I am looking for a Entry Level Remote Data Entry job.. I have never really done any data entry in my life, but as I live in the suburbs in New Jersey in the United States, and do NOT drive… most other jobs are pretty much off limits to me. I have experience using Excel (and Excel like programs), word processors, and computers. If you are looking for someone to do some data entry work I am willing to send you my resume. Just direct message me, and I will email you my resume.

Calling all the PhDs on the Fediverse to make monumental annoyances of themselves (and honestly, who better) ...

“Europe is a regulatory morass that is built on bureaucracy, and the layering and layering of rules that constrain economic activity.”

Scott Bessant, US Treasury Secretary

To which Europeans say:

Flint, Michigan
East Palestine, Ohio
Uniontown, Alabama

These places are global bywords for the poisoning of people and nature when you have no regulatory oversight of business and you prioritise ‘economic activity’ at all costs over health and safety.

I have always found that the quickest way to get your own back, is to pee into the wind.

This gave me a laugh.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide was famously written by correspondents like Ford Prefect. It wasn’t an #AI that made shit up based on some random sub-ether drivel. As a result, it was useful.

God, #DouglasAdams would have fucking hated #ElonMusk.

Curiously enough, an edition of The Guide that fell through a time warp from a thousand years in the future defined the executive board of X as “a bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came”.

Yes please

@pluralistic Hi, we are a group of parents in Vancouver that are trying to push back against local school board plans to deploy Microsoft Copilot into classrooms.

We have started a petition to show that parents are concerned and do not consent to their children using genAI in classrooms.

It would help so much if you could share it.

What #Grok generates is non-consensual and abusive. It is not "AI porn", it's AI sexual abuse materials. "#AISAM", let's call it.

Sex work is work, there are plenty of sex workers trying to make a living publishing their own works.

Conflating porn with sexual abuse materials is how we get to a place where independent sex workers get ostracized and lose their livelihood through being banned by payment processors, while a fascist oligarch can materially benefit from sexual abuse materials.

There are people who will hate you because you are the face of changes that they refuse to make. And then there are the people who will hate you because you are the face of the changes that they refuse to acknowledge are possible because they are so rare in the world to witness.

I understand who elected Trump. My question is who the fuck elected the United States?
