Secret santa gift i made for a friend in a discord server! RiD Star staying cozy with personalized scarves.... how thoughtful! (he will keep these on his person for the rest of time)
This Christmas season, please do not forget the children and families in Gaza, who are currently suffering horrible conditions -- lack of food and safety, flooding, and the cold.
If you'd like to support a family this holiday, please consider donating to my friend Nader's fundraiser. He's got a large family, including a young niece and a sick father. It's the right time of year to be kind and caring towards others, and they could really use the help.
This will be our third birthday in a war that has devastated everything in its path, and we are still fighting despite all the pain and hardship we have endured. We have lost so many loved ones and friends, and we don't want to lose any more. We are tired of all this. Please, I beg you, donate. I don't want anything else but for you to donate so that we can continue our lives until the time comes for us to leave here. Please donate.
Nader and his family need our support and help. Please read Nader's story, his suffering, and the difficulties he is going through, and donate to him. Let's give them a happy birthday this year. Please donate.
If you are on a Windows 11 computer, pause everything you are doing for one minute and:
Open computer settings
Click on Accessibility on the left-hand menu
Scroll down the Accessibility menu and click on the Keyboard Option
Under the "related settings" tab, click "Typing" which should have a description of "spellcheck, autocorrect, text suggestions."
Turn off the AI "correct misspelled words"
and most importantly: turn off Typing Insights.
[ID: a screenshot of the above mentioned Windows 11 settings, showing that Typing Insights is now turned off, with the following description from Microsoft:
"Windows is using artificial intelligence to help you type
To help you save time and type efficiently, Windows can learn to suggest words, autocorrect spelling mistakes, and interpret swiped typing. Take a look at the insights below to see up-to-the-minute stats on how Windows has learned to improve typing for you. These stats are stored only on this device and Microsoft does not collect the typing insights data."
End ID]
"But Mx. November, it says right there Microsoft doesn't collect the typing insights data!"
I mean, yeah, it says that..... for *now.*
It also only specifies that Microsoft themselves don't collect it, and they wouldn't have made this something that I was automatically, secretly opted in for without my knowledge if they didn't have something to be gained by me not knowing it exists!
I only found this because a cat walked on the keyboard and turned on Filter Keys and while trying to figure out why my keyboard was just making chirping noises instead of typing, I happened to click on "typing insights" by accident.
Generative AI, and especially AI that is used to "personalize" and track your activity across the web and on your computer are never going to be in your best interest, it is always going to serve these companies in whatever way will line their pockets the most, and all it takes is updating their terms of service once, and then all of that data they promised they weren't collecting suddenly all belongs to them.
coming up with aus for your own ocs is so funny like yeah these are my guys i made up but in a different circumstance. yeah no i also made that circumstance up
