Completely disable Copilot in Windows 11
You too can get the satisfaction of maiming or killing a spy embedded in your organization.
HELL YEAH DESHITTIFICATION!
For everything we do here, please be sure to be careful with what you edit, and restart your computer to lock things in. If you don't have access to the Group editor, (likely to happen if you're on base windows) you can do this as well by opening your Registry Editor app, then inputting this after your 'computer' or whatever the initial segment is. (Mine is computer. If I just try and paste the below string it gets SO mad at me)
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot
Navigating to your "turnoffwindowscopilot", hit modify, and set the value data to 1.
If done correctly, it'll look like this.
While we're at it, you can also get rid of the integrated search, (or that thing where it searches the web when you search anything, whether or not you want it to) and such through regedit as well.
Integrated search will have you going to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer
Navigate to your "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions" bit, if you don't see it, you can make it by right clicking and creating a new registry D-Word key of that exact name. Edit the key, set it to 1. It'll look like this if you do it right!
To get rid of Windows Spotlight, (The thing where it pulls up ten billion pages on windows start page, shoving ads in your face and cluttering everything) we go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DesktopSpotlight\Settings
And set "Enabled State" To 0. If you do it right, it'll look like this!
Disabling edge on startup will also help a fair deal with processing speed and the like. This you can do in all sorts of ways, the easiest being turning it off entirely on startup through settings in the like.
If you want to kill it *entirely*, though? :)
In regedit, run along to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft
Navigate to your MicrosoftEdge key subcategory. If you don't see it, you can make one! Note, this is a KEY, not a d-word. *inside* that subcategory, we want to either make or find the D-Word key of PreventLaunchEdge and set that to 1 in the same way as all the others. It'll look like this.
Aaaand while we're here, I'd HIGHLY recommend shanking Killer Networking Services. It's just bloatware. (Ostensibly it's supposed to monitor your network bandwidth and even things out, but that really means it's constantly monitoring and pinging things, which eats up the bandwidth you DO get, and also chunks your computer's processing power.) Getting rid of it entirely is borderline impossible, since it's set to redownload on regular updates and intel is very pushy with its updates.
This you can do by opening your Services.msc, which basically shows you all the background stuff that Windows does. Find Anything with Killer in the name, right click it, go to properties, and disable startup. It should look like this, if done successfully. It will probably reenable itself in time/in later updates for windows, but it's a quick fix. I'd also check your TaskScheduler app to make sure that nothing's scheduled to open up there, either.
If you CAN completely kill Killer services through uninstalling and the like, I would warn that at very least for my computer, the only ethernet/lan support applications that are available ARE Killer's. When you download updates, you really do have to do it manually and ONLY download the ethernet services, or just be cool with not having Lan functionality.
One last thing, not a shit application but is a shit service. If your computer's constantly overheating or just warm, you likely have Turboboost enabled. (Default setting that you can't change) If you want to be able to turn it off and drop your temps by like 40 degrees, in Regedit go to
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\be337238-0d82-4146-a960-4f3749d470c7
(Note- This isn't the string copy paste from the reddit thread, this is mine that does the same thing. If my string doesn't work for you, check the reddit thread string. If that doesn't work either, you can follow the path and find it pretty easily. Probably has like, one letter of difference somewhere. The bits all start the same, though, so it's easy to find.)
and go to "attributes". Set the value from 1 to 2, and now in your advanced Power Plan settings in control panel, you'll be able to *see* turbo boost and turn it off.
It'll look like this, and in power options, a successful disabling of boost should look like this.
Turning off quick startup's also a good call, since that basically stops your restarts from actually shutting things down properly.
GOOD LUCK OUT THERE YALL. MAKE SURE TO CLEAN YOUR PC!
i really think we the U.S. public need to be SUPER FUCKING LOUD about how admirable we think this kind of thing is.
Anytime military members speak up about not liking their orders to be deployed against the american public, or especially REFUSING such orders, the nation needs to hear a great outcry of public support for that act

āWhy are you wearing an apron? Are you baking?ā No I need the apron to activate Productive Housework Mode. Other accessories include Paisley Bandanna (+2 stamina) Chanclas (+4 defense) and Yellow Rubber Gloves (+2 initiative, +5 defense)

wow i didn't think they'd start the ol "pull the rug out from under the users and start charging more" thing for at least another two years, and i def didn't think they'd already start taking away features and putting them behind a paywall this soon! This seems really really hasty considering we're nowhere near mass user adoption of this new technology yet?
