if you ever get a large sum from comms, transfer it out ASAP if you don't autotransfer daily already

the less time your money spends in this limbo, the better

Please contact your senators about KOSA. This bill has amassed a lot of cosponsors.

We can beat this, but we need people to call, email and send letters en mass. Please try to contact your reps as often as you are able to and encourage people you know to join you!

That's cute and all but uh... No?

Don't fucking doxx yourself at a freaking protest against a sitting power abusing federal government!

God. Think for a second, people...

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors “With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

How to Turn Off AI Tools Like Gemini, Apple Intelligence, Copilot, and More via @ConsumerReports AI features are crowding into Google search, Gmail, iPhones, Windows laptops, and other products. If you're suffering from AI overload, these settings can help.

oooh. Bookmarking this! "How to turn off AI tools in Apple, Google, Microsoft, and more." Step-by-step instructions from Consumer Reports.

If the Dems can grow a backbone, they'd absolutely be using this agaist the Trump administration. Trump gasses babies would be such an easy point against him.

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

These petitions still have time to be signed!

#SaveSpeech

Canadians! The UK is attempting to push their own version of the Online Safety Act onto Canada via the bill S-209!

You need to contact your representatives in parliament and explain how this policy is catastrophically bad! Mention the discord data breach!

youtu.be/Qx_zi1hNTCI?...

I'm no economist, but I doubt investing all our funds into tech that's unreliable, unpopular, and unprofitable is a good strategy.

"Copilot, figure out what the fuck the point of you is?"

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

Remember when panels were the future? Remember how Kinect was the future? It's not like Microsoft has ever gone back on their own predictions, am I right!?

It's gonna hallucinate orders people never made, isn't it?

If you intend to keep using Windows, you can remove the "AI" garbage and telemetry with Windows 11 Debloat.

It also works on Windows 10, because Windows 10 ALSO has Copilot.

Tap the sign meme saying “Using AI ironically is still using AI.”

Don’t make me tap the sign.

"US back to it's old bullshit" would have also made a fitting headline.

Having gameplay or Family guy funnies isn't enough. You need both at the same time with a third panel for slime videos!

This.

The last thing you should be doing is putting your name on a protest list for this administration.

Show up anonymously if you're going to show up. Protect yourself.

Today's the last day if you haven't done so yet!

Nobody you haven't met needs to know your face, your clothing, your scars or tattoos, when you go to protest.

Wear long pants, long sleeves, leave jewelry and anything with a wifi, cellular, or Bluetooth at home. Change your height if possible. Don't leave behind gum or anything you drink from.

Be good. Be present. Be compassionate. Be a beacon.

Be you, loudly you, in whatever spaces you can, because you are who is needed, and being you is what is needed.

Just cancel your subscriptions and find another place for music and podcasts

Spotify is also running ICE recruitment ads so you have no excuse

you're already seeing & will see more stories about how various attempts at reducing energy use "aren't working," etc -- those are propaganda. this is fantastic

Agentic AI is a contradiction in terms here offering agency only to the wearer whilst riding roughshod over the consent of anyone in their vicinity.

Found myself on it too. Had to report it, of course. No blacklist that lies about its purpose should be staying up.

Using AI art to protest AI art is literally like burning down a forest to say that burning down a forest is bad.
