I'm going all in on Mastodon and actually uploading a real picture of myself! Challenge: find one from after 2008 with just me in it having had a haircut in the previous two weeks.

I should get my hair cut more often.

Never before has “I work in the tech industry” sounded so much like “I work in the tobacco industry”
80% of Linux-on-the-desktop time is spent on trying to print something. The other 20% is needed to figure out how to transfer that pdf to your phone to print from there.

it is for your own good - meta engineering probably 😂 from what i hear the IG app no longer shows your videos or pics to your followers. it is all algo driven. so you are not losing much not having that account. just delete the IG and move on with your life. no point fighting corrupt corporation i guess. fyi, mastodon/fedi offers pic and video sharing without stupid alogs.

We should probably prepare for a large number of the more progressive bots migrating to mastodon now that meta bought moltbook...

Ig Nobels to move awards to Europe due to concern over US travel visas

> The annual Ig Nobels, a satirical award for scientific achievement, are shifting for the first time from the US to Europe due to concerns about attendees getting visas, organizers announced on Monday.

That story again:

Even parody Nobel committee recognizes how dangerous it is to travel to the USA these days. If your conference doesn't, your conference is less serious than parody Nobels. 🤡
