"Governments battling online privacy strengthen online privacy solutions. VPNs became popularised and mainstream by porn restrictions, so now governments have to battle VPNs. Next they will have to battle private servers and people creating their own VPNs."

Lawmakers Can't Ban VPNs No Matter How Hard They Try

Governments can make it harder to get around internet restrictions, but eliminating the workarounds is another matter entirely.

Oh, are AI haters becoming "unhinged" now? Does it seem like we're everywhere no matter what you do? Are we ruining being online for you? Are you feeling like you can't do anything without us making your experience worse? Is it like we can't be escaped even though you want nothing to do with us?

A fellow author went on a food morality lecture in my post and now I'm blocked cos I refused to budge on my stance: THERE IS NO FOOD OR FOOD GROUP THAT IS INHERENTLY "BAD". CONSUME WHAT YOU WANT IN MODERATION. My gods. A lady in perimenopause can't even joke about her fucking intestines these days.

Patrick Stewart? 😭😭😭😭😭 Fuck you, 2026.

FINALLY listening to Dr. Jennifer Lynn Barnes' RWA "writing for your id" talk that @zoeyorkwrites.bsky.social recommended me to YEARS ago lol.

This whole thing is absolutely appalling from top to bottom. The hypocrisy of Meta banning SWers from the platform while allowing Muse-bot versions to replace them, Meta's monetization of SWer identities through Muse roleplay, and the dangerous erasure of consent in the Muse chats.

Ashley Lake@ashleylatke.bsky.social · 5d ago

Muse is generating sexual deepfakes of Vanniall and letting people chat with an AI bot based on her, which created imagery based on copyrighted material not on Meta properties. It also encouraged dangerous fan behavior and can let people find her home address. She’s thinking of suing, any lawyers?

For @wired.com, I spoke with Macmillan and PRH staff about AI at the rest of the Big Five. I also spoke with bestselling authors who've gone to "war" with publishers over AI use and are now demanding disclosures and threatening to leave their publishers altogether. www.wired.com/story/macmil...

I did a freelance test with PRH over a month ago for a proofreader position, and I've yet to hear back (and I'd hear back if it was even a no). I'm starting to think there's a reason...
