CBC released an interview with Christina Walker, the Vancouver School Board's Digital Literacy Mentor.

VSB are planning to put Copilot into schools, and this interview has many key omissions and mis-truths that are important to correct and clarify.

@tinoeberl oder man nutzt einfach #Ironfox bzw #Waterfox und muss überhaupt nichts deaktivieren weil der Krempel dort überhaupt nicht drin ist.
Und zur Suche nutzt man #DuckDuckgo mit der Option #NoAI und ist so ziemlich definitiv fertig mit #KI

#125 is the fifth and final day of the red-winged avariel.

#Art #NoAI #MastoArt #FediArt #DailyDrawing #DigitalDrawing #DigitalArt #DigitalPainting #Avariel

A digital painting of a red-winged elf woman with a medium skin color facing the viewer straight-on. She has a slight smile but an otherwise neutral expression. She wears a small variety of gold earrings in either ear, a gold hoop in her septum, and a gold stud in her left nostril. She wears a saffron tunic-style top tucked loosely into a blue cloth wrap. A violet shawl is pinned so that it leaves one shoulder bare to the sleeve below; the pin shows the icon of a red four-pointed star and a blue crescent. Partially detailed are a pair of very large red wings at her back. Her dark red hair is curly natural. Embers float down between the viewer and the avariel, glowing with heat. Flanking her head are words in a constructed script called Vine. The artist's signature, "Fc 2/26" is to the right side of her neck and to the left on the drawing.

She wears a small variety of gold earrings in either ear, a gold hoop in her septum, and a gold stud in her left nostril.

I was asked about the @Vivaldi Browser. It is a powerful tool and has some nice features, but I cannot recommend it because it is not fully open source. Following GNU Freedom 1, I believe users must have the right to study and change their software, not just audit some of the files.

With Firefox now introducing a one click AI opt out in version 148, it remains the superior recommendation for people who value privacy and code transparency over proprietary UI features. Don't get me wrong, I am completely #NoAI but knowing a browser has a toggle I can verify is better than trusting a corporation’s word.

Vivaldi claims only 5% is proprietary, yet they keep it closed to prevent forks. They benefit from the open-source community while intentionally blocking others from doing the same. That is hypocritical.

For most people, @librewolf and @zenbrowser remain my top recommendations.

This is such bullshit. Got an email marketing an AI author program. Fuck AI. If you use it, you're not an author. Just as if I get a dot to dot art coloring book & connect the dots, I'm not an artist.

Edited to add: This was a solicitation from Nick Stephenson of Your First 10K Readers. As if it's not hard enough to be an author, just wait until all the AI slop books pour out of this garbage course.

There is no ethical use case for generative AI.

Text of an email marketing letter:

"Our high-impact program, AI Bestsellers for Authors, is now open for new enrollments, with 50% off, for the next 2 days only.

In the program, we'll show you how to use free AI Tools to go from "no idea" to full novel or book outlines, chapter lists, scene lists, story beats breakdowns, and even written-for-you pages in as little as 30 minutes.

If you ever feel "stuck" writing, or want to learn how to accelerate your publishing process and focus more on the fun stuff (actually writing) this might be a perfect fit."

what’s the top most-blocked account on mastodon? 🤔

maybe it’s time to send a message to mozilla – one that says to shove your misleading poll & AI features where the sun don’t shine! 🤗

if we all work together, i really think we could achieve something amazing 🥰

I love doing all the maps! Tell me about your project and together we’ll figure out how to best support the story you are looking to tell!

Ça fait 3 jours que j'ai mon nouveau téléphone et je n'arrive toujours pas à m'habituer au clavier HeliBoard et les paramètres sont trop tout pour arriver à savoir sur quoi jouer pour obtenir un résultat qui me satisfasse.
Est-ce que quelqu'un aurait un tuto pour configurer HeliBoard pour qu'il se comporte comme Swiftkey ?
