@quinn@octodon.social Are you okay with it degrading over time as your body ages? I have text on my wrist that's a bit larger and it hasn't been too bad. I think thin lines tend to get blurry and leech over time regardless of where it is. Getting touch ups can help

@T_X @battlemesh Ooo! I think I heard about this. I'd love to attend but I'm not sure if I'd afford it out of pocket. Travelling from Canada can be a bit pricy since I need several connecting flights. 😅

@futurebird Paying for reach is so depressing. Like, what's the point of following someone if you're not necessarily even going to see their content in your feed? Are you supporting creators if they have to pay Meta for every post, just so you might see it? And it's not like creators are paying for access. No, they'd have access if feeds weren't full of stuff that nobody asked for. They're paying to offset the revenue Meta could have made from selling that slot to someone else.

If you're like me, then you were really happy to learn about Mastodon's enthusiastic support for image descriptions, and you were really eager to join in.

Then you went to actually write something and realized you have no idea how to present visual information in a way that is helpful/enjoyable to those who are #VisuallyImpaired or #Blind.

I found this guide really informative: uxdesign.cc/how-to-write-an-im

Of course, I'd also love to hear any additional tips y'all might have!

Could any folks on here that use comment on what keyboard shortcuts they find useful for navigating web content?

Are there any web apps yoy use that make it even easier to get to the info you want?

@ryanramage Thanks, I honestly think it wouldn't take much for us to make some cool new approaches to technology from the bottom up without having to reinvent everything from first principles.

My "position" on #Wildebeest — and really all #ActivityPub software — is as follows: If it lets you migrate your followers in and out, sure, give it a try; If it does not, you should be VERY wary of using it for your important accounts.

Wildebeest does not let you transfer your followers to/from it, ergo it should not be used, lest you find yourself locked-in to Cloudflare's ecosystem forever. Whether or not you like #Cloudflare is irrelevant, you should not tie your fediverse identity to any company permanently.

It's very frustrating for me to see even large ActivityPub implementations that have been around forever not implement follower migrations. Even #Pixelfed doesn't (although I hear that may be coming this year). Anyways... I asked them if they might implement it, but I don't exactly have my hopes up. github.com/cloudflare/wildebee

@tty Ty! It took me a while to prep how I'd present myself visually for the recording. 🙇

ai, LLM talk 

A scary part of large language models is that a significant portion of the represented ideas and mannerisms within them come from terminally online.

Like, a lot of normal people just don't post online enough for their worldviews to be encoded in there. 😨

@gordon I think phones not having a keyboard and LLMs being glorified autocomplete speaks to needing to accept that these are fundamental aspecrs of thw tech and to work with it.

IMO disregarding that LLMs are autocomplete makes it harder to appreciate the reality of what they do. It's like not seeing the mirror you're talking at at the fun house.

Reddit: "My friend is in university and taking a history class. The professor is using ChatGPT to write essays on the history topics and the students need to mark up its essays and point out where ChatGPT is wrong and correct it."

Honestly, this is great! The students learn to check sources, discover that ChatGPT is unreliable, *and* can't use it to generate essay question answers for them, all at the same time!

As expected, I managed to get the two of the most urgent things done using some sacrifices to the dark gods (lots of caffeine). :P

Hopefully the next two days will be more chill as a result.

@elliswyatt I don't think you have anywhere near the insight to give me useful advice for my context and I honestly am not seeking advice from anybody, but I appreciate the sentiment.
