The Trump administration is planning to use artificial intelligence to write federal transportation regulations.I'm sure things will work out fine. Right? Right?
'Most of what goes into the preambles of DOT regulatory documents is just “word salad,” one staffer recalled the presenter saying. Google Gemini can do word salad.'

The Transportation Department, which oversees the safety of airplanes, cars and pipelines, plans to use Google Gemini to draft new regulations. “We don’t need the perfect rule,” said DOT’s top lawyer. “We want good enough.”Alex.Bandoni@propublica.org (ProPublica)

So, 2026
So on my third try of selling Vik's comic collection, and this one might happen, yay. That'll make some room, and once @RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist chooses any books he wants, that'll start going, and we'll get some space.
Its a little frustrating how much stuff there is to clear, but there's a story there. We had some low points in Phoenix, I'm undoubtedly somewhat to blame for that, I've never been great at sticking to a job, and I tend to create chaos. That said, I would work more if'n I could, sell off anything I could, I mean I really have never been attached to things, people, etc, particularly things since my bankruptcy, resulting in a house where maybe 20% of the stuff here is mine. Yeah, really, and that was before his mom passed, and he pulled in a lot of her stuff. Need to get someone from the family to come get a lot of this stuff, between just photos, quilts and her birds, I'll prolly have enough to fill a minivan
With that in mind, lots to sell here, and a great desire, a very great desire, to down size. Still considering the future, both location, likely Illinois, though there's a slim chance of Maryland, and likely building a house, maybe a tiny home, I mean I already know I don't need more than 900 sq ft, and could do as little as 600. An estate sale isn't really an option, companies like that really expect volume and/or stuff people want to buy... A few collectibles, no antiques, and Ikea furniture at best isn't really their thing. So, we'll be at the first three flea markets at Sunset Hills community center, those are... March, April and May I think, I've already paid for my spaces, but I do need to touch base as I haven't received an info packet or anything like that, but it might be too soon, we'll see.
So yeah, really clearing a lot out of here, not because I didn't love him, but because I need some space. Honestly, we were two train wrecks holding each other up, I started taking care of the finances because he just basically operated on a make and spend model, I made things work while he did what he wanted, on the other hand, I couldn't be trusted to stay at a job which didn't help, so he was the breadwinner.
I will say I'm loving this day and age, I do the type of work I like, without the constraints of a typical job, which fits my instability well. These days I basically do the same job as UPS, but using my phone, my car, and a gig app, and come and go as I please, if'n I get tired of deliveries, there's plenty of remote work out there. Or I'm thinking of getting a 3D printer and making things, find an artist so I can start a series of cryptid traffic signs, lots of ways to make money out there thanks to tech.

Gotta say that what catches my eye on this one is the QR code on her tit, its not like I haven't seen bar coded slaves in art or even occasionally in real life, but a QR is new, neat and very logical. For those not familiar with QR codes, they're what's know as two directional or 2D bar codes, and they can hold a lot more data than a normal linear bar code, in fact when they came out, it was claimed that a postage stamp sized QR code could hold the entire first paragraph of the US Constitution! Imagine, you could store all the pertinent data for a slave in a QR code or three, no database to be stolen, leaked or seized by the government, all the data you need is right there tattooed on the slave.

Pizza Pops E. coli recall grows as roughly a dozen products now hit
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has expanded a recall notice for some Pillsbury brand Pizza Pops products that may be contaminated with E. coli O26.Ariel Rabinovitch (Global News)
We knew this was coming, but now the clock is running. From Privacy International:"Yesterday the Trump Administration announced a proposed change in policy for travellers to the U.S. It applies to the powers of data collection by the Customs and Border Police (CBP)."
"If the proposed changes are adopted after the 60-day consultation, then millions of travellers to the U.S. will be forced to use a U.S. government mobile phone app, submit their social media from the last five years and email addresses used in the last ten years, including of family members. They’re also proposing the collection of DNA."
PI linked to and summarized a Federal Register entry describing the proposed requirements:
-All visitors must submit ‘their social media from the last 5 years’
-ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) applications will include ‘high value data fields’, ‘when feasible’
‘telephone numbers used in the last five years’
-‘email addresses used in the last ten years’
-‘family number telephone numbers (sic) used in the last five years’
-biometrics – face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris
-business telephone numbers used in the last five years
-business email addresses used in the last ten years.privacyinternational.org/news-…
The Federal Register entry says comments are encouraged and
must be submitted (no later than
February 9, 2026) to be assured of

We cannot speak for all Africans, but in various countries of Africa, we think it is fine, and we hope Europe copies USA. The reason is that we believe there is a brain drain and capital flight from Africa to the West. So this kind of thing the USA is doing will stop, or at least reduce it.
Moreover, China and South America (Brazil) plus BRICS+ countries are a better association for Africans.
In any case, even if Africans still want to study in USA universities, there is e-learning. That can be the case too for those who want European universities.
But overall, many in Africa think it is good for #Africa.

Wafrn love
Gotta say, as I expand into Wafrn... Spread like mold? I keep finding stuff I like, from being able to bite people, after all pokes are boring, or the barking and confetti when I woot, yes, woot not toot, and other cute things, then there's the little details...
Believe strongly in alt text?
Its default required in the settings, you have to go and turn it off, or your media posts won't send without having something in there.
Sharing links?
Sure, it sucks that you can't see the preview until after you post, but things like GoComics which never shows a thumbnail or synopsis here on Friendica works perfectly.
I think @gabboman the wafrn dev could prolly use some help on the project, but so far, what it does have works really nicely.

Oops
So, I've started migrating the people I follow over to my Wafrn account, @Chuff , following them there and unfollowing them here... And got into the B's and realized something, Wafrn doesn't give me any way to see my followers list nor migrate it far as I know which means I have no idea who I'm following over there.
Eh heh, heh, oops.
Well, no problem, just downloaded the list here, so at least I'll be able to recover the rest of them if needed, I do expect to switch to my own hosted Wafrn in the future if'n I'm lucky, poked one hosting service abotu it already even though I'm not remotely ready to do it.
Why my own?
To avoid some of the stupidities I've had to deal with on other people's instances, once got warned about not CW'd a picture of a cowtaur (cow person upper body, cow lower body), not because of sex, not because she was topless, but because you could see her udder. Yeah, that was the straw that broke my back and why I just have my own instance. Currently here I have... 5 accounts? Not sock puppets, this one, Admin, Recalls, Taurs and the newest, my porn account. Yeah, that's enough to justify my own instance.
#wafrn #FediHosting #migration
EDIT
Eww, that is one ugly and barely useful CSV file, only exports two things, user account names and whether I can see their posts or not. Following, follower or mutual status not included, nor is the profile name. Bleah.
