what do i do with this information

realizing that the part of me that wants to adopt cats is the same part that enjoys being annoyed at girls

telling cats what is and isn't a toy really makes you confront your ontology
like is toyness in creator intent or player utility? does having fun with a sandwich wrapper transmute it into a toy? does disinterest in pet shop products make them less toy-like?
quite the toy story

oh wow interesting that my Twitter reply to the cross-post was cross-posted back here... the possibilities

damn the automatic splitting of toots into tweets on crossposting is convenient but kind of ugly... is it worth adding some UI indication to masto to help prevent this 🤔

I really dug this post by a friend about his art workflow (wherein he uses GAN image generators as a time-saving technique but still spends eight hours in photoshop finishing up sketches)

using image diffusion for dream journaling is a brilliant idea and I'm salty I didn't come up with it first
might even be useful for interactively aiding recall due to the way these systems hallucinate upon ambiguity
this future of machine-assisted cognition heralds a great Rewinding of the Mind

Introducing the first alpha release of Mastodon 3.11 for Workgroups!
Available for Windows 95

I would urge you all to consider these points and make your own choices in line with your goals and priorities
but I will also nudge towards an action for bias; trying something new, albeit imperfect, can better inform future choices

as the http://schelling.pt admin, I can indeed do all the mentioned things & more; this is why federated systems require a huge amount of trust at the moment, and are not suited for private applications
that being said, is this meaningfully worse than the Twitter status quo?

this is all completely true and important to consider; Mastodon and the greater fediverse at large are a good stepping stone, but are not good long term solutions in their current form. we need to evolve the ActivityPub protocol to have native support for content encryption

A reminder that Twitter was not made as you see it today. At the start it was literally an SMS frontend. It didn't have concepts like threads, DMs, groups, privacy (ha!), blocking, muting or any of that crap. ALL THAT GREW ORGANICALLY - at first just as conventions, later adopted.
We will figure out how to use Mastodon. And some of those ways will be adopted officially (whatever that means!). This is our place. We'll shape it. Give it time.

Honestly the kind of chaotic energy I aspire to. Hbomberguy is like some kind of trickster spirit.
