The home page of aljazeera has 11 placeholder images now, lol

 

It just checks image alt text for keywords. No AI weirdness.

If it is approved it will be available at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/uglymug/. I don't plan to submit it to the Chrome extension store but anyone is welcome to copy the code and do so.

Meanwhile if you'd like to try it out before it's approved (trust me bro) you can get the extension from https://we.tl/t-VZw12WGo7q and then unzip the contents into a new folder.

Installation Instructions:

For Chrome:

  1. Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/
  2. Enable "Developer mode" (toggle in top right)
  3. Click "Load unpacked"
  4. Select the folder where you unzipped the files to.

For Firefox:

  1. Open Firefox and navigate to about:debugging
  2. Click "This Firefox"
  3. Click "Load Temporary Add-on"
  4. Select the manifest.json file

He should try it while wearing normal clothes, that'll take his freedom to another level 😉

What a nightmare. Everything gets much harder at their scale...

[–] rimu@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

Very interesting, thanks.

Good idea, I'll add something similar to PieFed.

It that a lot of money? I can't tell anymore.

[–] rimu@piefed.social 2 points 3 days ago

I'm surprised this is not more popular.

I’ve literally never heard of those horrible companies

If Ed wasn't working for them, maybe you would have.

I guess the author takes it as a given that we are already aware of the backlash (which I am not)... The piece on him by Wired is the only evidence presented - https://archive.ph/fybMC#selection-2331.7-2331.112

 

Seems like he only criticizes the AI companies that he doesn't do PR for?

Although Gates said investment to battle climate change must continue, he argued that US President Donald Trump's cuts to USAID threaten a more urgent problem

https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/577152/bill-gates-makes-a-stunning-claim-about-climate-change

He's not wrong. Trump's cuts to USAID will cause the death of millions in quite a short time.

Yes if it's that old then if it was possible to fix it's problems then surely they would have by now...

 

$1 trillion, lol

 

Boris Johnson's former adviser claims that China infiltrated a key UK government data-transfer network for years, compromising highly classified materials and prompting a Whitehall cover-up that prioritized Chinese investment over national security.

Best-o-Masto is an alternative Mastodon client that does very little, but on purpose. When you open the app, it shows you the 20 most popular posts from accounts you follow in the last few hours. You can favorite those posts, boost them, or open them in a real Mastodon client, and that's about it.

I say with complete sincerity that Best-o-Masto is my favorite new app on my home screen in quite a while. Yes, I made it, but I made it because nobody made the Mastodon client that I wanted to exist. I don't want to get sucked into my feed. I don't want the noise to make me miss the important stuff. I just want to see what's going on and I want to get out.

iOS only

A place to name and shame companies using misleading prices. Eg. Any surprises you get at checkout like discounts only applying if you sign up for a year etc.
