Interacting with artificial so called intelligence should only be done maliciously towards the ai

According to all known laws of society, there is no way a meme like John Mastodon should be able to federate. Its referent is too niche for the necessary momentum to get off the ground. #JohnMastodon, of course, federates anyway, because John Mastodon doesn’t care what humans think is impossible.

John Mastodon Meta 

John Mastodon posts are happening literally across every instance I am a part of and they look extremely different depending on where I am on the fedi and this is why meme culture is so much cooler when there isn't a monolithic platform.

I expect the failure mode to look like email spam. Open relays being squeezed out of the network.

But we'll see.

It is just so hard to believe that we have had computers for this long and there is still not a common easy way to send a file from one computer to another.

These computers are on the same network. But what most people would do because it's the simplest, is to send it halfway across the world to another server just so it can come back to another computer sitting within reach of that person. That is the simplest way.

I don't know what NAD is. It only happens when I typo "and".

Is there some way to remove it from my phone's autocomplete dictionary?

(Same with NY, which is way more often a typo for "my", and not a state code.)

They may build the capacity to block links out to individual fediverse users or posts.

Not a feature I'm really excited for, TBH.

I predict that links to Mastodon will not stay blocked.

My theory is that people were posting links to the Jet tracker over there, and they shut that down with the tools they had.

I expect the blocks to be removed relatively soon.

And my instance doesn't seem to be blocked, for some reason.

Maybe Elon is secretly a member of tpot?

Twitter libtards arguing like but is it really doxxing if it’s public information? and the poasters are sitting in the back snoozing like the guys who read the book when the movie comes out.

So, what is the best practice for preserving a private file that cannot be replaced?

I'd like to protect against hardware failure, theft, and service shutdown.

(Private keys, obv.)
