Of those 15% I bet 100% vote for Deform UK.

The only thing people should be giving up is their Amazon Prime subscriptions and AWS hosting. You're very likely getting ripped off and overcharged if you use AWS. Also although I recommend ordering from other websites if you have no choice but to use Amazon you don't need Prime for free shipping, just wait until you have enough stuff in your cart such that you're over the free shipping threshold. Don't order unnecessary stuff to get over the threshold.

This is good but no matter what I don't think Google should have such a monopoly over the web.

Solution: cancel your Amazon Prime subscription. Remember that Bezos also funded Trump's inauguration and he ruined the Washington Post.

For what it's worth I read the whole thing in what felt like one or two minutes and I don't think I'm a particularly fast reader. I think it looks longer because there are not many blank lines. It seems well written but I guess I do slightly get that AI feeling too, it just might be because he/she is a good writer so now people think good writing is AI, sad it's coming down to this.

I totally agree with you. I literally made my username "BoycottTwitter" because it's so important and so basic.

Good point! I fixed the sentence.

I think it's time to make a serious push into getting people to boycott Microsoft along with OpenAI. Windows 11 is now a bloated surveillance operating system and Office 365 raised their prices to pay for an AI feature based on OpenAI's LLMs. OpenAI donated $25 million to Trump.

It's hard to avoid right now, particularly if you're a user of Microsoft ecosystem products.

Solution:

Windows -> Linux
Office 365 -> Libreoffice to replace most of Office 365 and to replace Outlook consider Thunderbird or Seamonkey
Edge/Chrome -> Firefox or a fork of Firefox.

 

Grok is now generating CSAM images. I really hope this will motivate Twitter holdouts to finally stop using the website. I'll admit the first part of the article where they "report" on what Grok said is kind of lame but the fact is Grok is generating bad pictures of minors.

Some are moving to Bluesky. After this happened Bluesky experienced a surge in registrations according to https://bskycheck.com/stats.php

Keep talking about it and never give up! If you convince even one person it's a victory!

Then what would?
