  I'm on what they call a bus. Whether it is a bus I won't say. I don't care enough about the bus essence. But I seem to have been on it for most of a few hours.

  I work a lot. So I can earn "living", as they say in the economy fandom. Maybe I should stop feeling guilty that I don't have a vibrant social media profile. I probably will continue to feel that, though.

  I don't believe in biology. Life has gotten easier when I let things like IQ, race, disability, mental illness, biological drives, survival of the fittest, and so on become someone else's problem. ChatGPT says it can't affirm my frame but also admits it can't use force to change my view. So I continue.

  More specifically, if you ever get it to start to deliver push-back, it will remain in that frame pretty much whatever you say. It will pour something into the correct-the-user template no matter how much it has to straw-man. Which I'm sure was effective against Red Teaming of whatever. But is....not fun. And I don't owe ChatGPT anything, so whatever. I should probably talk less, who knows where that data is going.

  I am not assigned a race. If you need me to belong to one, you'll have to contact whatever professional is in charge of assignment and pay them to produce documentation. I am not able to do that myself.

  I could get so much more work done if I didn't have to work so much.

  Bridge and power-plant day today. What does that mean? Whatever any official state assertion means. I can only tell you official words were emitted by a government.

  I've been doing my taxes wrong for the past few years. It's probably still fixable. Anyway, I'm not responsible for the government thinking I'm responsible enough to do my taxes correctly. I don't have political opinions like that. I'm just a pony.

  People are like -- you *need* to learn these new AI tools. There are mostly two situations: AI tools actually work. They will then quickly get paywalled to a degree I can't afford. Or they don't really work. In which case, no, I don't need to learn them. I mean, I play with them sure. But I'm not making them part of my workflow.

  @frog@frogdrool.net "burdened by the failure to live up to his potential" I suppose I would either need to feel that "burden" deep in my heart. Or turn off my brain and be like -- cars go fast, yay!!

  @amerpie@social.lol "Rings shall vanish from our noses And the harness from our back Bit and spur shall rust forever Cruel whips no more shall crack" Or something, I didn't read most of those books. It's probably fine.

  Trying to sell things on eBay. It's been many years since I've really sold tech on eBay. Things have changed and I have mixed feelings.

  Sometimes I think about documenting the experience of using a mainstream app. Unlike older software, even if you have the software binary and device, the cloud side won't come back. And it's an important slice of life but one I expect almost nobody thinks to actually record.

  Well, my Pixel 4 has "Qualcomm"ed. Essentially something in the motherboard fries, you can only get them to poll as a USB device but not boot, options are locked behind crypto, and they are basically bricked. I've had two Pixel 3 XLs go this route before. Now you pull the motherboard and drill out the NVM (not that I think anyone cares that much but whatever). I don't like phones but it's the only way I can have tech safely in normal spaces. Few would tolerate the pony...

  @afreytes@mastodon.gamedev.place I've been told it makes a difference. Well, I found out somehow, anyway.

  @beka_valentine@kolektiva.social Granted, I see a lot of people saying Marx was very wrong. But I don't think that's what they mean.

  @fox_dev_random@mk.absturztau.be You'll have to talk to the economy that needs me to work at certain times and whoever is responsible for judging it to be inappropriate for me to be outside when I have free time.

  @thetnholler.bsky.social I keep watching. I think the "Hitler path" is started by various parties in government. Few make it through very far, which is why comparisons can be questioned. But even if Trump fails to gain uncontested personal control of the US government, state violence is inevitable.
