Fresh beigeizen introductory post! 🌱 I moved here from another server, and here I feel like I can be weird but in a benevolent way. Privileged to be here.
A confession to open with: I'm a bit lost lately. Not in a dramatic way. More like staring at foggy buildings disappearing into the heights, seeing the beauty but not feeling the associated eerie melancholy. My life path is on autopoiesis, but not quite clear. It's challenging in a satisfying way, yet my mind is filled with a kind of jaded static. Perhaps I'm at the age of needing to rediscover myself. Or it's just the world being a lot right now. Likely both.
I make my living by making educational journeys happen. I design them from idea to delivery, or support others to do something similar. My background is in #psychology, and all my educational content intersects this science with democratic values and history. All #education should playfully animate curiosity and empathy. It's my way of contributing to nudging the world in better directions. Without heavily investing into emancipating, inclusive educational systems, we are all lost.
When I'm not doing that, I'm playing games - board games, TTRPGs or video games. Numenera is still my favourite tabletop RPG (campaign incoming, wish us good times). I'm also exploring Pathfinder, and I'm an #NSR fan with a soft spot for narrative-driven adventures. When it comes to vydia, #Faeria is my competitive favourite (let's connect and play if you're the rare breed who plays it too), while lately it's #ULTRAKILL where I go to feel things.
Speaking of worlds being built, I'm currently crafting #Cosmoboros, an outlandish TTRPG emerging from a #psychedelic haze. Also some smaller experimental stuff, like a floppy disk solo journaling game.
Occasionally I'll post photos I've taken or strange little stories I've written. I like books and non-conventional comics, so expect some reviews too. I just try to share bits of what inspires me. I tried to trap my shitposting persona to a secret account, but sometimes I can't help myself (not that I'm good at the art).
Full disclosure: I like AI (not limited to LLMs), I think it's one of the most wonderful things we've ever forced into existence, though I do criticise many of the technology's real-world effects.
Human rights are for everyone, except perhaps those who actively work on taking these rights away. Call these people what you want, to me, they are the enemy. Other than that I don't care what you believe in, as long as you are willing to discuss our inevitably different interpretations of the universe with an open mind.
If I need to tell anyone that all my opinions are my own and don't represent that of any other party, then they should also know that everything I say or ever said is a bad joke.
My beliefs are conflicting and I know that whatever I believe in is very likely not how things actually work.

US Top News and Analysis | Google races to put Gemini at the center of Android before Apple’s AI reboot
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Google is using its latest Android rollout to embed Gemini, its new AI model, throughout the phone, browser, car, and laptop, turning the operating system into an “intelligence system.” Ahead of the Google I/O developer conference, the company previewed Android updates that let Gemini understand screen context, move across apps, and complete multi‑step tasks such as building shopping carts, booking reservations, or generating a barbecue menu and adding ingredients to an Instacart list. The AI acts as an agent rather than a simple chatbot, but it always returns to the user for confirmation before finalizing actions, keeping the human “in the loop.” The features will debut on the latest Samsung Galaxy and Pixel devices this summer and later expand to watches, cars, glasses, and laptops, with Android Auto receiving a Gemini‑powered redesign that includes a major maps update and in‑car task assistance. Google hopes this deeper AI integration will help it compete with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Apple’s upcoming “Apple Intelligence” initiative while maintaining user control over what Gemini can see and do.

New story alert! I finished something up for @CodexArcene. 🤍
This is just a soft, sweet, romantic story. The world needs more Twissy, let's be honest. It's also the last story in a prompt series that I wrote, which you can see when you open the link. It was called "Twelve Days of Prompts," and I absolutely loved writing it.
⸻Missy wants to learn how to paint. As usual, she's being difficult, and the Doctor is more than accommodating. Maybe all they've really needed is a bit of tenderness and understanding.
You can read "Beauty in the Inane" here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/81797361

@Stefan Bohacek @Blorbo Admin Chicken Yes, I wish more servers had this rule and enforced it.
Officially appointed moderators only go by the server's written rules, and they only enforce them against local users.
The HOA, on the other hand, have some rules in their heads. Everyone has different rules. And they enforce them against everyone, even regardless of where everyone actually is. Like, they attack Friendica users for allegedly misusing the CW field because they neither know that these users are not on Mastodon, much less where they actually are, nor that Mastodon's CW field has been an abstract field on Friendica for seven years longer than it has been a CW field on Mastodon.
This is part of what makes the Fediverse a minefield once your messages start reaching Mastodon.
I can't say that I'll stop being so overly careful with everything and putting such a big effort particulary into image descriptions, summaries/content warnings and hashtags for filter-triggering purposes if more or even most Mastodon servers adopt and enforce this rule. The irony is that this rule actually protects my long hashtag lines.
In fact, rules like these also ought to include that nobody must be policed for writing "too long" posts because there are places in the Fediverse that neither have character limits to worry about nor a character-limiting culture.

#PennedPossibilities 1013 — MC POV: Have you ever lived in another country / place besides where you were born? Would you want to?
[Bolt:] Okay. figured ya didn't mean in the country, a different country area other than where I was born, so I had to look it up, then had to ask someone. A pretty-out there question, this one! Learnt there're a few autonomous regions that get to have different customs, different laws, and different money systems, but there's no other place completely, separately ruled by anyone other than Rainy Days. There's a reason why her title is Director of Home (our world) and the Nine Outer Worlds (because there are nine others, but none like home). Now that I've learnt that "Nine Outer Worlds" actually means nine other places beyond the stars that people live and ya can walk through an Interstellar gateway to go there, I'd like to walk through one of them daemon-worked miracle gateways, to see a sky different from ours, at least once. Since Boss Mead's syndicate doesn't extend beyond Home City, I probably won't be allowed, though.
[Bolt's a bit of a country bumpkin who ended up in the big city against her will. But she's right, there are no nation states, and though Rainy Days delegates much of her authority, that sometimes backfires to the extent that wars break out (like the one she started in Reluctant Moon), she technically rules ten worlds, mostly colonies on Mars-like worlds where people live under domes, and two hollowed out asteroids. The Dragon world is large enough that it has a breathable atmosphere, but it's hellish.—RS]

[Bolt:] Okay. figured ya didn't mean in the country, a different country area other than where I was born, so I had to look it up, then had to ask someone. A pretty-out there question, this one! Learnt there're a few autonomous regions that get to have different customs, different laws, and different money systems, but there's no other place completely, separately ruled by anyone other than Rainy Days.
