Do you remember??? The twenty first night of September????

Not watching #Monsterdon tonight, and regretting it from all the fun posts

> "Beyond proving hallucinations were inevitable, the OpenAI research revealed that industry evaluation methods actively encouraged the problem. Analysis of popular benchmarks, including GPQA, MMLU-Pro, and SWE-bench, found nine out of 10 major evaluations used binary grading that penalized “I […]

I feel like I'm seeing another uptick in Mastodon content™ since the kirk thing and bluesky cracking down on people who were too spicy in their reactions.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon/115187078125939270 This is available to people on mastodon.online and mastodon.social now! 🎉 coming soon to other servers, when version 4.5 becomes available. You can also find details of how to control your posts, via the animations in the blog and […]

tbh I think quote posting is useful and I like the way it's been implemented in mastodon. Good for them for taking their time and trying to do it right!

Good morning! If you’re on mastodon.social (or another server running nightly builds) you can begin quoting posts in your posts (quooting?) starting today. Remember, you control whether you can be quoted, and call always retract your post from a specific quote. And you can quote me on that!

I always wanted to live in a cyberpunk fantasy with body mods and cool tech but I forgot how they all featured a the corporatist authoritarian dystopia

[Bluesky] If I'm reading this correctly, users on blue sky are finding out that Bluesky can delete their posts even if they self host their data. """ Applications still have discretion to remove individual accounts from the application. Self hosting your data is great but for moderation […]

Does anyone ( @soatok ? ) know of a good platform for hosting shared secrets for small groups of people? In this case, sharing passwords / account numbers / other secret information for a small nonprofit organization. My initial idea is keybase (https://book.keybase.io/teams) but maybe there's […]

This could go BOOM. The CEO of Market Basket has been fired by the company board, a.k.a. his sisters. This also happened 11 years ago. (Market Basket is a regional supermarket chain that inspires unusual devotion in eastern #Massachusetts and #NewHampshire.) […] [Original post on hear-me.social]

Just a reminder that the 2025/26 Covid vaccine is now available in the US. As far as "preconditions" are concerned, being "fluffy" is sufficient, and I didn't get any pushback at my local Walgreens. Please do get the vaccine, if not for yourself, for the elderly, immunocompromised, and in […]

If the Wallgreens website asks if you have a complicating factor that might make your reaction to having COVID worse, and that check box is required to get the vaccine, then yes you do

Today's morning friend #latteart

Everyone is disappointed this morning but also nobody is actually surprised... I think we're just all excited for the day when it comes #globalsubtweeting

Old man rant: Incredible that a generation raised on YA novels about plucky youngsters overthrowing fascism with their wit, guile, and willingness to confront authority react to simple requests to use alternative media with: "but my follower count!"

Laelia in an imagined #solarpunk future. Thank you to https://bsky.app/profile/gnarlyghost.bsky.social for this wonderful vision of a scrappy future.

Everyone is trying out gpt 5 and realizing that it's still (and perhaps even not) bad and they haven't fixed any of the worst problems. (Because you can't make an llm actually think!)

If you have an Intel Raptor Lake system and you're in the northern hemisphere, chances are that your machine is crashing more often because of the summer heat. I know because I can literally see which EU countries have been affected by heat waves by looking at the locales of Firefox crash […]

An update on my #enshittification post: Slack has given CNCF a reprieve, at least for now. But who's to say if and when they decide it's not worth it to self-fund such a large instance? There are voices arguing for the open alternatives and I hope they get a fair hearing.

Enshittification comes for open source: Slack is kicking two large open source groups, Cloud Native Computing Foundation and Kubernetes, off of their donated enterprise tier, giving them one week notice to migrate multiple years of data to a new platform before it's all deleted […]

LB, props to my employer for putting up a pride post that goes hard

I love the fake French language on Andor. Very clever!

#boston #COVIDcautious peeps and anybody else who doesn't want to get #covid or give it to somebody… Thanks to HHS trying to get rid of their stock of at-home COVID tests, I have 300 tests I got for free.

Half ass thesis: the proliferation of green screen environments in filmed entertainment and the general propensity for characters to be wealthy causes audiences to further associate richness with "absence of other people" and further erodes support for public transportation over personal […]

I have a new theory of art instruction/learning. (I am traveling so this is emphatically not insomnia posting) There is a meme about how when you start learning to draw, it's especially painful because your eye is so far ahead of your ability-- you can see your work is wrong but don't know how […]

[uspol, trump] Just think he could have died a fair unremarkable shithead who bankrupted himself a few times. Instead, he'll go down as one of history's greatest monsters. He'll get his wish for immortality after all, and that's a gift the worst humans don't deserve.

Today there was even a protest rally on Heard Island.

For #FursuitFriday, a couple of shots taken last @furpocalypseinc by @linglingfennec#fursuitfriday. The whole series is so so good, thank you!! <3
