RE: Look, EU, it is difficult to take you seriously when you forced all this cookie notification bullshit on us.
@codinghorror That's a myth perpetrated by adtech industry. There is no EU obligation to spam cookie notices. There's an obligation not to track without explicit consent, and everyone illegally uses the cookie nag popups as a basis for claiming consent (which it's not). A legitimate, non malicious site has no need for cookie nags. Ever.

OK, last call for places to move musl fediverse account to. I am beyond disgusted that Fosstodon just added another nazi mod after he volunteered to be a mod in the follow-up to posting his manifesto.
I was just gonna go with hachyderm based on trust, but the name is already taken here.
floss.social seems OK but some folks were against it last time I was looking..?
treehouse is probably good but I think I need help if I go there, doesn't look like they have open signups.

Hot take: the "I" in "AI" actually *is* "intelligence".
Hot take: the "I" in "AI" actually *is* "intelligence".
Not intelligence in the sense of carrying out reasoning processes enabling a being to meet its survival and welfare needs.
Intelligence in the CIA/nation-state "intelligence" gathering sense: amassing and organizing information about persons in a form in which it can be used to commit harm against them.
