Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/

Every day is like "starting tomorrow only people who post ‘Elon is cool' will be eligible to have their tweets appear in English" and the entire press corps and all of my friends continue to post there like nothing has changed

@mmasnick @caseynewton I'd be OK with those people staying on Twitter. The lack of vitriol here has done wonders for my stress levels.

This is not a drill! We’ll be getting more gameplay info and footage for #Zelda #TearsoftheKingdom on #NintendoSwitch tomorrow at 3pm!
I got less than 3 hours of sleep, and today marks the first day I drank non-decaf #coffee in college.
I feel awake and not awake at the same time.
"Cool" is "normal" executed so well that it's special.
And, I believe that all these other "humans" are also conscious, according to the evidence (such as them looking and behaving, all things considered, very similar to me). So, evidently, they have something beyond physics, too.
As for ChatGPT, the evidence I have is that it exists just in physics like normal (being ANN based and all). So I do not believe it is conscious.
A post I recently saw about #ChatGPT prompted me to go through some logic about #life:
I know as a fact that I'm conscious. I don't know how it works, but however it works, I'm conscious and consciousness is something fundamentally beyond math.
If physics is, basically, math being executed over time, then you cannot have consciousness existing (solely) in physics. And so I believe that I must have something beyond physics that serves as my "consciousness".

#acropalypse has now been shown to also leak image data cropped in Windows 10 & 11 snipping tools, a totally unrelated codebase 😱

Weird thing about Social media or dare I say, being a ~Brand~ or even ~~Influencer~~ is you're supposed to show exactly ONE side, or less, to the world.
I'm supposed to JUST be the guy who plays romhacks. Or the guy who streams Jackbox. Or the guy who streams YTP reaction streams.
You can't be all of those. Much less have OTHER hobbies you ALSO talk about. You're supposed to be the ONE guy who does the ONE thing.
I just can't do that 🤷♀️ I know it hurts my yt channel but...can't do it.

I was playing a lot more #SmashBros online quickplay today, and I'm wondering:
If someone is being rude/toxic/a bad sport/whatever to you in an #SSBU match online, what do you think you should do back?

Do you follow someone, and you enjoy their posts but they boost too much stuff?
You can mute just their boosts if you want:
1. Open your Mastodon app or log in through your server’s website
2. Go to the profile of the person whose boosts you want to hide
3. Click on the ︙or ⋯ button at the top and select Hide Boosts From... (or Hide Reblogs on some apps)
4. If you change your mind, go back to their profile and select Show Boosts From… (or Show Reblogs)

My knitting machine clock, Tempus Nectit, is complete! I advanced it to the current time and mounted it on the wall. The white section is waste yarn to cast on, and the red stripe marks Valentine's Day. The shiny metal "tooth" marks the hour hand. Currently it is set to noon. The clock will advance every hour, completing a full circle (and row) every 12 hours, or two rows a day.
Now I have the massive task of the technical write-up for my site.
Don't you like it when someone in Smash Bros's online quickplay is being toxic and you just, you know, run them over a little bit? 😉
I declined a rematch.
