I will not be silenced.
My amazing lawn mower escaped my yard and is destroying everything in its path, give me billions of dollars and uproot your entire workforce for my amazing lawn mower

How long until the internet is just unusable?
Websites have already been bloated for awhile now; I can't wait until everything is built with the bullshit machine, piling another gig of unnecessary dependencies into a page that humans aren't reading anyway.

So uhhhhhh… Apparently meta's muse "AI" is just straight up doxxing people to strangers on FB marketplace??? This has the potential to hurt so so many people, and I genuinely wonder how long before they roll out a fix for it.
Age verification is an egregious privacy violation, an inexcusable form of surveillance, and… it’s also voodoo bullshit that doesn’t work. It’s one of the reasons I’m proudest to support @eff.org, who have been leading the fight against the horrible practice for years: www.eff.org/issues/age-v...
I'm a passenger in a trip across Ohio right now and what the fuck is this shit.

Apparently human judgment is now the bottleneck.
