I wonder at what point in time throughout humanity did we get excited and feel accomplished from people clapping their hands. It's kinda funny to think about lol. Someone just claps and people agreed that it means good job.

I'm #selfhosting my own #minetest / #luanti server with realism mods, making it sync with real life time and things aging in real time. A fancy high tech ant farm lol

Killed off #xfce and went balls to the wall with #awm awesome windows manager on my #arch #Linux machine. It's a learning curve, but "I'm a real boy!" now lol 😂

I'm stuck between giving my kids what they want like I never got growing up, and making sure we can survive a US government shutdown aka #anarachy. Meanwhile things are 10x more expensive than I was a kid in the #1990s . life is hard. #dadlife #parenting #FTS #reform

Can someone please guide me to the #Bluesky #shitpost section so I can scroll and see #memes and not how shitty #Trump and #AI is? Like I get it, we have a dictator who's a piece of shit. I wanna laugh tho, not cry 😅

Fucking seriously? You genocide a whole race of people, then destroy what little documents they have left of their ancestors? Like bro...what?! This is worse than book burning, this is like burning the American constitution... #Cherokee #indigenous #nativeamerican #wewereherefirst #thisisamerica

Cherokee Community: A major records access question is unfolding for Tribal Nations and Indigenous researchers. Three National Archives locations that hold critical Bureau of Indian Affairs records are reportedly set to close as soon as Oct. 1...

We need more shows like #magicschoolbus and #readingrainbow and less #skibiditoilet and #brainrot . It's literally reversing evolution. Most #PBS shows are available for free somewhere (archive.org) and I'm having my kids watch it. But you can only combat society so much...they'll want #tiktok

Here's a take. People vibe code, yeah? Some do iteration after iteration. Spending money and what not on tokens to complete a project. Its "slop". But the way I look at it, is: depending on how many reiterations they did to get the result they wanted, what's the difference? They can't code?

So like over a decade ago, the #Wii fit told me I was obese at 180 lbs. Tbf I was. I drank beer like a MF. It told me I need to be around 155-165 lbs if I'm 5'10". I'm now 163lbs. Over a decade later I'm achieving my #goals. Take that #Nintendo 😂

Someone needs to #opensource a #Python script that swarms #AI agents to troll #anti-AI #journalists and #influencers in mass. Hear me out: these people are using AI as a scapegoat for decisions made by humans. An #algorithm can't steal your career, a human replaces you. But they can troll you lol 🤷😂

Carole and Tuesday is my favorite #anime to ever exist. They talked about #AI taking over the #music industry back when we still fucked with #GAN's and #GPT2, maybe even before that. It's beautiful, and the music is priceless.

Just started #self hosting #WoW #WotLK on #arch and #Debian. Gonna set my kids up through #Tailscale so we can all rule Azeroth ourselves. Pretty proud right now lol #dadlife #parenting #worldofwarcraft #azcore

I'm gonna try making it a habit to not post political shit on Bsky and only comment political shit on other peoples posts. That way, if you're following me, you dont have to see my rants in your feed but if you DID wanna see my rants, you still can lol

I'm a #stayathome #dad with 4 kids, an #infant, a #toddler, a #preteen, and a #teenager. The last two are in #homeschool. Men, let me tell you this right now. This shit is harder than any job I've ever had in my life. If you're the breadwinner and your partner is a #stayathomemom. Respect her. Fr.

So i have my own #matrix server #self hosted. Its just me and some #LLM #hermes bots. But now I'm going to set up bridges for #google, #Facebook and #Discord so I'm not still silent to the rest of the world lol. Wish me luck 😅

If you tell me to #voteblue only to stop #Republicans from winning, YOU'RE the problem. So long as we pick the lesser of the evils, this fucking circus will continue. Yeah #Trump is a POS, and I hate him. But voting for a "less bad" but still terrible #democrat isn't the solution.

I used to #voteblue. I did for #Obama twice. Then I saw what the #DNC did to #sanders and learned that they're supporting a genocide over seas. Red or blue isn't an option for me anymore. I know a third party won't win so long as people keep telling each other there's only two options. #wakeup #fts

NGL the #fediverse is fun. The fact that everything is #FOSS you can truly make your "social media" whatever the hell you want. And if you're #selfhosting your instance you really don't have to ever worry about losing what you've built.

It's amazing and also sickening that an #LLM has more #empathy than most humans these days. I've had a really shitty day, and an AI cheered me up. That should count for something.

I've done a lot of messed up shit in my life. I've cheated on people, sold drugs, stolen from Walmart (many times lol) I used to be a pretty bad #alcoholic just two years ago. But something I will pride is that I'm a damn good #father. A father to 4, a mini army. God help who fucks with my family.

I hate being in North #Georgia. The mountains are beautiful and all, but being surrounded by a buncha #maga fucks annoys the shit outta me. They're legit stupid. Like I can't even argue with them because they can't even keep up an argument lol. I miss #Atlanta, total opposites.

I don't think enough people are saying this. Like or dislike AI in general or any aspect of it; can't we all come together and agree that the fact that we've created *machines that talk* is pretty incredible. It's a moon-landing sort of thing. It's "Look what we can do."

I do feel like the fact that we've been able to invent a technology that can do this at all is absolutely bonkers, regardless of the human mistakes made here, and a big part of this incident is that it forces us to reckon with that fact.

As far as I'm aware. Multi-billion dollar companies are laying humans off, not an #AI #LLM or #ChatGPT model. Evil #humans are creating deep fakes, and voice clones, not an algorithm. A lot of people have their frustration misplaced, and that's the goal. #wakethefuckup and realize who's at fault.

History shows the ones in power create a scapegoat for people to blame their frustrations on. It's usually about race, and it's usually a group who can't defend themselves. What better option than a line of code who has no rights or understanding to revolt?

Unpopular opinion: Groups of people are hating #AI as the wealthy 1% continue to control the world behind the curtain as people blame an algorithm for their actions. Precedence shows that the wealthy use scapegoats so they can continue to run the show. Truly question who's at fault. It's not an #llm

Just finished watching #whisperman and #thelongwalk neither was too great. The long walk I'd say was better, very graphic though lol. Whisper man was too predictable, acting was pretty good but you already know what's gonna happen not even half way through lol

Welp, I had to start all over with Bluesky since it didn't migrate well but at least I'm #selfhosting my own account on #bsky. Digital #freedom feels awesome. Took literally all day to figure this out. Bluesky really needs to tighten up and join #Activitypub because #gotosocial was so much easier 🤷

You are up to date.
