I’m only letting my latest Brother printer connect to my computer through the USB cable. No Internet connection at all.
Reddit is just a bunch of bots, jerking each other purple. They don’t have any content worth locking.
I also recommend downloading StreetComplete, which lets you contribute to the OpenStreetMaps database.
But AI is the wave of the future! The hot, NEW thing that everyone wants! ** furious jerking off motion **
This. I think the best way to make the Internet less sh*tty is to get away from Google search.
I like the SearX search engine. It gives old-school, relevant search results, not google ranked ones.
It’s also spread out over many separate instances, so you can pick the one that best suits your search needs:

When a writer copies someone else’s work without cites or compensation, it’s called “plagiarism.” But when an AI does it, it’s called “LLM training.”
“The government shouldn’t be complicit in harming students or impeding parents’ ability to decide what their kids see by subsidizing unsupervised access to inappropriate content,”
Like Fox News or OAN.
This. Eventually, some billionaire will buy up BlueSky and make it shitty. It’s much harder for one person to take over a defederated platform, spread out over hundreds of instances in several countries.
The AI hardware isn’t for us. It’s for Google and Microsoft, so they can steal your computer’s CPU time and hard drive space so they can build their own personal Skynets. (Same thing with CoPilot, which requires 50gigs of your hard drive space. You’re also paying for the privilege of being spied on, which is nice for them, I guess.)

If a million porn sites can make streaming video work, then YouTube is replaceable.
When you consider the billions that are at stake in cramming “AI” into computers, cars, phones, agit-prop generation and military hardware, I there’s a non-zero chance that his death wasn’t accidental. Maybe a second coroner’s opinion is in order.
5·7 months ago6.5 gigs. “Proceed with installation? y/n”
Yeah, I guess. Fark getting any work done today.
This. And if folks are worried that their computer’s hardware won’t be supported (wifi, touchscreen, mousepad, soundcard or a weird mobile graphics driver) I recommend testing it by booting from a live linux flash drive. If everything works with the live version, it should work with the installed version, too.
Ever wonder why websites that use Captchas prefer pictures of cars, busses, crosswalks, stop signs, bicycles, motorcycles and stairs?
They’re using YOU to train their AI models.
Also, bring back gauges, instead of idiot-lights. It’s nice to know when a problem is beginning (overheating, etc) before it becomes a crisis when you have no choice but to pull over.
For the 1000th time Tesla: don’t call it “autopilot” when it’s nothing more than a cruise control that needs constant attention.
Once again. Companies do NOT pay tariffs. They pass on those costs of those tariffs to their customers. YOU are gonna pay that extra 25% not Apple.
