Your data is protected by my IDGAF policy. This site does not exist to gather data about anyone for any reason, and anything which is incidentally collected I intend to use for absolutely no purpose whatsoever. Furthermore, I have attempted to reduce any opportunities for third parties to gather data by, for example, omitting analytics tracking code and using the more ethically minded Shariff Wrapper plug-in for social media sharing. Nevertheless, surveillance capitalism is insidious, and I strongly recommended that you protect yourself online by using tools like Privacy Badger from the EFF.

“Count the fingers, count the teeth, check the shadows.”

Content on this blog, or made by me in general, will never use generative artificial intelligence, unless there is a clear specific purpose or need, in which case it will be clearly labelled.

There is no ethical use of generative artificial intelligence. The environmental cost is devastating and the technology is built on plagiarised content and stolen art, for the purpose of deskilling, disempowering, and replacing the work of real people.
