Grammarly has rolled out an AI-powered "expert review" feature where its simulacrum of me makes suggestions for your text. My real edits are usually along the lines of "Throw this into the sea."

My poll about mansplaining was mansplained to me. Deleted. Done. Time to sign off for a bit.

Mastodon has a new human-over-AI contribution policy.

tl;dr:

- The human contributor is the sole party responsible for the contribution.

- If AI was used to generate a significant portion of your contribution (i.e. beyond simple autocomplete), we require you to disclose it in the Pull Request description.

- If you cannot guarantee the provenance and legal safety of the AI-generated code, do not submit it.

- Cases of repeated violations of these ... guidelines could result in a ban from our repositories.

Hi everyone,

If you are using hastags with multiple words, please use camel case.

#LikeThisExample

Not #likethisexample

Why?

A) Screen readers will see a bunch of letters that doesn't make one word and read out each individual letter. Which makes it hard to understand.

B) For us sighted people, it is also easier to read.

Thanks you

Today in Labor History March 10, 1896: Nancy Clara Cunard was born in London into the Cunard shipping dynasty. She was a surrealist writer, model, anarchist and an anti-fascist and anti-racist activist. Her family disinherited her because of her relationship with Henry Crowder, a Black jazz pianist from the U.S. She helped refugees from the Spanish civil war, wrote extensively about fascist Italy's invasion of Ethiopia, and worked as a translator for the French resistance during World War II. She was also active in the anti-racist movement in the U.S.

Metal Mystery Patch - help needed!
My kid bought this patch on a concert where this band opened. Unfortunately they remember neither the concert (because the opening act wasn‘t on the ticket) nor the band’s name. And it‘s unreadable. 😬

Google Lense was of no help.
Please boost widely! Thx!
