I quit my job at Nike.

I just couldn’t do it anymore.

It's interesting that a completely nonprofit social media protocol with 11,000,000 users is being deemed a "failure" by some tech media pundits. But also, they make their bones by reporting on corporate drama, stock moves, creeping dark patterns, surveillance, etc.

So, actually, of course they're uninterested in a smallish, boring, mostly-just-working social media project.

Movie theaters: "People need to come back to the theaters!"

Also movie theaters: *shows an ad for a PG-13 movie with swearing and violence before the Mario movie*

@breadbin @jonnypencils @gpowerf @fratm It wouldn't take me more than a week or two to get it fab-ready, using modern Cherry switches, and a little eight-pin MCU and LED to handle the shift lock. Can't do it this month, but I could probably add it to the queue, I have a C128 that needs a new keyboard anyway.

The problem with this rules is that people are freaking out about the UI but this tech is conceptually not different from search engines (see Google’s instant answers), Alexa or even Gmail auto-replies.

So do the rules apply to all of these or only if used for interactive chat?

No one on Mastodon needs more evidence #elonmusk is unreliable and fickle, but here you go: Just weeks after he co-signed a letter demanding a pause in artificial intelligence research, he's now launched his own AI company. I trust his newly launched company will immediately stop all development, right?
