@barney I just KNEW this is what happened, which is why I asked that you check w/ her first before blocking.

Not sure if you saw, but via @deborahh to you

Folks: SO sorry. That was meant to be the weeping emoji 😭

I'm so sorry, this is a terrible time and I did not mean to cause you grief. Sincerest apologies 🙏

(I edited it. Fixed.)

Do you want to schedule your posts on Mastodon so that you write them now and they are automatically published later?

Some third party apps including Tusky and Fedilab have a built-in scheduling option. Fedilab also runs a website at https://plan.fedilab.app which lets you schedule posts.

If you want a professional scheduled post management system, there are third party commercial services such as https://publer.io and https://buffer.com that now include Mastodon compatibility.

@feditips also @megalodon for android, which I find excellent.
(I use it to reach audiences in different time zones, so they don't miss my posts).
(Also, for insomniac posts, when my followers are soundly sleeping 😁)

Edit: because 😂

@gdinwiddie dyslexiq strikes again 🤣 .. somehow I spotted "ideaocracy" in your post! (Looked again, nope, not there. )

Wow! 124 brain researchers call out what journalists call the "leading theory of consciousness" (integrated information theory, IIT) as pseudoscience.

https://psyarxiv.com/zsr78/

💯​: We need testable theories about the brain to move forward. Every theory starts as a proto-theory (and that's fine). But when theories are not even wrong
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_even_wrong
we must acknowledge that.

Especially when the stakes are as high as they are here, with big ethical implications (eg for organoids and coma patients, as the authors describe).

@NicoleCRust interesting!
If you have a sec, I'd love a one-toot TL;DR on this 🙂

I know some people have issues with things written with , but it's helped me a lot. I am , have difficulty writing (especially longer content), and have difficulty putting complex ideas in an easy-to-understand way that flows. ChatGPT has helped me write a lot faster and better.

CNN: Elon Musk secretly ordered engineers to turn off his company’s satellite communications network near the Crimean coast last year to disrupt a Ukrainian sneak attack on the Russian naval fleet, according to an excerpt from a new biography. https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/07/politics/elon-musk-biography-walter-isaacson-ukraine-starlink/index.html

@w7voa oh, I read "least adequate" and nodded. 😕

An idea for a Mastodon - an feature for peeps, who find the Post button to be a thinly veiled masking device for ‘Hide all Mistakes’.

Toot Buddy: Instead of pressing Post and sending your malformed, error strewn riddle into space, you tap ‘Buddy Correct’. The post gets sent to your drafts AND to chosen mate, who spots all the clangers and hits ‘comprehensible’. You get an alert and hit ‘Post’.

(Wipes sweaty brow, turns away from investors and stumbles into lift. )

Just checked in on my "US news" mastodon list. Eww.

Yeah, not gonna do that again soon.
Election posturing and blame slinging.

Enough 🖐

@gdinwiddie I do like Anand's ideas. I don't read much :-) but I did attend a community call when he published his last book. 👍
