I love that the bank has a form letter for all the common sovcit bullshit!

Just the Friday jams I needed, thank you!

The Honking is upon us! Run for your lives!

Neat. Something else to feed my anxiety.

My family has had some of the best cats this way. My mom would always go to the shelter and adopt the oldest one they had and we had so many truly wonderful sweet cats over the years.

Hydrogen Peroxide has actually been proven in lab tests to delay healing. So it’s ok if that’s all you have to sanitize a wound, but it’s not a great choice otherwise.

I would love to see that number on a graph next to the energy consumption of training the next bullshit AI chatbot.

Don’t worry, mining companies are famously careful not to damage the environment. And they almost never release face-eating leopards!

“If you're a Twitter diehard who's not willing to swap to X, it might be finally time to ditch X for Mastadon or Threads. On your way out, don't forget to delete your X account.”

Best advice in the article.

The TSA has attempted to roll out more facial recognition in airports but has so far been blocked from doing so. Clear is stepping in to gather all that biometric data for them, in addition to the fingerprints and Iris scans they already have, and provid it to TSA directly while making a profit on the side from doing so. 

“In the near future, Clear's new facial recognition system will electronically transmit members' digital identities to TSA's second-generation Credential Authentication Technology (CAT-2) scanners, Clear says.”

It’s pretty terrifying when you think about the possibilities of deception. And also how throwaway content is going to become. We are going to generate content at a volume orders of magnitude larger than our already current excessive volume, and finding the stuff that has real meaning and a real message is going to be even harder.

Also, artists whose work and styles fed this will be put out of business without ever being paid for their work that was used to train these models. 🫤

How is it these laws can get passed but our legislatures can’t do anything that’s actually important for society? 

I just wish there was a standard for marking the cables, so you could look at the cable and tell what it was capable of. All the cables and chargers look the same but have wildly different capabilities.

They have not received any OSHA fines, but that’s because they haven’t submitted injury data to OSHA since 2016. But now employees are starting to self-report.

Electric Objects EO1 - Zombie Mode (seattlelunarsociety.org)

I really love this Kickstarter digital photo/art frame and even though the company shut down this week, I have kept mine alive and made it work really well, better in some ways than it did before.

Here's the post on keeping the EO1 alive in zombie mode. I hope it helps someone else not throw away this cool device! https://z32guru.com/tech-projects/electric-objects-eo1-zombie-mode

I also started/hosted a community for fellow EO1 hackers to help share knowledge on how the device works. https://seattlelunarsociety.org/c/electricobjectseo1

Electric Objects EO1 Zombie Mode (seattlelunarsociety.org)

This is the best way I've found to keep my EO1 working, be able to update wifi settings, and push new images to it from a computer or phone remotely. "Zombie mode" keeps the body and OS of the EO1, but replaces the brain that controls image selection and slideshows with an Android app.

Here's a writeup of how I approached it:

Gummy Bears and longer jokes (seattlelunarsociety.org)

If you have a longer joke that doesn't fit the format but is still a clean joke, happy to have those here: https://seattlelunarsociety.org/c/momjokes Not trying to advertise, just wanted to help people find a place to land in the Fediverse, and doing my part to host some of it.

Here's that dad joke I promised:
