I'm not sure what to think about #LLM AIs. On one hand there's a non-zero chance it's a beginning of the downfall of our civilisation and the Great Filter of the Fermi Paradox, OTOH they're quite handy sometimes.
Been a few stressful days, thanks to uni, work and my ADD brain not being able to plan properly (and lots of migraines..). But I have a small backlog of doodles, so let's start with this angry looking dude. :blobcat_tihihi:

I'm sure it was a struggle for Ken Ham to find someone as ignorant and creepy as he is, but he succeeded by digging up Martyn Iles from the fetid churches of Queensland.

I firmly believe that the names people call cats are actually gangster-style nicknames, and their full names are, like, Carlo "Mittens" Russo, or Jimmy "Tigger" Nichols.

Okay folks: this morning we're launching something we think is pretty useful. Lots of people have strong opinions on how content moderation should work, but they've never done it. So we built a content moderation mobile game (browser-based): https://moderatormayhem.engine.is/
Details about it are here: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/05/11/moderator-mayhem-a-mobile-game-to-see-how-well-you-can-handle-content-moderation/

Tomorrow, we'll be talking about moderation. Every social media site is moderated somehow…although some moderators (cough, Elon Musk) are worse than others.

Other admins should be aware the latest suspension status of a remote account may not be reflected on their side, as it's currently only sent to followers of said account. That's something we're aware of and improving in Mastodon.

I was thinking about getting some kind of pill-making thing to save money on fiber supplements but was annoyed to discover that the DEA apparently regulates them as potential drug paraphernalia.
Now if I get one I'm gonna feel honor-bound to do something illegal with it. Maybe littering, or violating a noise ordinance

Monday's Oxide+Friends tied together half-a-dozen previous episodes as we talked about the management network--the central nervous system of the Oxide Rack.
Thanks to @arjenroodselaar, @mjk, @nerdyjkg, and @SyntheticGate for joining me and @bcantrill.
I've been excited to get to this topic; I was blown away by this tied together SO much work. Rather than highlights, I'll link to all the related episodes.

Just did the new 7 star Chesnaut raid in Scarlet/Violet. I was able to solo it with the Annihilape that I built for the Inteleon raid a few weeks ago
Unlike most other raids, it doesn't seem like it ever dispels debuffs on itself, so anything that hits its atk/def really pays off

my favorite quote from this book, and true:
“Since I cannot forget what the truth is, I gravitated, naturally, along with the rest of the social misfits who are honest into the Army as an EM. Now what do you say we have another drink? Since we’ve settled the problems of God, Society, and the Individual I really think we rate another drink.”

So folks, don't forget to check if your Ikea chair is compatible with your screen. I'm not kidding. A thread 🧵.
I've had the problem with my new screen for several weeks now, that every now and then the screen goes black for a few seconds.
Today I had enough and wanted to investigate the problem. So I started changing all the cables, plugging the screen into a different socket, and and and. Nothing helped.
