Grumpy ol' codger. Ham since '92 or somethin'.

I'm not the Elephant Man; also not an elephant, man.

It's not that I don't WANT you to follow me. It's that I didn't know that feature existed, until I bumped into it on someone else's profile. So now you know.

Metaphor problems:
People who make games, e.g. Hasbro, Milton Bradley, et al, WANT their games to be popular, so they've a vested interest in it being fun & fair.
The people who made our system of elections do not want more people voting, nor for it to be fair, & certainly not fun. They've a vested interest in keeping power in the hands of white, male, land-owners.
They only SAY they want more voting when they believe only "their" people are listening to them.

I'd be curious to know how much of it is insulation, & how much of it is shadow/shade.
In spring, the last snow to melt is on the north side of the house, and to the north of each pine tree.

Oh heavens, that’s fantastic.

Neighbor across the back yard yesterday was making post-pounding noises all afternoon. Turns out he installed a shiny new 80m counterpoise for me. How nice of him!

Went into Settings, searched for Sentinel.
"Upgrade to Pass Plus, Proton Unlimited, Proton Family, or Business plan to get access to Proton Sentinel."
So it's decided - I will never upgrade.
Add AI to anything that I DO use, and poof, I'm gone.

This isn't to say that there's no good use for LLMs. There are times when entertaining & plausible sounding bullshit is just the ticket.
Like writing marketing copy... which has always been bullshit - we all know this. But there's well-written bullshit, then there's the poorly spelled, grammatically clumsy bullshit that our former marketing person would write. He was crap. Only reason he got that job was he's the son of our VP at the time. They're both gone, thankfully.

Saw some folks on here talking about a survey from #ProtonMail, and noting that @npub19kd…t56d was on Mastodon.
A plea went out to make sure to tell Proton in no uncertain terms that dabbling with AI would spell their doom. I agree.
Any service that is about privacy should have NOTHING to do with AI or LLMs... they are the antithesis of privacy.

OK (reluctantly)... you may have pants, but they cannot have pockets.
Genitals.

This is good.
Keep reminding us. Some of us forget. A lot.
