If Twitter was around in the 19th century, Manifest Destiny Twitter would have been full of maps like these

Halloween Town the best. Halloween Town was the worst.

I guess my parents used the tv as a babysitter like parents who use iPads now?

I’ve been screaming this. “iPad kids” are not a new or unique phenomenon. The fundamental problem is emotionally unavailable parents who either lack the time or the emotional maturity to build a connection with their kids and help them regulate their nervous system.

Look at my socdems dawg

In that case, they just preferred the underage version

That’s awesome! Any chance we could get the FOIPA request number to keep track of the request? Or would that release your redacted info as well?

I’ve introduced my coworkers to the concept of the “copilot pause” where you stop typing and your brain turns off while you wait for copilot to make a suggestion. Several of them can’t unsee it now and have stopped using copilot.

I’m personally very conflicted between my love of computers and the seeming necessity of conflict minerals in their construction. How much coltan is dug up every year just to be shoved into an IoT device whose company will be defunct in six months, effectively bricking the thing?

But I don’t think they’re ready for this conversation.

Love Glaucomflecken. Wish he wasn’t so lib about but I understand why he is. He’s a total policy wonk when it comes to healthcare.

I think this would be simple ActivityPub-wise, but would be more complicated in terms of moderation and would involve some non-arbitrary decisions.

Maybe I’ve just not read the “correct” stuff, but I’ve largely found fascist propaganda to be incoherent and a waste of time.

I must have just lucked out with my hardware or something. I’ve never had a problem and everything just works. Much better experience than installing and running Windows. I also run a Mac with OSX too though.
