Today I met a rook who was DELIGHTED with something it could see higher up in the tree, but I know not what that was 🤷‍♀️

Just thought you Fedi folk would like to see what they're saying at the other place, now that Bsky's CEO had a public crash out.

Reasonably sure Mastodon peeps like libraries and might like a peek at this wowzer I stepped into today.

Alright, I need some non-immediate help, at least in regards to places to look in the future.

I'm just about to start a new job that involves a lot of travel, and over the next few months I'm considering buying a laptop. I want. #NoAI features. In this laptop. It's probably going to be #Linux because, y'know. But even SEARCHING for a CPU or GPU that doesn't boast about AI is nearly impossible right now.

What do I...do? Where do I even start with this? And what if I want a desktop?

I just remembered this one time I made up a story kinda on the spot. Me and my friend were making puns at each other, and we'd gone from magic puns to specifically witch puns at some point. Cauldrons, cats, brooms, that sort of thing. Probably at least one Macbeth one in there, but I don't have the logs anymore.

Anyway, this story jumped into my head. Classic fantasy setting. My brain must have been really #DND pilled at the time.

It starts with an party returning from a rough adventure. 1/6

I used to jump through these hoops, but I just jump to level 5 these days because I'm legitimately so tired of this bullshit and I don't feel I need to sugar coat my words to make someone feel better when their abject disregard for their fellow humans disgusts me. These people include my family members who know that I am at risk and ignore it completely. And no, i'm not CWing it because enough with people burying their heads over it. I often wonder if the biggest symptom of covid brain damage is the loss of empathy and how our actions affect others, but sadly it's probably just the reality of selfish humanity.

If you don't mask, you need to accept that you are an ableist who doesn't give a fuck about anyone, including yourself, but you especially give the finger to any disabled person you know.

Finally, the dwarven fighter, who had been annoying his friends by bemoaning his lack of alcohol for the last twelve hours of travel, even as he emptied both the rogue AND the mage's wineskins, manages to remove his foot from the stirrup of his horse and topple to the ground.

He picks himself up, brushes himself off, and steps over to the greeter. As the man goes to ask if he'd like to know where the best stable is, the dwarf simply shouts over him with a heavy, hungover slur.

"ELF! A BAH!"6/6

As the mage chuckles and heads off, sure that he has enough gold to become a 'patron' of the library, the rogue meets the greeter's eye. It seems like he's just asking for a local lascivious luxury lounge, but in fact he slips in a coded message through the ever-mysterious Thieve's Cant.

Hardly a twinkle in the eye of the greeter betrays his understanding, and while he does in fact tell the rogue where the best pleasure hall is, he also secretly slides in directions to the local fence. 5/6
