WOW. Elon Musk's Twitter straight-up banned the account for Mastodon. Just, wow.

Microbiologists are larger than one might expect.

@mmasnick man. Elon banning the Santa tracker right before Christmas is a very bold move.

Hello! 👋 #Fedora

All of my Twitter accounts have been banned. Even my personal make sure to stay connected with me. https://grndcntrl.net/links/

Elon falsely claimed @elonjet endangers his safety (ADS-B data is public record), promised not to ban them, then banned them. Anyway, they’re here now.

Cheers mates, for a glorious Wednesday

No, of course not. Never use an exchange as a wallet. Don't store money on exchanges. Do your exchange then withdraw.

While AI avatar generator Lensa generated realistic yet flattering avatars for men—think astronauts, fierce warriors, and cool cover photos for electronic music albums— a female MIT journalist got skimpy clothes and overtly sexualized poses. It's likely the data set: Because the internet is overflowing with images of naked or barely dressed women, and pictures reflecting sexist, racist stereotypes, the data set is also skewed toward these kinds of images. https://www.technologyreview.com/2022/12/12/1064751/the-viral-ai-avatar-app-lensa-undressed-me-without-my-consent/ #AI
