Living some where between exciting and terrifying on the X axis, stupidity and bravery on the Y, and stress vs relaxation on the Z!
Mostly out of balance!

#Amazon has started creating auto-generated #AI reviews. The review for my @scarfolk book says that it's "full of fun, fascinating articles for children".

Would that be the book that I designed around cult brainwashing techniques and contains images of dead & disfigured kids?

I'm so happy to see that the new @icecubesapp has implemented something I've imagined since we rolled out our own Mastodon instance (https://mastodon.macstories.net/@viticci/109542886691696219):

The ability to pin local timelines from *other* instances for quick access. This way, if an organization has their own instance, you have a fast way to see all posts from it.

I love this idea. Well done @dimillian 💯

Attached: 1 image A nice perk of running your own Mastodon server for your organization: The local timeline becomes a very effective way to see all posts from the team. For example, the local MacStories timeline, accessible by anyone via this link, is like a MacStories list featuring posts from all of our accounts. https://mastodon.macstories.net/public/local

Another stupid hot take about the Fediverse. This time courtesy of Megan McArdle from the Washington Post.

Apparently, Mastodon is doomed because it solves problems most users don't care about.

Just like Linux is a failure—because only hobbyists and IT professionals use it.

Except—unknown to Megan—Linux is a huge success which runs on everything (including your router).

Also Megan seems unaware that the *actual* problem with social media really is centralization.

Twitter might be replaced, but not by Mastodon or other imitators

Twitter's successor will probably be something not much like Twitter at all.

"The world remained firmly in warming’s grip last year, with extreme summer temperatures in Europe, China and elsewhere contributing to 2022 being the fifth-hottest year on record"

Europe experienced its hottest summer ever, while 2022 was the fifth-hottest year on record worldwide.
