Some days it really feels like life is trying to shake the cage it has me trapped in. :/




So if SCOTUS said that you can't copyright AI-generated art, does that also apply to AI-generated code? :3c

"Mountain Over Leavenworth"


Taken while we rode rented mountain bikes in the road together.

The rental bikes were okay, but our knees weren't happy and my partner didn't like the shifters nor brakes on them.

Every day I live makes me glad I'm not immortal. 🙃

not sure if I remember the number correctly, but back in the 80s there used to be a Radio 1 jingle that went something like "One million watts of music power" and every time I heard it I would point out to anyone who'd listen that this was considerably fewer watts of RMS power.

I was very annoying as a teenager, probably

Judge orders MN’s U.S. Attorney to appear at contempt hearing Tuesday over violations in immigration cases


In a rare move Feb. 18, U.S. District Judge Laura Provinzino found Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Isihara in civil contempt of court over failures by the U.S. government to return identification documents to an immigrant previously ordered released in Minnesota. Provinzino ultimately purged the civil contempt but issued a stern warning to the U.S. Attorney’s Office that its repeated claims of low staffing and crushing caseload has “worn out its welcome.”

Thanks to all the Protogen exposure I've gotten on Fedi, "beep" has replaced "ping" for me as a test message. :P
