Footpad
Wittercism and crittercism.
- This must have majorly done the furry rounds when it came out but how the hell did I miss it www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vTL... esp. f.a.o. @scruff.bsky.social fnpr
- trapped in an endless repeating time loop of people showing you their hogs
- Reposted by Footpad*sigh* here we go again. Your phone is not listening to everything around you 24/7 for advertising purposes. *If* you have voice activation on for the assistant, the mic is listening for the activation phrase: the processing power for listening for a single specific phrase is much lower.
- Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...
- I have a thousand petty cruelties on my account and I am beset by their memories but remorse brings no atonement.
- FUCKING FANTASTI— oh, damn, different Miller.
- crazy insomnia please release me and let me dream of making love to werewolves on the heath, tearing out tufts with my teeth
- Awoo, just sayin'.
- The video @techconnectify.bsky.social is referring to is here and I emphatically recommend it either if you're interested in the compelling economics of renewable energy, or if you want to avoid the grinding horror of an emergent neofeudal dictatorship. Maybe even both! bsky.app/profile/tech...
- blog post for the small set of people who're interested in both aviation and mental illness: a dry account of how my history of depression affected the process of getting a flight medical certificate: footpad.dreamwidth.org/600170.html
- Plug for people who like audiobooks: @libro.fm are knocking two euros off their monthly subscription price. Same price as Audible, but no lock-in, no DRM, your credits don't expire, and your purchases support indie bookshops instead of swivel-eyed billionaires. It's a win all round. Go switch.
- HOLY CRAP @coelliptic.bsky.social @nachtfuchs.bsky.social the crazy bastards signed off on me! Not easily, and with qualifications: yearly psych eval, some slightly worrying mumbling about "single seat aircraft? well that's okay then". But fuck it, I'll take it!
- The act of having done something concrete in support of Minnesota is a partial but effective armour against the emotional damage of seeing atrocities committed in Minnesota. If you're feeling crap about it, do something about it.
- Finnish reindeer kills suggest that wolf population has increased in Russia as Russian hunters are sent to Ukraine. www.theguardian.com/environment/... That sure is a complex mess of consequences.
