The New Oil<p><strong>Major Update: Private AI Recs</strong></p> <p>Life is full of nuance. Which is why I made a terrible life choice when I became a content creator on the internet who discusses complex, often-political topics.</p> <p>I've added an “AI” section to The New Oil that suggests more privacy-focused large-language models (LLMs) that users could consider if they have need of an AI. Obviously I think this is a good addition to the site or else I wouldn't have done it. But for those who may be on the fence – or upset – let me explain why.</p> <p><a href="https://blog.thenewoil.org/major-update-private-ai-recs" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">blog.thenewoil.org/major-updat</span><span class="invisible">e-private-ai-recs</span></a></p>

Breaking up is hard to do — harder yet when there’s a deactivation period. Here’s how to log off every big social site, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, Threads, Bluesky, and Truth Social.

WIRED · How to Delete All of Your Social Media Accounts: Instagram, X, Facebook, TikTok, and MoreBy Boone Ashworth

Finally got through the process of downloading my old Facebook and couple of Instagram accounts data today. Pretty extensive! Had wait several days on Facebook alone.

Just clicked to confirm deletion of ALL my Meta accounts and couldn't be happier!

I have also mostly finished moving all +200 online accounts using my various gmail and outlook emails over to Proton Mail aliases! Coming for you next Google and Microsoft, so watch out!

It's hard work, but take back your data, privacy, and peace of mind from these big tech companies that profit from your doomscrolling and selling your data!

Thanks to all the folks on here, Reddit, and YouTube that have given insight, especially @techlore. Thank you!

Zucky and Co sure were smart to choose the name Meta for their dumb company. Every "meta analysis" has folks wondering if it's the OG definition, or if maybe it's shoddy research conducted by spoiled tech bros. Free advertisement, even if you hate the company. Well played, shortie.

PS: Mark Zucky is short and that really bothers him tell a friend

Längst sind wir zutiefst verstrickt und haben uns abhängig gemacht und abhängig machen lassen. Der Digitalzwang, der uns als so unabdingbar für unsere Zukunft verkauft wird, zahlt weiter auf dieses menschenverachtende Geschäftsmodell ein. Auch, wenn es "unbequem" wird - emanzipiert euch!
Die Abhängigkeit von russischen fossils ist nichts gegen die Abhängigkeit von den Silicon-Valley-Oligarchen!
