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.

Leans over

Oh no this Linux Mint installation guide just fell out of my bag

Oh no all you need is a USB and the ability to follow a simple set of directions intended for beginners

And never have to fight Windows' deliberately hostile settings again

Oh nooooo

Linux Mint is an elegant, easy to use, up to date and comfortable desktop operating system.

Useful tools for both people who are ready to ditch Windows, and those who can't for one reason or another.

something kinda funny to me how Hornet tells an NPC she doesnt need sustenance much due to her nature (Wyrm parenthood maybe?)

...but then later you get a tool thats basically just soup that buffs your speed and damage

and hm hornet do you think maybe theres a connection there

heads-up: that screenshot from Perry is edited

original tweet just says HIPAA

checking the version history of the tweet shows the edit was just clarifying this is PARTLY why HIPAA exists and not ENTIRELY why.

while this edit is relatively harmless, it should be worrying to see it spread so widely unchecked

With the United States facing a daunting array of problems at home and abroad, leading historians courteously reminded the nation Thursday that when making tough choices, it never hurts to stop a moment, take a look at similar situations from the past, and then think about whether the decisions people made back then were good or bad.

According to the historians, by looking at things that have already happened, Americans can learn a lot about which actions made things better versus which actions made things worse, and can then plan their own actions accordingly.
