wikipedia no longer being anywhere near the top of search results when looking up anything feels eviscerating

[ichorandpride]

#they really said “you can’t use wiki as an academic source-use our garbage AI that’s even less reliable”#and you can’t even opt out of it

no but you can FORCE it away. use ublock origin and copy paste the blacklist i made into the filters to be able to remove the bullshit AI overview that google forces. it also removes youtube's forced ads (at least until they fix it)

you can also use the ublacklist extension and use this blacklist of AI image generation websites to curate your google image results

there are ALWAYS ways around stuff. it's just a matter of looking into it and asking around

[miskiart]

DO THIS IT IS SO EASY TO DO JUST DO IT

[vulpineamethyst]

the uBlock Origin folks are already doing their best to address YouTube's ad fuckery; if you are still experiencing ads, disable all other ad-blocking features (Firefox's built-in tracking protection qualifies, as does ad-blocking features in YouTube enhancement extensions) and don't use third-party filter lists, because those can interfere with uBO's own efforts. (if you use SponsorBlock, you can continue to, it's not actually 'ad-blocking'.)

for Google's AI shit specifically, there's https://udm14.com/ which takes advantage of Google's own bypass.

Just wanted to share some shockingly good news in these difficult times. The full article is really worth reading. [Find it here]

[overclockedopossum]

I really want people to pay attention to how this was achieved because it sure as hell wasn't by meeting them halfway on policy but it also wasn't by seeing everyone who has ever been on The Wrong Side as fundamentally a bigot, incapable of change and a problem solveable only by Getting Rid Of Them through unspecified means.

It wasn't just one speech either. It was Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell existing alongside these republicans, being their coworkers, interacting constructively with them day to day as trans people with emphasis on the people. As Zooey Zephyr said:

“Howell & I have built solid relationships with Republicans and those relationships change hearts, minds, and (eventually) votes. It is painful, grueling work. But it makes a difference.”

Please

Please

PLEASE, stop with the 'Skull de Mort' thing in KHR.

It's from Harry Potter crossovers. It's from dumb HP crossovers where people decided Skull was going to name himself after fucking Voldemort for some reason I never understood or cared to try because it was like nails on chalkboard and STILL IS. Skull has no canon surname. The world is your oyster. Choose something, ANYTHING, else for the love of Old Man Kawahira's Soggy Fucking Noodles.

Also, 'de Mort', 'Little Death'? Slang for failed orgasm, or passing out from cumming too hard.

[araceil]

Yes, the 'de Mort' comes from Harry Potter. I'm sorry to break the bubble.

I'm sorry. I was there. I saw it happen. It is real. This shit came from the HP crossover community.

I am sorry that reighost and myself started the KHR fandom's absolute brainrot obsession with Skull. We saw a fun parallel and ran into the fucking sunset with it. People followed us. But the whole 'de Mort' thing? No. Not us. Not canon. Just HP fuckery. I'm sorry you had to find out this way.

Now imagine watching it happen, the confusion, the horror, the copious use of the back button whenever it appeared in a fic..... y'all, the fact I still see it being used in our year of 2025 is PAINFUL to me.

I try not to shit on other people's enjoyment of things, I hit the back button, i go my separate way, i keep hunting for something I WILL like.

but this is so.... widespread....

peace is no longer an option ><

Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years

: Can't run Windows 11? Don't want to? There are surprisingly legal options

The 2021 LTSC is available in the plain vanilla version, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, with end of mainstream support scheduled January 12, 2027, and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021, with an extended end date of January 13, 2032. They are not quite the same as the ordinary consumer editions of Windows 10. They don't include the Windows Store or any "modern" apps. Apart from the Edge browser, they have almost nothing else: no OneDrive, no Weather or Contacts apps, and no Windows Mail or whatever it's called this week.

...no OneDrive, Copilot AI, or all of the other useless crapware cluttering up the Start menu? AND patches/support through 2032??

Don't threaten me with a good time, Microsoft.

