How to disable or avoid intrusive AI
One of the biggest questions I get at Drop-In Time at the library (besides "what is taking up all my cloud storage?") is how to disable or avoid intrusive AI that shows up where people don't want it. ...

Okay, so Reform is now actively advocating for the armed forces to murder unarmed civilians as official policy. At what point does the media at large stop treating these people as anything but fascistic far right thugs who under any normal functioning system would be condemned as extremists.

We drove out west quite a few times past this, and every time we did I told the kids that many people died there and that ‘this is what happens when you don’t care about the vulnerable, and that’s what Tories do’. So far it’s worked.

I can’t believe the debate around racism in this country has got to such an awful, primitive level that hard right politicians are having to earnestly discuss whether they’re actually English or not because they’re not white.

I'm really glad that google assistant has been replaced by google gemini on my phone, without me being asked and with no way to restore assistant. Why would I want my phone to function like it always has? "Set an alarm" / "I can't do that. Would you like to know what I can do?" Great 👍

I will be thinking about Angrypennies forever
Tumblr post from user kat: i had a dream last night that the entire world used a currency (?) called angrypennies which as the name implies are obtained by experiencing anger. the stronger and more intense your anger was, the more angrypennies you'd gain. an all-consuming rage would earn you more than a slight irritation, etc. so people were always searching for ways to fuel their anger and purposefully keeping themselves angry all the time because they wanted to earn angrypennies. unclear if angrypennies could be exchanged for goods and services, or if they were just a collectible. anyway, as if this wasn't heavy-handed enough, at one point british comedian greg davies appeared and explained that angrypennies couldn't be worth feeling angry all the time. this was a real revelation to dream-me and i was finally able to break free of the angrypenny grind and allow myself to experience emotions other than anger.it goes without saying that i will be using the word angrypenny as if it was part of the common vernacular instead of a term that my dreaming brain conjured up i.e. "he's all about the angrypennies" (derogatory way to refer to a guy who searches for reasons to be angry and possibly lacks introspection)

5. After around 30 hours at sea, the dinghy was intercepted by the RNLI and those on board transferred to two lifeboats. Two lifeboat personnel tried to secure the empty dinghy. Thomas yelled abuse and knifed the dinghy to deflate it - with a rescuer still on board.

The radio call to the Solomon Browne unanswered. The seconds of static that seem to drag on into minutes, hours, days. The repeat call, out into radio silence. Anyone attacking the RNLI is no mariner, has no concept of the power of the sea and should sit down and shut the fuck up.

Remember the deal was: you give up collective bargaining and provisions to protect you in unemployment or ill health, and you gain cheap goods, social mobility and a house? And now nothing works, everything is expensive, the public realm is visibly degraded and about ten guys own the whole world.

Given that a barely qualified psychiatrist making one 10 year old briefly go without meds warranted weeks of primetime coverage about how #ADHD is a myth, this report, which is orders of magnitude more conclusive, will surely receive even more attention. Any minute now... #TheGreatADHDMyth

 
ADHD is not being overdiagnosed, major Government report set to find
Hello and welcome to The Essential, where we dig deeper into today’s big stories. 

How much help should someone with ADHD receive  – in clinical support, employment and via social security? It’s a live debate in Whitehall, because of rising costs for the NHS and UK benefits. For some, the idea that far too many people are being diagnosed with ADHD or autism has taken root.

But what does the evidence show? A new, landmark Government review – authored by clinicians – has concluded that ADHD and autism are not widely over-diagnosed in the UK. Read our exclusive report here, which explains what the experts say ... and what they think should happen next.
