'm walking and there's a bird ahead and it tries to get away but it just flies further in the direction I'm going so it has to keep flying and landing and flying and landing and now the bird thinks I'm a weird bird stalker and will probably tell all the other birds😔

Oh you think your Home Assistant install is cursed?

A friend of mine has a broken fridge thermostat. For the last year it has been regulated by Home Assistant using a zigbee temperature sensor, turning the entire fridge off and on with a smart plug. He likes this.

As a reminder, a LOT of the internet animosity against furries is just thinly veiled bigotry against queer people they find unacceptable

Again, linking to Soatok

So much of it was trying to crush and humiliate people who dared to be openly weird and enthusiastic.
Cannot be allowed.

Screenshot from a somethingawful article reading "A huge, huge motivation for early furry hate was homophobia. That remained the one axis on which we (non-furry dweebs) could punch down, no matter the stated justification. Furries helped mainstream majority-queer spaces. That made them easy to mock, because they were unashamed enough to be public with their weird art and their dragon wings and their rejection of all the suffocating norms that still make mainstream geek culture an unrelenting hell.

That invited scorn. It hurt to see others free from the shames that wracked us so. Disgust was the immediate response, a kind of unbodying rejeciton which would seek to purge any otherness from ourselves. Some of us knew it to be queerphobia, and I'm sure that was the motivation for a lot of the early trolling.
Others just wanted to be part of the in-group, and there was no easier way to do that than take a swing at a designated punching bag "

A Pixel Art Redraw of a cat screaming out of the top of their lungs as loudly as they can, while wearing a cowboy hat behind some mountains that are far smaller in comparison to them.

Doctor Who Minus Context
@nocontextwho@mastodon.social

#doctorwho

David Tennant episode. (Aren’t they all?) The Doctor, Christine, and a few other people are walking off a red double decker bus. Just in case you forgot this show is British. It’s a bit knackered, beat up, windows blown out, dented all around, smoking. Also, it’s in the middle of a desert. Wheels embedded in the sand. Caption reads, “Call it a hunch, but I think we’ve gone a little bit further than Brixton.” Hull, maybe?

Firefox uses on-device downloaded-on-demand ML models for privacy-preserving translation.

They're not LLMs. They're trained on open data.

Should translation be disabled if the AI 'kill switch' is active?

Update: Office has not been renamed to, "Microsoft 365 Copilot App"

Like everyone else on the internet Microsoft also has us confused.

Thanks to @tomwarren@mastodon.world we now understand what's changing.
