It's been a while since I updated my pinned, and as I haven't recently changed my URL it's time for a change!

Hi, I'm Lethe Waters - or more appropriately, the identity i present as a coherent interactive layer for digital self-persistence is that of my fursona, Lethe Waters. I'm a baker, dev, and philosopher mostly present/interactive here online.

Reference sheet by @ljesak. Personal trivia below the cut!

Favorite stuff:

Reading: Philosophy, generally ethics and epistemology. Science fiction, cyberpunk, and speculative fiction for fiction.

Listening: Complexteo, dubstep, trance, prog rock, baroque.

Games: Armored Core 6, Battle Group VR, recovering PoE/LoL/WoW player.

Commonly used tags:

#Lethe's Flow: my writings, usually either rambling bits about life, philosophy, or something else that caught my attention

#FromTheFlask: similar to above, but more journalish.

#ADHD: I have it, and talk about it kind of regularly

#NSFW Philosophy: an ongoing writing project of mine, about ontopathological epistemology in media. Heavily influenced by critical and ethical analytics, mostly applied to sexual or kink-adjacent content.

Migraine clusters are returning, if we're quiet/less response. That's why, <3 hopefully we handle this one a bit quicker than the last one!

kind of a shot in the dark here with my tiny blog, but my girlfriend needs help. her wife is threatening her with homelessness, and she has no bank account, no phone number, and nowhere to go. she’s trapped right now and we need to get her out.

im trying to bring her here ASAP, but my budget is tight this summer and im two paychecks away from being able to fly her out. the flight will cost about $500 and the taxi about $150, so around $700 in total.

please help if you can, and reblog if you can’t do anything else, it means a lot

Tell me when you get bored. A story about doses. [x]

I posted this on twitter and had a variety of aggressive ableism thrown my way.

This is a story about changing what I can in spite of what I cannot for the comfort of my loved ones. The thing that others find to be hurtful about me is that I like to spend time in silent solitude. People who love me often feel hurt that I tend to solve my own problems instead of leaning on them.

When we spend too much time together, people find my neutrality to be concerning, and it becomes too much for people to be unable to read me.

To show the people I love that I enjoy their company in ways they can understand, I pool my energy together to be high-energy, peppy, and social. Since this is not my natural state of being, it takes effort, which can only be expended in small doses. I amplify the things people like in me while filtering out everything they dislike about me when I am in their company.

I change my behaviors for those I love, but at the end of the day, I cannot change my neutral state of being, which is the thing that they want most out of me.

This is a story about me accommodating people in the best way I know how, not the other way around. I would truly appreciate it if people don't misconstrue this anecdote as me asking for dismissal of hurtful behavior when in reality, people find hurt in the fact that I simply exist, and I must change for them.

"wise master," said the student, "how can i attain greatness at posting?"

"simple," replied the master. "through patience and long practice."

"but master," said the student, bursting out with impatience, "every time i go online i see people my age getting 50k notes, 100k notes!"

the master chuckled. "the self-assuredness of the 22-year-old lends itself well to the occasional callow foray into posting, it's true. but for posts of true substance, one must turn to the mentally ill 30-something tgirls. observe."

she pulled up a post on her phone. the student peered at it. he did not laugh. he said, "but master -- this post only has 12 notes. and it's not even funny."

"kill yourself," said the master.

AUR has been hit with malware

Per the CachyOS subreddit:

"As the title states, the Arch AUR has been hit by a huge malware infection campaign over the last couple of days. There's an earlier post referring to alvr. That's not the only package it's hundreds of them, many of them Aur packages average people would install like apple-music-desktop.

I don't have the full details of the scope of the malware campaign. I know it's a credential stealer so it steals ssh keys and browser login info and apparently has rootkit potential.

This was widespread and targeted orphaned packages. Aur for some reason allows other people to take over existing projects.

The bottom line is if you used the aur over the last couple of days you may have been infected and the problem with taking over orphaned packages I believe remains. I personally would not use the Aur for the foreseeable future, and ideally not at all. It's a security risk."

There is a script that you can run on your machine to detect if you have a package that is known to have been infected which you can view here. I have also linked the subreddit post here.

Just download it, make it executable and run the script with sudo and let it run, it will tell you what it found once it's complete.

Pls reblog to signal boost!!

[proxmox-official]

Per the thread again: As I was interested in more in-depth information some can be found here, as well as a preliminary analysis of the malware:

https://ioctl.fail/preliminary-analysis-of-aur-malware/

Users can also run the following to check for malicious packages:

tumblr staff will let the thousands of porn bots on here run rampant yet will take down trans comics with no actual nudity

i originally reblogged this post, but since staff took it down you can't fucking see my reblog anymore. well i liked this comic, i want it on my blog, and it does not include any fucking nudity. especially compared to all the straight up porn staff allows to go free

so here it is

isnt it funny (read: im fucking exhausted) that at the end of the day it all comes back to binaristic thinking, no matter how much tmes claim they want to "abolish the binary entirely"

"transandrophobia has to exist as the transmisogyny but for trans men." "why cant we get umamusume but with anime horse boys :(" "trans women and trans men suffer differently but equally." "forcemasc." "but i want a blue version :((((((("

you see two classifications that happen to be related by a common factor (transness) and have arbitrarily decided they must be equal and opposite in every way. i cannot think of anything that is more "adhering to a binary" than that

[kayla-denker]

And then they denounce tme/tma framework as "recreating the gender binary"....

[analog-delight]

If you don't feel safe talking to your partner about transmisogyny, or even reblogging posts about transmisogyny, you need to start making plans to get the fuck out of that relationship. Full stop.
