Neither of us are very techy and I told him I’d look into this for him because he’s juggling 100 different things right now. I think my dumb ass relaying instructions on how to do this, to his dumb ass, would end in tears.

Oh, goody. The internet’s gonna get a lot worse with a lot fewer voices to hear from.

Appreciate the info, neither of us want to support zionists.

I mean, I assume?

I found the bot promoted in a different Telegram channel dedicated to making and sharing AI-generated nonconsensual pornography which has about 50,000 members.

This isn’t thought policing… First off, these are actions, but second, no one’s policing it.

People still don’t know what Mastodon is. I mentioned it recently and someone asked, “isn’t it mostly white supremacists?”

Meh. If you’re the sort of person who cares, you probably stopped using TikTok when they started sucking up to Trump. If you still use it, you probably support Amazon, too.

I dunno, I have a sibling I’ve never met because they were kidnapped before I was born. Teaching a kid to be safe doesn’t give them the ability to overpower adults.

I think when they get a little older you obviously need to stop tracking them, but I also don’t think it’s bad to want to know where your little kids are.

I do think it’s bad to use an app that has their full names and pictures, though. That’s common sense.

They’ll regenerate like starfish. Infinite switches!

I tried AI once but it just kept telling me to call the hotlines. Useless.

Oh nvm, I wasn’t aware they’d done that. The article only talks about the outage.

ETA did anyone see this message, or have a screenshot of it? I can’t find a single article about it. I don’t mean the screenshot of the Operation Dreadnought website that’s attached to this post.

I’m dumb; can they do that? I thought DoS attacks could be done without hacking, but a url redirect would require hacking, right?

I’m actually against AI art since creative professions are already lacking in labor rights, and it’s going to get worse now that they’re trying to make artists replaceable.

But one of the worst things about it, to me, is that it’s caused artists to start going to bat for IP laws. IP law is the reason you don’t get to finish that story you spent years on, because HBO deleted it in a tax write-off. You don’t even get to talk about what it might have been like, because you’re under NDA.

Now people want it to be illegal to be influenced by copyrighted things. Great.

Huh, my brain somehow added a “not” to that first sentence or something. My mistake.

Isn’t it more because google ignored court orders to disable a piracy app on the play store?

OT but what VPN do you recommend? I hear a lot of back and forth about which ones are trustworthy.

Man… This was actually the thing that pushed me to delete Twitter a while back, algorithm error was feeding people gore. I never even saw any of it, but the anxiety of trying to avoid it wasn’t worth it.

The way things are going, I predict by 2026 my screen time will be down to zero hours.

“I want this”

“Source?”

Pipepipe is still working for me, at least. Revanced worked last I checked, it’s just a bitch to update, which is why I switched.

Newpipe, Pipepipe, Tubular, Revanced, a half-decent adblocker…
