trying to switch off the AI bloatware that has been pinned to the top of every single menu in every single app

This is the most foreign my bedroom has ever felt to me. I keep staring at the fast empty center of the room, since I swapped the queen bed for a twin in the corner.

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

Attention friends! As a Cyber Sec Specialist, I feel a need to share this. If you receive an email from Ao3, alerting you to a password reset attempt, DO NOT click on the links! This is a scam to get you to provide your current password. Absolutely terrible. Safe cyber smart! #ao3 #scamalert

The calendar reminder on my phone this morning.

sounds like many people are canceling travel plans this november due to the government shutdown and decreased flights nationwide as a native american who does not celebrate thanksgiving, i humbly ask that you consider donating your cancelled travel costs to native organizations in your communities

After such a long and expensive kitten season, we are a little depleted and looking at a massive bill to get these kittens home to the little girls that love them so much. Times are so hard right now and we know everyone needs additional help, but if you can, please donate at linktr.ee/crits4cats

And here I sit, loosely stitched to the concept of time.

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

Judge rules George R.R. Martin and other authors can sue OpenAI for copyright infringement • Said ChatGPT generated 'Game of Thrones' content similar enough to infringe copyright • OpenAI’s motion to dismiss was denied

I never know what's going on and I'm not about to start now!!!

So it begins. I have officially started packing my estranged husband's personal effects. First the bathroom, then his books.

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

I didn't used to be grumpy. I was a pacifist, a calm and stable person who tried to meet everyone with understanding and patience. Now I just want to punch bigots in the crotch until they LEARN.

Remember when I came up with "buttons" to explain executive dysfunction just because I had an argument with my partner about getting things done? I made an entirely new series for ADHD Awareness Month explaining motivation & ADHD. Coming next week 👀✨

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

Vienna-born American Franz Felix only illustrated two erotic works – Pierre Louÿs’ Songs of Bilitis in 1928 and E. Powys Mathers’ anthology Eastern Love in 1930, but his stylish plates are a model of composition and the gently suggestive. See them now at honesterotica.com/illustrator/....

Out at the local fetish club for horror movie pub trivia and the table next to me is building a Lego set, as you do.

Wild idea. I think consumers should be able to opt out of sharing an electric grid with data centers. I had the choice to pay a little extra on my bill to use clean energy years ago. I opted in, and the difference was minimal. Yet I wasn't given any choice about propping up a water guzzling Ai mill

Currently at: — only buy tech too old to have AI built in — painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well — if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool — if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts — patiently wait for the crash

You see what I'm dealing with?

RIP

Don't mind me, just screaming into the void. All you had to do was not play the victim for 1 single solitary interaction and you couldn't even do that!

Different era and a throwback to 'get you a girl who can do both.'

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

Happy Rapture Day to all who celebrate 💋

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

It's the 12th anniversary of my divorce from my first husband being finalized, and today I finally told the marriage counselor for my current marriage that there's nothing else I can do, there's nothing good for me here.

In case anyone wants to turn off the auto hiding of posts/users labeled "rude" (a label for which Bluesky offers no insight as to how one receives it amd is being more and more applied to people in an obviously abusive fashion). Some of your favs may disappear from your feed because of this label.

I just found Settings > Privacy > Social Features / Messaging and shut that down

Genuinely sad now. Has anyone else seen The Education Of Little Tree?

Well, my marriage just ended. How's your day going?

Enhancing your creativity with AI is like preserving your virginity with a one-night stand.
