There is a reason hardcore nerds are often against tech like LLMs(AI) and cryptocurrency

We know how the shit works-ish and what the real costs are 🤷

Same goes with "smart doorbell" this and "smart fridge" that, we do not want that stuff

The ideas behind it at the start are sometimes good and fun to play with but it always ends the same way, capitalize over everything else

If you really want tech advise, listen to your nerds  

We live for this stuff, good and bad

@stux - I received a rather odd note today - https://toot.community/@SupportTeam/115113071882340940 - seems not authentic, asking for a card and authentication? Something's not right with this one, and I've done nothing with it. Please advise.

@UberZeitgeist

There's been a wave of criminals on Fedi posing as server admins and trying to trick people. Based on the name of that account and the fact that it's banned, I'm guessing that was one of them.

@argv_minus_one - good to hear that. I did not interact with it at all.
