Friday Funnies – March 10, 2023 Edition https://chia.owly.net/friday-funnies-march-10-2023-edition/

The people who have been developing OVOS are attempting to establish a nonprofit organization to continue development of their open source voice assistant. OVOS is derived from Mycroft, but with Mycroft AI's recent difficulties has become more of a fork. Other projects such as Neon use OVOS as a base. If you've got a couple spare pennies to rub together they could really use the help in keeping open source voice assistants around.

Do you want to display a Mastodon account's public posts filtered by hashtag?

There's a way to do it using their profile page's web address:

1. Go to the account's original page on the web (more info: https://fedi.tips/what-are-original-pages-in-mastodon/)
2. Copy the original page's web address
3. Add /tagged/(hashtag, but without the #) on the end of that address

So, for example, if you wanted to see posts on my account tagged with #Pixelfed the address would be:

https://mstdn.social/@feditips/tagged/pixelfed

From Spurgeon today:

Quietness seems essential to many spiritual operations; ...

If so, and methinks he is right, we are in big trouble in our day. What do you think?

etc.

To add to this, the worst misconceptions that have led to misinformation and political strife are:

1. There are only two sides. My side and the bad one.

No, there are not. It’s not a sports game.

2. Anything said about the other side is true and doesn’t need fact checking.

No, it especially does. People have a blind spot for stories that match their worldview or that they want to be true.

3. Someone I agree with must be a good person (and vice versa)

Nope. Definitely not.

Hey guys, quick PSA for you:

Never just post a ‘shocking’ story on social media without fact checking it first. Even if it’s about those on the other side of the political spectrum.

No wait, ESPECIALLY if it’s about those on the other side of the political spectrum.

Because misinformation and hearsay are everywhere, and it will spread if not questioned.

I don't think everyone is aware of just how far the TikTok filters have come when it comes to changing people's appearance in real-time, with no latency and no visual artifacts.

I've compiled two videos showcasing the new beauty filter and the teen filter, if you're curious:
