do not DM me just to preach / raise awareness or whatever; it's awkward and unwanted


Year 11 iGCSE student who's interested in tech, music, linguistics, mythology, literature, crochet, art and Taylor Swift. I usually post anything from goofy posts to vents and rants to infodumps, plus tons of boosts. I tend to write absurdly long posts. Possibly neurospicy. Don't say I didn't warn you. <3

Identifies as a mishmash of carbon compounds.

I occasionally do alt4you before boosting a post that contains images without alt text. If I'm too lazy I would just fav the post. If the message is too good but I'm still lazy, it might still be boosted. Please add alt text, thanks.

Congress in the US has banned Copilot for security reasons. I would take it further. Really the way Windows is coded now, it is a significant security problem. The idea that it is unclear whether you are using local data or online data is unacceptable.

This includes:

  • Login. Login should be local. You are not logging into a service. You are logging into a computer. The service should be separate from the computer.

  • Copilot. Clearly another case where you may not realize that you are sharing data by asking a question.

  • OneDrive. Another case where local data is backed up in the cloud, without active actions by you as a user. Backup is great, but you should have to explicitly enable it and there should be a warning that your data may be scanned.

  • Windows. In reality even Windows is now a problem given the login issue and any tracking that is happening.

Online cloud services can be great, but one should never be forced into online services or lured into them. Any computer should work fine without having to use OS online services, except basic services, like updates and the like.

@jon I got a new computer recently and I was absolutely shocked that there is no way of getting out of signing into a Microsoft account. The only way to use the computer otherwise is to use a different OS!

& G’day Squirrel Fans, hope I find you bright eyed & bushy tailed!

Up early because - well I’m not sure,Mrs S. is on her hols so I was expecting an 8am start, as opposed to a 7am one!

Please can we have hugs for @KarenStrickholm & my dear friend Fi - if you know her you know why she’s not fully tagged (Luvs yer Fi) 🤗🥰 no questions asked!

Y’all have a cracking Monday