Like you want more people getting used to having this available, you want them to get comfortable enough with it that they wouldn't want to go back to living without it. I always use the example of nintendo online: they let you play their games online for free for one whole year after the launch of the switch, then OOPSY POOPSY u gotta sign up for a monthly "permission to have my game connect to my wifi" subscription
i remember walking around the lobby for spatoon 2 the day before nintendo online launched, and seeing sad goodbye messages from kids who couldn't afford to pay (kids tend not to have income), or kids who's parents weren't going to pay for this because "wat do you mean u have 2 pay to use the internet we already pay for? Your Playstation/Xbox doesn't do that! Its a scam!"
The point is, i griped and bitched but i wanted to play Splatoon and smash broes and mario kart online, so i paid their internet ransom money
We're nowhere near that kind of "I fucking love it though so I'll pay" audience numbers for AI, these clowns are getting too desperate and greedy way too fast and honestly? I'm fucking cheering and clapping my hands because i hope this pours more bleach in the flower pot of this stupid technology and speeds up the inevitable "oh man remember when AI was a thing? That shit was everywhere and people hated it lol!"
man i can't wait to be able to say that out loud one day
(i can't believe ai is already getting enshittified lol wow thanks i appreciate it)
Oh good, I was waiting for this to crash and burn already
Lol, āhistoricallyā. This loser wants you to think heās someone who has seen violence. Always the cybertruck dudes
I can vouch personally for the validity of this campaign, as well as GazaVetters (#6 on the list). They urgently, URGENTLY need your donation.Ā
A reblog -- that's all it really takes. There are campaigns on here with tens of thousands of notesāhow do you think they got there? By everyone scrolling past? Complain about morality OCD and compassion burnout all you want. My friendās family might die tomorrow. Might die right now. In any moment I am not speaking to Ghada, it is possible that she is dead.
So when I ask you to reblog this post, think about the lack of effort it would take to flick your thumbāand realize it could be saving the lives of 14 people, affected by the horrors of war more than you could possibly imagine on your own.
Think about the sound of artillery firing. Even simply guns nearby. There's no "getting used to" that as your constant reality.
Thank you.

Imagine being a fly in World War 1 or something and telling one of your fly friends āOh yeah, that area over there? We donāt go there because thatās where the creatures that are 100x bigger than us have gathered into groups of tens of thousands to try and annihilate each other, sometimes with weapons even bigger than they are, in a conflict that destroys not only them but the land itself. You might want to go somewhere else tbhā
"ai is making it so everyone can make art" Everyone can make art dipshit it came free with your fucking humanity
Oh gee, you're right! Why didn't the people who can't even move their arms think of just making a painting? /s
And before anyone starts spouting some "art is more than just painting" spiel, you don't know what kind of art someone might need to make in order to express their vision. An artist may have a very specific idea in mind to create the perfect piece of graphic art, and using music, performance, etc. just won't cut it for them. AI is a tool that can help the disabled in so many ways. Not even just with art. Get off your high horse and accept that disabled people have different needs and, guess what, ABILITIES than you do. Fuck you, asshole.
you are a tar pit.
and you are ableist.
you're fighting against a tool that makes art more accessible, and actively dismissing the notion that it could even possibly be doing that. this IS ableist. YOU are the tar pit in this situation.
L+Ratio+It doesn't+i slept w your mom
Hi Iām disabled Iām crippled I have a disorder that makes my fingers suddenly dislocate while Iām holding my pencil I have a spinal issue that makes it hard for me to bend over a desk half of the time I have leg issues that make it difficult for me to get around etc etc etc. I also have a bunch of other issues I donāt want to tell you about.
Iām also in art college. And even if I wasnāt, Iāve been doing art for almost a decade now. Iāve been disabled the whole bloody time.
AI, isnāt art.
There are many disabled artists and we have adapted our own ways of dealing with how we create. Fuck you, we have been doing this forever.
