Since it's clear I don't own anything digital I buy, it's time to go back to physical media. For my birthday, I've bought a "dumb" 6-in-1 record player combo and I'm replacing my old physical collection. I'll rip copies to my own computer and burn them to physical media if I have to.

I would not, could not, in my docs
Please get out of Firefox
I would not, could not, on the phone
Please just leave my calls alone
I will not, will not, even free
LLMs, just leave me be!
I do not like your AI slop
I do not want this worthless glop
I do not read its overviews
I don't care what Grok says is true
I do not like it here nor there
I'm tired of it everywhere

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

Speaking of things that were trendy despite being basically poison and got shoehorned in where they were unwanted and unneeded during the 20's, one of my local friends has begun referring to genAI as "radium"

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you’re on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt.

Nobody asked for a revival of Vine, but don’t use the revival, since it’s going to be scraped for AI training.

The “No AI on diVine” rule is just there to ensure it’s fed real content and not more AI slop.
Finding out the it'll likely be used to train AI required a little deeper digging.
The articles on this app mention Nostr, but when you look up Nostr...

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

I’m so tired. I know it goes without saying but this shit needs to stop.
A Black cosplayer named ash squidkid passed recently due to anti Black harassment.

They were constantly bullied and it became too much.

This is why the anime community sucks.

Its why its very hard to support any of it when creators and participants practice racism towards consumers that are Black
