Super. FB has a new feature called Meta AI that will respond to group posts that are unanswered after an hour, or if you mention it.

HOW DO I BLOCK THAT??

What's the best app for dealing with two accounts on Mastodon? If I have to pay for one, I'd prefer an upfront payment, rather than a subscription.

ETA: this would be for an iphone

artcollisions OP ,
@artcollisions@vis.social avatar

@loren Dang. Has the developer disappeared? I currently use Metatext when I have to, but it's not being maintained at all. Hmm, maybe I should check and see if it does 2 accounts.

    I get to go visit the house my oldest son and his fiancé are buying today. I have to say that it’s an odd realization that my biological purpose for existing is now complete.

    The LSQ staff has a Friday question every week. This week's has yielded some fun responses, and I was curious what yours might be:

    What public spaces do you feel most comfortable/cozy in? (Library, bar, park, mall, stadium, etc.)

    My entire time line is onions

    Four toots. First is Loren's and it says "uh oh here come the onions haha" Next is a boost of touk's toot saying "everybody loves onion" Then Nash, who toots :[gets back trying and failing to pull up all the wild onions in my yard]: ah, finally time to sit down and sign into mastodon, a pace where no onions will trou -- oh no ... oh NO and last from nathanlovestress is "onions and dragons"

    seems like it would be chaos but has anyone made some sort of fediverse/ap AIM clone? that seems like the sort of thing that would exist half cooked up somewhere

    @loren wonder if @jerry knows of one.

    Y'all realize that libraries, which we venerate (on the whole) are a GOVERNMENT SERVICE.

    We need to venerate all government services.

    Just putting this out there. We need to stop talking about how libraries are free. They are not free. I am happy to pay for their services with my tax dollars and I'd be happy to pay for other things like health care etc with my tax dollars so these services are available to EVERYONE.

    Say what you will about generative AI, it's certainly crammed all of my timelines with creepy fake-looking images that my friends keep posting as "Amazing!!" -- even friends who are art aficionados and I thought would know better. It's having a strange effect on me, which is a growing distaste and distrust of images themselves, as if the whole visible universe is being covered with some kind of slime.

    artcollisions ,
    @artcollisions@vis.social avatar

    @LaimesKudikis It just makes me more determined that the "hand of the maker" is visible in my art! @stevesilberman

    artcollisions ,
    @artcollisions@vis.social avatar

    @LaimesKudikis I'm not an illustrator, so I don't feel threatened by AI in that way.

    Trust me, there is plenty about AI that distresses me, but I don't ever see AI being able to hand make unique items.

    artcollisions ,
    @artcollisions@vis.social avatar

    @LaimesKudikis I mean, it's not even parody, really because there is no meaning behind it. No soul. I just find it very boring and don't know why anyone is interested in it.

    What is something you have learned you wish you could have told your younger self... but, you also know your younger self would never believe you?

    Here are mine:

    • Even if you are a smarty pants you still need to study, probably a lot.
    • Brush your teeth twice a day. Not once. TWICE.
    • The few things about your appearance you have (some) control over are not very important in romance.
    • No, you really do need to sleep.
    • Don't just study what's hard & impressive study what fascinates you.

    @futurebird making mistakes is how we learn. Try lots of things. Make lots of mistakes. And don't let anyone pressure you to do anything faster than what is comfortable for you.
