Eye of the Storm

It's Hoo-rah-KAN, named after the Taino word for storm. 'Cause I'm Puerto Rican. This is mostly a fandom blog, but it does often verge into religion, and on occasion into politics.

Hey everyone. There's a new youtube feature that rolled out just yesterday that's raising some privacy concerns.

Expanding ways to share on YouTube

People in the U.S., U.K., Brazil, and Singapore can now share videos and chat with friends directly within the YouTube app. The update bring

This post talks about a new DM feature in youtube. What it fails to mention is that as part of this new feature is that when you send someone a link to a video, and they open it in the youtube app, they will see who sent them the link. Specifically, your channel name.

If your google account name is your real name, so is your channel name by default.

This means the new default behavior is that everyone you send a youtube link to will see your full name if they open it in the mobile app.

To turn this off:

Go to your youtube app settings

Go to Privacy

Turn off "Channel visibility for shared links"

Trimming the source id (the stuff after the '?' in links) will also prevent this from happening.

When you are posting on tumblr, do not add your commentary to the text of the post, in case others disagree with you and the original poster may come and say to you, "Make your own post," and then you will be in disgrace. But when you post, add your commentary to the tags, so that when the original poster sees them, they may say to you, ‘Friend, do not hide this in the tags'; then you will be honored in the presence of all who blog with you.

This post got weird

This post started with fucking hairless sharks. Weird wasn’t a destination so much as a jumping off point.

I’ve never been so surprised not to encounter the word “smooth” in a text post

[the-final-sif]

Smooth shark post happened circa 2017, this post occurred in 2013 (posted) + pun added and 2015 (Jennytrout enhancement), years before smooth sharks would be discovered and revealed to the public.

Brian McFadden: Is Google Cooked? (via Daily Kos)

[byjove]

I can’t remember if I told you guys this but my grandpa paid a guy to put up a rock retaining wall in the backyard when my grandparents moved into their house in 1966. They live at the bottom of a mountain. The wall finally collapsed this year and my grandfather with dementia was PISSED OFFFFFF and he wanted so badly to call the guy who did it and chew him out for doing a bad job. My grandma is trying to explain that the wall lasted 60 years and the guy who did the work is probably dead and it TURNS OUT HE IS STILL ALIVE. Now we’re worried grandpa is going to get through to him (small town) and we’re going to see two 85 year old men come to blows over a rock wall that has been there since the mid-60s. My grandpa is a scrapper, he’s been to jail over a bar fight, the possibility that he WOULD fight this guy is high.

To top it off? The stone mason is the only person in town with one arm so grandpa would definitely recognize him if he saw him. If that is your grandpa, please protect him from my grandpa.

I'm watching The Gorge (2025) and it's wildly, deliriously cute, but I also think it would make a more profound statement if these two extremely isolated, trauma-bonded people did not look like new Hollywood's wet dream.

Last week on “The View,” co-host Sunny Hostin mentioned using ChatGPT to make notes to her husband “nicer.” Veteran tech journalist and podcaster Kara Swisher, sitting in for Joy Behar, had some choice words for her, namely, “Do you not have friends [you] can do that with?” When Hostin enthused that she has “a PhD in ChatGPT” and regularly uses the LLM for personal and marital counseling, Swisher held up a warning finger: “Please don’t do that.”

No Guns, No Drugs—Why Did We Blow Up These Boats?

Shocking new facts are still emerging about the campaign against ‘drug boats.’

Our government is still murdering people in boats, by the way, and now we discovered that the criteria for what boats get destroyed do not involve drugs or guns.
