Elle, 28, she/her, art and memes, multifandom, art under tag #elle art,,,,, so I guess twitter is fucked huh

you say "i mostly just think people should be free to live their life as they please" and somebody will respond "oh so you think EVIL MURDERERS should be allowed to EVIL KILL PEOPLE" and its like.....

first of all obviously not, thats such a bad faith argument for the sake of arguing and i think you know it is

second of all its weird thats the first thing you thought of? its weird that you went to such an extreme? since you allowed bad faith arguments into the discussion i could argue its reasonable for me to think you might wanna evil murder someone based on how quickly you thought of that

third of all and perhaps most importantly. evil murderers already evil kill people. not being allowed to hasnt stopped them so far. thats uh. thats why its called murder and not silly joes knifey knifey end a lifey power hour fun time

I can clearly remember the moment I first realised my mother and I were living on completely different planes of existence. I was 7 years old and I came home from my school's first track and field day having placed second or third in every event. the teachers had been making jokes all afternoon about how many times they had to call my name. my friends thought I was cool as shit. my enemies thought I was cool as shit too, come to think of it. I was proud as hell. so I get home with the entire front of my shirt covered in ribbons like I was a military dictator who'd awarded himself every medal, I walk into the kitchen and tell my mum all about my day, and she goes "oh, that must be disappointing not getting any firsts." and I'm like no?? first of all the first place ribbons are red and I don't like red. second of all look at me. there's literally nowhere left on my body for accolades. I am fucking Jacked of All Trades. how could this possibly be a disappointment.

They’re now posting sympathetic articles about the ICE agent who murdered Renee Good that are like “He is a good Christian and a father and husband.” like yeah, that tracks. I bet he is a Christian family man. They love to work the least Christlike jobs imaginable and kill people and play the victim.

If you are on a Windows 11 computer, pause everything you are doing for one minute and:

  1. Open computer settings
  2. Click on Accessibility on the left-hand menu
  3. Scroll down the Accessibility menu and click on the Keyboard Option
  4. Under the "related settings" tab, click "Typing" which should have a description of "spellcheck, autocorrect, text suggestions."
  5. Turn off the AI "correct misspelled words"
  6. 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.
