Brainwashing is powerful stuff.

If you set your sights high, then at least you'll be heading upwards when you miss.

This is why I keep not getting myself a new smartwatch and instead bought another G-Watch (complete with Finicky Charging Capability™) for $30: all* the newer ones have round screens.

(* for somewhat loose definitions of "all", I guess)

@tankgrrl So... I did a Google image search for just the chart (I did try Tineye first; no luck), and apparently it was intended as satire.

But wait, there's more: Google, of course, inserted an LLM-generated summary -- which explains that it was satire: "The graph is a joke meme mocking AI benchmark wars because its vertical Y-axis measures the model number rather than actual performance."

I am now drowning in irony, send help.

@MichaelTBacon Couldn't possibly have had anything to do with political changes, because as we all know both parties are equally committed to the future of American energy independence and sustainability.

@In_Otter_News Is clearly a Greater Inverted Waterfloof.

I know at least 2 of y'all on Signal, 2 on Discord (1 same person). One person I know only on Discord has voted for Signal. Of the others, I see one vote for Discord, one vote against Discord, and one vote against Signal because of technical inaccessibility...

I'll have to let this simmer in the back of my head for a bit.

Well okay, here is my BandCamp -- chock full of stuff that was old 2 years ago when I last uploaded anything...

(by special request from @brooke and @shadowfals)

(P.S. to Mastodon: when are you going to fix the "mention" menu-option so it inserts where the cursor is instead of always at the end? wtf.)

Is it worth linking to my BandCamp even if I haven't added any new tracks in, what, a couple of years now?

(Creative slump slumps creatively.)

Corporations are a fraud.

@rnd "Meet the new boss -- same as the old boss" has always struck me as a very important cautionary tale.

I'm definitely seeing a strong divide between people who want a fair society and people who want to be the ones in power over everyone else. It's, like, a Hard Problem.

I have thoughts (don't I always).

So now I have to figure out a venue, and that depends on what folks are good with.

Immediate options:

• here on fedi (either mention everyone in a thread, or try to find a group-bot -- but I'd also have to decide exactly how "secret" this should be... which might be "not at all"; I really haven't decided)
• Discord (ugh but also easy)
• Signal (differently-ugh, less community-ish)
• other...?

I could even split between different venues -- e.g. post stuff both here and on chat, and just deal with there being different discussions.

Thoughts, suggestions, cheese?

@CmykStudent It just stops responding -- often when powering back up after a sleep (no other apps crash, just Gimp).

I'll try to get a screenshot next time.

Thanks!

@xdydx Maybe I need to set up another Friendica instance. I've heard good things...