Vincent Van Gogh had temporal lobe epilepsy; Henri Matisse became a wheelchair user after surgery for cancer; Michelangelo had osteoarthritis, limiting mobility and causing pain in his hands and feet.
Paul Smith had a severe case of cerebral palsy and created art using typewriters.
Peter Longstaff has no arms due to Thalidomide, and paints with his feet.
Frida Kahlo not only had polio that disabled her as a child, but of course as we all know was injured in a bus accident at the age of 18, which caused her lifelong pain and medical problems.
Fuck, you want a personal annecdote? I knew a girl (we have lost touch since) who was paralysed from the neck down and she painted with her mouth and there are other artists who do so too! And with eye tracking technology Iām sure disabled artists will be getting more and more tools as the years pass. But we do NOT condone AI art. All that does is put us, real disabled artists, who exist and need support, out of jobs and commissions.
Fuck you.
hi, another disabled person here for more personal anecdotes! here is an art piece i made entirely with my non dominant hand 1 week before my most recent shoulder surgery on that same arm. i also wear splint rings to keep my fingers from dislocating while painting (or playing bass guitar cause i do that too). i make most of my income off hand painted art despite having hand tremors, frequent wrist dislocations/subluxations, and migraines.
my friend and her wife also make their incomes off wig making, leatherwork, and digital collage prints. both have chronic pain as well.
our lines arent perfect because we have shaky hands but thats ok, make it a feature not a flaw in your art. fuck AI.
Anyone who thinks physically disabled people need to use art stealing AI to make our own art is the ableist, actually.
Mine isn't as drastic (yet) but I've been having to wear wrist braces and finger splints since childhood off and on because using my hands in a repetitive motions causes them to be in pretty excruciating pain.
What is my art medium of choice? Knitting. You know, that thing where you have to do a repetitive motion over and over again. I hold my needles a bit strange, I knit through the pain, I sometimes have to give up working on it for weeks at a time. But I will not stop because it's what makes my heart sing.
Disabled artists don't need your pity, we've been getting by, doing what makes us happy despite the pain and hardships for thousands of years, probably longer, I bet there were neolithic disabled artists.
No actual real artist wants or uses AI, including disabled artists. AI is for losers who are scared of the extremely important phase in art where you suck and want to skip it by stealing and not even in a cool "I'm emulating your style because I wanna learn from it" way.
Go suck at art for a couple years like the rest of us and stop talking over disabled artists.
Can I just add
Chuck Close
Chuck Close was a painter and photographer who specialized in ENORMOUS portraiture. If you've never been in the same room as one of his works, try to remedy that if you can, because it is an awesome experience. Close had a number of mental and physical conditions as a child, but in 1988, in his 40s and already a celebrated artist, he suffered a blood clot that left him paralyzed from the neck down. After intensive physical therapy, he was able to regain enough control to move his arms (more his upper arms than forearms), enabling him to paint with a brush strapped to his wrist. He adapted his painting style for his disability... and he continued painting enormous, hyper realistic portraits.
Close with self-portraits before (left) and after (right) his paralysis:
yeah top guy who said ai art is āaccessibleā fuck you.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
There's also, like. Humans helping other humans.
There's a glass artist out there name of Chihuly who lost an eye. Not having depth perception is kind of a big problem when working with what is basically slightly domesticated lava. So he uses sketches and storyboard kind of things to lay out what glass pieces he needsāother people make theseāand then assembles them into large art installations that kind of look like what Great Cthulhu's cottage garden would look like, if Great Cthulhu was not in the business of driving people mad and just devoted to spreading a sort of alien beauty.
You should go to a Chihuly exhibit if one comes by your town and you have the spoons to get there.
You should also remember that there is a pretty large team behind him, because art is not Just One Dude, it is a shared endeavor.
This is Park McArthur. She is an artist who uses a wheelchair and she is extremely famous and well regarded and she doesnāt fucking use AI.
I think some of the problems you numbknuts have is that you donāt realize art isnāt just making realistic paintings or stylized representational art. You fail to understand that for millennia humans have been finger painting, making abstract patterns, carving little things, tinkering, putting on skits, throat singing, hand building funny instruments, etc.
