Oh: I really can’t emphasize enough how useful it is to check — literally right now, do it. Likely, it’s peace of mind in a couple of minutes. At worst, you still have time (barely) to remedy it.

Getting tired of untested vibecoded ports that are just buggy and because no experienced coders are around, they can't fix it? Never fear, as I have listed decomps and recomps done by actual people and it will continue expanding! If you know any, lemme know!

I'm joining the war on slop with cheap, fast flyer commissions. If you know someone who is asking the computer for event posters, tell them to ask me instead. Get the guarantee!
A poster mocked up as if it was offset printed in black and red roughly 60 years ago. The header reads "AVAILABLE NOW! FLYERS DESIGNED BY A HUMAN BEING!" and the subsequent text is pitching $50 flyer designs with a "SLOP-FREE GUARANTEE," incorporating some vintage Henry Volk clipart of people looking at a poster and saying how well it reflects on the event organizer.

3) Don't say "woke". You're working on their terms. Just like "politically correct". Standing up for women, trans folks, or queer folks is just plain CORRECT and NORMAL. 4) Make them explain themselves. Don't let them get away with sly insinuation. Ask them what they mean. Make them explain it.

My tips are as follows: 1) Don't treat discussions of trans people, pronouns, or issues as if you're saying something you need to apologize for. To steal a Kevin Hart bit, "Say it with your chest" like you know you're right and you mean it. 2) Saying "that's fucked up" or just "nope" goes a long way

It's adults that would be prosecuted for bypassing age verification... which just makes it illegal for adults to view the internet without being surveilled. They are removing privacy and what information you are allowed to access, stop letting them blatantly lie about 'protecting kids'

VPN bans are a direct response to age-verification. Legislators are frustrated that people are getting around their surveillance, but rather than rethink their strategy, they're doubling down and banning VPNs. Fight the Flock-ing of the internet.

Remember that even though the vaccine is not sterilizing it does lessen the severity in the acute stage and also lessens the chances you get long covid symptoms and damage that can last for months, years, or even be permanent.

This! 👇🏽 AI evangelists pretend that the debate over the nature of AI—namely whether it’s sentient or not, is a referendum on whether it’s dangerous. But that has no relationship to reality. AI can be, AND IS, harmful regardless of whether it’s conscious or merely a creature of its training data.
