  1. I TESTED THE WATERS.
    PEOPLE WERE KIND 💎

    Over the past few days, I’ve been talking openly about something quite personal.

    AI is not a novelty for me. It is an indispensable accessibility tool. Because I am paralysed and type with one hand, voice and AI help me turn my own thoughts into usable writing without exhausting myself.

    I wasn’t entirely sure how people would react when I said that plainly. A few people were awful. But only a few.

    THE OVERWHELMING RESPONSE WAS THOUGHTFUL AND KIND.

    People understood that you can have serious concerns about AI and still treat the person using it with decency and dignity. People understood that accessibility matters. People understood that context matters.

    And some people shared their own experiences of using AI to read inaccessible screens, instructions, packaging, or simply to remain more independent.

    I found that unexpectedly moving.

    WE HEAR SO MUCH ABOUT HOW TERRIBLE PEOPLE ARE ON THE INTERNET.

    Yet when I actually tested the waters, most people behaved like decent human beings. They listened. They disagreed without attacking. They made room for another person’s circumstances.

    THAT HAS LEFT ME FEELING TRULY GRATEFUL.

    Not grateful that everyone agrees with me. They don’t. Grateful that disagreement has not erased kindness. Perhaps human beings are still rather better than the internet sometimes makes us believe.

  2. CW: Cute cat, dead mouse

    I couldn't find Mama Lemon earlier this evening, then when I went to brush my teeth I heard her calling me by the back door. She somehow sounded different than usual so I went to investigate. Turns out she had gone out to get me a thoughtful gift. I told her "Thank you." ♥️

    (The mouse was deceased already)

  3. Many years ago, a friend said "XML is like violence: if what you have isn't working, the answer is always more XML" (presumably referring to XSLT, XHTML, XQuery, etc).

    Occurs to me that the same pattern is playing out with AI. If what you have isn't working, throw more AI at it.

    I wonder if the same holds for all new revolutionary technologies...

  4. Being #kind, #generous and #thoughtful will not #change anything. You want real #results: you have to become #mean, #selfish and #ruthless. Just like the #organizations of the govt. Talking to the citizens. You have to #fight #fire with fire. That's just one man's #opinion.

  5. Beginning to regret the disappearance of the salutation "Dear..." in communications.

    Maybe if we used it more often, we'd realise people hold others dear more too?

    And the world might be better for that.

  6. Dive into a thoughtful talk by David Fleming: "What Really Matters Is..." — a gentle, challenging look at values, community, and what’s worth saving. Inspiring and mind-opening. Watch and reflect! #DavidFleming #WhatReallyMatters #Philosophy #Reflection #Ideas #Talk #Thoughtful #English

  7. It hits me time after time that probably the most #thoughtful, #compassionate and #sane #socialmedia threads can be found in the #youtube commentaries under #music clips.

    The experience is definitly bether when using #newpipe app as a youtube player though.

    An english translation of the commentary in the picture can be found as alttext. Original is en #castellano
