I decided to take timeout for wellbeing at a local fen. Was lovely there.

Only took the essentials of course!

I woke up at 5am, is lunch acceptable at 11am? 🤔😅

So, yesterday I dropped a cola can in my office, and stupidly, I opened it too quickly after this. It ended pretty much as you can imagine.

I cleaned the floor at the time, and thought, that the place looked a bit dusty... so I've just spent the past hour dusting and cleaning everything.

I’m pleased that I did it though, and everything is back to normal, except for my deskmat, which is outside, drying in the warm air.

@jargon ROFL! Yes! I used proper cleaner though... hopefully enough to ward off the insects!

Trying to get away from buying heavily processed vegan meat substitutes and making more use of tofu.

My go to is pressing and thinly slicing firm tofu into strips, and marinading in dark soy sauce, maple syrup and whatever spicy sauce I have. I then air fry them for about 7 minutes.

@gadgetoid Yeah, that's not all of them... that's just the ones we have on the bed. In my office, I also have Toast, Coffee Cup, Blueberry and a Tart Au Citron 🤣

@nileane I can almost imagine a day when the iPad Air and iPad Pro make the Macbook Air and Macbook Pro obsolete, purely by adding the magic keyboard folio.

Almost. @matt

And yes, I realise that I talk about myself in the third person in the bio section, but it is what it is... I find it easier to talk about myself that way... if not, it's all “I am, I do, I have" etc.

Back to the UK after a week in California; tomorrow, I’ll be taking a look around at the NEC.

@andypiper welcome back! That looks like a fun event at the NEC!

Maybe it's time for the internet to fork… One for AI, and the rest of the capitalistic crap that the majority of people didn't ask for, and another for actual humans.

I did take a brief look at Gemini via the Lagrange browser some time back. Perhaps it's time for me to revisit that! @nigel

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@PCurd Thanks Peter, I will take a look! I did install Lagrange some time back to take a look at Gemini... but I never spent much time/effort. Given recent events waves at everything, I guess now is the time lol.

andycarolan,
@andycarolan@social.lol avatar

@nigel I agree... it would probably just lead to more fragmentation.

The vast majority of people won’t bother to install yet another browser... there's already enough confusion with the current state of browsers and standards lol

I've gone from "AI is kinda annoying but whatever” last week to utterly furious about it this week.

Slack are now training their models on all data including DMs https://slack.com/intl/en-gb/trust/data-management/privacy-principles

@hl Very good point. Those EULAs pi** me off... it's like “agree to our terms, or stop using our service" @robb @Cloud68

Seriously, if you are as tired of AI as I am, then grab my little badges for your site. They are in the usual flavour of 88x31px PNG, and also SVG so you can scale the blurriness away.

They are FREE... however, I am grateful for any size of donation if you are able.

I've got more “No AI!" stuff coming soon to my shop asap that you can 'stick' all over the place https://ko-fi.com/s/4662b19f61

@jargon I don’t have any but I can make a few. Any other dev ones you can think of? I can then add them to a pack.

@jargon ROFL, it would be a HUGE badge!
