Meh, some banal stuff about me.
I like books, music, hockey, 'mingos, my grandchildren and tech. I am on Mastodon as @[email protected]. I am "watched the moon landing live" years old

FYI, I don't follow back anyone with:
0/1 posts
No picture
high follows but very low followers
no actual user name (just the handle)
I have managed to prune most of the trolls out of my feeds and have no interest in adding more.

Wave your "genAI hater" flags high, you princes of industry. It is going to help you, not hurt you. Smart people who care about the planet and the human race will fall all over themselves to make a spending choice they can feel good about.

I just want to generally thank everyone in tech (and in business generally) who has NOT been overcome by "genAI and fascism are the inevitable future, join in to save yourself" cowardice and is instead standing up courageously for the value of human creativity, critical thinking, and discernment.

The great toilet seat debate between men and women: you're both wrong. Close the whole darn lid before flushing. No one needs a cyclone of bacteria leaping free toward their faces, nor a stagnant pool of water for phones and knickknacks to fall into.

The worst thing about talking on the phone without headphones/earbuds is not being able to use the phone to look at other things so you can ignore whatever is being said on the phone.

Let’s hope the shift continues and that Massie and Greene are not the only (R)s with the guts to be vocal about the depravity of the goddamn U.S. President real soon.

People were fired when they said anything other than positive about Charlie Kirk after his murder. Yet the President can do anything he wants with no consequences.
