I think it's a shame that the fediverse failed to become the twitter alternative instead. I doubt there'll be another chance.

A set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things

Describes #mastodon's response to #ai and #ml so well...

@npub19lt…qfjk I was asking YOU, as [checks notes] Open Standards / Source / Data geek.
Don't you think the issue here is the training data rather than the clickbaity "AI is racist" angle?

@npub1khx…geyg FWIW this article was discussed on Hacker News, and the consensus there is that the article is exaggerating a bit and the company is getting its data from smart TVs and the like rather then smartphone apps

For the last few days I have been looking for ways to use carrot #greens but nothing was satisfactory... carrot greens pesto was just ok, carrot greens omelette was rubbish. But this #pasta with chickpeas and carrot greens is not bad, there's potential

The Insider has spoken to a #Russian deserter from the front line in #ukraine. ...[he]... says he was tricked into signing a contract with the country’s Defense Ministry and was sent into combat without proper training. He describes the extrajudicial executions of soldiers who refused to participate in “meat grinder” assaults, the rampant alcoholism and drug abuse at the front, and the decaying mood among Russian soldiers.

Back onto #mastodon with a new account after a year break, some observations
- gone are the days when you follow someone and they follow you back... now if you don't know anyone you end up posting mostly to the #void
- some tags like #food are full of grifters and already unreadable

@npub1lmj…mrtx what he says might be right, but let's not forget he's a Putin cheerleader who insisted "the West was making up lies" when news of the impending Ukraine invasion were doing the rounds

@npub1sys…ckr3 i was there too. Of course people could be taught, and when blocked they could ask their geeky friend, but to state it was accessible to anyone is just romanticising the past.

@npub1sys…ckr3 the idea that "anyone" could code a website using the cgi-bin is a bit if a stretch 😜
It's much easier with today's frameworks

@npub17lg…9uux title is click-baity; it wasn't anti-vax as such, it was discrediting a specific Chinese vaccine
