Will you help me with a little experiment?On the #birdsite, I had 1000 followers, but very few interactions. One day, I asked: "If you're seeing this, please like it or respond!"I'm not exaggerating when I say I got 5 responses. 3 were my real-life friends.So. I'd like to compare. If you're seeing this message, please just give a shout / fav / boost!I gain nothing from this; just trying to compare experiences. TY! ❤️ #twittermigration #mastodon #twitterexodus #TwitterTakeover #twitter

@leo Keep in mind this is a company that made ghost accounts for people that never even signed up for their service, based on the accounts of their friends and relatives.If you care about the privacy of your data, no, this is not a good thing. If you don't care about that, then...sure.

Anyone in the #CentralNY or #WesternNY regions have experience with Mint Mobile? I've had Verizon forever, but in researching sustainable and repairable phone brands, it seems the big V has intentionally limited their service. Might be time for a change.#cellphone #tech #verizon #verizonwireless #mintmobile #sustainable #sustainability #mint #NY #newyork #westernnewyork #centralnewyork #mobile

I am trying to empathize with people who use AI "art." It is a cool technology for personal use. I have no problem with that. Have fun with it. But as soon as someone starts sharing that publicly as if they've accomplished something by plugging some terms into a glorified search engine/language interpreter, I really take issue with how that undermines true artists who have honed their craft for years or decades...Which is why I wish we would all agree to block or mute people who continuously share "their" AI "art" rather than promoting the ACTUAL art of other humans. Your robot toy is not as cool as you think it is, IMHO. The human out there using their mind and body to create something new and unique is MUCH more interesting and valuable.Sorry if this offends, but I think it is important.#aiArt #art #ai #artificialintelligence

Hot take. If I can be honest for a sec, I am not loving COVID. 2/10 at best.

@stefano Until it somehow starts costing governments money to deal with these discarded items, no legislators or private interests will care, so it won't get traction. But I am 100% on the same page as you. It is criminal how these companies blatantly force consumers to discard their perfectly functional hardware every 2-3 years as a business model. Case in point: I just had to replace a 5 year old Samsung tablet because my workplace updated our security requirements for work devices (it was a private device I chose to use for work and play), and the tablet had stopped getting security updates in 2020. Nothing wrong with the device except that it has been deemed "obsolete."This wasteful, exploitive practice should be criminal.
