I fucking hate TikTok speak
"dih" just say "dick"
FFS I hate how advertisers have control over language. They do not deserve that power.
EDIT: It's been pointed out that in addition to being cowardly deference to advertisers, it's also culturally appropriating AAVE.

Algo-speak is a language of fascism in my eyes.
It's dehumanising, culture-erasing (algorithms are biased to "White English") and disarming.
The appropriation (something new I learnt) is a "great" example of it. If you want an Eastern Bloc equivalent of this, I recommend looking up "Normalization in Czechoslovakia".

Software has been "built by machines, directed by people" for decades.
That's what compilers and linkers do, that's what uncountable lines of Bash and endless CI/CD pipelines are – machines building software, directed by people.
And for decades, the bottleneck has not been churning out code. It was code review, it was quality control, it was bug fixing. AI slop makes that *worse*, not better:

You still deserve privacy, even if you:
Anyone asserting encryption is a tool for crime is either painfully misinformed or is attempting to manipulate legislators to gain oppressive power over the people.
Encryption is not a crime,
encryption is a shield.
Encryption protects you from cyberattack, identity theft, discrimination, doxxing, stalking, sexual violence, physical harm, and much more.
For safety, for privacy, for democracy, and for all our human rights, it's critical that we defend our right to encryption.

Encryption is not a crime, encryption protects us all. Encryption, and especially end-to-end encryption, is an essential tool to protect everyone online. Attempts to undermine encryption are an attack to our fundamental right to privacy and an attack to our inherent right to security and safety.
