I was watching an episode of Masterchef Australia the other night and the audience cheered when the chef made meringue. This was odd because Australians normally boo meringue.
Since I left Clone Club I don't know what to do with myself.
I'm going to be posting more here from now on. It's something I have far more control over than even the best social media and I really should be using it far more than I have been, especially with the way everything is turning to enshittification. I also now include an RSS feed for those who use such things.
I currently have a 1980s mix in my YouTube Music playlist. For some reason, a song created using AI made its way into this list despite AI being a very non 1980s thing! I can't even block the channel from being added!
I tend to use mix playlists as they do play music I've not heard before but I can see strong curation in the future if this becomes a regular thing!

@brave@mastodon.social @Futurism@flipboard.com Please make sure any AI is optional and opt-in. I'd rather not see it than have to search on how to disable the bloody stuff.
@llamasoft_ox@toot.wales surely it should be shandy on the top deck! 😂

@nivrig@mastodon.social I honestly don't think it's going to burst but it will deflate. AI isn't going away but maybe, just maybe it can be turned into a useful tool. I know at the moment though it's like an apprentice who keeps interfering with stuff!
My phone is a Pixel 9 Pro. A while back I had a notification pop up. The virtual conversation went something like this:
Phone: I can now take messages for you. Shall I enable that?
Me: No, I have my mobile provider's answering service turned off for a reason.
That was that right? Nope!
Today (after getting up at 00:30 for work and returning to bed when I got home) I woke to a message that my phone had taken asking me if I want to work a night shift tomorrow.
I! Don't! Work! Rest! Days!

@nivrig@mastodon.social Exactly my thoughts.
Remember folks, during today's eclipse don't try viewing the sun through a colander. You might strain your eyes.
@eff@mastodon.social The trouble is that age verification has absolutely nothing to do with online safety, it's all about control. The governments (none of them) care about the safety of the populace.
It's back baby!
