Kind of want to AI clone Richard Stallman’s voice, just so that I can run it on an iPhone and have it gradually freak the fuck out.

@deadsuperhero Imagine a GPS that used AI to read out directions in the style, and voice, of Linus Torvald's angry rants on the LKML. That would be epic.

@hankg Do you have the Mastodon link to that post (since Masto renders it) so I can include it in the bug report?

Ja'Han Jones reports:

"The Pew Research Center has released a report that underscores how the claims that there has been a seismic shift toward Republicans among nonwhite voters have been wrong all along."

Republicans make stuff up, and the purported shift of Black voters to Trump is totally made up. The significant question here is, Why do New York Times and major media outlets amplify this stuff? They surely know better.

President Joe Biden’s Threads account @potus is federating on the Fediverse!

And I’m following him from atomicpoet.org!

Wow! This is as monumental as Barack Obama joining Twitter! A truly historic day for the !

@atomicpoet @potus @fediversenews It's only a one-way feed though.

  1. Do our politicians need a larger bully pulpit than what they already have?
  2. Kind of defeats the entire "social" purpose of "social media" then doesn't it?

@CWSmith @fediversenews @atomicpoet @potus

Nice deflection.

I don't remember any account talking back and not causing the politico more problems.

If a politician isn't willing to engage with their constituents, do they really deserve my vote?

Fine. Then how about answering my questions?

Maybe if Biden was forced to hear from his constituents he might learn that his policies towards Israel are woefully unpopular. Instead he's insulated himself and only hears from his sycophants.

At least Obama got out there and talked to the people. Before this campaign season started when was the last time Biden actually sat down and met with his constituents?

If I want to just hear what the White House says there are a multitude of avenues to be spoon fed the spin.

My point is it's not really that great that @potus is here. Not when Threads is only broadcasting Threads users to the Fediverse and not taking any of the replies. (And I'm a staunch supporter for Threads being on the fediverse!)

But another broadcast channel is the absolute last thing we need.

There really needs to be a way for an instance admin to be able to automatically ignore reports from a specific server. Especially when those users have no fucking clue what it is they're reporting.

@trendless Not often I find something that Mastodon does well, yet here we are.

Welp, Linux Mint LMDE just does not like my hardware. I couldn't successfully get through updates due to "Unknown key type PC_SUPER_LEVEL2" errors popping up all over the place, breaking GRUB and some other things. I decided to give Pop!_OS another whirl on this machine.

@machias Pop!_OS rocks! Switched to it from Mint many years ago.

I mean this was the inevitable outcome. I hate that my messaging is tied to specific platforms like Apple or Facebook. Tech savvy people like me can find some niche workaround but it will take government regulation to make that available to the masses.

@hankg Two services:

  • Signal
  • WhatsApp

Your messaging is only tied to a specific ecosystem if you want it to be.

gme,
@gme@queerfedi.com avatar

@hankg Have you even used it? Recently? (Signal)

It's far from niche. It's a helluva lot more mainstream than "Matrix" or even Telegram.

Also, WhatsApp may be "Facebook" but it's the #1 messaging app around the World.
