Hello! This is a legal letter!
In this letter, I assert some unspecific rights, and intimate in broad, vague terms, that you have, or may have, infringed those rights in ways which I have not set out.
I will also throw in some things which are totally lawful for you to do, but tie then in with other general assertions of wrongdoing, just to fill the page a bit.
I now insist that you stop doing the things which I haven't spelled out, or else I'll be forced to take some unspecific action.
If you’re a blogger (of any kind, not just a sex blogger), reply with one of your favourite posts/a post that you think is especially’you.’ Could be something you really enjoyed writing, something you’re especially proud of, one you poured your heart into, whatever.
Send me your fave post!
Here’s one of the posts I found most cathartic to write: it felt like letting go of some stuff I’d been holding in for ages.
(Very sweary, but basically SFW)
This is my body. If you don’t like it, don’t fuck it.

#LibsOfTickTock was on #Threads and actively harassing trans people within minutes of the launch.
Oh my God, this is gonna be an absolutely *EPIC* shitshow—I may actually have to go back to the grocery to stock up on popcorn! 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
And the best part is, I *already* left both the birdsite and all of Meta’s platforms, and I can enjoy this three-ring circus 🎪 🤡 from my new home here on Mastodon, with all my fellow jaded-but-wiser snarkers! Party time! 🎉🥳

The full text of the letter from Apartheid Clyde’s lawyer is hereby attached for your edification and enjoyment:
So here's what I'm pondering this morning: are(n't) Bard and GPT-4 AGI?
They're certainly artificial.
They're general, in that they'll give you at least half-assed opinions on any subject at all.
And they're intelligent, by the I-think-fair criterion that if you showed a discussion with one to someone back before they were created, that person would say yep, both parties in this hypothetical discussion are intelligent.
The main reason to say they aren't AGI is, I think, that we always thought that AGI would be _more interesting_... :)

A Reminder from the New York City Police Department https://ceoln.wordpress.com/2023/07/06/a-reminder-from-the-new-york-city-police-department/
People talk hard about blocking Threads because of the privacy issues and the surveillance capitalism reasons.
but I'm likely blocking them for much more boring reasons... they have hundreds of TBs of storage, unlimited bandwidth and a marketing budget (5 million people signed by in the first few hours).
#Meta has the ability to simple price administrators out of the market using the classic method of just out spending your enemy.
I don't like Meta, and even if I wanted to communicate with #Threads -- I fear I simple won't be able to play the same game as them for very long.

(#introduction)
I'm a 45 year old #publishing #design nerd and elementary #teacher. I eat #SciFi movies and shows like cookies, play #sim and #strategy #games, and post about #photography #learning #urbanism #ecology #socialism #anarchism #cooking #autoimmunity #adhd and #autism. Mostly I share my day-to-day in photos.
Twitter: I follow news and political giants, but all I see are bad people and arguments
Bluesky: I follow 10% of my old friends who were able to get out of twitter in time and sometimes it works
Threads: I follow my friends but I can’t see them through the algorithm of businesses
Mastodon: oh look a beekeeper in the Netherlands
I'm going to post a new #introduction sense there's been a big influx of new users.
I'm the admin of this small instance, I created it for fun and to also learn how all of this works. The instance has been up for a year now, I have been on the fediverse for about 3 years off and on.
One big reason I like being on the fediverse is no one I know in real life is here, or at least that I know of. My real life is often vastly different than what it is on here.
None of my friends have the same interests in tech, infosec, programming or anytime of that nature. That's one reason I like being on the fediverse, it was easy to find and follow people with the same interests. (Same reason I was on Twitter)
You shouldn't take what I say on here to seriously, often I'm just having a bit of fun or just being sarcastic.
My interests are #tech #infosec #python #RaspberyPi #motorcycles #photography and many more things 😃
Psychology (I think) question: Is it true that if someone does a thing a few times, they're more likely to keep doing it (more or less without thinking/reconsidering)? If so, is there a name for that phenomenon? Thanks in advance!
So a friend recommended I do a #introduction post as my first, so here we go!
Hi, I’m Bitter! I’m a makeup enthusiast and aspiring beauty content creator, whose been in the game since 2010. I was an artist/writer for most of my childhood and adolescence, as well as a violinist. Music is one of my love languages. I’m into #anime especially Gundam, Sailor Moon, Macross, pretty much anything with mecha and/or magical girls as their main thing.
I’ll post more here eventually.
