Why are there no dumb #electric #cars?
I love the potential #environment benefits but hate how everything is glass and touchscreens and apps.
It's a data #privacy and #security nightmare.

Is there a bot/plug-in that can block all other bots on #mastodon, at least for my personal use, mainly search?
Found the first #holocaust denier ever here on Mastodon.
Holy smokes, honestly didn't know they existed!

Not sure how accurate this is, I didn't fact check it. But it honestly wouldn't surprise me given the rather advanced behaviors I've seen from animals, especially elephants, in the past.

I keep thinking about the dynamic in #Hamilton the #musical
when Hamilton says to Burr
"If you stand for nothing, what will you fall for?"
It's good drama and a mic drop line and all, but is that statement substantive?
Do we always need to have a hard stand about everything?
Not knowing anything else about Burr outside the musical, wasn't he eventually vindicated by surviving and being elected as the Vice President?

Any #fediverse recommendations for image/file hosting?
Looking for a privacy respecting imgur equivalent.
We’re Outsourcing Our Self-Awareness to Silicon Valley

This kinda goes back to the problem that birdsite/bigblue seem to be trying to solve- how to customize your feed based on who you want to hear more from.
While their intentions are a bit more pernicious, I don't envy them here.
Some of the new folks I've followed are... interesting.
Like full on conspiracy theory nuts.
But I'd much rather follow them rather be stuck in my own ideological echo chamber.
If anything it makes me question, modify and sometimes even strengthen my own beliefs.

Enjoying my latest hobby
#microscopy
Learning, both the science and the instrument, is challenging but fun!
My best discovery so far was looking into a sample from my shower drain and finding tiny bugs crawling in it 🐛🥴
Needless to say I cleaned it next morning lol
