I know on at least two occasions I've boosted a post without alt-text while using a UI that didn't warn me first. In both instances, a follower kindly DM'd me and I quickly unboosted the toot.

I've also boosted a post after skimming the linked article, but missed a part that was misquoted in the post. Again, someone pointed it out and I unboosted the article.

I also once commented positively on an AI-generated image that I thought was real. Several people were quick to poke me for that one. I edited my comment to reflect my thoughts on AI misinformation posing as real photos 🤬

I'm sure I've made other mistakes roo, which is why attention to detail is so important.

Hey Fedi!

Despite my best efforts, I'm a flawed person, like any other.

Just something to keep in mind.

I (almost) always toot publicly, because I think sunlight is one of the best disinfectants. So, if you see me make a mistake, such as boosting or saying something incorrect, or coming across like a jerk about something, please call me out (gently if possible ), so I can do better.

I watched a video last night about out of touch celebrities, and while I only have a tiny fraction of their reach, I think it's good to remind myself about the dangers of thinking that people's interest in my opinions correlates in any way with their truthiness.

@divVerent obligatory "I don't endorse support Trump supporters or their associates, and to the best of my knowledge, LPL is one of those."

@sarae it's black with HoloTaco unicorn glitter on top.

@faraiwe no paws

@simonzerafa not yet, but I'm going to try for it now that I know I can beat the record.

@drwho yup. I'm going to try for 9 locks in under a minute.

@eruonna crazy, right? If anyone was going to be the first to that record, I figured it'd be me.

@Haikyoneko

@theorangetheme meee too!

@AdamF black.

@Haikyoneko none! Can you believe it?

I just beat the Guinness world record for speed-picking by 4 seconds!

Single-pin-picking, 8 differently-keyed, 4-pin, standard¹ padlocks, in 56 seconds.

And I did it while wearing a fluffy bear suit.

¹ the current record holder used laminated Master locks with no security pins, but I didn't want all the comments on my video to be "Master lock sucks" jokes, so I used Brinks instead.

@w_b sure! That one is Leo (on account that it used to have a blue band and googly eyes—like Leonardo from TMNT.

@pentup

@Sempf feel free to show the video, just please do so with a link back to me here.

@piggo it's from the 1870s, so vibrators weren't as big a threat back then.

Given its age, it still works incredibly well (unlike me).

@recursive "I have avoided, and shall continue to avoid the treatment of women by percussion, simply because I do not wish to be hoodwinked, and help to mislead others, by the vagaries of the hysterical state."

What a guy...

@rallias well, the steam power would be converted to rotational force that would be used to spin an off-center weight within a separate part of the unit.
