I genuinely have no idea what I’m doing he/him

I put follow requests on since I do some private posts I don't want some random people to see. If you look cool, we've had interactions together, and/or if you're not a bigot, i'll probably allow you.

An iPod, a Phone, an Internet Communicator, and a NES, SNES, N64, GBA, DS emulator.

An iPod, a Phone... are you getting it?!

    The 2024 Winter Classic jerseys were officially released, and if you've known me for any length of time, you know I cannot resist drawing hockey jerseys! This season's matchup is the Vegas Golden Knights and the Seattle Kraken, the league's two newest teams!

    The Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin just said (on Threads) that last night's results show that 90% of political reporting is garbage.

    That's because 90% of "coverage" is speculation and opinion. An email from the NYT "The Tilt" assured me that it was a good night for Democrats but that doesn't mean anything for 2024.

    Rubbish.

    Elections tell us how voters feel. Polls do not and pundits do not.

    The tagline “Master AI before it masters you” is deeply fucking troubling. It plays on existential fears, insinuating that AI is a looming threat ready to replace us.

    That framing is not just misleading - it’s manipulative, preying on people’s anxieties in an age where job security and identity are paramount.

    By suggesting that we’re in a race against AI, it capitalizes on our deepest fears instead of fostering a balanced and informed dialogue.

    afastaudir8,
    @afastaudir8@mastodon.online avatar

    @Daojoan I honestly think that without fear mongering, AI will be used for a lot of good in the future once laws against using it for data collection are put in place, but that’s obviously never gonna happen...

    the funniest thing about Apple is the last version of MacOS features "video reactions" where if your camera sees you do a thumbs up or heart symbol with your hands, stuff happens behind you like fireworks in ANY video app you are using BY DEFAULT.

    A friend was in an online therapy session, describing his trauma so the therapist asked if he was alright and he did a thumbs up and then HUGE FIREWORKS BEHIND HIS HEAD.

    It's so bad that online therapy sessions now start with a warning dialog!

    EFF’s Alexis Hancock presented the last award—the EFF Award for Communications Privacy to the Signal foundation:

    “It is my opinion that Signal helped to create more ubiquitous encryption in our everyday lives.

    Today’s landscape of communication on our devices often leaks information in various ways that can seem futile to stop. It’s difficult to not feel like just a number.

    But on Signal, for a moment in time, you can be just a person again, talking to your friend about your weekend."

    Would you trust Elon Musk with your biometric data?

    With a history of complying with requests from authoritarian regimes, Musk's record will give human rights defenders and marginalised communities cause for alarm.

    Biometric data is permanent and unchangeable to a person. If it gets shared, it can mean lifelong impacts.

    A prospect made ever more threatening without knowing how long the data will be retained, how it's secured, or if it's ever deleted.
