Taylor Swift fans having a coherent orderly exit from Twitter based on their values and interests not being respected is exhibiting more personal dignity and organizing power than any actual group of elected officials right now lol

Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me? @cryptovillage.bsky.social survived day 1 at #BSidesSF thanks to our hoard of incredible volunteers, thanks everyone! Working on the puzzles zine? Reach out (via Signal, old Slack, Twitter) to join the CPV Discord for hints & support! Meta puzzle dropping tonight ✨

Do you have cute stories about privacy and cryptography conflicting? Have thoughts about ML/AI and the state of the field today? See potential systemic privacy issues in fields such as education, prisons, bureaucratic institutions and have ideas on how to tackle them? Please submit to our CFP!

Hope I have a positive update in the future! Very disappointing I was not informed, had a Turnitin account created without my authorisation including transfers of my PII and Creative Works before I came across a EULA I can't even decline (your EULA is broken, Turnitin). ✨ Privacy is a right ✨

avi 🐰 @llzes.bsky.social · 01/09/2023

I dropped my English courses due to varying issues with Turnitin, their EULA, my ethics and values. It's baffling that English professors, authors, academics hate AI infiltrating their spaces. Yet the English department forces students to systemically give up their Creative Works to fuel the cycle.

Didn't realise Bsky doesn't have threading, made a thread which ends here! (I can't upload photos from my phone so I don't post oops). Learning a lot about academia first-hand fast 🫠

avi 🐰 @llzes.bsky.social · 30/08/2023

So it turns out, if you try to opt-out of the Turnitin EULA by selecting "Disagree": nothing happens! Love being sent into a void of privacy and policy awaiting my fate as I don't authorise my papers being shipped off to Turnitin 🫠 (Recommendations navigating this in academia are welcome!)

If you're not a specialist in a specific field and related areas that are sensitive to victims and survivors, I recommend you don't make arbitrary commentary. 1. A lot of misinformation is being spread; 2. There are critical and deep misunderstandings of how policies, systems, and institutions work

avi 🐰 @llzes.bsky.social · 28/07/2023

so while it turns out you can, in fact, write 5 weeks of work for an intensive college course in 15 hours (my highlight was getting 79/80 points: 98.75% for the 4 quizzes total due to disagreeing with james madison on federalist 51)... ...you really should not, missed a deadline in my fav class!
