Help Noor and her family survive in Gaza
This is a placeholder for Noor's campaign. We are moving her campaign to Chuffed due to GoFundMe taking fees. This campaign will be updated with photos and her story shortly
chuffed.org
It’s really hard to keep going with everything being terrible, but we raised enough funds for my friend Noor to move, a family in Gaza knows we’re constantly riding for them.
We’ve started a new chuffed campaign for her family. If you can donate or share, please do! chuffed.org/project/1384...

Here's how to disable Ring's creepy Search Party feature
Ring's Super Bowl ad alerted many people to the company's Search Party feature, which is basically neighborhood surveillance. Here's how to disable it.

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

Everywhere AI is used, there’s some ethical Dunning-Kruger effect regarding security (programming), plagiarism (art, writing), etc. Maybe, just maybe, people are indicating there’s some level of *discernment* needed.

tomorrow i would really like to challenge a few folks with larger followings than me to adopt a rent and raise it in one day.
my little group chat and my followers have paid like 70 families rents in the past four days. i believe that some of y’all could help us keep one family housed.

Begging people not to claim SA/Trafficked victims have unimaginable pain.
I’m going to need people to start imagining it and do something about it vs writing it off like they lost a pet in a flash flood.

Any time I have asked CPD to help, it has always been “‘outside of my pay grade.”
Stop thinking the cops are going to help you. They would only get involved if their own fellow gang members is shot.

Talked with the dude who is going to bring AI into CVS’s minute clinic app.
Anyway. Don’t use the minute clinic app, the guy did not really seem all that concerned with HIPPA compliance.

Opsec isn’t just for you! You cannot help anyone if you lead them to your door. Squeaky wheel gets the kick: so use some fucking discretion and run your shit clean. Not everything needs a record.
I agree that "opsec" is often used a shibboleth in leftist spaces to justify gatekeeping.
At the same time, prosecutors move slowly and they WILL raid your fucking house out of the blue a year later.
Don't assume the feds are stupid or not paying attention just because "everyone's been out there".

See, the point of a protest is to imply consequences. American protesting is often just an angry parade - and that’s how we get to tear-gassing a crowd and it doesn’t cause anything to happen.
Lots of teargas at ICE tonight in Portland. People were just standing and chanting.
