Any recommendations for Mastodon servers to run a bot account on? It posts a maximum of one image/GIF a day, so not high traffic. I guess I could always just do mastodon.social, or my own server.

@npub1m54…ea4k It's an ESI RoMI/O. Glad to hear this isn't the normal situation. It's funny that on Mac it just works but on Windows it seems to be confused until there's a driver.

Shocked and apalled to find out Windows requires *drivers* for a USB MIDI interface?? You can't just plug it in and have it work????
Like for comparison I have one I bought in 2005 for Mac OS X 10.4 and it works without a driver on modern macOS. No drivers required. I thought I could just plug it into our PC and have it work... thankfully the Windows 8.1 drivers that were last updated in 2013 still work. For now.

And this is why you don’t store floppies next to acidic paper.

Oh dear. It's very funny that Air Canada tried to pull the “well, the AI chatbot lied, not *us*" as a legal argument. https://bc.ctvnews.ca/air-canada-s-chatbot-gave-a-b-c-man-the-wrong-information-now-the-airline-has-to-pay-for-the-mistake-1.6769454

EDIT: Google have been shamed into fixing this since the first time I tested.

This is a *fascinating* concept for games studies - "quotes" of a game that don't just show you a clip of gameplay, but actually let you take control and try it out. It trims the ROM down to only what's needed to run the quote, so this might even pass a fair dealing/fair use test in court if it came down to it - just like quoting a passage of text, or a clip of a movie.
