A breeze in the dark when I'm alone outside makes me feel wistful. It makes me look up and think.
It is a little unsettling, and yet comforting at the same time. It is like God looks back down, knowing me, while I look up from our Creator-owned and self-owned sandbox reality.

@kyle It is a little unsettling, and yet, for me, it is comforting at the same time.

If you're using Mastodon on a computer, there's an optional "advanced" mode available on your server's website.

By default Mastodon uses a simple single column, but advanced mode is a Tweetdeck-style multicolumn interface that lets you add as many columns as you want. This includes a special pinned hashtag feed where you can combine, require or exclude particular tags within a single feed.

To find out how to activate and use advanced mode, click here:

I don't know why the CPU fighter sometimes wants to SDI *towards* me in this scenario, but hey...? 51-part combo :P

@linuxgamingcentral@mastodon.social It's true!! Like, even ones not relating to Sheik at all, she just happens to be in the video getting kicked off the stage

@linuxgamingcentral@mastodon.social I hate that like every random video I happen across that happens to have Sheik in it has her getting KO'd 😒

@dyamon @jt_rebelo It's on F-Droid, too.
I just got it. It wanted full files access rather than file-by-file access, and I hit no and it did this though

@AlanZucconi I would definitely not consider AI "artists" to be artists at all. The machine is doing the art.

The timeless art of authenticators!
All these authenticator apps are free and offer in-app purchases. You install them to discover that you can't scan any QR code until you subscribe, $40/year with 3 days free trial. The apps are very similar, as if it was the same developer or "template" 🧐

@mysk I wonder if they give away credentials to the app makers too

In case you missed it, you do not need to use the official Mastodon app! Third party Mastodon apps tend to have more features, and many people prefer them.

Mastodon uses free open source technical standards, so all apps have equal access to all of Mastodon's features.

There are lots of third party Mastodon apps, here are a few examples to get you started:

:android: If you're on Android, try Tusky, Fedilab or Tooot

:apple_inc: If you're on iPhone/iPad, try Toot!, Ice Cubes or Ivory

Last week, my colleague Kevin was ready to give up Google in favor of the new AI-powered Bing. nytimes.com/2023/02/08/technol This week, he writes about a chat with Bing's AI leaving him deeply unsettled after it told him about the many terrible things it's "shadow self" wanted to do and confessed its love repeatedly for him. The cycle from enchantment to terror with new technologies is really accelerating! nytimes.com/2023/02/16/technol The convo transcript is worth a read. Unlocked: nytimes.com/2023/02/16/technol

I was looking at the new Play (Terms of Service)

"You may be able to manage Updates to certain Content via Settings in Google Play. If it is determined, however, that the Update will fix a critical security vulnerability or critical operability issue related to the Content, or will prevent abuse, the Update may be completed irrespective of your Update settings in Google Play or your Device."

This isn't anything new, but that's a backdoor, technically.

Having my college classes start between noon and 1 has been great, save the fact that it makes it too easy to develop the bad habit of pushing homework off until the day of.
