People donโ€™t understand that stripping the guardrails of regulation and oversight doesnโ€™t just apply to like better business bureau type shit but also like on a practical level when I get into an elevator I expect that it has passed a safety inspection & that type of security will be gone soon

christmas has gotten so far from its religious roots, wish we could celebrate our holidays like medieval christians (cross-dressing, being told by the bishop to stop cross-dressing, resolutely refusing to stop cross-dressing, threatening the bishop in defense of cross-dressing)

For people unaware and playing/streaming Where Winds Meet, it uses GenAI for NPC chat bots, and let's you import a photo of yourself and a voice clip for character creation, which I'm sure I don't need to explain why that is fucked up

And no AI disclosure on Steam ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Can you imagine 50 people a day, I said 50 people a day, walking into an ICE office, singing "You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant" and walking out?

Scarleteen does incredible, necessary work on a shoestring budget. Theyโ€™re raising money for a fund to help their brilliant volunteers pay for healthcare. Please help them out by kicking in what you can. Theyโ€™re an unparalleled resource for teens and young people figuring out sex and relationships.

I'm enjoying the freakout over on XTwitter about geographical locations being exposed...it's exposing some literary scammers as well. Here's "literary agent" Joyce Momoa, about whom I get occasional inquiries.

irritatingly, the list of Al settings in Firefox has grown. to kill them all as of today (Nov 20, 2026), go into about:config and set all of these to false (yes, you'll have to copy and paste them one by one):
browser.ml.enable
browser.ml.chat.enabled
browser.ml.chat.menu
browser.ml.chat.page
โ€ข
browser.ml.chat.page.footerBadge
โ€ข
browser.ml.chat.page.menuBadge
browser.ml.link Preview.enabled
browser.ml.pageAssist.enabled
browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled
browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled
extensions.ml.enabled
browser.search.visualSearch.featureGate
in addition to nuking Al, it'll also speed up your browsing

Oh yeah btw the reason why Vine is being relaunched with great fanfare and no Al is because it's jointly operated with an Al company and they probably don;t want to pollute their scrap pile with stuff they've already shat out.
