I put a lot of work into manually making the English captions, so if you have trouble with un-captioned YouTubePoops, don't worry! Technically this is a PTP? A PeerTubePoop? This is on a new PeerTube channel from my last one, since the old instance is shutting down and I'm moving away from doing video game commentary stuff. Edits are much more fun for me.
anarchist pol, re: all uncw'd usian bullshit in advance
I just block anyone who argues that (distorted and filtered) demographics legitimize the violence of the state. I fled the south because of the repurcussions of that inane bullshit, so here's your bi-annual advance notice for stupid loud americans going on moral diatribes about elections. So you could say it is a bit personal given the impact this bullshit has had on my life.
Here's an anarchist critique of democracy, just another of many ways of "governing".

Deposit your vote in the replies and I promise I will give it the same serious consideration any government official would 🗨️➡️🚽.
This little rant is nowhere near as much a waste of time as an entire fucking "election year". The purpose of a system is what it does, not your immaterial patriotic bullshit.
pinned boundaries post
I'm not really interested in random people following me anymore. If you know me, send me a direct message. Anything else will be denied. Regardless: for people interacting with my public stuff you should know my boundaries.
here are politics I do not vibe with:
- politics
-
- 💸 (so-called "market anarchists" or libs)
- nationalism (grow up from wounded fairy tales)
- new age spiritualism / new athiesm
- divorced dad-ism (move on)
- missionaries / evangelists
- white people health cults (you are racist)
- Britishism
- paranoid, insecure settler
- journalist (derogatory)
- your *entire* personality is being an "____ parent"
- hippies
- CIS military apologetica
- cisgender apologetica
- fascism
- stallmanism, OSI and FSF techbro cults
- cable television commentary (I cut the cable for a reason)
- go to the polls! electoralism religious adherent
- resource scarcity-FUD hyper for eco fascists
- primitivism (if you are anti-literacy why are you even logged in lmao go eat berries)
- obviously anything antisemitic or transphobic
- pollsters, quizzers, and petitioners
- anti-piracy (MPAA's hiring, fuckface)
- legal justice system believer (lol, lmao)
- Firstname Lastname LinkedIn
- The person reading this who thinks you can override my boundaries because you are a privileged fuck who has learned to treat others people's priorities as dismissible "requests"
- racist queer people, and not giving a shit when you are told that you are platforming them
- channers
- hippies (again)
- [Broccoli Haters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_H._W._Bush_broccoli_comments)
- Meritocracy or Technocracy people
- (no feds, cops, enlisted people)
- White westerners getting off on constantly posting un-cw'd gore and genocide news of PoC, calling themselves an activist. You're just an asshole.
I wish anarchists were... anarchist. The dilution of the revolutionary anarchist aesthetic online to near meaninglessness has me uncertain about who actually has my back. For the record, when I say I'm an anarchist, I mean *all hierarchies* are bad and unsafe. All cops, all empires, all states. If you disagree, why is it in your bio and so core to how you style yourself online? It feels like a lie.
Remembering how Greta Thunberg was immediately called an antisemite for holding a cute octopus doll on a photo in 2023.
Yet Elon Musk doing a full on sieg heil twice is reported as just "Meh, who knows", despite his documented history of repeatedly flirting with the far right.
Funny how that works lately, almost like accusations of antisemitism have been weaponised to silence those who speak up to power.
Sabot in the Age of AI
Here is a curated list of strategies, offensive methods, and tactics for (algorithmic) sabotage, disruption, and deliberate poisoning.
🔻 iocaine
The deadliest AI poison—iocaine generates garbage rather than slowing crawlers.
🔗 https://git.madhouse-project.org/algernon/iocaine
🔻 Nepenthes
A tarpit designed to catch web crawlers, especially those scraping for LLMs. It devours anything that gets too close. @aaron
🔗 https://zadzmo.org/code/nepenthes/
🔻 Quixotic
Feeds fake content to bots and robots.txt-ignoring #LLM scrapers. @marcusb
🔗 https://marcusb.org/hacks/quixotic.html
🔻 Poison the WeLLMs
A reverse-proxy that serves diassociated-press style reimaginings of your upstream pages, poisoning any LLMs that scrape your content. @mike
🔗 https://codeberg.org/MikeCoats/poison-the-wellms
🔻 Django-llm-poison
A django app that poisons content when served to #AI bots. @Fingel
🔗 https://github.com/Fingel/django-llm-poison
🔻 KonterfAI
A model poisoner that generates nonsense content to degenerate LLMs.

