why can rockstar games institutionalise you for life like nikita kruschev for being autistic
He didn’t steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.
Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.
Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion.This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.
And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?
Capitalism is disgusting.
Nobody should buy GTA til they free Arion Kurtaj
he didn’t even get to stand *trial*. because he’s autistic. he’s in an institution for life for hacking while autistic, without trial.
OP: Look at the ‘fire-butterfly’ we managed to film. The picture really doesn’t do its beauty justice. (cr 鸟王艾雅康，观鸟景jhin，生态摄影阿博特，毕强，Sjxxphotograph，Fische，鱼摆摆，Shanalotte，冰鹡鸰）
I love this Chinese guy who is so excited to show everyone this really cool bird. This is why the internet was created, so we could show strangers on the other side of the world cool things we know about. Xie xie gege <3333333
According to documents filed in a lawsuit by the state of Illinois and city of Chicago against DHS, the agency “retains all biometric information taken using the Mobile Fortify app, including that of US citizens, for 15 years.”
…
By the time DHS publicly disclosed the existence of Mobile Fortify, it already had been used more than 100,000 times since its launch, according to court filings.
…
Advocates like Wessler are now seeing facial recognition technology and other surveillance tools used not only to verify immigration status, but also to identify and track Americans who protest ICE or criticize the agency.
…
DHS is now looking to consolidate its various facial recognition and fingerprint databases into a single biometric platform, according to recent reporting by Wired. And in February, reports emerged that data analytics firm Palantir landed a new five-year, $1 billion software purchase agreement with DHS
If you are on a Windows 11 computer, pause everything you are doing for one minute and:
Open computer settings
Click on Accessibility on the left-hand menu
Scroll down the Accessibility menu and click on the Keyboard Option
Under the “related settings” tab, click “Typing” which should have a description of “spellcheck, autocorrect, text suggestions.”
Turn off the AI “correct misspelled words”
and most importantly: turn off Typing Insights.
[ID: a screenshot of the above mentioned Windows 11 settings, showing that Typing Insights is now turned off, with the following description from Microsoft:
“Windows is using artificial intelligence to help you type To help you save time and type efficiently, Windows can learn to suggest words, autocorrect spelling mistakes, and interpret swiped typing. Take a look at the insights below to see up-to-the-minute stats on how Windows has learned to improve typing for you. These stats are stored only on this device and Microsoft does not collect the typing insights data.”
End ID]
“But Mx. November, it says right there Microsoft doesn’t collect the typing insights data!”
I mean, yeah, it says that….. for *now.*
It also only specifies that Microsoft themselves don’t collect it, and they wouldn’t have made this something that I was automatically, secretly opted in for without my knowledge if they didn’t have something to be gained by me not knowing it exists!
I only found this because a cat walked on the keyboard and turned on Filter Keys and while trying to figure out why my keyboard was just making chirping noises instead of typing, I happened to click on “typing insights” by accident.
Generative AI, and especially AI that is used to “personalize” and track your activity across the web and on your computer are never going to be in your best interest, it is always going to serve these companies in whatever way will line their pockets the most, and all it takes is updating their terms of service once, and then all of that data they promised they weren’t collecting suddenly all belongs to them.
it’s on windows 10 too. you can just search “Typing Insights” in the settings searchbar to find it
absolutely boggles my mind how so many social media sites do NOT want you scrolling without an account. can’t even click on an instagram profile while not being logged in without it blocking you. even if you put it in the url, it only lets you scroll like twice before it prompts you to log in. fucking youtube won’t let me watch videos on my phone anymore because i use firefox focus and don’t want to log in every time i wanna watch a video so it’s instead flagged me as a bot. i also think social media sites are drastically overestimating how badly i “need” to use their sites. if you won’t let me browse someone’s profile or watch a damn video on the Browsing Profiles and Watching Videos social media sites then i will simply leave. the power of chucking your phone into the metaphorical ocean. i hope i hurt their metrics every time i close out of a tab <3
