So the evil mega corp gets a free pass while the Internet Archive regularly has to fight for open access to knowledge. Fuck that and fuck Meta.

Microsoft is an abusive ex. It will keep abusing you because it knows no other way. You can waste your days trying to fight against it, trying to figure out how to disable and remove whatever new privacy invasive anti-consumer bloat Microsoft decides to roll out that Tuesday.
Or you can leave and switch to Linux and waste time there instead. Tux is all about that respect and is handsome to boot. He might be a bit sensitive and break down rarely so you might need to spare a few to make sure he’s ok, but it’s nothing a little love can’t handle. And he’s only going to get better and stronger as he grows. You might even look forward to receiving updates (wow, I know). A stark contrast from your abusive ex.

Ads have definitely added more load on electrical grids in aggregate than locally hosted and lightweight models, especially given that ads are fucking everywhere all the time. Websites, apps, the servers, even 24/7 electric billboards. I’m not worried about a few nerds using slightly more electricity sometimes for their own benefit and joy (it’s still less power than gaming), as opposed to a corp that burns through power and breaks their climate pledges (Microsoft) for the benefit of their bottom line and nothing else. Corps don’t get to have a monopoly on AI that was built with our data, only to have it fed back to us to pull more data and siphon more money.
So basically fuck Google and fuck ads.
You mean you didn’t enjoy sending giants flying?
So… Mastodon integration instead I hope?
Pretty sure they already said it would be opt-in. This is just planned damage control. The fools have already shown their hand. Again.
The Ad Algorithm
It knows when you are sleeping It knows when you’re awake It knows when you’ve been bad or good So consume for goodness sake
Fuck this.
Hahaha thanks. I like being extra and colorful like this. It’s a good release in more ways than one
I’ve gone off the FOSS deep end so it doesn’t stop when I see Windows used in the wild.
The longer I’m here, the more I recoil at the sight of people using products from Google so casually and thoughtlessly.
I’ll feel visceral disgust when I see the soulless, dystopian corporate logos of Xitter, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc that wormed their way into a universal presence on social footers of websites or promotional emails or search engines… and everyone’s locked down devices, sucking up troves of data to map who you are, were, and will be. Even McFuckingDonalds has a clause in a policy saying they’ll measure your intelligence.
The greater the intersect between emotions felt while enjoying a cautionary fictional cyberpunk tale and those felt while experiencing reality… well, anyway you get the idea.
Tldr I need a hug from a penguin or cocaine from a bear or something holy shit
You, reader, go. Hug a penguin. Spread love to the world. Believe in the change you want to see. Be good to each other. And don’t let anyone or anything take who you are, were, or can be away from you, be it a corp, a government, or a bad day.
Have a good day
He’s not even the FCC chairman anymore but this news still makes me want to punch Ajit Pai in the face.
I hate that Pixelfed isn’t good enough to capture these users and I say this as someone who uses it over Instagram.
From the what I’ve seen (and I have been watching fairly closely), I think Pixelfed and the stretched-too-thin-can’t-prioritize-and-somewhat-monarchial dev himself might just need more time to cook. I still have hope in him and his projects but I won’t be holding my breath again. If good shit happens, it happens. And I do hope it happens because it should’ve been Pixelfed in this article like Mastodon was with Twitter or Lemmy with Reddit. Not whatever this new corp that came out of nowhere is.

I choose to privately self-host open source AI models and stuff on Linux. It’s almost like technology is a tool and corps are the ones fucking things up. Hmmm, imagine that.
I’m so fucking tired…
Guess I’ll delete my PayPal account.
If consent mattered, governments and corporations all around the world wouldn’t be pushing to expand the global surveillance apparatus.
Is this just another Tuesday now? Fuck me.
Yay, crimes against humanity!
Yahoo is just Bing, like most search engines.
Ads with a chance of rain
