PSA: MalwareBytes has put out an update/mea culpa to the article of theirs that had been being passed around suggesting the gmail/workspaces "smart features" had changed to allow Gemini access and train off your mail stuff. It was particularly […]

[Original post on social.treehouse.systems]
Update November 22. We’ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmail’s smart features. The settings themselves aren’t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Google’s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Gmail does scan email content to power its own “smart features,” such as spam filtering, categorisation, and writing suggestions. But this is part of how Gmail normally works and isn’t the same as training Google’s generative AI models. Google also maintains that these feature settings are opt-in rather than opt-out, although users’ experiences seem to vary depending on when and how the new wording appeared. It’s easy to see where the confusion came from. Google’s updated language around “smart features” is vague, and the term “smart” often implies AI—especially at a time when Gemini is being integrated into other parts of Google’s products. When the new wording started appearing for some users without much explanation, many assumed it signalled a broader shift. We’ve revised this article to reflect what we can confirm from Google’s documentation, as it’s always been our aim to give readers accurate, helpful guidance.

if you consider yourrelf self-aware but only acknowledge the things you need to change & not the things you do really well - you aren't self- aware; youre just being mean to yourself.

so, I somehow got into a conversation with my gf that led to us both hazarding a guess as to what the /r/stink subreddit might be about

I guessed that it was a basic enough word that it was probably something more reasonable like people trying to […]

a screenshot of the newest posts from /r/stink. topics include: "I head you were interviewing for the position in the stink department?" (6mo ago, no comments) "Pussy cock synergy--My new apotheosis. Reborn in 996 different timelines" (7mo ago, no comments) "I am stinky" (7mo ago, no comments) "yeah" (1y ago, no comments) "hello, mayor of stink here" (1y ago, no comments) "E" (2y ago, image of hello kitty, no comments) "Hello r/stink, I think we need to have a conversation" (2y ago, 5 comments) "i am the mayor of r/stink" (3y ago, 5 comments) "what is this sub about" (3y ago, 2 comments) "Smell" (8 years ago, 4 comments) "Goodbye AIDS, hello chlamydia" (10 years ago, 1 comment) "So...what stinks right now?" (11 years ago, 2 comments) "This is a killer post" (11 years ago, 4 comments) post in r/stinky with a title of "what is this sub about" from 3 years ago. post body reads "Like for real what are the 6 of you doing here and can we make it stink more" a reply reads "Stink!" a post on r/stink titled "Smell" from 8 years ago, reading: "For a couple of years now, I started smelling really bad and it really destroys my life on so many levels. It's got to the point where I can read people's body language perfectly. I notice the slightest change on people. Hand to the nose, twitching leg or foot, changing their head in the other directions and it just kills me. I am currently a university student and share a house with other people and I hate doing this to them. I am just scared that one time someone will just say "you stink" in front of the whole lecture. I honestly wouldn't know what to do with myself if that happens. I can't even revise for my upcoming exams properly because I don't want to sit next to anyone in the library. Any help would be appreciated because I honestly don't know what to do anymore. It will be time soon to find a graduate job and how I am meant to get one when I am to scared to go next to people. I have been to the doctors and they can't really help me. I do all the things you are meant to do, my hygiene is as expected. My brother sometimes don't shower and don't smell and when I do shower it's still there. So if anyone can help me it would be appropriated. Sorry for the bad grammar English isn't my first language" one reply reads: "Hot as hell. I love to read stories like this. Do you still stink ? If you feel like making friends online, you can friend me on Discord or Steam." (5mo ago) there are more but I'm out of space a post on r/stink with a title/body of "So...what stinks right now?" from 11 years ago a reply reads, "me" (1 year ago) the op replied to that with "9 years later the mystery is solved" (about an hour later)

does anyone know: if I sell this, will the effect it had revert? I can't seem to figure out whether it already "took effect" and i can safely sell it, or if the heroic/levels are contingent on keeping it around

Silent Hill f is teaching me that this "furry" phenomenon began long before social media, and will continue long after we're gone,
Family Physician's Log February 10th I have received reports that the patients will sometimes make strange sounds, then try to get on all fours and crawl around. Housemaids who served the family for many years whisper among themselves, speaking of so-called "fox possession." I have scolded them for spreading such unscientific, superstitious rumors.

[🔒boost, r slur, ableism]

with permission to boost anonymously
My major problem with the way people use the r slur is it's never really in a reclamatory way but just in the "we all talked like this in middle school in 2005" way. I don't think being autistic gives anyone carte blanche to call other people retarded in a way that socially reinforces stigmatization and othering of intellectual disability etc. I know I'm in a minority on this issue, especially nowadays. I don't hate you if you do it, and we can still be friends, even comrades if there's enough of a shared fight, but it does bother me, not in an "I'm offended" way but an "I don't think this is good praxis" way. That's where I stand on this subject.
