You can say ass here

You give me a word, any word, and I show you how the root of that word is Greek.

I don't understand what part of their statement you read as pro-LLM

I think I would have liked it better if they had cut another 60-80 minutes from it.

Is this video enormous for anyone else?

It's not Northern Europe either.

I think your point about moderation tooling is worth a bullet point on its own. I think more tools for users to stay safe and for moderators to keep their instance safe would go a long way, and that there are people who would be willing and able to donate their time implementing them.

Also, the current draft is still pretty focused on Mastodon. I think it's worth talking more about how the problems (and solutions) are different on different platforms, or if not then talk about working on the problem for Mastodon/microblogging as opposed to "the fediverse."

For many, Threads understandably felt like a breath of fresh air following the chaos that engulfed Twitter. Unlike the latter, Threads is not run by someone that I and many others find to be an exceptionally despicable human.

Idk if downvotes don't federate at all or if it's homegrown jank, but I've never seen a downvote on another instance's post.

I've met some phi males in my time.

That's actually a very common feature of cults, including a lot of the ones considered less extreme.

Someone (maybe on Sneerclub?) once made the point that Hitler also produced the occasional bad art piece and extreme quantities of bullshit.

Basically the only reason I ever shop Amazon is to avoid walking into a Best Buy.

That would show a level of foresight we've never really seen from him, but ultimately no one knows.

Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all!

Honestly, if you don't look out for each other it seems to defeat the whole point of an organized protest. I can spread the word on my own in a safe space without fear of organized retaliatory violence.

Reminds me of the plastic placemats I ate off of as a toddler.

Which isn't to say it doesn't happen. I still occasionally get my password emailed back to me from small handbuilt websites. Which is part of why you should at the very least never use the same password twice.

I love when Bisexual Bob makes an appearance as well

What are biological people? Are there non-biological people?
