We need a stronger version of the word schadenfreude for what's about to happen to right wing US voters.

Infosec. Gaming. Anti-corpo. My opinions are only my own.
Everything you'll ever need to know about the US election system has been working this whole time.
The self-designated Black Nazi that pretty much *everyone* hated, got 40% of the vote.
The only prediction I'm willing to make: No matter who wins, this is the last time the US has an election like this. Either the system will break down with the death of a party due to populism burning out and the other party having to split to actually have some semblance of a unified base to aim at, or it'll be "fixed so you won't have to vote again."
Whatever ends up replacing this, because it is dying either way, let's hope it's better.
The existence (and use of) the npm package is-odd-ai is the shining example of everything I hate not only about AI, but also about modern development packaging.
Mr. Funk E. Dude 🫠This is your reminder...
There is no algorithm that brings posts to your timeline. The only posts you will see under your Home tab will be either people that you follow, or the boosts from people that you follow.
BOOSTING IS THE LIFE BLOOD OF MASTODON.
If you read something that is interesting, funny, thought provoking, news worthy, or beautiful, then BOOST IT.
Hitting "Favorite" lets the poster know that you liked it BUT IT DOESN'T LET ANYONE ELSE KNOW.
Keep Mastodon alive. BOOST.

Every story about the deficiencies of AI: "Magical widget not actually magical, still no replacement for actual thought"
So many people didn't get the point of literally all the faerie tales.
Greg Stolze@tess Yuuuup. I had this actual convo.
ME: So we shouldn't worry about Skynet?
MY FRIEND THE ALGO EXPERT: (laughs) No.
ME: But we should worry that an insurance algorithm might kill someone by denying them care.
MY FRIEND: (instantly serious) Oh yeah. That is definitely already happening.
Any time I hear or read someone spouting off about putting AI in charge of anything, I'm reminded of the old IBM quote...
"A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision."
My personal opinion only, but the hardest part of surgical recovery is the increasingly long tail.
