When you "break" the anti-AI software I have on my website that does not illustrate that the software doesn't work well enough: It shows that you are someone who explicitly circumvents people's stated values, preferences and borders. You are an abuser.It's a test about how you treat other people, whether you respect their dignity. And you failed.

From the PBS article:"First, fluency is not accuracy. People naturally read a confident and well-articulated answer as competent. But how polished an answer sounds tells you almost nothing about whether it fits your situation or the accuracy of the proposed solution. A chatbot can be word-perfect and still be wrong about your taxes, because your taxes depend on details it never asked about."(Boy, some humans definitely have a problem... say it with confidence and some people will believe you are right, even if you don't know a single thing. I guess that's how we have ended up at this place in US history. AIs just exploit this via software, instead of some guy in a suit and too much cologne and slicked back hair... )#AI

Did you know? If you want to _mention_ a hashtag like #lichenSubscribe, but you don't want followers of that hashtag to be alerted to your post (because it isn't actually about lichen) you can set the post's “visibility” to “quiet public”?It will still be visible to everyone, including your own followers as usual, it just won't alert strangers who are following the hashtag and it won't show up in searches for that hashtag.

I miss being able to uplook information. Jesus the internet is all dreck now.I just saw a character in a movie talk about "walking against the wind shit". I'm watching The Crow from '93 and there is a short called 'Walking Against the Wind', but it's from 2013, so both have to be referencing the same thing. I don't know what that is, and I got addicted to being able to track down facts decades ago. Anybody know what that means?

It's important that you actually own the products you purchase. Companies are making it harder to fix things, and are even taking away digital media you purchase. You can learn how to fight back with our livestream on July 23: https://eff.org/livestream-r2r

Another British leftist misjudgement is arguing with gammon types and using the point that "Well, we fought against fascism in the Second World War!" Honestly, these people don't give a shit, because they don't perceive it that way; they almost always talk about fighting "Germany," not "Nazi Germany." They're actually quite alright with fascism, as long as it's wrapped in the Butcher's Apron.
