So yeah my wife posted a birthday video for me on her TikTok account and elsewhere, and it was flagged for:
"containing themes of nudity and sex"
It contains my upper chest hair (tank top) and a single kiss.
I don't know or care if AI and the AI slumlords are behind this Puritanization of society again but I'm about to be posting full on, full body nudes on the commercial social media networks at this rate.
Not the first time this has happened.

"I can't help but believe that in the future we'll see in the United States and throughout the Western World an increasing trend toward the next logical step: employee ownership. It's a path that benefits a free people." — Ronald Reagan, 1987
"Employee ownership that re-centres capital with the workers… where automation is embraced not as a threat to the future of the company but as a way to improve its performance because the workers who are the owners have confidence that they will not be the victims but the beneficiaries." — Jason Kenney
I wasn't expecting this!

"The No Kings demonstrations ran the gamut from hundreds of thousands of protesters in large, blue cities, to smaller crowds in small towns in Republican-dominated states. Together, they demonstrate that the administration’s claims to popularity are a lie."

What happens when "democracy" isn't part of our identity anymore?Anne Applebaum (Open Letters, from Anne Applebaum)
"Trump was totally unhinged last night after he found out how big the No Kings Protests were. He was posting weird AI videos of himself wearing crowns. Then he posted an AI video of himself flying a fighter jet and defecating on peaceful protestors at the No Kings protest in Manhattan. Yeah, that was not a typo. He posted a video of himself dropping feces on the faces of peaceful protestors."

Husband showed me how his new iphone has selected photos from when the kids were little and animated them to make fake videos.
We agreed this needs to be killed with fire ASAP.
The president.
Of the United States.
Used artificial intelligence.
To generate a video of himself.
Defecating on the American people.
And posted it to a social media site.
That he owns.
And there's no mention of it.
In the New York Times.
Instead, they went with this pressing news.
Unbelievable. Per U.S.Senator Merkley, the federal govt staged a FAKE RIOT a few nights ago in Portland. They marched what appeared to be peaceful protesters down a street — then unleashed pepper balls, tear gas, and flash-bangs that sounded like gunfire, while cameras rolled. 🎥💥
All to paint a picture of chaos and justify invoking the Insurrection Act. This is an outrageous abuse of power. #press

WHAT? why isn't my user authorized for access to action "access_pcsc" and how the fuck do I fix it?
This is actually a lot worse because you're using a screen reader.
A sighted person can just click to load a document, they can then read that document just by moving their eyes across the screen, with 0 interaction required except for scrolling. We have to interact with the computer constantly. The slower the computer, the worse each interaction is. This just causes a drag on everything you're trying to do.
@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space I really appreciate it. Again, I get that nobody cares about Win7, any work you could put in is an act of grace, as it were.Tech Singer (TweeseCake)
