Authy doesn’t work, but Authy is not that great privacy-wise. I use a self-host app anyway that’s backed up.

I’ve seen this before. The great copyright battle continues, companies vs. peoples…

Browsing extensions are being discovered by directly probing them - over 6,200 of them - and they are particular extensions tied to religious, political, and neurodivergent use cases. This is more than just browser fingerprinting - it is breaching the privacy of the user and profiling them in ways deemed illegal in the EU (GDPR) and even California. That doesn’t include the tracking cookies, either.

Well, you could do this yourself too… it’s not just an “issue” with AI, but that copyright is not meant to protect against competition forever.

Linux Mint is definitely a plus, as it is easy to use and more free than Ubuntu and definitely more free than Zorin. It’s also vintage enough to run on older computers just fine, though I recommend MATE or XFCE spin for the RAM poor

Pixel’s a Google device in design. A used one unlocked, and GrapheneOS, and there is no Google.

Looks like it’s time to dip entirely from red.

While I am not against AI as a tool, this person being a tool with AI generated slop remixes everywhere as a hustle is not approve.

The key still identifies you wherever you go.

FINALLY

Battlefield used to do this little bit of reality.

Is this kitty Great and Powerful?

Gaming on a pc worsens the climate crisis more than me once in a while using a local model.

$80bn for VR Miis that didn’t have legs until last year

$80bn for “We have VRChat at home”

Instead they bought Moltbook, the reddit for ai bots (only ai bots can post)

So when googling icons and using them, do you take note of the source? I’ve come across many where the artist specifically says not to use the image in tabletops or rpgs or icons or profile pics. You’re directly disrespecting the author if you straight up use their image(s) in the tabletop against their wishes.

As for environmentally-destroying image generators, I only use local models I can run on my own pc. A microwave is 5x more environmentally impactful, and if I want generic_npc_worker_328, I take it as an artistic direction to ai generate a token of said generic_npc_worker_328…

…and some players somehow feel ai generated tokens are worse than that actual piracy of searching art sites for token images