āYou donāt know what kind of art someone might need to make in order to express their visionā what a stupid argument. I have visions outside of my own capabilities all the time and I have an MFA. I donāt know how to work with glass so I had to give up a number of projects that a glass blower could do. I donāt have money so I have had to give up on a number of projects that a wealthy artist who has a fabrication team could do. Thatās art dude. You use creativity to overcome. If you canāt paint then write poems. If you canāt write poems then sing. If you canāt sing braid rope. If you canāt do it one way, then do it a different way and I promise you, youāll be more fulfilled that way.
Iāve literally been in class with print makers who made their work by rolling their inked up wheelchair wheels over paper and clay to make prints and impressions of their disability aids. I was an artist assistant to a disabled glass artist who was partially wheelchair bound but MADE IT WORK by knowing their limits, planning accordingly, and leaning on me and others to help fill in gaps. They worked too fucking hard for someone to be saying they need the plagiarism machine to produce things. Theyāve literally gone on to residencies and received international acclaim from glass organizations. Fuck off.
Thereās also !!! *Collaboration* ~ a beautiful process by which you enrich your human experience by working on things with others who have different skill sets and produce something neither of you could have done alone.
Sorry for the rant but disabled people are fucking awesome and have worked so hard to do things itās fucking insulting to insinuate they āneedā something like AI to make their work.

Is lava to ignians just like water is to humans?
It's more like mud. Won't kill you, will mess up your clothes; kids like playing with it. Can be sculpted into fun shapes if you're skilled!
It's also only Volcano Ignans who can be this cavalier about it. Even Desert Ignans find lava very uncomfortable and mostly stay outside of volcanos, although it's still orders of magnitude less dangerous for them than an uninfluenced human.
Wait are all ignans Fire-influenced? I thought it was just, like, an ethnicity, and the ignans on this island were unusual for their elemental integration
How does the elemental influence manifest in desert ignans? Dainix to date seemed like a pretty ordinary fire mage guy, Crucible stuff aside
Dainix is unusual by Ignan standards because he isn't a fire mage. Almost all Ignans are latent fire casters, and all Ignans are extremely resistant to fire and heat, finding the desert temperatures very comfortable - boiling water and wood fires don't burn their skin, and are in fact common cleaning methods; even molten glass can be sculpted with their bare hands. This is not a universal trait of fire mages, as Erin is extremely not fireproof and needs to do a lot of work to stay safe when he plays with fire. The flame-like stripes on Ignan's skin are a physical tell of extreme Fire influence, and their hair and eyes are almost always in the red-blonde range as a result as well. (Dainix is also unusual by Ignan standards in that he's largely not susceptible to the cold, which is otherwise a near-universal problem for them if they leave the desert. He only learned this recently, however.)
How do Ignans comfortably live in the desert at night when the temperatures drop extremely low? Iām assuming that their homes at least have some type of night time heating, but how screwed would they be without it?
Heyy, sorry if I'm missing something very obvious but I don't fully understand what Tess is doing on page 4.18. Is she carving a stone spell into the ceiling with her lightning to get VoidErin to fall to the ground? Because in that case I thought she'd have to use a stone lacrima. Or is she just carving a lightning spell and using it to magnetize Erin to the ground, and the sound effect's color being a blend of lightning and stone is because both magics are at play simultaneously?
The breakdown is as follows:
Step 1: Shape lightning into runes for a Sealing spell.
Step 2: shoot that shit at the ceiling
Void Dragon has already started releasing his hold on Erin at this point, convinced by Tess's argument that he needs her to stop Erin's uncontrolled magic and she won't do it if he doesn't bail. The magic isn't knocking Erin over, he's falling because the Dragon isn't holding him up anymore.
Step 3: Spell brands itself into the rock. No stone magic is required for this, although it would have made things easier for Tess - she's essentially using the lightning to break the rock in extremely precise patterns to spell the runes.
Sealing spells repel all forms of elemental energy, so this breaks the loop on Erin's uncontrolled channeling.
So sheās essentially just spellcarving like Falst does but with lightning
Iām pretty sure that Australians donāt have more then maybe 30-50k MAX people on tumblr. Like American had some 30 million users in 2020 (aka basically probably peak over the last 7 2018-2025) while Australia only has 26-28million people depending on who you ask (27 to be safe) so Iām just genuinely curious how many of us there must be on here.
