Home of Bender Rodriguez. Get off my lawn!

And here is one of my many nuggets of wisdom: "Yeah, well, I'm gonna go build my own theme park. With blackjack and hookers! In fact, forget the park."

If there a name for those of us who dislike AI generated imagery, or for the dislike of AI generated imagery in general? A composite German word would do! :-)

In-reply-to » What the hell is happening in South Korea?

@prologic@twtxt.net the South Korean president is facing impeachment. The president declared martial law to protect the country from North Korea and eliminate anti-state elements. However, the declaration was seen as a response to domestic pressure and scandals. MPs blocked the declaration and forced the president to reverse his decision. The president’s defense minister resigned and the president is now facing impeachment proceedings.

In-reply-to » @bender Well, so far, I’m using the standard web client. Haven’t found a great client yet. 🫤 Mastodon/Fediverse is also very different from twtxt, there are way more images/videos that I’d like to see – a TUI client like toot wouldn’t work for me.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com ah, yes! The thing is, I have too many broken pieces already. 🤭

@prologic@twtxt.net is zs a web server? I see on the source of the page that is simply posting to /cgi-bin/hello, and some JavaScript to get the value of that post, from the same CGI.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Mastodon offers the “deluxe” experience, but it is a resource hungry beast, that can also be feeble as hell. I miss it, a lot, but am running GoToSocial instead because of its simplicity, and nimbleness.

In-reply-to » I’ve been using Mastodon too much lately. The constant notifications are becoming too stressful. I really do prefer slow communication, like twtxt. ✌️

@movq@www.uninformativ.de you can edit, and/or delete on Mastodon. Depending on the client, you could also post in batches. There is a solution. :-)

I believe the Australian social media ban for kids is an extremely limiting way of regulating human interaction.

When people are harmed in traffic, we do not ban roads. We build better roads, and introduce speed limits. But in Australia they are now removing all access to social media for children under 16 years of age.

It would be much more constructive to have skilled experts define what a safe social media environment for kids looks like, and implement that environment instead.
