Knitting and Crochet Mastodon:

What do you use for project bags when a old grocery bag won't cut it anymore but you don't want to shell out for or sew up your own with nice fabric?

I feel like I've got to be overlooking something obvious I could use.

This is for a cowl scarf in particular. I need room to fit the yarn and a spindle (usually my wrist one when I'm out and about). Would really prefer something I can zip, sinch, or tie shut.

WARNING: Do NOT ignore 's new scanning default settings. 1.8 billion users automatically opted in to allow Gmail access to all private messages & attachments to train AI models since June 2024.

Here's what happened:

1. Gmail enabled "Smart Features" by default for ALL users without clear notification.

2. They tied basic functionality like spell checking to AI scanning (i.e., if want spell check you need to accept full email analysis).

WARNING: Do NOT ignore Gmail's new AI scanning default settings. 1.8 billion users automatically opted in to allow Gmail access to all private messages & attachments to train AI models since June 2024. Here's what happened: 1. Gmail enabled "Smart Features" by default for ALL users without clear notification. 2. They tied basic functionality like spell checking to AI scanning (i.e., if want spell check you need to accept full email analysis). 3. Email categories (Primary, Updates, Social) get disabled when you opt out, despite working for years without "Smart Features." What they're accessing: - Every email you send and receive - All attachments and documents   - Personal conversations and sensitive information - Business communications and contracts - 18-month data retention through Gemini Activity The numbers: - Users affected: 1.8 billion Gmail accounts - Features generating: 10M+ daily AI summaries from your emails - User complaints: +20% year-over-year on Reddit - Adoption: 70% keep it enabled (Google Q3 2025) - vs 2023: 0% auto-opt-in To opt out (you need BOTH locations): 1. Gmail app/web settings: Disable "Smart Features" 2. Workspace admin console: Disable "AI Personalization" Otherwise, your private communications become training data for AI models (unless you manually find and disable these settings in two separate locations). Google is harvesting 1.8 billion users' private communications without explicit consent by making basic features dependent on data collection. If you value email privacy, check your settings immediately and share this so others can make an informed choice. Don't be a guinea pig for Google's AI training. | 21 comments on LinkedIn

前陣子去辦理一個服務,留了電子郵件。過了幾天,接到承辦人員來電:

「您好,我們這裡有一個表格,想跟您確認,您留下的電子郵件地址,有沒有寫錯?」
「抱歉,我忘了是留哪一個信箱了。可以唸給我聽嗎?」

「xxxxxxx@duck.com,...,就是鴨子那個 duck」
「喔,那沒錯,是鴨子達康」

「喔喔,不好意思,我以為是寫錯了。不好意思,打擾了。」
「沒關係。」

문어는 지능이 높다는데 크라켄은 수명이 짧은 편이 아니니까 본래 자연의 크라켄들은 꽤 고지능의 행동양식을 가질거같음 그런 존재를 양식한다는 것에 반대하는 사람도 있을거고 찬성하는 사람도 있을거고... 방금 얘기한 가상의 사례가 실제 범고래, 돌고래쇼에서 발생하는 알력이지 않을라나~
