Conspiracy theorists write conspiracy theories about me, but I'm less interesting than all that. I just scrape sawtooths off the side of the ships, is all.

I keep forgetting about this platform & have no idea how to use it, or to what ends.

I post haiku on Tumblr & clown around on birdchan. Elephant site? I dunno. It's so stuffy & serious here.

Here's a first... I just got an email because ChatGPT suggested an article I wrote to somebody. Could I send them a copy? Except, I never wrote the article, it doesn't exist. PLEASE realize right now that this tool isn't pulling out cool references for you. It's making plausible titles and matching them to authors names.

Hey, hi, hello, hi. I never post here.

But I wrote a poem about this incredible craving for pudding (not jellied milk). I usually write about more serious stuff, like politics, and philosophy, and feelings, and feelings about politics and philosophy. Y'know.

This one's about snacks though.

Your periodic reminder that just because a URL is saved at archive.org doesn't mean it's going to stay there.

Last year, I wrote a series about proxy services marketed to cybercriminals, and that relied heavily on Archive.org links to document various connections. After my story ran, the person that those links concerned asked Archive to remove those links from their database, which they did. The person in question came back and said hey, what you said in your story is wrong because there's no supporting evidence and you must remove this. Archive.org confirmed they removed all of the pages at the request of the domain holder, and that was that.

If you stumble upon a page that is in archive.org and you want to make sure there is a record that won't be deleted at some point, consider saving the page to archive.today/archive.ph

Alternatively, of course, you could save the page locally, using something like Firefox's built-in full page screenshot (right click on page). Better yet, save the Archive.org pages you want locally.

Love this thread from @pluralistic (https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic/109566662150227973). In addition to these suggestions for social media use, please also remember that a lot of the English posts you see are from people who have learned it as an additional language. Language users who are less advanced will have a smaller vocab, so they may use words you find unsubtle or extreme or inappropriate or impolite. Try to see where language awareness, not malice, might be the problem.

@brainnotonyet Whenever reporters are using "vandalism" to describe one of these attacks, I just assume it was skullmasks w at least one connection to local/state PD.

In an algorithm-driven world, sometimes we forget how to have messy, imperfect relationships that don't always tick every box.

2017 article on the rise of the "algorithm-defined fantasy girl" in science fiction stories.

Blade Runner 2049 continues questionable trend of the ‘algorithm-defined fantasy girl’

We’ve seen it before and we’ll see it again

@emilykefinch It is asinine to me that a quack w his credentials would go w toad as their mastodon home. Like, it appears in your handle that way. Not even trying to blend into the mainstream, I love it.
