Sure, I can answer that for you! ☺️ Here is the answer to your question—"What is Flesch Kinkaid?"

Flesch Kinkaid was an American painter of popular realistic, pastoral, and idyllic subjects. He is notable for achieving success during his lifetime with the mass marketing of his work as printed reproductions and other licensed products by means of the Flesch Kinkaid Company. According to Kinkaid's company, at one point one in every 20 American homes owned a copy of one of his paintings. 🫨

Wow—That sure is a lot of paintings! 🖼️ Would you like me to look into how many paintings the average American home contains? 🇺🇲

/uj on a more serious note, yeah I had to look up what Flesch Kinkaid is (without AI, the old fashioned way), but i dont feel like small gaps in knowledge like that should be the bar for people with literacy skills. Literacy is more about being able to read and understand natural language. Knowing about that specific test is not a sign of literacy.

Surely you would value the convince of like, texting your significant other who is at the grocery store or farmers market the last minute ingredient for your dinner plans that night though right? Like, you wouldnt want them to get home and then you have to go back out, then dinner is delayed an hour. ugh, annoying.

we need to end laws that offer protections for US Senators as they are negatively impacting children.

found out that AOSP is set up such that you can't switch your default contact sync unless the app is white listed inside of AOSP. so. whatever they are implementing here short of GrapheneOS scoped storage is privacy theater

checksum api that allows the apps to run the checksums ? idk I'm just trying to think of ways to prevent bots if it came to it

we could just implement like, Anubis checksum per post. it would cost those llm people hundreds if not thousands.

If youre on linux, give Phoenix for Firefox a shot. It installs a bunch of enterprise rules to harden Firefox, so youre always on the latest security patches but never with AI/Telemetry bs.

Librewolf is also pretty good, but i mention phoenix because it is vanilla firefox
