yeah it's like a generative AI physics professor saying with absolute confidence that E=mc³ lol

really wish apng support was more common because it's really cool!

I still see it every now and then unfortunately and also one of my professors is using it a ton for creating slides and study materials. Makes me feel crazy because it creates diagrams like this which show that binary is 1s and 1s

best candy texture ever. I get it

So many people talk about the merits of free/open source software, and they are right, but if it took child slavery to make the computer you run it on then how free as-in-freedom is it really?

It's like genuinely some of the worst stuff I've ever heard about with regards to the tech supply chain that goes into the device you are reading this post on right now. But because Apple and Samsung and every other tech company does it, everyone else does too. It's a race to the bottom

I typed that last post badly then edited it badly so it looks garbled up but here are some pics. Not including alt text because I literally don't know how to explain what I'm looking at with words but it's just like inaccurate graphics with incorrect or inconsistent labels

This class is crazy easy so I'm not worried about it, like it's something where I generally know as much as the professor or more than he does in some areas.know more than the professor does in some areas. But if I didn't know that much, and I had to use these generated incorrect PDFs to study? welp

Hi @eobaltimore.bsky.social it looks like I cannot send messages with your current account settings. You can either follow me to allow this or go to Messages > ⚙️ and set it to "Everyone" to change this

I also almost exclusively use a dedicated desktop program for email because logging into and repeatedly loading up multiple websites makes me feel crazy. Desktop programs can also automatically sort emails for you, a huge advantage that results in you not needing to use brain power/space for this.

Have found this is generally the best way for me to manage things as somebody with ADHD. I generally treat all DMs/texts/messages as those that warrant quick response.

I almost always finish my workday with zero unread or unfulfilled emails, and anything that needs to get done is sorted for later.

For sure, feel free to reach out

what devices/platforms are you interested in finding alternatives to? I could probably point you in the right direction, I've been a privacy tech nerd for a while so this is an area I'm knowledgeable about

I am going to create hell 2 (like normal hell but worse) just for them

Reading Blackshirts and Reds was really formative for me in developing an accurate model of capitalism/imperialism and countering the anticommunist propaganda I grew up with. I didn't know he died until I just saw this. RIP to a legend
