This is a proposal to expand the tried tl;dr standard for further usecases.

The authors propose

pw;dr - paywall; didn't read
ai;dr - ai, didn't read

This is a draft.

@hailey if buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing

The Internet Archive losing its appeal means one thing: pirate stuff. Pirate brazenly. There’s no point trying to do it the nice way - you’ll get shut down anyway. Copy, share, and archive to your heart’s content. It’s the only way we’re keeping digital media and our cultural memory intact.

Wonder how long till AirTags get banned because they can be used to track the scam that's called "recycling" and the other scams of the so called "free market" and "secure supply chain":

I just made @alice LOL

I have walked this earth for almost fifty years, and today for the first time I heard somebody refer to a phoenix as a "molotov cockatiel".

And sure, it's not new to the world, it's just new to me. But the world still has undiscovered joy and wonder in it, it can still surprise you, and I thought I'd mention that.

TIL that people with disabilities that prevent them from using print books can get virtually any audiobook at no cost through the "Talking Books" program. I heard about it from a reference librarian with the Maine Digital Library, but it's a national US thing. And people with dyslexia are eligible.

That’s one of the reasons why I take it personally when people use “AI” models and cryptocoins. You are being complicit in creating the demand that is threatening to directly destroy the environment I live in. None of this shit would be happening if there wasn't demand so I absolutely do blame you, personally, if you are a regular user of either of these things

There’s a cost to these tools and you’re pushing it onto others like an asshole

So, fuck you and the AI-generated horse you rode in on

just found out that when you have a cropped image in a google slides presentation and you export the presentation to a PDF file, the PDF actually just uses the original image with a clip set on it so it's really easy to extract the uncropped version ??? this seems potentially bad, definitely not the behavior most people would expect

So yeah, don't think I'll ever be going to the cinema ever again, even with big, reclining seats, it caused me so much pain... almost hyperventalating when I got up.
But at least the film was good - Alien Romulus - a solid 8/10 for me. Starts off very "Alien" and ends up very "Aliens".

We've been hearing an increasing number of reports of trans people's GPs refusing to prescribe their HRT to them - even if they have a letter from an NHS gender clinic requesting that they do. That's why we're created our new My GP is Refusing to Prescribe My HRT resource: https://transactual.org.uk/medical-transition/my-gp-is-refusing-to-prescribe-my-hrt-what-can-i-do/

Has your GP recently refused to prescribe you HRT? Let us know at https://tinyurl.com/TransActualHRT