Jesus Christ is this REAL?! Can I... have Windows for YEARS more with no AI shit?!

Now that's some positive thinking right there! I love it!

[leefsnakesnake]

There's an EU initiative going on right now that essentially boils down to wanting to force videogame publishers with paid games and/or games with paid elements such as DLC, expansions and microtransactions to leave said games in a playable state after they end support, or in simpler terms, make them stop killing games.

A "playable state" would be something like an offline mode for previously always online titles, or the ability for people to host their own servers where reasonably possible just to name some examples.

I don't think I need to tell anyone that having something you paid for being taken from you is bad, which is a thing that routinely happens with live service and other always online games with a notable recent example being The Crew which is now permanently unplayable.

Any EU citizen is eligible to sign the initiative, but only once and if you mess up that's it. You can find it here. (https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en)

Even if you're not European or you signed it already, you can share this initiative with anyone who is, even if they don't care about videogames specifically because this needs a million signatures and there is different thresholds that need to be met for each EU country for their votes to even count and could also be a precedent for other similar practices like when Sony removed a bunch of Discovery TV content people paid for.

[veranthia]

SUPPORT BELOW 50% OF THE THRESHOLD IN THESE COUNTRIES:

Bulgaria - 35% Croatia - 45% Cyprus - 12% (!!!!) Czechia - 47% Greece - 27% Italy - 41% Latvia - 43% Luxembourg - 20% Malta - 11% (!!!!) Romania - 48% Slovakia - 47% Slovenia - 38%

SEVEN countries out of 27 have met the threshold so far. Deadline is 31st July, 2025.

[seananmcguire]

This is exactly why I hate most cancer charity outreach. They always lead with "this person got the BEST CARE and had the BEST SUPPORT NETWORK, and so they got the miracle. Don't you want the miracle for your loved ones?"

I wanted the miracle so badly I damn near killed myself trying to get it. I spent every cent I could. I loved her harder than I have ever loved anything in my life.

And we got no miracle.

"You just didn't love enough" is cruel and unfair.

On November 7, 2024, Denmark used a racist, culturally biased "parenting competency" test to remove a 2 hour old baby, Zammi, from her loving indigenous Greenlandic Inuit mother, Keira, because her native language, which uses minute facial expressions to communicate, will not be able to "[prepare] the child for the social expectations and codes that are necessary to navigate in Danish society." This test had been recommended not to be used at the federal level before this happened but certain municipalities, including the one this happened in, chose to continue to use it regardless. Not only is this blatantly racist but also violates multiple declarations and conventions that Denmark has signed that protect the rights of indigenous people.

Please sign this petition to help Keira to get her baby back.

Bring a little girl inuk greenlander ZAMMI BACK HOME

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

[emptydragonseverywhere]

Hey, it's really important for Keira to get 50,000 signatures on this petition before her court date in early April 2025. Please sign if you haven't already to help a mother and a people stand up to colonialism and for indigenous rights.

SHEN JIU IN A LAVENDER MARRIAGE MAKES SO FUCKING SENSE

I still can't believe that that man didn't make a whole harem with prostitutes like… Shen Jiu and his 10 bestie having sleepovers in QJP would reduce his qi deviation (and thus his anger issues) by 10

Sj : here is the deal, you marry me & help me to fall asleep and I give you money, statut

Sj : AND you are free to sleep with anyone you want no string attached. We can divorce whenever you want.

Sj: you just have to cuddle with me

Also I think it would be really funny to see LQG interact with these women LMAO they would 100% hate his ass for starting a fight in their brothel

[carlosateaworm]

at first people are thinking "those poor women they were bought against their will!" Then they actually talk to the women in question abt SJ and they actually like him??? Like they're praising him and calling him cute??

[achillesuwu]

Imagine if they are so bewildered about it because SJ’s harem just… KEEP GROWING and these wives don’t mind and even are praising their husband new wife !! (wanna find a lesbian wife ? Call Shen Jui crystal 999 and the wedding ceremony will be arranged at 5 pm ♥️)
