It’s not the Anthropocene it’s the era of Grift. I suppose it could signal the end state of Capitalism- companies and governments allowing the grifters to run rampant… View quoted note →

The color this weekend was amazing!

A friend of ours stopped by today to harvest some spahgnum moss for a big he’s creating. The moss he finds here is the only variety he can get to stay alive and reproduce. He also came across club moss (pictured) which used to grow as tall as trees thousands of years ago!

"And yet, if you point out how stupid, wasteful, and corrosive these specific uses of AI are, you are painted as a loser killjoy by the investors and people who have the most to gain from its mass adoption, and the companies who make and promote the tools that enable it either ignore that it’s happening, publish some bullshit blog post that means nothing about how they are trying oh so hard to combat abuse of their systems, ask you what the big deal is, and continue to ensure that the swift destruction of the human-led, useful and usable internet continues unabated.”

Huge shoutout to @Daniel Cadenas who spent a fair amount of time deleting reply guy spam from our relays last week and setting up filters to prevent similar future attacks. Here’s to keeping search up and running!

Testing out the editor on the mac to see if we fixed the auto correct issue! And it’s fixed! Thanks Bryan Montz!

I’ve owned an Apple Watch for almost a year now and I have to say that I am deeply unimpressed. It knows weird creepy things about me like when I get in my car and then tells me how many miles to home, but then fails to capture certain physical exertion activities. For the past 2 days I’ve been cleaning out my mom’s house that was flooded by Helene, lifting super heavy waterlogged things and it tells me I’ve done no exercise. My quads and biceps are so sore and Apple is like nope physical labor isn’t bourgeois exercise.
