I've been given a warning on my card because I've only been able to pay the minimum and so I'm just paying off fees and not the debt. Ideally I need to get the full thing paid off, which is £4500, but any help would go a long way.

Hi there!
I'm a trans person who's out of work due to mental and physical health reasons. I have a huge credit card debt and I struggle with monthly costs. If you can, please help below, or share this on.

Yet again, we can't afford to let LLMs become a source of epistemic grounding for society.

Largest study of its kind shows AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time – regardless of language or territory

Just kinda feeling like I'm stuck in things and just waiting for things to pick up. It sucks being unwell along with everything else because I feel like I'm doing nothing.

Also, I would love to try to get back into streaming, but my pc is having issues with a lot of things, so if I can get out of my debt, I might be able to start saving up to upgrade the parts I need.

Inspired?

Everything we do in life is influenced in some way by Mr Blobby, he mentally scarred all British people of a certain age. If you know, you know.

The Dr. Spotty hero card was our homage to our nightmarish OG.

I am sometimes uncharitable towards ffxiv's narrative but "you see, we voidsent celebrate halloween because it fuels our praise kink" is the kind of writing you simply won't find anywhere else

Impresario: "Not so long ago, our ultimate goal was to drown this realm in blackest night and usher in a long-coveted legend among my kind: the Night of Devilry, where our leader, the Great Gourd, would rise again and strike terror into the hearts of men. But as a few voidsent compatriots have recently taught us, there lies a reward even sweeter than mortal fear. One that fills our hearts and satiates our souls─gratitude! One taste, they said, and we would be unable to deny the fulfillment it brought us. Thus, the Circus abandoned its malevolent ambitions to pursue honeyed words of appreciation instead."

I have tinted glasses that do noticeably change colour perception, I would have to hold even physical art 4 inches from my face to see it's 'true' colour.
Nothing wrong with checking it against one or two things, but you're gonna stress yourself out if you try to adapt for everything.

Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.

I genuinely wonder when people are gonna start voting with their wallets and stop rewarding companies for using AI, Arc Raiders using it for genAI voices is frankly disgusting and it blows my mind that some people will defend it, and now Arc Raiders is sitting at 3rd top selling on Steam

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

Cancel SPOTIFY.

They are running ICE ads.

F them.

Is Spotify running ICE recruitment ads? Here are the facts

The advertising "is part of a broad campaign the US government is running" across various platforms — not just Spotify, a spokesperson told Snopes.

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors

“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

This is important! Markey is running for reelection against a “generational change” Democrat whose position on trans rights is cynical wishy-washiness. It matters that his response hasn’t been to “moderate his position.”

Liz Saila @lizsaila.bsky.social · 8d

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) at the Boston No Kings rally today, wore the trans pride flag like a scarf draped over his shoulders and included in his speech. "Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."

Sen. Ed Markey, a white man with white hair, standing at a lectern with a dark background, and Sen Elizabeth Warren to camera right, in a black top with a red blazer. Markey wears a trans pride flag draped over his shoulders. The closed caption reads "trans people because trans righs are human rights. We" The chiron underneath reads "No Kings Rally Underway In Boston"

Ugh, this.

Legit: the part I hate most about Stained Glass Woman is that it's considered activism for me to just sit down and explain science using simple words. Like, what the actual fuck?

Pookleblinky @pookleblinky.bsky.social · 8d

The phrase "trans activist" is goofy because like 95% of the time it's used it refers to a trans person simply existing.

Media, pointing at a woman buying a coffee: behold, a trans activist.

Woman: buying coffee is not activism stop being so fucking weird

Media: trans activist criticizes media

SO much of the cultural and artistic nostalgia that society chases was just art made when people got paid to do it. Lavish movie posters made by human artists, video games made by people without sixteen different investment companies breathing down their neck, movies made by studios taking a chance.

Stating that a program has the ability to do something is not assigning it autonomy. These LLMs were created by humans with autonomy who made a long list of decisions that got us here.

Saying bots have the ability to groom people is freely giving a tool the autonomy everyone fears it has.
