Home from the holiday with a real PC

Contemplating just giving up on life instead of migrating off of Last Pass and changing all those passwords

2am definitely doesn't seem like a great time to start doing it

I find the arguments against officially supported Fediverse search pretty tedious, as you have to be really naive to believe that a bunch of bad-faith actors aren’t already quietly archiving everything.

Much better to positively engage with people trying to provide a service that is clearly in demand than to bikeshed every public discussion while Prigozhin, Palantir, and a dozen GenZ Alexander Kogans archive everything.

My Christmas gift to everyone is the opportunity to download a copy of my 2014 eBook ‘Pressing Matters Vol 2’ absolutely free from Amazon. Pressing Matters is my insider history of Press for Change, Britain’s trans rights campaign, which began in 1992. This second volume, which can be read alone, charts our activity from about 1998 to 2007 and thus takes in all the legislative advances in that time, including the GRA.

Important message on the use of #LLM Chatbots for information seeking/ text generation: "It is urgent that we recognize that an overlay of apparent fluency does not, despite appearances, entail accuracy, informational value, or trustworthiness”
Well said @emilymbender and Chirag Shah 👇

Why We Should Not Trust Chatbots As Sources of Information

On a deeper note, they say, the pursuit of absolutely certain Correct Information suffers from a fundamental flaw — it doesn’t exist.

Lol breaking news is that Jared Kushner is expected to replace Elon as Twitter CEO
