Writing my mother’s obituary a few years ago was very difficult. But it helped me shine a light on the many happy & sometimes #SISU parts of her life. She was more than the dementia the last 8.5 years of her life.

DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. 
The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. 
While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material.

As someone with multiple disabilities (including visual) Why I don't always use alt-text for images. I have my computer screen @ 125% or 150%. But if you click on alt-text if you try to scroll down in order put in alt text, it takes the user out of the alt-text. FWIW.

Image from webcomic xkcd. A drawing of a stick figure at a computer. A person not seen asks "You are coming to bed?" The person at the computer says "I can't. This is important." Reply "What?" Person at the computer says "Someone is wrong on the internet."

Keep sciencing. We are living through a time when looking at a rock and wondering how old it is qualifies as an act of resistance.
