I'm doing well enough, can't complain.

But I can tell more and more people aren't doing well, and I want to do something about it.

So if you know any charities with a good track record, feel free to reply with their names/links.

A few quick questions.

  • Are ICE agents known to always display identification front and center?

  • Does the US government enforce this requirement?

  • Is the comment you are replying to sarcastic?

Worst case scenario, I'll just decide on a cutoff date (probably somewhere between 2021 and 2029) and focus on stuff created before that date, which will contain almost all of the man-made media and none of the genAI slop.

There is a ton of really cool stuff I heard about for me to go through anyway. Video games alone should last me well past the Hayflick limit (hard limit for a human lifetime unless radical life extension breakthroughs happen). To say nothing of movies/anime, books/comics/manga, crafts, causes, etc...

Geeks aren't the ones pushing GenAI, but for pun purposes we should let it slide this time.

Not the horse, though. The horse stays outside for bonfire night.

Yeah, also:

People building, running, and maintaining fedi are geeks.

People in control of (not the ones building and maintaining) most/all corpo social are techbros.
