  • Austrian NATO Führer Gunther warns if Trump takes Greenland, Europe will seize US bases

  • I guess these guys missed what happened to the ICC justices who got out of line with the US and subsequently had their modern lives deleted when Microsoft and Google turned all their shit off. Won't be talking so tough when they can't even login to their email.

  • Mad respect that Larry didn't put his thumb on the scale and give her any followers, even though it would be trivial for TikTok to do.

  • ATTENTION Gmail users, You have been automatically OPTED IN to allow Gmail to access all your private messages & attachments to train AI models. EDIT maybenot?

  • This was Fake News that was corrected: https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/2025/11/gmail-is-reading-your-emails-and-attachments-to-train-its-ai-unless-you-turn-it-off

    Google is a terrible company and has countless crimes to pay for, don't need to manufacture anything else or scare people needlessly.

    If you had a negative reaction to the idea though, you should probably still switch email providers. As others are saying, it's just a matter of time before Google does get more aggressive pushing AI, abusing your data, and drowning you in more shit.

    Updating accounts and migrating email from accounts that are over 20 years old sucked ass, but it feels great to be out of Google, save for YouTube.

    Alt txt for OP: A series of debunked tweets, informed by a corrected MalwareBytes article, highlighting Google gmail features purported to pertain to AI in Nov 2025 and calls to action to disable identified settings.

  • It was billed as a miniseries so technically yes. There was some chatter about adapting the second book but that seems unlikely so also yes.

  • The TV adaptation is great. I wish I could watch it without knowing anything about it again.

  • I'm American but I definitely don't feel "privileged"

  • Hang in there comrade.

    Yeah, we don't have to worry about bombs dropping on our heads, but we're one injury away from ruin or looking over our shoulder for one snapped coworker or student with a military grade rifle. We have no real safety net besides what we can stitch together ourselves. Don't be afraid to ask for aid. The best thing those of us in the heart of empire can do is help ourselves and help each other. Being ready to act, and having those around us also ready to act is more important than acting prematurely.

  • ‘No more annexation fantasies’ Greenland PM responding to Trump's threats

    Jump

  • Said also:

    "We are not in the situation where we are thinking that a takeover of the country might happen overnight," Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said at a news conference in the capital Nuuk.

    "You cannot compare Greenland to Venezuela. We are a democratic country."

    lmao Greenland not being fucked is the only fantastical thinking I'm seeing on display

  • WTF is this shit? This is required to watch a "restricted" video on YouTube now

  • well at least your account isn't so old that they dont have to bother asking

  • Nothing screams ‘huge gamble’ like having a safety net made of gold.

  • This is a good tweet for 2021. Are the fine details correct? No, the other comments are picking on 'em.

    But at least one mom or grandma saw the bigger point and thought, "Oh, maybe Mark Zuckerberg only got where he is because he was already wealthy" and started on a path that later opened their eyes to class consciousness and now has friends at the wine club or bingo game who are sick of hearing them talk about the tech bro oligarchs and guillotines all the time.

    lol are we being pranked? Rotate the first letter of their Twitter handle to right 90 degrees and that's exactly who I imagine would AI generating pictures of a mass grave and posting it as a threat

    Nah, I'd rather measure this lumber, rope, and very large blade that can be used to slice watermelons in half

  • https://heimdall.site/ for my links homepage and I just check my hypervisor management interface if I want to see how things are running.

  • Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features

    Jump

  • There was some initial confusion about Librewolf's stance on AI, at the same time Mozilla Foundation CEO was putting his revolver into one of his orifices, that has since been cleared up: https://chaos.social/@librewolf/115716906957137196

    With their clarification on why AI slop was enabled in Librewolf, I'd only caution anyone against Librewolf because they are a hardcore privacy solution for the most conservative risk tolerance. If it doesn't break your browsing or screw with your flow, then it's also a good consideration.

  • Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features

    Jump

  • Consider https://www.waterfox.com/ as an alternative. Anyone who wants a fair and free internet is probably still fucked in the mid-term unless a new FOSS engine falls out of the sky or a bunch of Mozilla devs jump ship with a hard fork because Waterfox is still downstream of Mozilla, using their engine, and reliant on them maintaining code. But Waterfox is not a bad option at present in a sea of terrible options, and it's what I've switched to.

    https://www.waterfox.com/blog/no-ai-here-response-to-mozilla/

    Waterfox exists because some users want a browser that simply works well at being a browser. The UI is mature - arguably, it has been a solved for problem for years. The customisation features are available and apparent. The focus is on performance and web standards.

    In many ways, browsers are operating systems of their own, and a browser’s job is to be a good steward of that environment. AI, in its current form and in my opinion does not match that responsibility.

    And yes, yes - disabling features is all well and good, but at the end of the day, if these AI features are black boxes, how are we to keep track of what they actually do? The core browsing experience should be one that fully puts the user in control, not one where you’re constantly monitoring an inscrutable system that claims to be helping you.

    Waterfox will not include LLMs. Full stop. At least and most definitely not in their current form or for the foreseeable future.

  • E33/Blue Prince AI drama(?) and the weird inferiority(and at the same time, superiority) complex of the playerbase

  • Anyone who believed the shitty Escapist article is at best a fool who was easily duped, and any opinions they express should be considered accordingly.

  • Fuck it. We need to Liquid Glass the site. Sick of this ugo shit. I want so many transparencies and floating icons. I want responses to hover onto the page, blurring the homepage behind. And more whit

    Jump

  • What do you mean you dont like us moving the search bar thats been at the top of the screen for over a decade to the bottom because we felt like it? Don't worry about the fact that we had UI researchers and data informing our past work and we laid them off or replaced them with AI. Actually you're the problem if you think you shouldn't have to relearn how to use our product you pay for every couple years.

  • The Right trying to reclaim the R slur is gonna backfire

    Jump

  • If they are so successful that it actually becomes a redefined word with social understanding that it's used as a reference to somebody who is Republican or fascist or Nazi or has those tendencies, that could be awesome.

  • Based on the people that I have met in my life I wonder how people with such shitty politics and views on marginalized communities can have so many friends and be so smart in STEM, the intelligetsia?

    Jump

  • Most cases in my experience is partly because STEM study is divorced from study of Humanities. Wanna know how many STEM students were in my 300s Eng Lit class where we had analysis on Neuromancer and how fucked that all was? ZERO. It was the same people from all my other courses.

  • Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage

    Jump

  • It seems like the rules clearly stated no AI could be used to be considered for any awards for this contest. Sandfall could have withdrawn, they've won enough other awards, and it probably wouldn't be a big deal. But Sandfall instead proceeded through the nomination process, and only had the award stripped from them when it was discovered they were lying about not using AI.

    Setting aside the fact that AI is a tool of capital to oppress and steal from labor, not disclosing the use of AI to win an indie award is tacky. The dishonesty to win a low-stakes award is why this is a bigger deal. Especially with the nepotism, budget and capital behind Sandfall vs. the much smaller studios that were in contention this year and created art, by hand, that deserves to be celebrated.
