So if you're using Proton thinking it's "privacy-focused", it turns out they're giving data to the Feebs now. https://www.404media.co/proton-mail-helped-fbi-unmask-anonymous-stop-cop-city-protestor/
One of the things that grinds my fuckin' gears the most about "AI" boosters is how much they chastise the rest of us for "refusing to engage".
I am not refusing to engage! When i yell at the top of my lungs about how shitty and destructive this shit is, i am engaging! This is what engaging looks like, because every new technology is first and foremost a site of struggle!
What the cultists are trying to insist we do isn't "engage", it's "concede".
ngl, one reason i am not going to start using LLMs (besides all the other reasons) is that literally everyone i've ever encountered who goes all-in on slopcoding ends up talking like a fucking cult evangelist about them, and i'm not interested in becoming a fucking cult evangelist.
like even the (very) few slopcoders that i actually still like and mostly respect: i don't think y'all understand how incredibly fucking creepy you sound all the time!

I want all of these fucking companies fined or sued into bankruptcy, tbh, and the earth salted. And ideally all their C-levels [REDACTED].

@PhoenixSerenity@beige.party @forestine@sunny.garden Speaking as a mod on a Fedi instance, please, if you have the energy, report those shitheads and make sure to forward the reports to the originating server (it's a checkbox). If anyone on Treehouse is doing that shit they will be banned instantly.

@ClimateJenny @ChristineMalec It is, but the slopbots scrape any text you put on the internet. Now, mind you, it's kind of pointless to have this be your protest method, since they're also scraping your actual POSTS. The solution is to just not post images at all, or just not post, period, rather than to fuck over disabled people.

They hate the specter of Drug Addicts so badly that they just make millions of people mildly unhappy every single day to prevent people from crushing up their … trazodone. And modafinil. (Those being the two meds i'm personally complaing about here.)

@subtl@aus.social @MisterSmith@mastodon.social @cmccullough@polymaths.social Vivaldi is fantastic and very privacy-focused

@nyquildotorg@gts.nyquil.org RIGHT??? he has ALWAYS been a scumbag!!
Do i know anyone who (a) lives in Vancouver or the Lower Mainland, (b) has a vehicle, and (c) has some availability to help us out during business hours next week? As i posted the other day, someone hit my partner and totaled our car last week, and we really need to go get our stuff out of it.

One of my favorite tricks! It's a container format; you can just shove whatever in there!

@atax1a uuuuggghhhhhhh does that mean i need to stop using the service/API? is it getting slop-infested?
Replying to
@groxx @shibacomputer @Mer__edith (And it still isn't completely shifted to usernames; it still requires you to have a phone number and to reveal that phone number to Signal in order to do initial setup. Which is still fucking unacceptable. If you have the option, use Threema instead.)
Folks, we're doing a little better than last month (sort of), but we're still about $400USD short on rent. If you can help, CashApp $AdrienneLeigh or PayPal https://paypal.me/utilitarienne . If you want a Tarot reading, send at least $25 (3-card) or $50 (10-card) and DM me!
Replying to
@PavelASamsonov@mastodon.social @jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io Same. Probably they pushed slopcode to prod again, lol
Folks, i need to raise $580 by the 30th to pay a credit card bill so it doesn't get sent to collections (which i really, really do not want, for a lot of reasons). Please help if you can! PayPal is https://paypal.me/utilitarienne or CashApp is $AdrienneLeigh
I also have Wise! It's adrienneleight

@WideEyedCurious@mstdn.social @dtanzer@social.devteams.at @davidgerard@circumstances.run @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net Same with Firefox, which ALSO added a bunch of "AI" bullshit without so much as an opt-out originally! All these companies are shit. I'm glad Vivaldi is, so far, being principled, bc i've used them for years now.
Replying to
@dtanzer@social.devteams.at @davidgerard@circumstances.run @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net 💯 I already use Vivaldi as my daily driver. I do, however, have to keep Chrome on my machine, because i sometimes need it for testing.
Replying to
@distractal@hachyderm.io I think there's pretty clearly some similar neurological pathways involved, at the very least, yeah.
Folks! I actually have rent money this month! And a part-time gig starting in April that should at least help us start to get back on an even keel financially. HOWEVER, my dearest friend still needs money for taxes, AND i have a credit card bill i've been ignoring for two months and they are starting to call me and yell at me about it. So if you have a few bucks to spare, please help me, my partner, and my dear friend all get back on our feet. CashApp is $AdrienneLeigh, PayPal is https://paypal.me/utilitarienne and if you're in Europe i also have Wise: https://wise.com/pay/me/adrienneleight

I am in exactly the same position (except that my RBF is not of Eastern European origin)!

@0x2ba22e11@unstable.systems @rancidrabbit@anarchism.space @aphyr@woof.group ...in general, yes, but note that i'm running into an edge case with that recently on a client site (it looks like iOS browsers sometimes fall back to it for some reason?)

@rk @ohmu @wcbdata i don't know anything about Posteo but apparently they firewall your payment data away from your account data somehow? So they might be an alternative. https://furry.engineer/@ysegrim/116181161858800673

@smolbrain @werawelt I"m not an infosec/privacy person but i'm asking folks who are what they are recommending.
Replying to
@wcbdata Which is fair but court orders can be fought. And at a minimum users can be warned.

@AthanSpod@social.linux.pizza @davidgerard@circumstances.run oh, hey, this is helpful (assuming folks have this access. Not everyone is going to.)
Replying to
@AthanSpod@social.linux.pizza @davidgerard@circumstances.run David, you may want to edit your post to add this, i reviewed the .reg file and it's solid.
Replying to
@futurebird@sauropods.win @davidgerard@circumstances.run Oh, that's just where Google puts all their experimental features that aren't launched yet. It's been there forever, and has often had useful stuff for devs to be able to experiment with. However, in the past, they've generally been disabled unless you explicitly enable them, whereas now apparently they're turning them on by default and forcing you to download 4GB of bullshit!

@emd We are in Langley. We need to be roundtripped from here to Vancouver and back, because the car was unfortunately in Vancouver at the time so it's at a tow lot there.

Replying to
@adriano@lile.cl @petealexharris@mastodon.scot No, but LLMs sure do make it easier. They launder responsibility, on top of everything else.
