Android users who used Google Assistant and are annoyed they auto-switched everyone to #Gemini I found out that you can choose to use Assistant as a default! 1) open Google app settings 2) Tap Digital Assistants from Google 3) Tap "Google Assistant" #Android #Google #AIsucks

Big kudos to MIA for putting GOOD #alt #alttext on their bot account. Love to see it! #accessibility

People of Ireland don't have the illusions (delusions?) that Americans have about wealth.

I have a piece in an #art show at Modist Brewing. "This is Spinal Snap" is a skateboard deck with 3D printed worm-esque pieces and lots of paint.

This is huge news in the #accessibility world. I used to recommend Otter AI to students all the time. #AI companies are again proving that they willingly break the law for revenue (not profit, because no AI company is profitable. www.npr.org/2025/08/15/g...

ICE Is About To Go on a Social Media and TV Ad Recruiting Blitz 🔗 www.404media.co/ice-is-about...

@caseyjohnston.bsky.social I finished reading A Physical Education in my second week of StrongLifts workouts. Your book has been revelatory for me! I've always had my own self-image issues, and decided to commit. Thanks for cutting through the shitshow that is the fitness and health industry.

The most majestic thing you will see on #bluesky today. 😇

Ravenscrodt Musicke Guild did a lovely rendition of Dragons Roost from Legend of Zelda: Windwaker But I think that Link on stage is a Woodwindwaker. #CVG2025

If a drummer came out of retirement, do you think there would be repercussions? #dadjoke

Your #printer is a snitch... No really. Some brands add hidden #tracking dots to all print jobs that can be used to read the serial number on every page. Sooo, don't print anything you don't want getting back to you at home... #privacy #protest #leftist www.eff.org/pages/list-p...

This is poetic... Atari wins!

While AI is being hyped as something that could replace workers, I think it has more potential to replace management. But will it? Probably not, because they are the ones who decide who keeps a job. Will it be them, or the dozen coders who just pushed a new product? Don't trust the AI boosters.

@404media.co I'm a disability access professional who is dyslexic with ADHD, @josephcox.bsky.social is correct in claiming the use of AI as a "learning style" is not a valid reason for academic accommodations. It could make it harder for people with documented disabilities to obtain accommodations.

Remember when the Internet was good? Me too. It isn't anymore, because of Enshittification. When a site changes their algorithm to maximize engagement so they can ensure people stay on the site longer. Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon have ALL enshittified.

Time for another musical digital security PSA. This one is for the 90s kids who need to make their passwords stronger

Question for everyone: You are on an island with only a movie theater on it, and you brought a show or movie to watch while waiting for rescue. What is that movie/show? #films #movies #tv #watch #fyp #film #movie #netflix

May the Fourth be with my Star Wars loving friends. Nerds must unite in the appreciation of fandoms. Sci-fi and Fantasy lovers are all cut from the same cloth. I love that people love stories. #MayTheFourth #StarWars #StarTrek #ScienceFiction #Fantasy

I never did 23andMe, but I did Ancestry DNA. I deleted my data from that platform. Even with HIPPA regulations, these companies have already shown they can't be trusted with this data. Ancestry cooperated with the FBI and allowed them to use private health information to identify a suspect...

I had a " #Copilot Basics" learning session at work. I attended as an #AI skeptic/pessimist and oooh boy... 1. No mention of AI Hallucinations 2. Every image was AI generated (C'mon, it's easy to find a real photo in PowerPoint) 3. Head of SEO cautioned everyone (rightly) about fact checking AI

is ur child texting state secrets in a Signal chat? ily - I Leaked Yemen (attack details) smh - Secret Message Hahahaha tbh - Talkin 'Bout Houthis idk - I Doubt Korea (is in this signal chat) gtg - Gonna Text Goldberg

I love 3D printing, man. You can just sculpt a Twin Peaks James, conjure him into the real world and nobody can stop you.

Wasteland Warrior Clippy Illustration done for autonocast.com 🛻📎🧡 Thank you so much @niedermeyer.online for the opportunity, this was one of my favorite jobs in 2024!

Each of us can choose what we can do. Don't "should" yourself, and don't "should" other people. Try calling people in, instead of calling people out.

Sucks to be excluded and singled-out, doesn't it J.D...? Think twice before trying to push out the arts.

#ICE is using a contractor called #ShadowDragon to track down people by scraping social media @404media.co reports. To the sites they are scraping, SHUT IT DOWN. Block IPs, file lawsuits, enforce your TOS. Do the right thing! @bsky.app is listed! List of apps: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I've been playing with some facial scans and doing some studies. #art #artWIP

Want to support brands and companies that align with your politics? "Goods Unite Us" ("GUU" on Apple) will tell you how companies lean based on political contribution and election issues, and shows alternative brands. It even shows TV and movies. Game of Thrones is GOP leaning! 😮

To all Trek fans saying that new #StarTrek Trek has too much #DEI in it. Have you actually watched Star Trek...? #Woke #Meme #fyp

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

That session was a slap in the face of the digital accessibility community. Managers and leaders will use what was said by Deque leadership to justify using AI to test and not having #accessibility staff to ensure testing is complete, and accurate. #axecon It's irresponsible and harmful!

@daviddylanthomas.bsky.social I loved your session, it spoke to issues that I care so deeply about. Now more than ever. It also inspired me to finally buckle down and delete my Facebook account. I'm gonna live my values! #WebForThePeople #axecon

If you don't have a .mobi file, you're only renting the ebook. Fuck Publishers and Amazon for this crap. I highly recommend using Calibre and some add-ons to remove DRM and download the book.

Oh random YouTube chatter. Yes, it's completely normal and very cool to come into a Marc Rebillet Livestream and chat, "MAGA Go Elon Go." This doesn't come across as insecure at all. You're definitely a free-thinker, and not a cult-following chud by doing this. #cult #chud #dummy

This is "Gaze." It is a 3D printed piece of #art made for an upcoming show at the Otherworldly Arts Collective Safeword art show in #minneapolis. The piece was made using a 3D scan of a live figure model, then the digital form went through extensive processing to become this. CW: nude art

I've become known as the Banana (or Banana "Man," popularly) at the Art Shanty Projects. I made a character to make it easy to engage with visitors. It's been fun making dumb puns and just giving people laughs and confusing toddlers. It's been a really fun season! #minneapolis #mplsart #banana

It's the final weekend of the Art Shanty Projects in Minneapolis. We are open and the snow is beautiful! Come on out! www.artshantyprojects.org #minneapolisart #minneapolis #art

Musk is aiming for efficient government, but what about the contacts made with his companies? Bias can be easily engineered. "...training [AI] on existing federal contracts raises red flags considering that Elon Musk, the head of DOGE, has billions of dollars worth of federal contracts."

Y'all should know that @archive.org has those recently deleted .gov webpages saved away... Also, they need our support because the MPAA is suing them.

An AI Billionaire is crying because people stole the data they stole and plagiarized first.

Turns out you don't need to waste a ton of water and build more Nuclear power plants to run an LLM. If US companies can't be innovative and make something lean and nimble like this, fuck 'em. I don't think OpenAI will survive much longer.

I'm sure he'll sell dozens of copies.

Hello new Blueskyers! Let's talk about how to use #AltText! When you post a pic, there's a button that says +ALT. You can make your image more #accessible to blind people by providing a brief description of the image. Write what you want people to get from the image. #accessibility
