Just went to the #netflix browser site for the first time in a few months. Signing out is now about 4x as long and 100x as annoying. Before: click your profile picture, click "sign out." Now:

  • Click profile picture
  • Go to profile (settings?)
  • Find "sign out", click it
  • Click nag screen telling you you don't have to sign out! You can stay logged in forever!
  • #FuckThis #Privacy #Family

    you know what? f this. at this point in time we could as well stick with the acceleration-ism. drop that shit like an iranian drone and empty the world's inventories before winter arrives. 🤷‍♀️

    Fuck This: Your Acquaintance’s Instagrams About Her New Baby Aren’t Nearly As Good As What She Posted When Single And Manic

    So the US #Census Bureau is apparently going to lock down Census data unless you sign up for a "give us your personal data" API key.

    Fuck. Everything. About. This.

    I don't know if "normal people" understand how corrosive and totalitarian this is.

    My university system (SUNY) has mandated that all gen ed courses with quantitative or information literacy components include a bunch of stuff about #AI. The good news is that we are not mandated to cheerlead AI or teach people how to use it, but the latter is almost mandated by the language of what we have to address. We also have to have specific assignments about AI.

    My assignments will not leave students with a false sense that AI is benign or ethically OK. I expect some pushback, but this is one of the things I'm willing to get ugly about. Plenty of faculty have jumped on board the university/system administration's many other messages about teaching "ethical use" of #AI, integrating it into all classes to teach students how to use it "effectively" and "non-harmfully," etc. You can probably guess, from my tone, what I think of this and how many swear words my thoughts might contain.

    I'm not required to incorporate content about about other technologies like cryptocurrency, NFTs, crowdsourced knowledge bases, goFundMe, or (heaven forbid) open-source software. Nope, just AI. This feels like the corporate managers of #US #highered being as corporate as their sad little suit-wearing, jargon-spewing selves can possibly be.

    I really hope we come out of this someday understanding just how anti-labor, anti-environment, anti-peace, anti-freedom, and basically anti-human this top-down push for #genAI is. Fuck everything about this.

    I'm sure the hundreds of thousands of #laidoff #techworkers would love to hear this, that is, if they can access the Internet from the burgeoning #tentcities of newly #homeless tech workers growing to monstrous proportions outside of #seattle and #siliconvalley. #microslop #microsoft #aislop #fuckthis
    I can’t rely on ANYONE the only consistency in this life is the turning of pages and the ink on paper #fuckthis
