My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

Every Windows 11 PC is now an Al
PC with Copilot at the center of
it all.
Here's how to get rid of Copilot
completely from your computer
(1/3)

ABI Bouhmaida
@forgoodcode
1/ Settings App
> Personalization
> Taskbar
> Other System Tray Icons
> Switch "Microsoft 365 Copilot App" Off
This hides Copilot from your
taskbar

$(9) ABI Bouhmaida @forgoodcode 2/ Press Win + R > Type in ‘regedit’ > Navigate to "HKEY _CURRENT_USER\ Software \ Policie s\Microsoft\ Windows" > Right-click on the "Windows" Key > New > Key > Name the new key "WindowsCopilot’ > Right-click on the new key EY > DWORD (32-bit) Value$ @forgoodcode
3/
> Name the value
"TurnOffWindowsCopilot’
> Double-click the name of the value
> Set the "Value Data" to 1
> Restart your computer
Congrats! Copilot is now completely
gone from your computer.
Hope this helps

Conventions chairs in the US: Just outright ban cos-playing folks in mil/swat looking tactical gear, full stop.

With things as they are right now with masked vigilantes with federal badges kidnapping people, its not safe for attendees or for said cos-players running around looking like ICE agents.

A woman, pictured as a brain suspended in a floating robot with a screen for each eye and one screen for her mouth is pictured in the bottom right of the image. She's cross-eyed, biting her lower lip and looking aroused. She's depicted imagining herself as a human with a thin frame and rounded tits and a pregnant belly. Her knees are knocked together, and one arm is behind her, supporting her weight. Her left hand is in front of her belly, playing with her cock. She's looking to her right over her glasses. She has short cropped dark green/black hair. The dialogue pictured reads: "If I were... Human, now... I'd fill my skinvelope with wriggling, pulsing organs... strong lungs. an active gut. and... a fertile womb!"

I know I'm always banging on about this, but food banks can do so much more with your donation if you give money rather than food itself.

skáld @danglinghemmie.bsky.social · Oct 22

food banks have already been under pressure over the past several years, and with SNAP benefits expiring they're going to be the only safety net for a lot of people

please donate what you can. $100 can feed several families for a month because of the discounts and purchasing power they have

Hilarious.

My bank can just do a stop payment at my request though. That's free. That takes 15 minutes on the phone. And it actively harms them because payment processors do NOT like when you get a stop payment order placed against you.

What you do with this information is between you and God.

🚨UPDATE: In response to the boycott that erupted over the weekend, Disney decided to update the cancellation process on their website, making it MORE DIFFICULT FOR THEIR SUBSCRIBERS TO STOP GIVING THEM MONEY.

This underhanded strategy hasn’t retained customers as they hoped.

Hey, so...Covid rates have gotten real high. Maybe change your behavior to fit this new risk profile? Stop eating indoors at restaurants, mask on mass transit, that kind of thing?

A graph of Covid rates. It's more complex than can be described here, but the important bit is that the rates have gone up a lot since late July, nearly to the heights of last winter.

Hey Firefox users.

Screenshot from a Tumblr post by ralfmaximus: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.

Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:

If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.

Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out

Oh my gosh, getting in touch with the BBB WORKED. PayPal is restoring my account and I should have access to my money again.

If you are in the US or deal with the US PayPal and your account is randomly, without warning, and without explanation closed down, file a complaint with the BBB!

your yearly reminder 💅 #bunnart #pridemonth

comic, panels 1-4. text: Oh, hey there - happy pride month!! this is a time to revel in your own queer beauty, friends. always remember, stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and DON'T police the identities of other people! ESPECIALLY folx you do not know! That kind of behavior is NOT congruous with pride, and creates in-fighting, which only benefits our oppressors, who will more readily kill us all while we bicker over issues that aren't VITAL.

comic, panels 5-8. text: What's vital for pride, is that you understand YOURSELF. It is NOT your job to define everthing else. You are NOT being paid to do so. You may not understand or agree with someone's being. That's okay. It is NOT OKAY to use it to justify your violence towards that person. That makes YOU the oppressor. Corporations, cops, and our own covernments do not need more help. This community survives because of everyone in it. It survives because of me. It survives because of YOU. It survives because of, and for, all of us.

comic, panels 9-12. text: While we're here, i'll also make some suggestions for ways you can show pride even more. Read up on our collective history. Marsha P. Johnson. The Aids Epidemic. Gender expression, ESPECIALLY in BIPOC cultures. There's so much to learn about, to feel pride in. To respect. Donate to LGBTQIA+ organizations. Trevor Project, Trans Lifeline. Direct action is as simple as sending 5 dollars to a friend in need. And of course, remember LOVE. It has gotten us this far. Live long, prosper, ACAB, peace.

just install it from our website instead of an app store. A PWA is easier for us to develop & maintain, and it also means Pillowfort won't have to worry about app store content rules. Learn more at the link below!

Half-formed thought here but another way we should be pushing back against AI is by all making the choice to talk even more loudly about real human artists’ work we’re currently enjoying. We decide collectively how much airspace each piece of art takes up. If you like something, tell somebody.
