it's cute when websites think I would turn off my ad blocker rather than just leaving the page

Many people have switched from Twitter to Mastodon, but not everyone who followed me before on Twitter knows that I'm active here also. Will you help me increase my reach on Mastodon? Share this post, boost it or comment and let me know why you're following me. Maybe with some smart hashtags. Thank you! šŸ‘ 😊

I got laid off a few weeks ago and the job hunt is starting to hurt my soul. Is anybody out there #hiring #python software or data engineers?

Mastodon absolutely needs more journalists. We should not have millions of people boosting one another’s ideas without a solid contingent of people in here professionally trained to vet stories, check facts, and use best practices for sharing news. It is, imo, an urgent issue & critical for the ongoing success of the fediverse #Press
It’s a catspiracy …
I thought you might need to see this right now.

There’s always been a somewhat unsettling air of exploitation and voyeurism with the rise of the true crime trend.

This sadly seems like the inevitable next step from reenactments and interviews with survivors. Deepfakes of children narrating their own murders.

This is the kind of content that even though legal, every platform should ban. The ā€œinfluencersā€ who claim to be spreading awareness and refuse to remove videos when victims parents complain are the worst.

AI is being used to give dead, missing kids a voice they didn’t ask for

The videos show the likeness of Gabriel FernƔndez, James Bulger and Madeleine McCann narrating their deaths or disappearances in child-like voices.

The Washington Post
You are not immune to propaganda. Fact check as much as you can, even if the results are things that align to your worldview, even if someone sounds verifiable, even if there is an emotional element and you don't want to feel like the "bad guy" for even thinking that they may be wrong. Fact check things as much as you can.
edit: fixed pretty bad connotation
Why are they even allowed to drive?

Getting ready for the Providence Flea tomorrow. It's not a flea market, but a huge outdoor artisan market along the Providence canal on 275 S.Water St, Providence RI
