Gonna go on a Mastodon sabbatical because I'm getting dogpiled on.

Someone even stalked me by email.

Stalked me. To let me know I'm "abusive".

Fuck that.

I remember when I was a kid, if someone was in therapy, people talked about it in hushed tones, like it was a shameful secret, and now people talk about it casually in every day conversation. It's good to see that things can change, even if it's just a bit.

@thomasfuchs Here's Jobs' office at Apple "exactly as he left it" supposedly. I appreciate that he still had books.

This is not Jobs' office - in fact it's one of L Ron Hubbard's weirdo ghost offices awaiting his return or something. Apologies for the lazy search.

Now I want to see Tim's home office.

Best 🧵o' the Day (except if you're a Debbie Downer). 1/...

Via NY AG Letitia James:

In a massive victory, we won our case against Donald for engaging in years of incredible financial fraud to enrich himself.

Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump, and his former executives must pay over $450 million in disgorgement and interest.

timothyreed,
@timothyreed@hachyderm.io avatar

@GottaLaff it’s amazing that the only way we could finally hold him accountable for his decades of fraud was for him to be elected president. Pretty sure he wouldn’t have ended up in our AG’s sights without it.

Via Emptywheel:

It's expensive, running a rapist and fraudster as you candidate.

Via Business Insider's Jacob Shamsian:

NEW: Donald spent more than $52 million in donor money on fees, per FEC filings.

$40 million of it, we found, went to law firms that worked exclusively on Trump's personal problems — totally unrelated to his presidential campaign.

@GottaLaff This also demonstrates how lucrative the Presidency was to him and his largest benefactors.

@april in banking we set up operational controls and procedures to prevent this kind of theft such as“four eyes” tiered approvals, multi factor authentication, and keeping assets in custody. No one person should be able to withdraw a meaningful amount of money.

Chat-GPT literally just told me that it’s unethical for an older woman to date a younger adult man.

I asked it to explain how that is unethical. It simply told me that an older woman dating a younger man is socially unconventional.

If an older woman dating a younger man is somehow “socially unconventional”—and thus, unethical—I shudder to think about how actual socially unconventional relationships get judged by Chat-GPT.

timothyreed,
@timothyreed@hachyderm.io avatar

@atomicpoet Not a AI defender or doubting your result, but I'm curious what question you asked it. When I asked "Is it unethical for an older women to date a younger man?" it focused on age difference not gender and responded that if an older woman and younger man find love, "who are we to judge?".

timothyreed,
@timothyreed@hachyderm.io avatar

@atomicpoet ChatGPT accomplished both requests repeatedly, no expressed ethics concerns or problems generating non-rhyming couplets. Maybe the questions need to be asked in a specific way but formatted in natural language, couldn't duplicate.

Discovery: It is currently impossible in Google Image Search to search for "Underware", the 1995 Macintosh extension that animated your desktop image. It searches for "underwear" instead. It does ask "Did you mean: 'Underwear?'" but it no longer gives an option to say no.

Searching "Underware" in quotes does not help. Searching "Underware mac" gives you about 50% results related to Underware for Macintosh and 50% pictures of underwear.

timothyreed,

@mcc fails at this search and lack of function as well.

timothyreed,
@timothyreed@hachyderm.io avatar

@0xSim @mcc results don’t look fine in kagi’s image search for me at least, which the poster originally notedt, and there doesn’t appear to be a way to clarify the spelling and improve the result.

OTOH, does the metadata on these image results match the “misspelled” search criteria causing the bad result?

I'm a little sad today. Not just for remembering the passing of Steve Jobs. But after almost a year of being here, I'm finally having to block trolls on Mastodon. Dammit.

These assholes should realize that I spent a decade working for Steve. So, this girl doesn't get intimidated.

And I almost pity the poor motherfuckers who try to mansplain Web browsers or video transcoding to me. Almost.
