Someone on TikTok kept having her videos flagged for using the offensive word “hoe.” She was using it when talking about her gardening. This is why humans are still necessary.

My roommate Malcolm Gladwell told me to trust his “blink reaction” on which milk was expired. He chugged it. Currently @ the ER anyone need anything

@Bianca @lain humans make me sad

@lain I hate that I looked this up and now am sad

@limebar just let me know that they're working on an amazing project with a lot of folks from the Fediverse!

A MTV style #Fedi powered 24x7 #music #video #channel . I know there are a few creators on TubeFree.org that might be interested? Perhaps @labr or @enoent ?

Hey folks, If you’re developing an #XMPP server or server-side component, I’d love for you to check out the XMPP Interop Framework (https://xmpp-interop-testing.github.io). It’s an open-source test suite that runs your implementation through real-world XEP compliance checks.

The project supports a wide range of continuous integration solutions, offers flexible configuration options, and has matured nicely over the past two years. (1/2)

What you think your brain is supposed to do versus what it actually does.

@grillchen @kaia looking at android these days, I hardly think that’s an issue.

The non-profit volunteer project F-Droid allows search and installation of open source Android apps: Google’s dev registration plan will end this project and others like it https://www.theregister.com/2025/09/29/googles_dev_registration_plan_will/

Ah, those countless hours after school with our CD players. Not to mention sharing the MP3 files with each other afterwards via MSN messenger.

If you knew, you knew!

I was there, 3000 years ago when you knew your mobile phone was about to ring before it did.

Idk, but to me the main sign that the “AI” bubble is about to burst is that it’s now advertised as an investment to consumers.

If you’re a big investor, how do you unload your high risk assets that might collapse soon? You make the plebs buy them off of you.

This is the dump part of “pump & dump”

@joeress sigh I just listened to @25admins where you went over this, sorry

For 15 years, F-Droid has been the antidote to Google Play: no trackers, no ads, just open source apps. Now, Google wants to kill it.

Under the guise of "security", Google is forcing devs to register, pay, and surrender control. F-Droid can’t comply without betraying its principles. Thousands of apps could vanish overnight.

Fight back: demand sideloading rights, pressure regulators/Parliament, and defend one of the safe harbors for ethical tech.

I'll tell Microsoft where they can put their vibes

@joeress https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/115288908208085002 haha

“Microsoft says its (vibe working mode) in Excel has an accuracy rate of 57.2 percent in SpreadsheetBench, a benchmark for evaluating an AI model’s ability to edit real world spreadsheets”

Imagine being a hiring manager and hiring somebody to use Excel who says they do their job wrong about half the time. Welcome to AI.
