npm: union busting scum
So this new article showed up on The Register today:
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/07/02/npm_abandons_settlement_talks/
TL;DR NPM fired folks for trying to improve working conditions and talking about unionizing. Blatantly illegally. Union busting companies don't usually settle with the employees. That tells me this was egregious.
Decided to see what would happen if I trained a neural net to write names for self-aware AIs.
May I present: GPT-2 trained on AI names from Iain M. Banks's Culture novels

Some telegram stickers commissioned by @leafnoodle! I'm open to do more of these if anyone wants some of their own - I'm thinking $15/sticker or $100 for ten? #dragon #furry #mastoart

masto technical
@chr @tastymochafox if i could follow off-server-whitelist, and we could see each other’s posts if we were mutuals (but maybe the rest of server federation didn’t work), my UX issues as a regular user would go away.
And imo, it would be a lot easier for servers to use whitelist mode without that stumbling block. maybe someday!
masto hot take
@tastymochafox being on awoo, I’ve had so many exchanges that were “I moved to <new hot instance>, follow me there” “I can’t” “:/“
I like some of the results, but it’s super unfriendly too. I assume there’s some technical reason why users couldn’t follow outside the main list (ie, add their own mini-whitelists)?
re: masto drama snark
@Nephila agreed! the notion of “we would like you to be part of this community instead of a ghost” is very foreign to monolithic social media.
by popular demand, here's the final draft of the Queer Villain Pride flag I did yesterday, along with a link to a hi-res version here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/abew1ci7y5xzt9q/villainpridelarge%20copy.png?dl=0
again: pink for passion, orange for community, green for knowledge, purple for queer history, and black for evil, pure EVIL. feel free to use this for whatever. mwa ha ha ha haaa, etc
