AI data centers are environmentally disasterous and directly harm marginalized populations. If you’re on Twitch vote against this…

Also, Fuck ChatGPT and everyone who uses it without caring about the repercussions.

I said what I said.

A tall stylist traded glances with the black haired woman, and then approached him. The other patrons and stylists were all watching on with a wide array of expressions on their faces. The stylist drew a comb from a glass of water and tapped the excess off into a #saucer. #vss365

And on the 'new tech' thing:

Most of the time, with new technology, you have early adopters and others who want to wait and see, while support expertise grows.

With this AI nonsense they removed choice. It's stuffed into every thing without consent.

Folks who would usually watch and wait can't.

The Washington Post is reporting that Marco Rubio sold out government informants to El Slavador to gain access to Cecot. WP article is paywalled, so here's one from The Independent in the UK.

Yet another reason that the US is not to be trusted.

I looked that picture up the first time I saw it. Absolutely real. He wore it for several innings before they got him a replacement.

As a web developer, I often have to deal with clients who don't understand that their monitor settings are not the only monitor settings. I once had someone tell me my #FFFFFF background was tinted too green, and to just trust her because she's good at seeing colour differences other people miss.

I always enjoyed watching Danya's streams and videos. This is a sad day for chess.

Jeff nodded. "Chair it is, then." He scanned the posters for the style that most closely resembled the close-cropped cut he normally carried. "I'll take the #atom." Before the woman had a chance to object, he strode across the room and took up occupancy in a vacant chair. #vss365

If you're in town on Sunday, November 2, we'll be at the Imperial starting at 3pm (because it's a Sunday) for a super casual get-together. Come on out and join us for some good times, good food, and good company. We hope to see you there!

Hi everyone! You may have heard that our beloved Imperial Pub is closing its doors forever on November 15. The Imperial has been our home for well over a decade, so we've decided to give it one final RvBTO hurrah before that happens.

"No," the lady called back over her shoulder, "just some fool about to #hover his way on out of here."

"Not until I talk to Beetle."

"Sweetheart, there is no Beetle."

"There is, and I'm not going anywhere until I see them."

"The only way you're staying is in a chair." #vss365

Quick reminder to anyone attending a No Kings rally today: LEAVE YOUR PHONE AT HOME.

GPS data can be used to tell who was there, and target them.

Pictures you take on a phone have geolocation data attached to them, and can be used for facial recognition.

Do not make Trump's thug's jobs easy.