US politics, computer touching, and protecting transgender people
If you are not transgender, and you are in charge of software decisions and demographic information, here is a free tip:
Unless it is critically necessary to the function of your software, the best thing you can do to protect trans people at this time is **not collect any gender information.**
There are almost zero cases where gender is relevant to the function of a piece of software. If your knee-jerk reaction is that your software does need it, please examine if that's really true, or if you just assumed.
Many non-transgender people think gender is a way to distinguish individuals. I search demographic records professionally. That isn't an adequate way to distinguish people from each other, it provides very little information. Many also feel gender is just a basic trait everything should ask about. Please recall that the safest approach to handling any sensitive data is to not store it at all.
If you have questions about something I've said here, please ask. I will answer your questions and we can talk about how to meet your goals.
Amount Currently Raised (Dental): $227
Let’s keep this “short” :)
Thanks to a generous person, I’ve made my goal, but I’m going to keep this post going for hopefully future appointments and of course life expenses
I’m hoping with the new insurance kicking in next month I hope that I don’t have to worry about paying the $146 for my meds, but I’ll have to continue to pay the $12/mo for the bullshit subscription fee 🙄
As always thank you for the help
The move is still happening but currently on hold so any help with that is also appreciated by getting things off my list ❤️

Researchers find a protein in the hemolymph (analogous to blood) of Australian oysters which has antimicrobial properties, including against biofilms of Streptococcus pneumoniae, a common cause of pneumonia. The oysters likely evolved the peptide to help prevent infection by similar microbes, and the discovery could help down the road in the development of antibiotics and antiseptics useful to humans! #clamFacts

ROFLMAO.
Claude decided to crawl one of the sites on my new server, where known bots are redirected to an iocaine maze. Claude has been in the maze for 13k requests so far, over the course of 30 minutes.
I will need to fine tune the rate limiting, because it didn't hit any rate limits - it scanned using 902 different client IPs. So simply rate limiting by IP doesn't fly. I'll rate limit by (possibly normalized) agent (they all used the same UA).
Over the course of this 30 minutes, it downloaded about ~300 times less data than if I would've let it scrape the real thing, and each request took about the tenth of the time to serve than the real thing would have. So I saved bandwidth, saved processing time, likely saved RAM too, and served garbage to Claude.
Job well done.
Had a dream recently that there was a new mode of agda called "purple agda", and it was this string diagram proof assistant thing with some absolutely wild unicode ligatures to represent the string diagram aspect. And the lines of the string diagram were colored purple, hence the name. I made a mock-up of what it sorta looked like, and I remember just being horrified when thinking about how you would even write or edit a program in this mode lmao
I dindt know the science diversity gorilla from future was in a book called 1984 I wonder if Blizzard knows
Hi #Chicago neighbors! As you probably already know, we are expecting sub-zero temperatures early next week. Edgewater #MutualAid Network will be connecting unhoused people in our area with temporary shelter. We are $400 away from our goal of $2700 to provide several unhoused neighbors with hotel rooms during these freezing cold nights. Every little bit helps! Funds beyond our goal will help us provide cold weather gear, OTC medication, and other necessities.

Organized Communities Against Deportations (OCAD) is an undocumented-led group that organizes against deportations, detention, criminalization, and incarceration, of Black, brown, and immigrant communities in #Chicago and surrounding areas.
The incoming administration is threatening immigration raids in #Chicago, where I live. Is anybody organizing rapid-response protests? I'd like to participate, but need notification.

#yesbot #nobot #noarchive I'm in my 20s, as a Computer Science researcher (Not in "AI" 🙄).

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life . For real though, I'm not gonna tell you to vote or post about political spectacle that is outside our control and in-actionable. Aiming to have a similar amount of internal contradictions as my environment like Ashby's Law of Requisite variety. I am probably stoned on some variety and dosage of cannabinoids if I am awake if you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
