Booting Microsoft completely due to #AI bullshit moves.

#fedora, buddy, why do I download a 4gb iso for install then have to do 4gb of updates on first boot?

There's gotta be a more efficient way to do this.

In case you're not from 1995 The Internet I'd like to introduce you to a PC video game from LucasArts called The Dig, 16 bit so you'll be in DosBox emulator land but still, hell of a game which you can apparently play on the Way back machine;

Https://archive.org/details/TheDig_1020

This may be just a prequel version, I'll find a full copy. EDIT, okay it's on Steam.

Another reason to use any OS except #Windows:

“#Microsoft revealed a new AI-powered feature called "Recall" for Copilot+ PCs that will allow Windows 11 users to search and retrieve their past activities on their PC. To make it work, Recall records everything users do on their PC, including activities in apps, communications in live meetings, and websites visited for research.“ #privacy #tech

Good morning to everyone but especially Marquitrice Mangham, who opened a nonprofit community grocery store so people in Webb Mississippi wouldn't have to drive 15 miles for
fresh produce.

Nothing warms my heart more than another website picking up the idea "Detect Missing Ad-blocker" of https://stefanbohacek.com/project/detect-missing-adblocker-wordpress-plugin/ (after seeing it on mine in action).

#adblock

It's made for WordPress but the idea is so dead simple that it can be integrated in almost anything with some work (if nobody else did that work already :D)

Happy #TongueOutTuesday 😛
Dude left my lap briefly for his morning hydration.
I slept over 8 hrs according to my sleep study! So nice to be home & in my own bed.
I have a heartwarming story about my weekend. The 5 of us friends were going to dinner in one SUV on Sat evening. The back right tire made a pop sound. We safely pulled over. We could see a piece of metal embedded in the flat tire.
It wasn’t 10 minutes a young man pulled over and then another young man.
Cont…

Some kind of scraper made its way into our tire.

If you add "reddit" to the end of search terms so that you can find posts by a real person, I have bad news: AI is beginning to poison Reddit in an effort to game Google results

Any female-presenting person of a certain age who's taught long enough has had students absentmindedly call them "Mom."

Today, amid a rather frenetic last-day-before- the-draft's-due class period, one of my #PhlEd seniors looked right at me and, all unconsciously, said "Alexa, how do I cite..." before he heard his own words and froze in horror.

I just learned that Invidious can import all manner of data from #YouTube, such as your channel subscriptions.

Go to Google Takeout and just export the subscriptions and then import into #Invidious

Giving it a try -- takeout takes some time to export.

Aaasnd my Internet is out again. Sigh. Yes, I can use my iPhone. It’s fine. It’s my Mac that dies.

I'm with 'paw.

Not a single participant in a Trump-related case (or Hunter Biden's) has avoided life-altering threats. You can't do this to people serving their civic duty.

nycsouthpaw:

Another Lawfare editor has posted a thread—based on pool reports—compiling copious personal identifying information for all six seated jurors. It’s so dangerous, at least as I perceive the character of the #Trump movement, I don’t even want to link it. WTF are we doing?

New cover art just dropped! Commissioned from the legendary Galen Dara, A QUESTION OF NAVIGATION now has the spiffy space art I’ve always wanted! This sci-fi adventure is now available in ebook, audio narrated by Luke Daniels, and super shiny print. For easy snagging: https://books2read.com/u/3GP2VL

So, Microsoft is silently installing Copilot onto Windows Server 2022 systems and this is a disaster.

How can you push a tool that siphons data to a third party onto a security-critical system?

What privileges does it have upon install? Who thought this is a good idea? And most importantly, who needs this?

I'm still enjoying Seanan McGuire's October Daye series. In the fourth novel we learn more about her ancestry and abilities, but it is clear more revelations await in later books. Recommended.

Just throwing out before the eclipse consumes all life that Stewart and I co-wrote a quiet, unionpunk, platonic quiet fantasy novel and we haven't been able to sell it.

Yes, VPNs can make it seem like you’re browsing the internet from a different state, if that’s something you need. But it takes some work to find a VPN that’s legit. https://ssd.eff.org/module/choosing-vpn-thats-right-you

I'm not even bothering with this season of ST:DISCO. Every time I've tried a past season, I couldn't finish it. It breaks my heart, because I love the cast.

On the other hand, I adore ST:SNW to bits. I'm so ready for more of that.
