The original Sound Blaster sound card had a picture of a parrot on the screen and a text window where you could interact with it.
I would start up and say “Hello there, I’m a talking parrot, please talk to me.”

Please report any account that tells you that you need to verify your #Mastodon account to continue using it through a private message. It is a scam. We do not require identity verification. Real staff accounts either have a special role badge on their profile or are verified through the joinmastodon.org domain and will typically never reach out through private messages.

Was reminded of this paper a minute ago, and I just read it again. Damn, Edsger Dijkstra weirdly relevant for a 40 year old paper.
"The question [of whether machines can think] is just as relevant and just as meaningful as the question whether submarines can swim."
"if computers could amplify intelligence, they could amplify stupidity as well."
"The most crazy thing of all this is that, in all the more spectacular cases, the failure has been predicted, quite convincingly and well in advance. Apparently, the lure of the dream is still so strong that people become to deaf for warnings: the computer represents Babbage’s Dream Come True, and no one wants to hear that the Dream has deteriorated into a fully transistorized nightmare."
"I refer to the wide-spread, but in general unchallenged, belief that making something “computer-aided” amounts to making it better. Computer-aided design, computer-aided management, computer-aided composition, computer-aided manufacturing, computer-assisted learning, computerized examinations, you name it. Under no circumstances the dogma of improvement should be accepted without challenge: in no time we would have computerized jurisdiction."

Looks like the "Verify your fedi account" scam is gaining pace, & evolving to look more real.
Your server admin will not ask you to click a link to verify your account. And no other admin from any other server will either, even if they do look like they could be part of the main Mastodon team. It's a scam.
Please report any post or DM that urges you to click any link to verify your account.
If you've any doubts about your account, now or on any other day, contact your server admin or mod team.
