Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

Was very excited when Last Week Tonight asked @404media.co to help out with research/fact checking for an AI Slop segment that ran last night. I thought it turned out very good! Here's a few mentions of our reporting, and the full segment: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWpg...

I’ve begun my journey to reduce my reliance on US tech, so it’s time for an update on how it’s all going! No surprise, some services are far more easy to replace than others. Email and streaming are low-hanging fruit; maps and messaging can be more difficult. But we should still make the effort.

important life hack for video games

With video game prices rising, AI is a critical tool for developers and gamers alike.

By seeing which games use AI, gamers can save money by not buying those games.

Here's how you remove Google AI from your mobile devices.

amongussexgif

...

Instead of being in settings its in the google app. Also, google, not chrome. Icon is a G, not the circle thing. Click on your pfp to open a menu

From there, go Settings > Gemini > Digital Assistants > Switch to Google Assistant. This disables Gemini, google's Al assistant, and switches you back to the old one. We aren't done yet.

Go back to Settings. From there, we go Settings > Google Assistant > scroll to find General > Google Assitant on/off > turn it off

They really tried their best to make it a pain, but you can eventually disable it. Holding the power button on your phone still pulls up a menu and asks you to turn it back on, but this is the least intrusive you can make it.

Applies to all non-apple phones afaik. For sure Samsungs and Pixels but idrk about others

Edit: thank you my friend @/teeth-kid for confirming that this also works on Motorola

Isso é um absurdo, a Meta deveria ser multada aqui no Brasil, também. Estão fazendo chamadas localhost pros apps do Instagram e Facebook (e talvez outros) e vazando nossos dados. Privacidade pra que, né? Mudei pro Brave agora também no telefone. Lá dá pra bloquear chamadas em localhost. Já ativei.

Not once, not twice, but a few times with trans friends I have known for years, I have tripped up like a clod and accidentally used their former name thoughtlessly. I have never had any of them be anything less but gracious and kind. Having trans friends teaches you to be better. It's awesome.

Happy Pride Month! Friendly reminder that: -Pride was a protest, and we STILL need to protest for our rights -There's no LGBT without the T, in fact, there is a queer community THANKS to the T -The only ones that don't belong at Pride are bigots and cops, and that includes identity police

Vou socializar aqui esse conhecimento pra momentos assim: Acrescentar uma boa quantidade de bicarbonato de sódio na água do cozimento transforma macarrão comum em algo próximo de Yakisoba. O lance é por conta da alteração do pH da água, que modifica a textura final - o macarrão fica mais elástico

Really incredible story unraveling in this thread, where Amazon and other sites have seemingly been able to sell an academic textbook that was withdrawn in 2021 and never actually printed or published, without the knowledge of the press, editors or contributors. Something has gone deeply wrong!

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/
