"According to the report, economic instability is no longer limited to the world’s poorest regions."

"Over half the world’s population (57 per cent) now expresses low levels of confidence in government. Among those born in the 21st century, trust levels are even lower – raising concerns about long-term civic disengagement and political instability."

i made some small updates to my blog post, "Counter-surveillance with Tor"

https://yawnbox.is/blog/counter-surveillance-with-tor/

it aims to show you how to make the web usable with Tor Browser focused on defending your privacy when reading the news online

1. Reader View, built into Firefox and Tor Browser, is an essential thing to quickly move past cookie pop-ups

2. https://Archive.is is essential for gaining access not only to news sites that block Tor, but also to consume the news in a way that is similar to Reader View. and it bypasses many paywalls!

so i bought EU Law: Text, Cases, and Materials to prepare for my law program

it's 1222 pages

i'm disabled and in order to best learn long texts like this, i need to hear the book and read the book at the same time

i need help:

1. i have a printer with a document feeder scanner, but it's single-sided. is there a tool out there that will combine 611 odd pages and 611 even pages into one document without losing OCR

or

2. should i buy my own ebook-maker/scanner? are they cheap?

3. is there a place i could take books that i own to have them scanned with OCR?

lastly, is there an AI tool that i can give an ebook too and it will create an audiobook? one that sounds more natural and understand the differences between words and acronyms, for example

abusive tech companies ("🤠") are drooling ("🤤") for generative AI and agentic AI ("👻") because:

1. 🤠 have decades of data about you already, 👻 is continued ROI

2. your attention and engagement via conversation with 👻 extracts new data types, even more data about you, and even more data about the people you talk about

3. engagement on behalf of 🤠 via 👻 is with impunity

4. your dependence on 👻 will mean unlimited, persistent access into your life and mind no different than the dependency you have on your cell phone being in your pocket and within arm's reach 24/7

5. 👻 will replace your friends in different ways. you will trust 👻 more and more as the tech improves

6. 👻 will learn how you work in way more nuanced detail than most people ever will. It will know how to most effectively talk to you, inform you, and control you

7. when 👻 becomes "on-device" in order to sway more users into trusting it, updates from the cloud will continue to allow 🤠 to collect data about your life and interact with you in ways that you trust and will most effectively sway your judgement

8. 👻 is trained to be extremely confident which makes them exceptional social engineers. 🤠 don't have to hire people to do this anymore
