Hell, if the bots get better at handling it, you can just do it MORE! Layers of human-parsable obscurity that force bots to waste ever more time to do literally anything useful with this data! Use ã and é instead of a and e, use | instead of l or I, × instead of x...
Be ungovernable.
Ruin ai datasets.
Write yo shit.
You know how spammers use similar characters to replace actual letters to get by filters? Doing that to your writing would give a slightly bizarre visual and utterly annihilate any basic scraping tools, because visual interpretation of characters is wildly more time and resource intensive than plaintext ripping.
It might help or severely hinder dyslexic people, though.
Also some browsers/OS might have trouble loading them?

None of that will at all register correctly to a scraper. It's in Unicode, so it'll work wherever.
Boldtext.io is the one I used, but there's plenty of ways to do it. You could even do multiple at once and make undoing it basically impossible, but still have it be readable to humans (auto readers or whatever for the visually impaired, not so much...)

Just gotta pick the style you like that's as clear as possible while also being literal gibberish to any quick digital scan method.

That second one is almost plain, and none of those characters should be used that way. It just produces gibberish where it can figure out what a particular character is technically displaying.
Some ai might be able to handle this. It will still be an extra layer of defense.
I'll take reduced reading speed for total digital obscurity and I'll be happy.
Currently using a Minecraft mod as my media player, since it lets my computer handle it without destroying my browser or YouTube history.

This mod is better than the YouTube Music app.
I could even add ambience by letting the regular game play in the background.

listened to Bohemian Rhapsody today… i’m so very sorry
My baby :)
My lock screen is a creepier ai version of my profile pic. I'm probably fine, but very confused.
Reblog with who you get stuck with~
Call it your 'prankster face' and send it constantly.
I keep almost forgetting that I can’t send “:3” to my parents
This is potentially life saving information everyone should know.
By the way, you can improve your executive function. You can literally build it like a muscle.
Yes, even if you're neurodivergent. I don't have ADHD, but it is allegedly a thing with ADHD as well. And I am autistic, and after a bunch of nerve damage (severe enough that I was basically housebound for 6 months), I had to completely rebuild my ability to get my brain to Do Things from what felt like nearly scratch.
This is specifically from ADDitude magazine, so written specifically for ADHD (and while focused in large part on kids, also definitely includes adults and adult activities):
Here's a link on this for autism (though as an editor wow did that title need an editor lol):
Resources on this aren't great because they're mainly aimed at neurotypical therapists or parents of neurdivergent children. There's worksheets you can do that help a lot too or thought work you can do to sort of build the neuro-infrastructure for tasks.
But a lot of the stuff is just like. fun. Pulling from both the first article and my own experience:
Play games or video games where you have to make a lot of decisions. Literally go make a ton of picrews or do online dress-up dolls if you like. It helped me.
Art, especially forms of art that require patience, planning ahead, or in contrast improvisation
Listening to longform storytelling without visuals, e.g. just listening regularly to audiobooks or narrative podcasts, etc.
Meditation
Martial arts
Sports in general
Board games like chess or Catan (I actually found a big list of what board games are good for building what executive functioning skills here)
Woodworking
Cooking
If you're bad at time management play games or video games with a bunch of timers
Things can be easier. You might always have a disability around this (I certainly always will), but it can be easier. You do not have to be this stuck forever.
