Is there like a primer or website where someone has posted how to disable the bullshit AI that’s now integrated into ALL the applications I used to love to use? Like ‘here is how to disable Gemini for Google, and here for copilot in word, and …’? And I mean REALLY disable not temporarily?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA, just heard on Bloomberg radio that BLS didn’t have data on a bunch of categories so they just put a zero for each of those which radically lowered the CPI score. Wish I could do that for a few holes of each golf round I’d be a scratch golfer! 🤡
FITCH on CPI:
".. positive news overall, but the lack of detail and the absence of data collection during the shutdown introduce a degree of skepticism that’s hard to ignore. We’ll need to wait until next month for a clearer read .. Tariff passthrough remains muted, even as companies stocked up .."

One of the Oracle (ORCL) Stargate data centers in Michigan doesn't have financing after Blue Owl (OWL) pulled out. Increasing signals that capital is starting to turn away from the sector having gorged for the past year.

Gotta say it's mindblowing to me that the Brown shooter is still at large and they don't even seem to have identified who they're looking for.

NBC Nightly News is just a series of ‘watch this car crash’ or ‘bad weather here’ or ‘here’s someone punching someone else’. Since when did our ‘national’ news become glorified local news at best? Like there’s a LOT of bad shit happening everywhere @nbcnews.com and THIS is what you focus on?!!

There are SO MANY other ways to effectively fight the the fucking right than screaming into the social media void and making yourself feel as awful as these dickheads actually are. They want to exhaust you here so you feel helpless everywhere else. Fuck them. Conserve your joy, online and off.

Social media is supposed to be YOUR social media. Curate it how you see fit, preferably for your own edification.
You don't owe me an audience, and you damn sure don't owe Elon your eyeballs to monetize either.
There's no moral imperative go out of your way to deal with dickheads.

Apropos to a post I'm not going to quote: no, you are not fucking obliged to battle the fucking right on fucking social media, or go to where they are. Why make yourself miserable shouting at bots (who don't care) or trolls (who get off on your misery). Make your fucking social media enjoyable, FFS.

Why TF should Ukraine withdraw from territory THAT RUSSIA HASN’T GAINED in 3.5 years of their criminal goddamn delusional war?!
🇺🇦🇺🇸 Ukraine's key "red line" in negotiations with the US is the withdrawal of troops from Donbas, - Bild.
Zelenskyy is ready to discuss abandoning NATO membership, holding elections on a shortened timeline, and freezing the frontline.

I’ve seen many liberal, pro-science people leave X for Bluesky, but go back to Twitter because their only reason for existing was yelling at people on the internet. They couldn’t function here.
The reason I left X was to get away from the flood of that hitting my feed. Much happier here.
