Gah, how I am having to recycle all my old "NFTs don't do that, though" arguments, just on the Bitcoin blockchain now?

THEY AREN'T ANY MORE USEFUL ON THIS BLOCKCHAIN THEN THEY WERE ON THE OTHER ONES.

Is there something wrong with the connection between and pixelfed.social? I follow ceoln@pixelfed.social from ceoln@qoto.org, but when I try to look at it, the latest image (posted on April 3rd) is missing, and none of the actual images appear (just their alt texts). Or have I just forgotten how things work? :)

World's favourite cuisines. 25,000 people in 24 countries were asked which nation's food they preferred. Interesting results.

I like how the Philippines basically likes everything. Best attitude!

It's like every overpaid C-level executive on the planet feels like they have to pretend that is actually helping their company, because otherwise they'll get snubbed at the country club or something...

#YouTube videos being so often Sponsored is I'm sure good for the creators, but also it's kind of awful.

Yeah, I now realize that Factor and HelloFresh and earbuds and sex toys exist, thanks.

Posted about some of the things I left out of yesterday's short story.

I realize that this is what I get for using , but why is it suddenly putting news about the NBA on my laptop's login screen? I haven't the tiniest shred of interest in the NBA.

Ummmm let's see... Windows 10 apparently.

@trinsec

It's not quite an ad; it's like I guess the latest scores and things. Recently the weather forecast started to appear on the login screen, which was fine. Maybe I'm in some A/B test group or something.

@ceoln@qoto.org avatar

@trinsec Found it! Under like "Settings > accounts > sign-in options > lock screen personalization" there's a "Lock screen status" that lets you "Choose an app", and it was set to "Weather and more", which apparently includes NBA updates lol.

There doesn't seem to be a "None", but I set it to "Devhome" (what?) and now it isn't showing anything extra. Some day I'm sure it will start to show something annoying.

Well I don't believe Darjeeling,
Or the faces on the ceiling,
But I guess that's just the way
the story goes...

And in my mind we aren't wearing

We got no clothes 🎶

This is a crazy high sanction, especially for something morally just. My takeaway from this article is more evidence that judges have wild powers.
