The funny thing is, they actually couldn't have gotten away with it in 1997. Oh don't get me wrong, people would tolerate a lot even then and let them get away with horrible stuff, but people absolutely wouldn't have allowed anything remotely like what goes on today. It has been one heck of a long process to get everyone to the point where Microsoft can do everything but install cameras in their house and people will just shrug and accept it.

Actually, we may already be to the point that people will accept the cameras...

Honestly, this guy sat on my chest for five minutes and purred after I got home for work and it gave me the will to live for another day.

Has anyone bought any of the t-shirts that are offered in the Mastodon Shop? I want to buy one but I'm not sure what size to get. The website measures t-shirt sizes by "chest width," which must be an European thing cuz I've never seen clothes measured like that in the US.

My chest is about 20 inches wide, which would put me in a Small size according to their size chart. But I normally wear an extra large so I don't think that's right.

Can anyone explain? Help!

@David I like your thinking. I find, after living abroad, that checks and balances are well worth their while. The main issue is how they are done. At the moment there is a movement in Britain to abolish the House of Lords and replace it with a House of Sortition. The House of Commons would remain.

Having both been a political activist and a policy writer for an Australian political party, I understand that an important part of any politician's job is just administration. This includes advocating for individuals within the politician's electorate. I had a politician advocate on my behalf when my visa to become a resident in Australia was slow in coming. Andrew and I sent a message to our senator and she made sure I could get into the country on time for my own wedding!

So we need people who vote on issues, but we also need people who know how to manage the bureaucracy for their people.

The end of oil? As fuel shocks cascade, 53 nations gather to plan a fossil fuel phaseout


...

"The routine burning of coal, oil and gas is the primary driver of the climate crisis. The world’s highest court last year made clear nations have obligations to stop burning fossil fuels.

"But fossil fuels have barely been mentioned in 30 years of global climate negotiations, due in part to blocking efforts by big fossil fuel exporters and lobbyists.

"Frustrated by slow progress, a coalition of nations has bypassed global climate talks to discuss how to actually phase out fossil fuels.

"The first of these summits will take place next week. More than 50 nations will gather in Santa Marta, Colombia, to discuss a potential standalone treaty to manage fossil-fuel phaseout while protecting workers and financial systems.

"Colombian Environment Minister Irene Vélez Torres says it comes at the “best possible moment”, as the oil crisis focuses global attention on fossil fuel dependency...

YES!

in reply to Muse

That said, it is the Oil Industry which has literally corrupted our political system so as to further enable the uncontrolled and accelerating use of their products.

@tomgrzybow And caused irreversible global climate change that IMO has the likelihood of killing billions of us via starvation and war. Apparently, something many of our wealthy masters are depending on to further solidify their power over the world's people.


The thing that kills me about all this is that after years of building up kind/human/caring community around me, ppl I appreciated because of those traits suddenly drop all semblance of caring about them because.... they have the perception of coding a bit better/faster. That's all it took.

I'll say it straight: you can't voluntarily and willingly use LLMs in a way that's aligned with respect for marginalized folks, with respect for the environment, with respect for labor issues and rights, with respect for art, and with respect for the community aspects of things like open source.

It is simply impossible. Pretending you can is the deepest form of cognitive dissonance and I'm just beyond disturbed to see it happening all around me.

I've already unfollowed so many folks I once respected, blocked some others, and just generally withdrawn from a community that used to be so personally fulfilling to be a part of. It's really sad.

Hey pocket friends! I want your indie artist recommendations for people who draw dragon and fantasy art of all kinds, but don’t do a lot of highly-sexy content: my teen is aro-ace and so has strong 👎 feelings about how much of this stuff is very sexual, and I’d like to help them find stuff more to their taste

It’s cool if there are occasional “sexy art” in the body of work, we’re just looking for mostly not.

If you know someone, name and link them if possible! If not, please give us a boost.
