Wow, I might have to switch back to Android just to get away from the SMS spam! Lol, now they're doing the "hey it's been a long time since we've talk! How have you been?" kind of thing, and then they go "oh, are you my friend Henry?" So then after you say no, they'll go "Well that's okay, can we still talk?" And eventually they get to the whole "did you hear about the new program, for the elderly, poor, disabled, veterans, elderly, other people, elderly, oh please be elderly..." lol. But you can just about always tell because it's a number you've never interacted with, and it's an SMS. Not an iMessage, not an RCS message. Now, I know some Android users are gonna be using messaging apps that don't use RCS. But honestly the likelihood of that versus scam is kinda lopsided towards being a scam.
Poor Robokiller, they've not cracked down on this new tactic yet. And one almost got me too. My Pixel contacts were quite out of date, since I'd not added my new iPhone contacts yet. So I wasn't even sure if it was someone I really hadn't talked to in a long time, or what.
@DavidGoldfield spam, yes. However, there’s this call screening thing on the pixel line that will make the robots talk to a robot. In my experience, they don’t like it and tend to hang up very quickly.

he dreaded Daleks have met their 'final end' on more than one occasion. Will the Time Lord ever be free of his deadliest enemies? Let's take a look at all the times the metal mutants have been (seemingly) beaten forever...
That's the problem. Change the timeline, and the daleks are back. So it can never be 'forever.' I chuckled internally when I saw the name of this article.
I'm re-reading the paper that got @timnitGebru fired from Google and I'm realising now how they foreseen every problem related to LLM we're facing now. It's always good to re-read good papers (and depressing sometimes)
When my GP was on holidays, I had to see a younger GP, that she taught ... He asked if it was ok to use chatgp ... I instantly responded "no, and if you want my reason you need to turn the clock off for this appointment, and I will explain"
Then when I saw I GP later, she asked me how it went, and we got into a discussion about chatgp being wrong to use in a consult

@liseo It kind of did in the United States, not counting the tons of audio theater made for podcasts and, of course, not counting drama from overseas from the BBC.
@liseo Oh, I agree. Modern audio theater made for the Internet is positively vibrant. It was drama made for FM and AM radio in the U.S. which is a rare breed.
@liseo I do, as well, but my primary interest is science fiction drama. I have the usual suspects like X Minus One and Dimension X, as well as lots of drama from the BBC. If you have any unusual or rare SF drama, I'd love to know about it.
That was fast. TikTok is 'in the process of restoring service' after Trump said app stores and other providers won't be penalized for hosting the app. It's still not available in the app stores, though.

Recently my friend’s brother had an electric fire. I called an electrician to check our house just in case and it turns out our smoke detectors are expired. I did not know those expired. So here’s a PSA for anyone else who needs to check on that! 💜
So me to web Chat GPT "create a simple black on white outline line drawing of the Sydney Opera House". Chat GPT out line drawing done. Me "change to JPG file format". Chat GPT done, and link created to download. Me, download, and show it on the Monarch. Pretty amazing.
me: *working on laptop* my neighbour: excuse me, is that a gay pride sticker me: bi pride, but yes them: so you're bisexual? me: yes them: (blithely) oh, you've been with men and women? me: …yes? (a pause. I carry on working) them: (blithely) so which is better?

I have just read a most gloriously kink-informed science fiction short story. I am in awe of the author's powers of #kink negotiation. I think it might be the first time I've come across a story in this format, too.
I swear every time I see not just a big post with a hundred of the same replies, but the hundredth big post on a subject with a hundred of the same replies, I am renewed in the fact that #FetchAllReplies will fundamentally change this place for the better. As far as I know only we and one other masto/glitch instance have it, and it is already without a doubt the biggest game changer I have ever experienced on the fedi - when everyone has it, it will just be a completely different network.
And with that I'm gonna work on the PR until it's Mon ster don time
Es imposible que hayáis visto una fotografía de la Vía Láctea como galaxia en espiral porque para eso la cámara tendría que salir de la Vía Láctea y tenemos problemas para sacar una nave del Sistema Solar.
Sin embargo es normal que la mitad hayáis respondido que sí la habéis visto. Se publican con frecuencia imágenes generadas por artistas que dicen ser de la Vía Láctea donde no se avisa de que son falsas. Hasta bien mayor yo pensaba que esas fotos eran reales.
Lo prometido es deuda, dentro hilo sobre legislación de cosméticos en la Unión Europea. Vaya por delante que todo lo que voy a contaros lo controlo por haber trabajado 6 años en una farmacéutica como técnico de registros de cosméticos, biocidas, complementos alimenticios y productos sanitarios
Thread: I've been having a crap week, feeling sick all over the place, didn't play any music all of yesterday but today I sat down at the keys and wrote this weird little thing in 7/8, no drums, no tempo even. Fed it to #Suno for some ideas, and boy did I get some ideas! Just had to share some of them here. This is the original, and it's bad playing central. Luckily, Suno makes up for it. To me this is where AI can truly shine. Not just a random prompt and hit up a random word generator, but feeding it some ideas as a basis and letting it rip. 1/
Alright, now this has the most beautiful time-signature and I still haven't quite worked out what it is but I'm totally here for it. Probably my favourite generation of the lot. I got 8 in total, but this is the last one I'll share. I want to meet the drummer that can pull this off, and yes I know there are some of those out there for certain. #Suno
Wow, that is super complicated but beautiful. As a time signature nerd, I need to slow it down to figure out what's going on there. Did you manage to get it though finally?
