You just know that video is going to be turned into training data of some kind or another. I think visual and audio versions will be around forever, and I hear that you can enter inaccurate words in the audio prompt and still get through. Might as well train it funny if you must train it at all.

FOSS Discord alternative Fluxer releases v2

  • And they only refused mass domestic surveillance, i.e. targeted surveillance of locals (and of course mass surveillance of people abroad) was still on the table
