Nice... I like that my new phone tracks what your AI usage is, and that every AI function in the OS is opt-in.

(my wife's and son's phones are the same, my daughter's... I don't know, because she rarely lets me look at her phone. I trust that she hasn't used […]

@billadler.bsky.social I use the best and most simple watches: 1. the sun. 2. if I need something more precise, the clock on the wall. 3. If there is none, the clock on my phone.

Your regular reminder to not share and spread unverified information just because you like it Yes, it's a known fact that Russia is behind a lot of Far Right propaganda and manipulation in Europe and beyond, but there's a graph circulating about far right traffic being down after a Russian data […]

@ploum Il faudrait des sources quand-même. Je veux dire, c'est pas un scoop que la Russie téléguide l'extrême droite un peu partout, mais ce graphique bien que plaisant sort un peu de nulle part.

@deivudesu True.

Dear myself: this is a gentle reminder that putting my phone next to the charger plug won't magically charge it.

Three yellow dots? I'm not proud (especially because it should only be two, but I overthought it)

@deivudesu Well, you won't have much to do on the plane, so...

@david.fediverse.setouchi.socialOct 11, 2026, 6:50 AM

@jannem Thanks. Yes, those proportions look more "normal."

@david.fediverse.setouchi.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:57 AM

@jannem Ah okay. It seemed way too narrow for its height. But maybe that's just the picture?

@david.fediverse.setouchi.socialOct 11, 2026, 1:22 AM

I don't know if I should laugh or cry when I see the LDP debating the sales tax cut... You're the ones who raised it in the first place and wrecked the economy even more, you morons... (but it was Abe who did it, and no one should speak ill of Saint Shinzo, and his grand-oeuvre, Abenomics that […]

It almost looks like the real Japanese countryside (you'd just need a rotten 80s car instead of a beetle)

Me looking at this picture: "This is insane, how could a ship so tall and so narrow sail? It seems that its center of gravity is a bit high isn't it?" Me reading about it in Wikipedia: "Oh... Oh well... 🤷‍♂️ "

So, if you're not following, a lot of people in the ATmosphere are attacking #WSocial because, well, they've been quite dishonest about a certain number of things (that they're a fork of Bluesky, for starters).
A couple of hours ago, one of the boss has gone full tinfoil hat, accusing us to be […]

Look, I even have a video:

(I rarely film "my" crows, simply because I don't want to dox myself by showing too much what the park and the houses around it look like, here, no such issue)

@david.fediverse.setouchi.socialOct 10, 2026, 1:46 PM

#CrowUpdate Nope, this is not Ms. Crow. This is not Mr. Crow either. No, not Junior.

This is the "crow-by-the-sea." As temperatures are not insane anymore, I walk more around my neighborhood during day time and look who's showing up again (after pretty much […]

The "crow by the sea" perched on a cable, looking at me. The sky is very blue.

Look what was in the mail today!!!

(Yes, "End Times Fascism" is a signed copy. I don't usually care about these things, but it was the same price, so, why not?)

#books

Two books: "End Times Fascism" by Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor, and "The Future of Truth" by Werner Herzog.
