10/10 trash can signage right here

Polyamorous fans 🤝 Aro fans

Feeling alienated by fandom separating all the characters into Typical Romantic Pairings instead of splashing around in all the joyous canon connections between all of them that are explicitly counter-cultural and not-defined by normalized terms

FUCK. honestly just FUCK. We missed a very important day yesterday.

what was yesterday, cat?

I’m not missing it this year.

You are tasked with killing a bloodless chimp.

Your Stats:

What is your plan for killing the bloodless chimp?

"Uhm of the chimp does not respirate or eat, then it's technically not alive ☝️☝️☝️🤓🤓🤓"

Yes you are very clever and we are all very impressed. Engage with the bit.

mind if I make an amv explaining my method here?

By all means

Speak English poorly. Speak with an exaggerated accent or with the pronunciations easier for your native language. Add your language to it. Speak with direct or poor translations of your words into English. Don't conform. Sound obnoxious, sound stereotypical. Be free. Fuck the americanization of the world. Prioritize your native language. Prioritize languages other than English. Listen to them. Listen to your own language.

I’m losing my shit about the Windows AI spyware feature storing it’s data in windows registry and dumping all the text that goes in you screen into a sql-lite database.

At first I thought it was a joke, holy fuck.

Oh fuck, @sirilyan this is the best take on this I’ve read:

Any computer issued already set-up by you company (the kind where people using them don’t have admin rights) will now store three months of screen recordings of everything you do on it, available for your employer to review.

What a living hell.

I sense this will spectacularly implode at some point when either confidential health records or Secret/Top Secret government docs get shared bc someone found a way to get access to these.

Then there’s going to be a LONG time where the courts slowly discover how much info has been sold to outside entities and we’ll have Another round of court hearings where tech moguls testify, but the lawmakers don’t understand what’s happening enough to do anything useful about it.

Law makers with law degrees (which is not all of them but is a significant chunk) at least will understand “this is a HIPAA violation” or “this is a FERPA violation” and definitely “why did you let our top secret documents out” better than they understand the vaguer privacy issues or the tech jargon. And this really super feels like it does or will violate HIPAA and FERPA.

I don’t think it’s the case. Windows doesn’t store anything out of your hard drive, Microsoft doesn’t have access to it. If anything in this recorded screencaps leaks out is because the leaker has access to your computer already, in which case those documents were already compromised even without your activity story on.

I think the risk here is much more… Domestic. As in “anyone with access to your computer (your family, your employer, your flatmates, whatever) have full access to see everything you have done with that computer in the last three months: basically you must assume that anyone with access to your computer is looking over your shoulder every single time you use it, because it may become the case.

bro

I need everyone to reblog this post shaming jared for his crimes of not muting any of the 500+ servers he has joined for emotes. Get his ass NOW

pings bypass mutes. thats the problem. they ARE muted

does this not work

THESIS: the real reason that people stay on this hellsite is not “chronological order” or “the drama” or whatever (per se), but is instead linked to how tumblr, unlike most social media, is not optimised to give content as short of a half-life as possible, but instead is optimised to let content continue to cycle for months, years, even decades. this has in turn led to a more consistent centralised site “culture” in which there is more coherent linkage among different areas of the site, thus also explaining why its content permeates so thoroughly throughout the internet.

This is not an exaggeration.  Your download speed would slow down to the point where Windows would make this kind of absurd estimate, and you’d sigh and leave the room for a while (because you couldn’t use the computer while it was doing this for fear it would crash and lose all your progress) and then you’d come back in 40 minutes and maybe it would now say 52 years or maybe it would say 3 minutes, who knew, not Windows.

As usual, there’s an XKCD for that:

ok but the way he's still kind of getting outcunted by the guy on the left

I have a downright pavlovian response to seeing him but instead of drooling I weep and wail and cry
