Apple Intelligence on board is an overt opposition alternative narrative to the venture capital funded insistence of “send your data to the A.I. cloud” as the only option in the market. #wwdc24
02:12 PM
Wow. I called that one. “A.I. cloud” = BAD is going to be a thing.

I need to devote a single day to automation each month. This should return weeks and months of repetitive tasks time.

For #selfhosted #singleuser #mastodonadmin folks:
If you were to start over again fresh in 2025, what would be your preferred #fediverse alternative stack or project instead of #mastodon?
Asking for a friend. ( #itme )

I was looking into #bimi again i.e. a TXT record in #dns that points to two things that might allow a fancy logo to magically appear in webmail inboxes
The location of your preferred inbox image
the location of your $$$$ cert that says to the world ‘yes that is my logo’ and I paid for it
Still, years later… I’m not sure I can justify $129 minimum per month to say I have a cert. So, I left off “a=” but I’m not sure if that breaks anything else.🤷♂️

“You’re one of 79,243,727 people pwned in the Advance Auto Parts data breach”

So many Slack communities that are on “free” plans are moving to Discord, Mattermost, and RocketChat… curiously the forks are growing too.
Mattermost: 7k forks
RocketChat: 10k forks

Somewhere a kid with the heart of a punk is going to name their band “Longevity Escape Velocity” and play basement shows before a grainy YouTube Short goes viral and they become overnight sensations.

I had forgotten about this until a wave of Redbox nostalgia hit me which sent me down a rabbit hole of YTMND sites…
I need to dust off the gear and make some boop beep danga sounds.

I was catching up on the email signup form over at Netlify for Unicorn Jockeys podcast. Attempted SQL injection is a good sign of increased subscriber interest, right? 🤣

But remember, this is a bit, a skit, and… could never ever be a possible reality in these modern times.
