Not every number is okay. Some are even ILLEGAL!

Are your guitar skills rusty? Well then, I have just the thing for you. Fresh off the ArtiFictions luthier’s workbench, my latest creation.

my dude has rediscovered the commons and I could not be happier for them

I think it is really important to analyze the implication of the new IETF Draft Meow MRRP in the wild. I strongly assume it will lead to widespread loss of carriers when applied in areas where IP over Avian Carrier is in use. More research is needed. And funding!

The existence of USB types A, B, and C implies the existence of USB types D (combustible metal) and K (hot oil)

Yeah, I'm gloating over Bluesky being down. I know it's a bad look. I'm just happy that a company that adopted AI to piss off trans people they didn't like, that platformed Jesse Singal over and over again, and whose CEO tried to invent a new transphobic slur is eating shit today.

Bluesky is a transphobic company, I do not like them at all, and I am not sorry to be happy about their loss. I am sorry for the collateral damage that has on everyone who depends on Bluesky for a living.

im sorry about this (not really, though)

it seems someone decided to prove you really can just publish any nonsense protocol draft with the IETF https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-meow-mrrp-00.html

if you have no idea what this is about: a very official-looking "IPv8" draft appeared that was an absolute fever dream of and-a-pony wishlist features for a censorious regime, down to using json web tokens at the hardware level for some reason

I wrote up this cursed discovery with more details:

ok which one of you is this?

hi

welcome back to mastodon

we have:

weirdos quietly talking to each other
content warnings so you can let people decide if they want to engage in smut, ragebait, or anything else, and give them a moment to prepare themselves for it
admins who are queer weirdos
a switch that turns off everyone's reposts if you want to just see what the folks you actually follow have to say for themselves
all the custom emojones you want

we don't have:

techbro admins raving about how fast they can "improve" the site with their AI slop machines
any centralized administration
a system designed to replicate all the addictive behavior of pre-Elon twitter

Ideally you would give the new AI product a distinctive name that clearly articulates where it fits in your overall product strategy. Something like "Eyestab" or "Footgun"
