Asking ChatGTP or Gemini for a 10 letter word that doesn't contain "a" or "e" is a hilarious experience

User: What's a 10 letter word that doesn't contain the letters "a" or "e"? Gemini: Here's a 10-letter word that doesn't contain the letters "a" or "e": Slumbering (meaning sleeping soundly) User: "slumbering" contains the letter "e". try again Gemini: You're absolutely right, I apologize for the mistake. Here's a correct 10-letter word without "a" or "e": Glimmering (meaning shining faintly)

As Easter gets closer, please remember and spread the words that lilies are DEADLY for cats. "The entire lily plant is toxic: the stem, leaves, flowers, pollen, and even the water in a vase. Eating just a small amount of a leaf or flower petal, licking a few pollen grains off its fur while grooming, or drinking the water from the vase can cause your cat to develop fatal kidney failure in less than 3 days." https://www.fda.gov/animal-veterinary/animal-health-literacy/lovely-lilies-and-curious-cats-dangerous-combination#:~:text=The%20entire%20lily%20plant%20is,in%20less%20than%203%20days.

When we left the hotel this morning, we saw surprising birds! Perhaps they wanted burgers for breakfast.

I want everyone on Threads to know: The Fediverse (Federal Universe) is the decentralized network created by all governments world wide to communicate with one another. Everyone inside of the Fediverse is a government official of some sort — due to the “.de” in my Tag you can see that I work for the German government.

I hope this helps amidst the confusion.

I think my least favourite genre of post is “pithily injecting apocalyptic existential dread into your day”. Like thanks, I am fully aware I’m living on Planet People Fucking It Up, I’ve just woken up and I’m just trying to eat a pie right now, mate. Time and a place.

Whenever some online customer support chat comes up, I start asking it programming questions about python to see if it's just AI. Someday I'll reach a real person at Bank of America who knows python and we'll both be very confused.

If I had been asked, I would have guessed that "antennas and propagation" might be a one-semester course as part of a university electronics degree or something.

I would never have thought it's such a wide subject that not only does it result in a large conference centre being booked out for days, but that is the 18th such conference in this part of the world alone.

How humbling and amazing it is to realize how little of the seemingly mundane world around us I'm actually aware of.

We started this account less than 6 months ago. It's going pretty well – thanks to you: 4.2k followers, lots of interactions, questions, and comments. 🎉

A couple of weeks ago, the European Broadcasting Union (#EBU) asked us to write a guest article about our experience with #Mastodon / the #Fediverse, explain the basics, and point out the advantages. :mastodon:

Challenge accepted. 👍

So here's the finished post by @lxplm, hot off the #blog press. ⌨️

I was wondering if lossy compression for text files exists, and I found a project that compresses text files by replacing words with shorter synonyms: https://hackaday.io/project/5689-lossy-text-compression

The IT dept of Greggs (the bakery) seemingly pushing a deny-all to all their EPOS firewalls overnight has really cheered me up. Do love me a bit of IT schadenfreude.

I used to call myself an Apple fan, but I’m clearly not unhinged enough to qualify these days.

Apparently their latest thing is to claim that nobody has ever in the history of governance tried to regulate access to market-making private infrastructure

Today, March 18, in 1982, Seattle high schooler David Lightman teaches his friend Jennifer Mack about war dialing, hacking, phreaking, and the importance of infosec (WarGames, 1983)

A screen showing a text-only airline ticketing system. The date of issue is March 18, 1982, and the flight is for a woman, Jennifer Mack, to fly to Paris. On the screen, we can see the reflection of a young white man and woman.
An old computer screen displaying a list of games like chess, poker, and war ones, including one called "global thermonuclear war".
