I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

call me a hater but I don’t think it’s a good thing that we’re seeing so many more whales nowadays. there’s no way that + human contact is their evolutionary preference.

ProPublica@propublica.org · 2mo ago

ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote: https://propub.li/4veRIqA

Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?

We are seeing a very clear pattern of banning things that make Trumpists and their kids feel bad: - Books about colonialism, slavery and segregation - Challenging ideas about gender - Protests against genocide - Science generally It's a blanket ban on hard feelings. They called us snowflakes.

I do not like when the nerds who post graphs on here are all going "oof" and "jesus christ" at the same time

something to remember: fascism relies on ignorance. that's why it oppresses critical and independent thought. (it's also one of many reasons why fascists hate communists/socialists so much: communism/socialism hinges on ideas and intellectualism.) THE MORE YOU KNOW, BABY!

we could reduce the pressure on emergency services, reduce ambulance wait times and emergency room visits by preventing overdoses from occurring by implementing Overdose Prevention Services in B.C. calls for overdose response were 7% of all 911 calls in 2023 www.bcehs.ca/about/accoun...

I don’t think many people realize that the VPD are launching drone flights over the every day, sometimes multiple times per day They say they only record 5% of video streamed to HQ from those flights but civil libertarians want more disclosure Thoughts? More 👇 www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

A non-exhaustive list of reasons to get involved in local politics - the results of some elections are decided on the other side of the country. but in a local election, the decision is made right at home
