I'm done. Bye, folks. See you on Mastodon - I'm @dave_andersen" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">hachyderm.io/@dave_andersen 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: @dave_andersen/113323703592842288" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">hachyderm.io/@dave_andersen… (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)

I will start tracking what papers people try to gank from us. So this one is available here after it gets removed from @ZENODO_ORG: db.cs.cmu.edu/files/fraud/Ex…

Here we go again! Two people in Pakistan *stole* @abigale_kim's MS thesis, put their names on it, and posted it on @ZENODO_ORG: zenodo.org/records/131331… We don't know nor have worked with them. They forgot to replace "thesis" with "paper" but at least they left us as co-authors...

Hi - I'm still mostly posting on mastodon, but I've also created a bsky account to be able to follow folks there. bsky.app/profile/davean… (mastodon: @dave_andersen" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">hachyderm.io/@dave_andersen ) Hope to see y'all at one of those two alternatives.

In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce a South African-American(!) businessman and social media figure, Elon Musk (@elonmusk). He's best-known for being the wealthiest man in the world, running Tesla Inc., SpaceX & Twitter, and for parroting Kremlin's propaganda narratives. 1/24

@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.)

@nope_its_lily Again with the false victimhood. I am not combative at all, I just disagree with some of your ideas and express that disagreement. You can block me or do whatever you want, wouldn’t expect more based on your reaction every time somebody says something you don’t like

@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.

If you're thinking like this, think twice. It's a dangerous anti-free speech narrative pushed from an imaginary moral higround. Essentially, it's censorship, the face of totalitarianism, and it leads to only one direction: tyranny and lies. Opinions must be allowed.

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. @dave_andersen" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">hachyderm.io/@dave_andersen

@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...

Part of me thinks Musk is just seeing how far he can push me before I give up. Next X will be renamed: The New York Yankees-Los Angeles Lakers Celebration Site of Awesomeness! That might do it, actually.

@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: @dave_andersen" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">hachyderm.io/@dave_andersen (now that we can actually link directly. ahem.)

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!

@dave_andersen Try this link: spacekaren.sucks/dlx9j

Over the last week, the discourse in my circles (mostly copied from my twitter follow/ers lists) on Mastodon has skyrocketed. It's quite amazing. Quite encourage trying it out. In tech circles, hachyderm dot io has been a very good server. Finding one with good filtering helps.

*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...

This next reply will undoubtedly be censored by Twitter for daring to link to *astodon, but the next tweet in this thread has a link to my profile there:

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"

I used to have a pinned thread with profiles on the elephant site where I'd move. Turns out it's no longer pinned, not through an action of mine.

@Michele_PhD_ tweetdelete.net You give it permission to access your account, and then when you're done, you come back to twitter.com/settings/apps_… to remove permission for it to access your account. Quite simple & easy.

@dave_andersen Is there a fast way to do this? Thanks!
