if you donate one single us dollar to the unrwa, you will have donated more money than you would have by clicking that stupid arab.orb link every day for four and a half years. yes, they do actually donate money to the unrwa, but even with tens of thousands of clicks, most of that money is the baseline $90 they send every quarter. from 2023 quarter 4, half a million clicks turned into $380.57. maths out to six hundreths of one cent per click. just donate to unrwa.

JEREMY FRAGRANCE - "My heart beats for Revachol, I want to have a girlfriend soon!" The well-groomed man beams at you. He has said these two things, one after the other, seamlessly, as if they are related somehow.

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Oh, he's definitely on something. Ask him what he's on. It's got to be the good shit.

LOGIC - Let's not be too judgmental. He is not from here. Maybe this is normal behavior in.... wherever it is?

PERCEPTION - He smells amazing. Perhaps forgive him his eccentricities?

SAVOIR FAIRE - This suave motherfucker is wearing the hell out of that outfit! Ask him what he’s wearing!

JEREMY FRAGRANCE - "I am really preciously looking now for a girlfriend. I wanna find the right one.” He smiles, again, beatifically. His teeth are gleaming white.

DRAMA - He means it, sire.

EMPATHY - It’s been a long, long time.

HALF LIGHT - You need to get the fuck out of here immediately.

because in cases of self immolation it is perhaps most important to amplify the cause for which they are committing the act, here’s what the protestor in dc had to say.

[ID: In a live stream video, the protestor stated, “I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it is not extreme at all.”

The protestor ended their statements to the camera with: “This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.” /End ID]

(protestor is currently in critical condition according to the dc metro police dpt)

Fellow Windows 11 users: how to disable newly-installed Microsoft AI!

Folks, with the new updates that've come down recently, Microsoft has installed its "Copilot" AI app on your machine. It cannot be removed.

But it can be disabled. Here's how (courtesy of the excellent Pihko Misit, aka @smokepaw.bsky.social over at Bluesky). I've just done this to my own desktop machine, and all's well with it now.

Here's what to do:

(1) You need to have Admin rights for the machine and be logged in to the administrator account.

Now, right-click on the Start menu (Windows logo on the Taskbar.) A menu pops up; about half way down it you'll see Terminal and Terminal (Admin). Click on the Terminal (Admin) option.

(2) A DoS-like box will open. (For those of you who've never interacted with a Windows terminal window before, it looks like this:)

On the command line (i.e. the first empty line), copy and paste this:

reg add HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot /v TurnOffWindowsCopilot /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Then hit Enter.

If successful, you'll see a line pop up saying so. Congratulations! But you're not quite finished.

Now you need to close all programs and fully shut down the machine. A restart isn't enough, it needs to be fully powered down and started back up.

"And now," Pihko says, "ou have a NSA-like AI spy dormant on your machine. Stay vigilant, odds are it'll turn back on with future updates! Big Corporate wants you to be compliant. Don't be!"

I use Mac so I can't even read some of this, but this looks like a confirmation from howtogeek:

Window Copilot is great, but it's not for everyone.

and one from Laptop Mag:

It's pretty easy to ditch Window's AI Copilot if you don't want it

additional information from MS itself. I hope this is useful to my peeps:

i thought i was radicalized before but there is something about seeing every respectable institution and politican and media outlet around you cheer on a genocide while at the same time being able to see live footage of its horrors that cracks something in you open with no way to close it up again

Everyone asking me "what if I do this?" "What if I do that?"

I can't help you. This is the only information I've gathered about this world so far.

A thing (mostly U.S.-born, white) liberals need to learn is that Muslim and Arab Americans are fully aware of how dangerous Trump is to our communities. Believe me, we are not ignorant or naive, and we most certainly haven't forgotten.

We are also not going to break solidarity with our--in some cases literal--brothers and sisters who are enduring genocide in order to buy a little temporary safety for ourselves.

Solidarity is always more powerful than the alternative. You might try it some time.

What I would like the blue-no-matter-who folks on here to do is figure out your deal breakers. Because right now the Democrats figure that as long as their candidate is even marginally less bad than the Republican, they'll have your vote.

(if you're wondering where they got that idea, it might have to do with the fact that some of you have said so in as many words.)

But what that means in practical terms is that the worse Republicans get, the worse the Democrats can afford to be, and still expect you to show up and vote for them.

So either there will come a time when there's a Democratic candidate you can't stomach voting for....or you'll vote blue your way right into hell.

Best figure out now what your stopping point is.
