It's been a little while since i checked in on Loops @loops and damn the app got so good! Back to posting if anyone's interested in a mediocre white man documenting his life, week by week, occasionally dropping some of his thoughts too! See you there!
Hilarious side effect of the OpenAI pivot to porn plus the Swedish ban on online pornography purchases: Paying for ChatGPT in Sweden may be a criminal act soon.
@aram the worst part is most of his voters will NEVER even be aware of this, because fragmented mainstream news and social media allow people to just construct alternate realities.
Fox will probably say what you described is the fault of Joe Biden or Antifa or something and no piece of our shared reality will penetrate that bubble.

If I understand correctly (and please do correct me if I am wrong), it seems like Framework has started sponsoring Hyprland: So I presume this is fact: Framework, as a company, has decided to sponsor a Wayland compositor who is well known to be led as a rather “toxic and hateful community”.

@eve @Mastodon exactly. Plus, the comments are kinda broken, it'd be much easier to post a loop and then have conversations about it in the Mastodon app.
@AxiosNews @axios-AxiosNews how is this legal and not basically one state invading another?
@dansup I'm planning to start posting loops again regularly, this makes me excited
