  1. There may be a #Sucker born every minute, but there's about 10 born every second that are #Lazy. There is nothing that you can't learn. Even without #AI. The first time I wrote a book about ending #homelessness, I had no AI and I wrote 80,000 meaningful words and published it in 48 days.

  3. #TIL: The term ‘to suck’ is not #vulgar!

    I always assumed that ‘to suck’ in the connotation of ‘to be bad’, ‘to be mediocre’ etc had a sexual origin, namely that ‘He sucks!’ was originally short for ‘He sucks dicks!’

    Nope, it’s totally harmless: it comes from sucking milk as a baby. If you are a #sucker or suck at something you are simply as naïve or inexperienced as a baby. 🤯

    "What's this?"

    "Sucker soap."

    "Sucker soap? What is it for?"

    "For washing suckers, of course."

    "Ah."

  6. "America's tech giants' #margins are now everyone else's #opportunity. The trillions that US tech companies extract could be someone else's billions – all they'd have to do is offer the #interoperable goods and services that disenshittify America's tech products. They could sell the tools that let anyone in the world use independent #appstores, or fix their cars and tractors, and put generic ink in their printers. A year ago, no country could afford to allow a company headquartered in its borders to get into this business, lest they be clobbered with tariffs. Today, any country that isn't thinking about this is a #sucker that will end up buying these tools from another country that gets there first."

  11. A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

    Dupes indeed are many: but, of all dupes, there is none so fatally situated as he who lives in undue terror of being duped.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    Lecture (1840-05-22), “The Hero as King,” Home House, Portman Square, London

  12. Neuling hier zieht Resümee des ersten #did #dut :

    Bin (schon am 22.12.25) :mastodon: beigetreten, obwohl ich nachweislich niemals auf "X" oder "twitter" war. Aktivitäten auf #Sucker-Berg Netzwerken werden dafür herunter gefahren, bald ganz eingestellt.
    Nutze #signal statt #whatsapp (seit 01.01. quasi ausschließlich). Letzteres wird abgestellt, sobald letzes Familienmitglied es auch checkt und wechselt.
    Habe #wero aktiviert und werde zunehmend #paypal ersetzen.
    Dutgemacht?

  14. BREAKING: Netanyahu just announced the “We’re Kissing Trump’s Ass Because We Want Free Weapons To Attack Iran” award.

    In unrelated news, Trump once again thought he received a legit award because somebody actually respects him.

  17. Ohhhhh they got me! I saw a Discord message that said Light (as in Lightphone) had been acquired by Apple. I was about to hit "Send" on my enraged post, and then I remembered what day it is.

  18. Delivery

    The last time I bought something form guitar center’s website they gave me a delivery date, told me the package was out for delivery, and then didn’t deliver it. They did this two or three days in a row. When it finally arrived they had failed to pack the power cable and when I complained they asked why I needed it… it was a guitar amplifier… was I supposed to use it without power?

    I had forgotten about all of that when, this weekend, I ordered a pedal from guitar center’s website. Today is the delivery day. It has been showing as out for delivery since 9:36am. The estimated delivery time says it should arrive between 11:30am and 2:30pm. It is now 2:47 and it has not been delivered yet.

    Yeah, I should have known better. I’m never getting that (relatively) cheap little digital reverb pedal, am I. I’m an idiot. Just call me sucker.

    ADDENDUM: I got an email notification saying the package was delivered. I guess all it took was me complaining about it on the internet. Heh, as if.

  19. As befits any professing #Nazi who is self-respecting, #ElonMusk is just doubling down on his #threats and #insults against all democratic parties in #Germany. Again.

    And, matching this, our @Bundesregierung are total chicken who won't even react, especially not fight this #sucker (best where it really hurts him).

    Closing in on coming to a point where I prefer not to know why all this is happening the way it is.

    😔

  20. @Frau_Sofa

    😂🤣😅

    The #sucker #ElonMusk shadowbanned me on #Twitter but his stupid #AI there can still read & evaluate my posts.

    What a complete #moron.

    👍

  21. Halli hallo, @Bundesregierung, setzt den #sucker doch auch mal einfach fest wenn er aus seinem Privatflieger steigt um seine Fabrik zu besichtigen.

    Da gäbs bestimmt ne Menge interessanter Fragen zu besprechen.

    Aber ich mach mir da natürlich keine Hoffnungen. Ihr seid #chicken. 🐔🐔🐥

  22. Deep in the "why am I doing this" phase of moving. We might be coming to the end (or at least the middle) of my academic nomad career. Pretty sure I've said that multiple times in the past though...

  23. I would say welcome to the club 2 scoops, but I got a full pardon in 98 so I'm not a convicted felon anymore.
