The world is really making it hard for us writers of #dystopian fiction to compete right now. FFS.

There has been a lot of research about autistics over the years, but this one really took the cake! 🍰

Find out what happened when researchers attempted to compare the moral compass of autistic and non-autistic people... (1/2)

I gotta admit, this one stings!

Please don't use #Fedified! 🙏

This is what it says about itself:

"(Fedified) is *the* way to make sure that you're following the account managed by the same person you used to follow on Twitter."

It wants to be a central authority. This is dangerous, and opposite to what the Fediverse stands for.

People become dependent on a central authority, then it gets bought out by billionaires.

You can already verify your account on here without using any centralised lists:

I wonder what this TV was used for... 🤔

So, DeviantArt opted in, by default, all existing art on the website for use by third-party AI.

Without notifying their users. For all existing art.

You have to go through your art pieces one by one and tick a box that you do NOT consent to this.

I learnt about it on Birdsite, by accident.

And of course, any inactive user or dead user will have their art used by AI models from now on, even though they never agreed to this.

Disgusting.

Shame on you! Jesus is watching!

There once was a spaceman called Musk,
Who hollowed the bird to a husk,
We migrated and flew,
To find friends old and new,
And now we are fans of the tusk 🦣

"Why is the UK struggling more than any other big country?"

Well, I suppose it could be that we've been more affected by the war in Ukraine or the #covid19 pandemic than other big countries, but I wonder, were there any other big countries that recently cut themselves off from their nearest trading partners?

"Good lord, that bird’s speaking a mixture of French and English!"

"You mean that pigeon?"

"Well, technically it’s a creole, but it’s still impressive."

"I'll open the living room windaes to let some warmth in" is an idea that should not be valid for a Scot in November.

Having been here since 2016, I can tell you there is definitely no such thing as a consensus on usage of content warnings on the fediverse. It's a decentralized network that doesn't belong to any one party, so by definition there is no single culture on it. Different corners have different expectations and customs.

Just boosting that Arkanoid II music reminding me I have all the levels from the first 2 games and one of the later games loading in a #SpectrumNext project with all new SpectNext graphics. I did them a while back. Expect a bunch of projects to be reactivated when my Next arrives, errrm, next year :) Just a few of the baddy sprites missing and the engine to pop in.
