It is with the deepest frustrations that I must report Microsoft has pushed out Copilot onto Microsoft Word no matter what your previous settings were. If you have Office because you paid for it/are on a family plan/have a work/school account, you can disable it by going to Options -> click on Copilot -> uncheck 'Enable Copilot'.

(Note, you may not see this option if you haven't updated lately, but Copilot will still pop up. Updating should give you this option. I will kill Microsoft with my bare hands.)

In addition, Google has forced a roll-out of it's Gemini AI on all American accounts of users over 18 (these settings are turned off by default for EU, Japan, Switzerland, and UK, but it doesn't hurt to check).

To remove this garbage, you must go to Manage Workspace smart feature settings for all your Gmail/Drive/Chat and turn them off. Go to Settings -> See all settings -> find under "Genera" the "Google Workspace smart features" -> turn smart feature setting off for both Google Workspace and all other Google products and hit save. (If you turned off the smart settings in your Gmail, it never hurts to open Drive and double-check that they're set to off there too.)

Quick Edit: I found the easiest way to get to the Smart Feature settings following the instructions above was to do it through Drive. Try that route first.

Now is the time to consider switching to Libre Office if you haven't already.

welp!

Kind of unbelievable that this is happening, but I have some bad news! LOUIE ARMSTRONG'S ESTATE has ordered that the song we made for the credits sequence of BRBA:VR, "What a Breaking Bad World", cannot exist. the video as it is cannot remain. there are a few options. I could remove the video and re-upload it, losing all of the traction its gained, all of its comments, etc. I really do not want to do that, for obvious reasons! Alternatively, I mute the audio in the end, resulting in a very jarring ending, and in my eyes, ruining the video.

I do not want to do either of these, but unfortunately, I am going to have to do something more akin to the latter. The good news is is that I have a road to a final solution that will not leave the video permanently flawed. I have to silence the song for now as demanded by the estate, but we are going to work on a fully original song that still fits the ending, one that's not directly derivative of any other work. Once it's done, we have a means to add it to the YouTube music library - allowing us to swap in audio and repair the ending into a new version.

This will take some time, so unfortunately there will be a period where the video is messed up. But it won't be forever, at the very least.

harry dubois would end death note in one episode. he'd be unkillable bc he has no fucking idea what his name is and then he'd go drink driving and accidentally run light over and the killings would mysteriously stop

tumblr just deleted a huge swathe of palestinians who were on here trying to fundraise. if you've been helping any of these fundraisers please take this time to 1) check in with palestinians you're in contact with 2) help them submit support requests if needed 3) keep these campaigns circulating while the beneficiaries are being silenced. these campaigns are life or death, this isn't just social networking. do not let these fundraisers languish.
