MTL Weibo Introduction:
“So *you’re* the leader of this bunch of humans? Then you’d better rein in that ‘HR Operator’ out there! He insists on classifying my species as some ‘Liberi’—I’ve told him ten thousand times: I’m a chicken! A *Red Junglefowl*! Is that really so hard to understand?”
____________
It took GALLUS² a mere five minutes to storm from the HR Department to the Doctor’s office; unwilling to wait even a single second for the elevator, it had simply scaled the elevator shaft directly.
Prior to this, a Liberi Operator—tasked with processing new hire records—had spent a full fifty minutes employing every tactic from gentle persuasion to firm insistence, attempting to convince GALLUS² to comply with HR regulations and provide accurate, verifiable identity information.
But GALLUS² simply could not comprehend why the entire HR Department refused to accept its self-designation as a “Red Junglefowl.” Nor could it understand why it was being lumped together as a “Liberi” alongside those lanky, sparsely feathered individuals.
Even inside the Doctor’s office, the argument between GALLUS² and the HR Operator showed no signs of abating—until the Doctor finally found an opening to interject, offering a rapid-fire explanation of the evolutionary history of Terra’s species over the past ten millennia. Only upon learning that the “Liberi” Operator standing before it was, in fact, a distant descendant, did GALLUS² finally fall silent for the very first time.
But just as quickly, it erupted once more, shouting at the top of its lungs with booming vigor:
“I haven’t even demanded that you address me as ‘Ancestor’—which is already incredibly magnanimous of me—so what exactly are you still quibbling about? Just put down ‘Red Junglefowl’! Do it now! And don’t you dare refuse!”
Instead of being in settings its in the google app. Also, google, not chrome. Icon is a G, not the circle thing. Click on your pfp to open a menu
From there, go Settings > Gemini > Digital Assistants > Switch to Google Assistant. This disables Gemini, google's AI assistant, and switches you back to the old one. We aren't done yet.
Go back to Settings. From there, we go Settings > Google Assistant > scroll to find General > Google Assitant on/off > turn it off
They really tried their best to make it a pain, but you can eventually disable it. Holding the power button on your phone still pulls up a menu and asks you to turn it back on, but this is the least intrusive you can make it.
Applies to all non-apple phones afaik. For sure Samsungs and Pixels but idrk about others
Edit: thank you my friend @/teeth-kid for confirming that this also works on Motorola
a follow-up article now that the trial has concluded
What does [Daniel's conviction] mean?
* the physical act of moving literature (transporting a box from one house to another, or potentially from a print shop to a post office) can be charged as "concealing evidence" if the government claims you knew an investigation was underway or imminent.
* Normal distribution activities (shipping, relocating stock) could be reinterpreted as "flight of evidence" if law enforcement decides the materials are linked to a crime.
* "Protected Speech" Can Be Reclassified as "Contraband":
* The zines in the box included crimethinc, anarchist library, little black cart, and titles from many more distributors. is there a complete list?
* Prosecutors successfully argued that because the zines contained the same ideas as the "Antifa terrorist enterprise" (per the government's theory), the zines themselves became "instrumentalities of a crime" This bypasses First Amendment protections by treating the published anarchist texts as "tools" of terrorism rather than speech.

“Who’s been sticking flyers on our front wall again? Wait… what is this?”
“A notice from the Imperial Council? Why wouldn't they post this on the public bulletin boards in the city center? What are they doing sticking it in a dark alley like this? Is it meant for ghosts to read?”
“Maybe they’re just embarrassed. They’re so indecisive—they’ve completely made a mockery of His Majesty the Emperor’s dignity! Hah!”
“Shh! Those guys might not have gone far yet. Aren't you afraid they’ll hear you? Watch out, or they might slap a wanted warrant on you, too!”

MTL Weibo Introduction:
“So you’re Sonya’s boss’s boss? Just call me Ukusik. Sonya says you’re really tough, though you don’t exactly look like you could beat her in a fight. Alright, don’t worry—if things actually come to blows, I’ll back you up. …Why are you laughing?”
-------------------------------------------
Three days. Ten formal complaints.
Ukusik could no longer be allowed to serve as the front desk receptionist; the operators at the Saint-Juneburg office had reached a unanimous consensus.
The sole dissenter was Ukusik herself. She insisted that she was actually quite good at the job—she had simply had the misfortune of encountering a few customers with bad tempers.
“But you completely infuriated that pharmaceutical supplier who came in to discuss an order!”
“W-well, I just never expected that a wealthy Saint-Juneburg noble would show up to a business meeting wearing an outfit that went out of style three years ago!”
“But you shouldn’t have said that right to his face! And on top of that, you actually made that elderly Councilwoman faint from sheer rage!”
“It’s not my fault! Her face was pale as a sheet, but her lips were a terrifying shade of red—naturally, I had to ask if she’d been poisoned!”
“That’s called makeup!”
“I’m only eleven years old, and I’m not a noble—why should I be expected to understand what makeup is? If you understood it, why didn’t you warn me back then?”
Uchu hopped onto a stool and continued, “Oh, wait, I remember now! You were clearly stifling a laugh right alongside me! I just said out loud exactly what you were thinking—how can you have the nerve to blame me?”
“…”
“So, what do we do, Winter General?”
“How about we send her back to Rhodes Island HQ for the time being? I mean, it’s already been… uh… a week since she last returned to headquarters for her Oripathy treatment, hasn’t it?”
“Hmm, a week? That is quite a long time; she really ought to go back for a follow-up checkup. While she’s there, we might as well sign her up for a two-month literacy course or something similar.”

MTL Weibo Introduction:
"Doctor, I remember you—that distinctive waveform that appeared so frequently within Rhodes Island's encrypted signals. You can just call me Botani; I'm used to being addressed that way. As for 'nerd'—I take that as a compliment."
The monitor folded up the transcribed note and was just about to tuck it into her pocket—
“What are you doing?” Her superior had appeared behind her without her noticing.
“N-nothing…”
“This is the Third Bureau, not a charity shelter. If you have an excess of misplaced pity, you may submit a formal request to me; I will grant you special permission to go and keep them company.”
The superior took the note from her hand and tossed it into the wastebasket.
The monitor stared blankly at the wastebasket, where hundreds of notes bearing the exact same message were already piled high.
