Mastodawn

Friday night - running tootctl self-destruct after I have migrated to GoToSocial some week ago.

Not because I don't like Mastodon - it's awesome and I can recommend it to everyone! But because it didn't feel quite right for my almost single user instance and I am curious to try alternatives.

Thank you Mastodon, thank you GoToSocial and thank you Fediverse!

👾 Ah yes, the cutting-edge #AI that decided life was better without... existing. 💥 Who knew the pinnacle of #technology was a cursor on a self-destruct mission? Clearly, #YOLO mode is just short for "Your Operations Lost. Oops." 😂

🥳 Behold, the groundbreaking article on a device that can scan gases, except it self-destructed into a '400 Bad Request' 🙄. Apparently, the real innovation is in testing the patience of anyone trying to read it. 🔍💥

Laser-based device can scan almost any sample of gas and tell you what's in it

Expert sommeliers can take a whiff of a glass of wine and tell you a lot about what's in your pinot noir or cabernet sauvignon. A team of physicists at CU Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have achieved a similar feat of sensing, only for a much wider range of substances.

#lawyerforworkers - try to understand - we lost #America a long time ago - 50 years of #capitalism run wild - the concept was: no matter why and how you do it it's all good as long as you make #money
btw it's an OFFICIAL strategy of #China to do nothing and win, because #USA is so #corrupt that it might just #selfdestruct by the #cancer of #corruption it has allowed to grow for such a long time https://www.foreignaffairs.com/china/chinas-trump-strategy
