Sometimes, unfortunately, you have to put your foot down and never be nice to those filthy bastards by carefully choosing who gets to be in your platform. Start networking with the likes of EFF and other creatives' groups opposing AI slop, attend next year's DefCon to call attention to your plight and gain help to protect your art.

It works where uBlock is otherwise being cockblocked from working certain parts. I generally use Unhook to get rid of the comments and live chat section, besides changing my location to a non-Western country.

Yeah. Pretty much Vanilla ISIS.

Unhook should provide more personal control of experiences within Youtube. If I must watch something controversial like discussions about opposition to AI, I use Freetube so that I don't get bombarded with unnecessary suggestions.

The awful heft and size of the company-issue Samsung A25 makes me think about just how damn light the Nokia 8210 was. Life was then simple: enjoy life away from the keyboard, never distracted, and only text or call when it is really needed.

After the 8210 came Sony's K750, which had firsts for me: it can play music, and it can also take pretty pictures. My beef with it was the charger and earphone connector, and the not-so-responsive camera button.

Yeah, no fucking thanks to the techbros wanting all of humanity to embrace this monstrosity by arguing AI is the "new normal".

Lately I’ve been seeing Matthew Broderick advertising a new gambling app with Candy Crush type games, instead of sports or Vegas style games

It can only mean he has money problems.

Most people on their phones use the default browser, either Chrome or whatever Chromium-based the manufacturer includes. But otherwise it's the browser included with the Facebook app, as some are literally locked into the Facebook-and-Youtube walled garden.

Either way a has-been find themselves clawing up the wall.

Yeah, at least I'm neither Chinese nor American.

the sheer volume

Picking through hundreds or even thousands of shots and choosing about a few dozen good ones is, yeah, equally difficult.

Any more of that fat bastard, chances of mutiny will grow higher, not just one any individual.

Smash them up!

I don't know who are they, but they could just curate their online experience by looking for something that is actually organic and genuine, and drop their anchors on that.

Pasay is one of the most poorly-managed cities in MM. With a feudal mayor ruling over, it's practically run like a fiefdom in a sea of chaos.

Nope that shit. I'd rather deal with real HR.

Now I usually either have a PBJ or bread rolls or even soda crackers and bananas for breakfast.

This is indeed the era of Leibowicz, where important information is in threat of being destroyed by evil interests.

better social safety nets

Given the horrifying dashcam footage, that doesn't seem to keep some of their citizens on cars or trucks from plowing into other cars or people.
