I'm done. Bye, folks. See you on Mastodon - I'm there. I won't be deleting my account here, but I've removed it from my phone and will not be interacting here further unless following links from others. Thanks for all the fish.

obligatory reminder that you can find me on m.a.stodon and b.l.uesky, but not here.

@andy_pavlo @ZENODO_ORG Their other work is AI-generated slop. I've followed up on this on mastodon with a few more tidbits: (Sorry, I won't post original content here any more, but I'm very happy to follow up on this with people either on m or on bsky)

Hi - I'm still mostly posting on mastodon, but I've also created a bsky account to be able to follow folks there. (mastodon: ) Hope to see y'all at one of those two alternatives.

@HumbertoAra2601 @nope_its_lily "I am not combative at all", he says, in a post littered with passive aggressive, exaggerated descriptions of someone else's behavior he doesn't like. (you're blocked. you probably won't see this. life is too short to interact with people like you - I'm posting this for others.)

@graninas You got called out for spreading bullshit, your post is still there for everyone to see, and you're claiming censorship? being disagreed with -is- free speech. You and Dr. Khlaaf both got to say your part. That's speech. You can't ask for it for yourself and not for others.

You can still block the jerks on Mastodon. I'm over there. The water's fine. The UI isn't as good but the tools keep improving.

@nope_its_lily I basically add beans/lentils/legume of choice to everything (*). It's almost a joke around our house, but it's an easy and (when appropriately matched) tasty way to add more protein and filling-ness to a meal. (*) ok not everything. But a lot of things.

@PhillipsPOBrien I've moved to Mastodon already and would love to see you there, but given that you're the only reason I visit Twitter (or whatever it's called) any more, I'll create an account any which place you migrate to...

@DanielleWenner My dentist has retained the HEPA filters but they're back to procedure masks now. Matt Feigel. I like them and felt comfortable given that it was only two people I was around. I believe my wife's dentist is HEPA + still in n95's. Gleason Family Dentistry.

Reminder - I'm spending my limited social media time over here now: (now that we can actually link directly. ahem.)

RT @joinmastodon: As a company from eastern Germany, we know that building a wall to try and keep people from leaving isn't a good idea.

@ccolohan I endorse this link. It correctly points to my profile on hachyderm. Thanks!

*laughs* I can't even post it. hachyderm dot io/@dave_andersen it will have to be for now. Replace dot in the expected way. Ridiculous. It's like someone fears a mass exodus. That link is harmful to Twitter's potential revenue, I guess...

Lol. Twitter has blocked my pinned post explaining that I've left Twitter and to find me on mas*odon. I'm there: hachyderm dot io/@dave_andersen (Replace dot with a period, of course) What a censorious prick.

@mihaimaruseac Ditto. Mine is visible to me only if I'm logged in but shows to others as "this tweet is unavailable"

@Michele_PhD_ You give it permission to access your account, and then when you're done, you come back to to remove permission for it to access your account. Quite simple & easy.
