No one left at Twitter knows how to change a handle

The line between MacGyver and Wile E. Coyote is a very thin one.

Another privacy consideration with decentralized social networking (aka any random person can run a server) is that when said random person is arrested for a crime and their computers seized, the authorities get all your information on that server.

The privacy concerns of decentralization are rarely considered in the big tech is bad discourse but the situation is so much worse. Similar to decentralized email (a privacy joke) versus centralized encrypted messaging apps.

A quick edit.. how could I have missed Jan .. DOH!

We saw Noah Davis' Raspberry Pi Pico-powered chess-playing robot at Open Sauce in San Francisco and loved the ChatGPT twist he added to spice up the game.

Here's how he made it:

@gpowerf the team aspect is important. Many works are bigger than a single personality. As with Mr Tate yeah there’s going to be certain red lines but for the most part I find the tool is the important thing.

Retroarch has.. issues in its team but I’m absolutely still using that on my Retroid Pocket!

Ultimately there is always some shady person involved at some level. The devices we use, the energy that powers them, the manufacturing.. nothing is “clean” and it’s folly to prevent otherwise!

When an app asks for permissions, the OS should not only let you answer yes or no. Every category should havev a "yes, but feed the app fake data" option.

Want my contacts for no reason? Have these generated fake ones! Wanna listen to my microphone? Here's random ambiance sounds! Location? I'm on a tiny 5x5m island!

Hell yeah! Put it all in your databases!

Actively sabotaging and punishing services wins over boycotts any day.

this was the best thing I ever tweeted

@gpowerf less versatile, but cool seeing it that way

Apart from AI bots, SO mods played a significant role too. They do way too much gatekeeping 24x7. In fact, human mods are the reason why I no longer post comments on HN, SO, and Reddit. At least AI doesn't tell you to GTFO. LOL.

Good morning! Kickstart-ing another day off; hope it's a good one, y'all. 🦈​💜​
