ChatGPT can write (rote) eulogies, party invites and emails.

But this is a brand new monstrosity — an amalgamation of internet knowledge. Have some fun first and see what you can create with no eye on productivity, said AI artist Steph Maj Swanson, whom you may remember for discovering “Loab.” (Google it.)

As for breakup texts: an AI-authored one is better than ghosting, said one ethicist.

@stopgopfox
If they look uncomfortable to you it is likely because they were told that they absolutely can't hit #Greta with their truncheons – at leaste while the press is close.

Doctors on site reported many ( <= 100)
protestors with minor injuries and a few even with major injuries. Why? Because the police' "deescalation" tactics included hitting protestors on the head.
#PoliceBrutality #Lützerath
The murderous brutality of the fossil fuel and related industry still gets a free pass – with fascist police protection.
This is all so unbearably immoral. #RWE

During his 50-year career drawing Peanuts, Charles Schulz avoided strips that touched on political issues. He made a notable exception when it came to book banning with a series that started on October 23, 1972, more than 50 years ago. You can read all 15 strips through this link. Enjoy!

Instead of posting primarily on @Lunatech@techhub.social I will instead be posting here at @Lunatech so if you want to follow my toots please add this account to your follow list. qoto.org has many options that most other Mastodon servers don't, such as longer toot lengths, but the big one for me is I will actually be able to see a list of the I follow, which is currently not possible on techhub.social or most other servers. Also I believe it is possible to do quote toots here, which I realize is a polarizing feature among some long time Mastodon users.

@orowith2os Most people would not care or notice whether they are using or X, until some piece of software that they want to use breaks because it can't deal with Wayland. For example, if you have a Home Theater PC and it runs and Kodi doesn't work well with Wayland and there is no other software that does exactly what Kodi does (which there isn't), then you are not going to like Wayland (assuming the software in question runs fine under X). I am just using Kodi as an example because I know that a few years back it would not work well with Wayland but I don't know if that has ever been resolved. And if a typical user has to run X to make their preferred software work then they are not going to care about those points you're bringing up.
