@strypey lol! Low bar to set, though. And I’m generally in favour of framing things in the positive as opposed to setting something in the negative / in opposition to The Other.

Craft folx! Look at this awesome knitting machine (complete with bits and pattern (ie code) book) - $30!!! (Vinnie’s Levin.)Honestly, if it not for the fact I live in Ōtautahi and am transporting a dog as is, and if I knew how to use it (latter issue solvable), would buy.

This is why a) health data services scare the living whatsits out of me* (extremely private info, often scarily outdated systems, etc), and why b) ORGANISATIONS SHOULD KEEP ABSOLUTELY MINIMUM DATA.* And thus I refuse to use them, including the ones doctors etc keep pushing one to use for appointments, results etc.https://www.theregister.com/2024/08/26/31m_invoices_business_files_exposed/

Oh dear lords. Updating Alexa to make it “more intuitive and useful”? SO, it’s gonna get even worse.That _plus_ placing a surveillance listening device directly into your home isn’t the best idea, folx.#data #ethics #privacy #GenAI

@strypey I'm on Bsky because, tbh, there's just a lot of awesome stuff going on there, and I've found mastodon to be very quiet...

@strypey Yep, it's been going for yonks! Sadly, here (as is often the case) got taken over by the for-profits. I was one of the early neighbourli peeps back when it was still cool but then Venture Capital etc wrecked it.

@strypey depending on what you mean by AI, it's PLENTY locally practical :) And if it's not, well, that begs some questions about whether it's appropriate.

@strypey @lightweight @AdminKirsty @artnacrea yeeep!I did my part internally, including by repeatedly warning against the dangers of vendor capture; to no avail. The tech and procurement and management peeps don't care (or become indignant).
