Study reveals Native peoples were able to buffer the landscape from climate-related conflagrations.
“This is what Indigenous people have been telling us for a long time, but I don’t think Western science has always listened.”
Yo if I was using Tweetduck for birdsite stuff, is there a Windows desktop Mastodon client that would replace that fairly seamlessly? The advanced web view is pretty good, but ultimately I need multi-account management, and I really prefer standalone programs to web apps.
Basically my needs are:
* Customisable list/column view
* Multi-account
* UI works properly with high-dpi display
Boosts appreciated. Thank you!
AI and Art kinda wondering
So why isn't there a thing where you can type like "new Taylor Swift song about eating fish; instruments: vocals, vibraphone, and bagpipes" and get a pretty convincing mp3?
I'm reasonably sure that all the tech exists?
My current half-serious theory is that the record companies wrote the AI companies to let them know that if they tried that, they'd be sued into oblivion.
One thing I've clearly noticed is that I really stand by the personal things I've written, my view on the tech industry was _way_ too optimistic before I felt safe enough to share the criticisms I felt in my heart, and my music writing holds up better than I'd hoped. [btw, if you have feedback on design, or requests for fixes to the site, please do share!]

Just did a video response to the question, “why does race matter in books?”
It’s 2022. Grown ass adults should know better.

I have become extremely protective of this place (@SDF Mastodon).
I don't think I've felt this way about an online community since some chat rooms/message boards I ran on Delphi and Prodigy in the early 90s.
The fact that @SDF offers you the chance to be a member patron of a 501(c)(7) non-profit obviously provides a sense of ownership.
It also doesn't hurt that Mastodon barely scratches the surface of the menu of services this amazing group of volunteers provides: https://sdf.org/?join

@malwaretech @ian @JamieWitter A couple of links with perspectives on Mastodon's anti-Blackness:

Why does #HP have to be so #authoritarian about firmware?
I've got a DL80Gen9 and a couple of Aruba switches that I can't download firmware for.
The Aruba switches, because I don't want to use my work email for personal things, and the DL80 because HP won't let you download firmware updates for ANYTHING if it's not under a #support #contract.
It's almost like HP wants the internet to be full of botnets. I don't understand why a company would deny a #homelab owner the ability to update firmware in order to keep things safe and up to date. #Hewlett_Packard_Enterprise cannot possibly be THAT hungry for cash that they need to charge a #homelabber THOUSANDS of DOLLARS just to #download an .iso or a #firmware package.
Seriously #hewlett_packard ... WTELF?
Ok. Rant over.
@anildash Evergreen, perhaps no more so than right now https://anildash.com/2011/07/20/if_your_websites_full_of_assholes_its_your_fault-2/
We spent all this time saying what if China abuses user data harvested by TikTok, or what if China uses TikTok to manipulate public opinion. Now basically all that is happening but it's not TikTok and China, it's Twitter and a single extremely emotionally unstable billionaire. Maybe the real threat wasn't TikTok after all, it was our reliance on social media in general.
A consciousness somehow associated with matter.
