       I'm impressed with how seamless Mastodon is in terms of interacting between servers. You really wouldn't know that other accounts are on a different instance if it weren't for the extended handle.

       I often feel like a bit of a fuddy duddy, with my deep and well-founded suspicion of BNPL schemes, but never has an article captured my reaction more perfectly than this one.https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2023/01/buy-now-pay-later-affirm-afterpay-credit-card-debt/672686/#CreditHarm #FinancialInclusion #BNPL #ProblemDebt

       @notjustbikes Apropos the tank, I saw a comparison recently which pointed out that some modern SUVs have worse sight lines than an actual abrams tank. Just inexcusable.

       This thread is an absolute ride, detailing the complete lack of any financial or technical controls at FTX before they went under. I spent the first few posts thinking "how did they ever file their accounts if they had no records of their assets??", before discovering that they didn't! And it only gets wilder from there!@Frances_Coppola https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff/110171298698153770

       Hi, magic fedi: does anyone know anyone with experience of locally opposing the construction of new arms facilities in the UK? Looking for any tips on strategy as I'm not sure where to start. Please boost.

       Videoconferencing software: what the hell??I spent four hours on what I thought would be a quick job yesterday, to find some software that would work better for a co-op meeting than Zoom. Every platform has a million shit features that nobody needs, like an AI summary function as if the attendees aren't, you know, IN THE MEETING... but not a single one has the ability to run a poll, which can be closed during the meeting, and can tell you who has voted even if they are not logged in.What???

       @futurebird The bit that really floored me was ChatGPT advising him not to talk to his mum, or leave the noose out in the open in the hopes that she would stop him using it.I was in similar groups and accessed NSPCC's ChildLine. The groups were a bit of a wild west but generally well moderated, and the ChildLine counsellors were experts.In both contexts, I don't believe anyone would have responded to a suicidal teen considering telling his mum, with anything other than encouragement.
