I guess we are going to have to find a way to copyright ourselves so that we have the right to demand automatic takedowns of bots that steal our identities…
i breezed past other comments and i'm also missing a lot of context - you'll just have to look for the event recording if you're reading this later, sorry
!! @vashetc.bsky.social points upstream of the accessibility technologies discourse
"refusal looks like *understanding how to put pressure on those who wish to take advantage*..." of people and the predicaments they face
@vashetc.bsky.social demonstrates a clearer understanding of the local antipathy toward the UM-LANL datacenter planned for Ypsilanti better than UM administrators who are paid.
then again, they're paid to not understand, so i guess i shouldn't be surprised?
this is happening now!
hahahah omg
interesting - i'll check it out - thanks!
in shortcuts app i see a couple of options, but nothing that obviously lets me pick an existing document and just append to it. "bookmark link" sounds close, but i want to create a text file that has a list of links. is that what it does?
i'm not seeing it but maybe someone knows
is there a way to make an iOS share shortcut that takes something (specifically, a url from the browser) and appends it to a *specific* document in @obsidian.md? like a very makeshift, very basic read-later list
New for @theverge.com: i wrote about how Kansas' trans ID law and the "age verification" systems popping up everywhere tie into larger efforts to force trans people to out themselves both IRL and online
Verge headline: ‘Age Verification’ could force trans people to out themselves to use the internet by Janus Rose Photo illustration depicts a distorted Kansas drivers license
After Kansas suddenly invalidated hundreds of trans peoples' licenses, experts warn the discrimination will extend to online spaces.

i need to break my stupid habit of seeing a collapsed post and impulsively being like "well i wanna see what the post is"
especially when it's self-labeled adult content and i'm in public
people love structured interactions
it's not reckoning though?
i guess i'm posting to solicit input from anyone who thinks they might have any knowledge about whether this kind of stuff works, even in principle. in other words, should i resume doing this?
alternatively, is some other way of surfacing a book on people's timelines a better approach?
i stopped because it was a little time-consuming, but i have no aptitude, let alone data, on click-through, conversions, or anything like that; as a result, i have no idea if this stuff was effective in reminding people about the reading group, getting people to join, or (crucially) to buy the book.
in the past, i've posted snippets from books as images w/alt text to attract attention to the reading group and get people to sign up/buy the book (raising money for The Sameer Project, who get resources like food/medicine to Palestinians in Gaza). here's an example.
thank god i'm not alone
is it in poor taste if i make waffles tomorrow?
... just thinking about the "american century of humiliation"
will remember jay as the person who deleted lexi alexander and link, worked hard to cut palestinians off from their one chance at survival, ignored the ongoing abuse of Black and trans users, and then when confronted about the whole thing said 'waffles'. and for that fugly no caesars shirt.
right to refuse!
"BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that we affirm the rights of students and teachers to refuse to sign up for, prompt, or otherwise use generative AI in the writing classroom."
College writing teachers have spoken, y'all.
The CCCC resolution affirming students' and teachers' right to refuse generative AI in the writing classroom passed by an overwhelming majority at the #4C26 Annual Business Meeting this past Friday, March 6.

i'm seeing a lot of interesting rumors, but does anyone have verification/proof of those supposed updates?
Ted Chiang responds to the article going around that asks if the left is missing out on AI: “I don’t know. Is the left missing out on ICE?”
The danger to my job from AI isn't that AI can do my job, it's that my job is made even more precarious by the way AI is shaping ideas of the value of work. It can't do my job, but it can be part of convincing people (incorrectly) that my job isn't necessary.
it might be that, but my immediate reading was that the number of collisions subsided after about a week, which makes me think that the abrupt change does a lot of the damage.
reminded of a George Jackson quote from Tip of the Spear:
> I am an extremist. I call for extreme measures to solve extreme problems.
the us and israel love to create "hardline" regimes and then pretend they're just reacting to shit that happened. iran is extremist, the us creates extreme problems
