  1. Oh, look GIMP's Open dialog box has crashed.
    No worries, just close it.
    WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU CAN'T CLOSE IT?!?
    THERE ARE NO WINDOW DECORATIONS! IT'S ALL CLIENT-SIDE!!!

    This moment of utterly unnecessary stupidity was brought to you by #ClientSideDecorations.

  2. I signed up on #iNaturalist about 5 years ago and did a few postings/observations. Then, more recently I spoke with enough biologists who said they used the data and it was quite important and encouraged me to contribute to it, especially since I go to out-of-the-way places a lot (look at my observations map).

    But, first, I took the time to read through their data/surveillance policy and, while I assumed bots would be *nonconsensually* scraping the data, contributing seemed useful enough to science that I could hold my nose and accept that. But direct, unmediated collaboration with Google and AI-anything is off the table for me.

    Bummer, really.

  3. This is an #attempt to #wrest back #control of the user's #web #experience, so they can #abuse you for money. #Abusing people is very #profitable in Big Tech.

    I haven't even dealt with #accessibility issues in this thread, though those are hugely #impacted by this.

    It also will make people #unsafe by taking away a lot of #anonymity #choices.

    This is pure #evil. Hunt down "Web Environment Integrity" wherever it lives, and kill it with fire.
