Wow, I've hardly been watching any YouTube lately. Just looked at my time watched for the last 7 days and it's only 2 hours and 24 minutes. 😆

Videos take too long to watch and I would rather read instead. 😁 :blobcatread:

Yesterday I logged into my account and was surprised to see in the stats that my is getting consistent views, despite the fact that there's nothing on the homepage except a title lol.

I'm thinking I might write up something in for the homepage since I don't know enough to style a page. Better than nothing. 😆

@george Are you thinking of Geocities? Neocities is the newer version of Geocities.

So I was just looking at Flipboard and...it looks pretty cool. 😲 Lots of articles so seems like something I would enjoy using. 😆 Not sure why I haven't used it, I did have an account a while back but ended up deleting it. Kind of tempted to make a new account. 🤔

I don't know what to write about on my WordPress blog, which is why I only have one blog post from a month ago lol 😂

Haven't been very active on lately. Feeling like I want to start posting more again :blobcathappy: :mastodon:

@noellemitchell@mstdn.social avatar

It's cool that Kobo has a new color e-reader coming out, but I think I'll just continue buying used print books. 😆 Don't need another electronic device.

I wish smartphones were designed with batteries that pop out. So when the battery gets old you just pop in a new one, like replacing a battery in a flashlight or something similar. It would be less expensive for the consumer and also more environmentally friendly. Both of those things are probably why it will never happen but I can still dream. 😂

@sennoma I've seen the Fairphone before but as far as I know it's not available in the US. Which is disappointing.

@noellemitchell@mstdn.social avatar

No I don't want a phone with "great battery life" I want a phone with a REMOVABLE BATTERY. How hard is it to find one here in the US?? 😩 :blobcatangry:

AI Companies Are Running Out of Internet

"Some industry estimates say they'll run out of internet to burn through in about two years, as both high-quality data becomes scarce, and as certain companies keep their data out of the hands of AI."

Wow FediDB says that there's now 10,051,880 users on the fediverse.

https://fedidb.org/

Just three days ago it was 10,009,051: https://mstdn.social/@noellemitchell/112210647591565969

I wonder why the sudden huge increase? 😵

Report: OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Meta Stole Content at Scale to Train AI

"...OpenAI in 2021 created a speech recognition tool called Whisper that could transcribe the audio in YouTube videos to create text for training its ChatGPT AI. It did so despite the opposition of employees who argued that Whisper violated YouTube’s rules. And it did so at scale, creating over one million hours of YouTube video transcripts."

Oh yeah I forgot to post about this!

March 14th 2022 was when I deactivated my Twitter account, which means it's been over 2 years since I left the platform. I don't miss it at all and highly recommend leaving. 😄 :twitter:

@brandoncarey I like Happy Fediversary, it would make a nice hashtag. 😄

Unfortunately I think I have to replace my Android phone soon, something I'm not excited about. I don't want to have a smartphone at all, but it's hard to not have one with the way things work in society. Extremely annoying and wasteful.

According to FediDB there's 218k new users on the fediverse since last month 😲 that's a huge increase

LinkedIn targets users caught between TikTok and what used to be Twitter

"Two weeks ago, TechCrunch broke the news that LinkedIn was getting into games, helping users “deepen relationships” through puzzle-based interactions. And on Wednesday, TechCrunch reported that the Microsoft-owned social network was experimenting with short-form videos."
