they're both idiots but that's okay. we like them like this

The filter relies on manually curated open-source blocklists, including the ‘nuclear’ list, provided by uBlockOrigin and uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist,” DuckDuckGo said in a post on X. “While it won’t catch 100% of AI-generated results, it will greatly reduce the number of AI-generated images you see.

I think every computer user needs to read this because holy fucking shit this is fucking horrible.

So Windows has a new feature incoming called Recall where your computer will first, monitor everything you do with screenshots every couple of seconds and "process that" with an AI.

Hey, errrr, fuck no? This isn't merely because AI is really energy intensive to the point that it causes environmental damage. This is because it's basically surveilling what you are doing on your fucking desktop.

This AI is not going to be on your desktop, like all AI, it's going to be done on another server, "in the cloud" to be precise, so all those data and screenshot? They're going to go off to Microsoft. Microsoft are going to be monitoring what you do on your own computer.

Now of course Microsoft are going to be all "oooh, it's okay, we'll keep your data safe". They won't. Let me just remind you that evidence given over from Facebook has been used to prosecute a mother and daughter for an "illegal abortion", Microsoft will likely do the same.

And before someone goes "durrr, nuthin' to fear, nuthin to hide", let me remind you that you can be doing completely legal and righteous acts and still have the police on your arse. Are you an activist? Don't even need to be a hackivist, you can just be very vocal about something concerning and have the fucking police on your arse. They did this with environmental protesters in the UK. The culture war against transgender people looks likely to be heading in a direction wherein people looking for information on transgender people or help transitioning will be tracked down too. You have plenty to hide from the government, including your opinions and ideas.

In addition, Influenza sufferers would stop being contagious about five to seven days after first showing symptoms, but with COVID-19, you may not stop being contagious for weeks after fully fighting off the infection—that is, if you even start having symptoms at all.

Even if you don’t develop symptoms of COVID-19 while carrying it, you are still highly contagious, and it’s believed that you may be even more contagious than those who do show symptoms.

Originally, tests were showing around 60% of carriers did not show any symptoms, but it is now apparent that even up to 90% of carriers may never even know they’re infected without being tested.

They don’t have anywhere near the amount of resources to test everyone for it, even just the people who are showing symptoms and actively seeking to be tested, let alone asymptomatic carriers who wouldn’t have a reason to believe they’d need to be tested!

This is a disease that by its very nature is impossible to properly track and contain.

Once you had Influenza and survived, you would become immune to it—HOWEVER, with COVID-19, not only is there no evidence that people who have survived become immune to reinfection by it, but there is actually significant evidence to the contrary! Beating COVID-19 may not keep you from getting it again!

And even if you do beat it, COVID-19 leaves you with permanent lung damage and in some cases vascular damage, kidney damage, liver damage, and neurological damage, which may last for decades if not the rest of your life! Which, of course, means that should you get infected with it again, or infected by something similar, your body will have a much lower chance of successfully fighting it!

COVID-19 is not Influenza. It is several times worse than Influenza, and it is people’s failure to understand this that will cause the further impending waves of it to be much more deadly than the second waves of Influenza.

Officials are now saying that they expect COVID-19 to last into 2022, with a theoretical vaccine only being developed and mass produced by 2021, and that’s if things go well. There’s no guarantee that we’ll actually find a vaccine that soon, or be able to produce and distribute it widely enough to completely curb successive waves of it.

And, if course, that’s not accounting for the fact that there are different strains of COVID-19, and a vaccine that works on one may not work on another, just like yearly flu vaccines.

It’s fun to stay at the Y M M M!

Unless you favorite a page, it automatically clears it after 7 days, which is awesome if you hate clearing tabs like I do.

They plant trees everywhere.

Ecosia updates you on their progress- not with annoying update notifications, but with a button you can click as you type up your search if you’re curious.

The tree count is shown just beneath the search bar.

It is an app too and only takes up 18.2 MB. That’s the equivalent of nine live pictures on your phone.

You can view your own tree count. Mine’s 2,475 trees. I have had the app for six months. Do you know how much acreage that is? It’s a heckin’ ton of acres.
