"We'll just 'AI' spam books, movies, and music" always conveniently ignores how much of everything there already is and how little of it gets any traction.

Europe should regulate Big Tech instead of banning kids from social media, Estonia says
Banning kids from social media won’t work, as they “will find very quickly the ways to go around and to still use social media,” Estonian Education Minister Kristina Kallas said.Eliza Gkritsi (POLITICO)

i really struggle to write lyrics for songs and would love to hear your
a • general pointers / tips
b • feelings about lyrics
c • favourite lyrics
I love lyrics, I think I like the worldbuilding stuff most of all. I tend to favor french musicians for that, but I think Purity Ring writes some of the most evocative stuff for English speakers.

I think I feel a pretty specific pull from lyrics that are like "take my hand and come into this crazy ride with me"

@Mastodon I’m a big badge collector, so this made my day. My official Mastodon enamel pin badges arrived today, and seeing all three laid out on their backing cards just makes them even better.
The classic logo pin, the glittery Live Laugh Federate design, and the Mastodon Elephant pin all look brilliant. Really happy to support Mastodon at the same time.

Another reason to hate #Apple We're seeing more 2018+ MacBook Pro/Air donations — but Apple's T2 chip means even after iCloud sign-out and reset, the firmware stays locked to the original account.
Without donor contact, these machines are useless. 🙁
I've upcycled ~1,000 older Macs, but T2 era machines will end that. It's controlling, creates e-waste, and will only get worse. #righttorepair matters — Apple couldn't care less.

Good question if this goes to ban US stuff in EU outright because could be a violation of the privacy laws.
With the EU/US relationship in freefall, it could be another string attached to the political spat.
Linux/freeBSD maintainers should think twice before jump this bandwagon before find themselves banned from EU and other countries with more restrictive laws.

New Chicks: mostly from JiDokKo eggs from the FukuroNoKai (Owl Association) farmer's market, but two are from Silky eggs from that market's table too. The brown striped ones may be from birds that were hatched from JiDori eggs from a local supermarket. Those birds got huge and I want to try hatching a bunch of them.. They are labeled as JiDori.. so they could be anything I guess.. Maybe Amakusa Daiou which is what the look like, I think...

drew yesterday's wordmark in #uxn in ~350 bytes (40% savings over bitmap) by indexing into the 22 sprites it can be reduced to.
also used a "door" correctly for the first time while doing this (before ultimately removing it to save bytes ^^")
paste.sr.ht/~sporeball/c7e285c…
@neauoire nicely done! it seems like a tradeoff, where either the Tal is simpler and the sprite data is a little larger (yours), or the Tal is more complex and the sprite data is a little smaller (mine)?
to your credit, i like the handwritten look, i forgot that the sprite byte is powerful enough to work the way it does in yours ^^"
You may have seen the video where this big dog keeps on calling a little dog a cat!
The saga continues. The big dog has now made friends with the "cat" And it seems the woman has given up on trying to convince her shepherd Flambo that Rupert the Yorkie is a dog.
