I deleted (not deactivated) my account back in 2014. In 2022 I tried logging in and found my profile exactly as I left it, nothing gone...

I would watch the cybernetic olympics.

I've been thinking about this in the context of research project applications, which often have to be dozens of pages long and every sentence perfectly formulated to show we are competent and tick all the boxes. Now we can just have AI do it. I'm waiting patiently for people to realize this and start an era of post-perfectionism.

I want my applications to be like this:

"So we've published some papers in clay chemistry now [1-4], and lots of things have been done by others lately [5,6], so i was thinking i could work together with Mike Hunt over at University of Stoneworthingtonham to expand those ideas and also see what happens when you put the clay in an oven. Could we get some cash for that?"

(Instead of putting the same thing into an AI and have it write it professionally)

Ah, I recognize their cool flag from my vexillology days. 🤓

If everyone agreed to move, there would be no problem (as long as the Fediverse can accomodate everyone).

There's precedent. There was a myriad of social media sites Worldwide at some point. Then in a few years everyone "agreed" to move to Facebook. There are stories of how they aggressively took over markets, but at the end of the day I supposed they had the technically best site. And after over a decade of decay, people are still stuck.

That's quite a sensible regulation. You'll more often hear about what things China doesn't regulate, so I'm glad to hear of a pro-consumer law coming into effect.

The hats from the article are not the same type of hats though. They resemble the Canadian toque, I suppose, or in Norway, "lue". Similarly we would call the MAGA dome + sun shade kind of hat "caps".
