So, mostly plastic with some plant materials?

No, I got some of those more recently, they show you the IP address and the infringed copyright. This is one of the reasons to use a VPN.

Back maybe 10 years ago they would actually send a letter to tell you, you visited those websites, please refrain. It might have had to do with frequency as well.

Vidéotron has definitely tipped off the authorities to our DNS activity at one point, we got a nasty letter from them saying they got told to tell us to stop visiting a certain website. I don't think they do that anymore, but they once upon a time did.

Their DNS is also really slow to replicate, causing issues when toying with DNS records.

Besides, your ISP can also change the terms at any time.

I do agree with you regarding American DoH, but note that your Android phone most likely defaults to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS servers, i.e. Google's.

I apologize for the attack, I just felt the 8 hour delay was unfair, I was intending to do research and get back to you, which I can't really do during my workday.

Here's another example:

This one's from SharePoint, my previous picture was from Planner.

Correct, Quebec has a decently large printing industry due to our publishers prioritising local printers, likely due to the language difference.

Nah, it has AI artifacting all over it. The UI designers would have had to be deliberate about it, this is just Microsoft eating their own dog food.

Yeah, that's called having a life, you should get one.

Microsoft hasn't said anything one way or another, but AI generated icons are pretty easy to spot by their artifacts. The shadows are messed up and the gradients are wonky, I use Microsoft products every day and they changed the splash icons in a bunch of their products to this mess.

Here's another one:

The design language is all over the place, elements bleed into each other and the resulting design is nonsensical.

You have to trust your DNS provider. If you don't trust CIRA, don't use them, but using DoH is better than the alternative.

I can tell you that CIRA is way more trustworthy than your ISP and won't tip off the authorities for going to some high sea sites, like your ISP would.

Re-read my reply. Your answer is in there.

Your post is:

  • Not interesting

  • Not conducive to discussion

  • Not made by a human

You have made a generic statement with a very generic, generated image. You have not contributed anything to this community.

On top of that, there are valid ethical concerns regarding AI image generation, specifically about the training data being stolen content with no attribution or compensation with no regards for licensing, and the technology being used to put artists out of work in favour of cheap-looking, uncanny valley pictures.

LLMs can be trained ethically (though the vast majority aren't), but it's most likely impossible to ethically train text to image models due to the large amount of data required.

Additionally, commercially run AI models waste an enormous amount of power, and all money invested into these models goes directly into the pockets of American giants and their wealthy owners.
