did you really have to censor the word piss on the platform where the primary algorithm is following people?

Header text: "HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!"

This is followed by a couple example urls, with a red square highlighting the sections with source identifiers. The rest of the text is as follows: 

Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity. 
 
When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers. 
 
Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

You could also Switch to LineageOS, CalyxOS or GrapheneOS if youre interested in getting rid of Google's bad decisions entirely :)

fuck man ever since I've been using a cane I've felt very vulnerable and this is my fucking nightmare. I can't even concentrate on the target of these fascist goons because I'm distracted by the collateral damage. it does make me want to get a much heavier and weapon-like cane however

ICE Taps into Nationwide AI-Enabled Camera Network, Data Shows Flock's automatic license plate reader (ALPR) cameras are in more than 5,000 communities around the U.S. Local police are doing lookups in the nationwide system for ICE.

“Law enforcement really likes license plate readers because of the lack of restrictions on that data. They don’t feel like they need a warrant. Oftentimes there are no restrictions whatsoever on what they search,” EFF’s @maassive.bsky.social told @404media.co.

If the concept of consent would kill an industry, that industry should not exist in the first place.

This is not even a debate.

Donald Trump just announced a full pardon for Scott Jenkins, the former Virginia sheriff who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for accepting more than $70,000 in bribes in exchange for appointing local businessmen as auxiliary deputies.

Starbucks workers at the Disneyland Resort just stood up to management over understaffed shifts, bad scheduling, low pay, and apathy from leaders who regularly work off-site.

Happy baristas mean happy customers. It’s time for Starbucks to do the right thing and finalize fair union contracts!

seemed to be phoned in (I had a prof. who was fully online and did not even respond to emails) that is when I would have used AI. That is if I used AI in college. I wouldn't want to have my degree revoked over some stupid bullshit like that. :)

I can really only give anecdotal evidence for my belief as I am someone who just barely got out of HS before general mainstream AI happened. In college, when I have an engaging prof. who seems like they want to be there, I did the assignments by the book. If I had any professors that 1/
