My desire to use Mastodon is basically at zero now because post-"Claude", hanging out here means inevitably I'm going to have a conversation with someone who tolerates, or even uses, "generative AI". And what's the point of being in a community where that's a risk. Interestingly* there is absolutely no chance of this on Bluesky, because there are artists there

* And oddly, given how "AI"-brained the *admins* there are

"united states bans wifi routers" is a funny way to describe the order, but i suspect it's more like "united states requires bribe for new models of wifi router".
β€œβ€¦disabled people are actually less likely to drive than nondisabled people and more likely to get around by walking and rolling and taking transit. Car-heavy cities are also disproportionately dangerous for disabled folks…”— @[email protected] Don’t use accessibility β€œas a political football.”

Do car-free zones hurt disabled people? We asked experts.

City planners and advocates are seeing "accessibility used as a political football."

I made a keyboard because I needed one and nothing on Android was built for blind users. I put it on GitHub because someone else might need one. Then I woke up this morning and Mastodon had eaten it.

New blog post β€” what overnight virality actually looks like from the inside, the TalkBack problem nobody else bothered solving, Flexy, and why I spent the day building instead of panicking.

@Adorable_Sergal yeah sure why not outsource all our technology and then ban importing the tech so we just don't have electronics anymore
...excuse me? America is banning the import of WHAT??
@xgranade i feel like the most striking example of this is when they make a big deal about usage of puberty blockers, HRT, etc. being "off-label." clearly counting on their audience to not know how common that is!

I'm going back to the start
Through the darkness of my body parts,
Oh Lord, there is horror in my bones.

I'm gonna swim in the sin
And down the river of lost innocence.
Oh Lord, spit me out into the ocean's arms!
'Cause I'm going back to my heart.

Every activity is made better by imagining being a wyvern walking around in one's cute lumbering sorta way (like how eagles walk)
