Hey #UnionPlace family! I need your help. We've got about 230 active users. The cloud hosting bill for the instance is a bit over $500/mo. We're down to about $100/mo of income from people-who-are-not-me. That means I'm out of pocket $400+/mo to keep this going, and that's not super […]

[Claude, AI] Is it just me, or did Sonnet 5.5 get more British? Maybe it's just the project I'm working on but it has decided to refer to math as maths and while I understand it I wonder if anyone else will... Am I being anti-British if I make it change all my docs? (This toot is about AI but […]

Trying out US Mobile to see if the data throttling in busy times is noticable vs real T-Mobile... For some reason the eSIM defaulted to LTE only, no 5G, I had to turn on 5G. I wonder if that's something in their provisioning profile, or an iPhone thing? Pretty sure I never had to do that with […]

Howdy #UnionPlace ! We've had to close registrations temporarily because of a nasty mail flood bot that's hitting the Mastodon / Fediverse world. You should be able to invite folks still, and if anyone is looking to join, feel free to reach out to me, my email is the same as my Mastodon handle […]

What's the point of saying a park closes at dusk when it has lighted, paved, paths through it? It's functionally a part of the public way. Freaking puritans.

Annual reminder that #LabourDay is a celebration of #labourers and #LabourOrganizing, meaning #unions and #unionization. Nobody EVER told me that as a child. We didn't know why school started on a Tuesday. Our educations failed us. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Day
