not my tweet but I thought it would be a good psa for artists here too
Oh this is a common scam I find at work. Any file that:
isn't jpg, jpeg, pdf, or png
Is a file extension you don't recognise (this one is a visual basic file, used for scripting, but others like exe or bat are used)
has a very low or unexpected file size (this one's is less than 1KB, or 0.001MB, a good reference should be at least 500KB)
Is likely a scam. Stay safe kids.
Google doesn't want to send you visitors anymore
Website owners used to have an unwritten agreement with search engines: you get to display a short excerpts of our stuff in exchange for sending us visitors. But now, it seems Google has no interest in ever letting traffic leave their walled-off ecosystem.
Google Search Is Over As You Know It - "Google is also introducing... interactive features into the search experience. This means people will spend even less time clicking the traditional blue links that Google Search used to return."
Google Unveils Even Worse Search - "Google now appears even happier to forego that traffic altogether, keeping users on its own page instead of sending them to the places where the information itās regurgitating came from." Ā
A New Era for AI Search - "You can easily ask a follow-up question right from an AI Overview, and flow into a conversational back and forth with AI Mode." Meaning, not clicking a damn thing.
So, at what point do website owners just block Google? If we're the ones doing all the work, what good are they to us? Do you have any interest in working for Google for free? Because I sure don't.
Lmao we have to fucking destroy this company are you fucking kidding me with this shit
Google is transforming Search from a list of links into an AI-powered experience filled with conversational answers, autonomous agents, and
Reminding everyone that this exists, and you can make it your default search engine (as explained here)
Here, have every historic OS
Important rules for the "age verification" era of the internet that we're living in:
1. Do not do age verification.
2. If you have to do age verification, cheat. Do not under any circumstances give them your real ID.

"...although the change was expected to affect only 3% of users, āthis could amount to 2m devices rendered obsolete according to some estimates, potentially generating over 624 tons of e-wasteā."
Up to 2m e-readers made before 2013 will no longer be able to download new titles

I am once again begging you to get your hands on physical media and/or save your fave stuff OFFLINE.
if the app hasn't updated for you yet:
go to the google play store. click on your profile picture in the top right corner. click "manage apps and device" and then at the top of the screen, go to the Manage tab. select the tumblr app, and click the three dots in the top right corner. there will be a check box for "enable auto update" and you want to un-check it.
Adding to this (sorry - have to say this now) if you are on iPhone there is no way to only stop one app from auto updating. but it is possible to stop all apps auto updating. go to settings, search for update, find app updates (under app store), and turn off.
I donāt mean to be old but computer used to just have games. U didnt have to pay for em either but if u wanted u could get a little CD that put the game onto the computer and you could play it forever and ever even if the company that made it went to hell and shit. You didnāt even need the internet or wifi or anything. And it was pretty neat
It would be a finished game, too. If you played long enough and did really good you could go to all the places and get all the stuff. You never had to pay more money later it was just there. onn compter
every accusation is a confession with fascists but it can be hard to remember that also applies to their obsession with 'the enemy is both strong and weak.'
Reminder: don't believe this yourself. Fascists don't just feel insecure, they are insecure because they control structures people rely on to strip the security away from anyone on a whim. But this a phenomenon that is contained inside the fascists, you don't want it inside the you. Got it?
The result of this self-destructive social engineering is that fascists self-fulfilling-prophecy themselves: they fucking suck but also need to be taken seriously anyway. This is harder than it sounds. For example, a fascist administration is attempting to assemble personal information of its citizens:
Is this act of surveillance immense and terrifying? Yes.
Is their data supremacy largely bullshit? Also Yes.
Should regular people stop assuming even 'secure' solutions are private? Yes.
Will this kind of surveillance largely be used to justify 'whatever' after the fact, rather than identify dissenters proactively? Yes, Again.
Can this government act with minimal oversight to threaten its own population? Yes!
Does it know its hands from its ass? No.
Can you be identified personally for your speech by the government? Yes.
Will they need to subpoena documents from another country to do it because their own record keeping is in the shitter and you can use a VPN? It's probable if your speech is 'important' enough.
Are there trigger happy shitheads on the ground? Unfortunately Yes.
Are they so incompetent they can't handle their basic responsibilities? Yes and that's not better because that makes them more ashamed, more trigger-happy.
It's really hard to coherently communicate how capable/shitty fascists are because of this. "You need to worry about opsec, but also you don't need to worry about hypercompetent surveillance," but, like, what does that mean? Be worried a medium amount?
An empowered idiot is always one of the hardest things to impede because while they can do anything it's hard to describe when or how or how effectively they actually will until it's too late and they've already done irreversible harm.
Verified: Microsoft 365 gets massive 45% price hike ā and it's all to do with AI tools (Tom's Guide - January 17, 2025)
oopsie i tripped and spilled my link to archive dot org's downloadable copy of Microsoft office suite for 2007, which features no AI tools and is a powerful word processor that still holds up just fine on windows 10!
Also gonna throw in a link to LibreOffice, should that suit anyone's needs.
hbo max blocks screenshots even when I use the snipping tool AND firefox AND ublock which is a fucking first. i will never understand streaming services blocking the ability to take screenshots thats literally free advertising for your show right there. HOW THE HELL IS SOMEBODY GONNA PIRATE YOUR SHOW THROUGH SCREENSHOTS. JACKASS
somewhere out there is a guy who meticulously takes screenshots of every individual frame of his favorite tv shows and then painstakingly etches each one onto a roll of film which he puts into his old timey projector and recreates the footage as a silent film with his own lavishly hand-lettered dialogue cards and original score that he plays on his upright piano and charges audiences one shiny penny a play. at last, big media has finally outsmarted ol' Zachary Zoetrope
PSA for everyone who doesn't know, explained simply
this is NOT because of blocking screenshots, it's because of HOW streaming sites use your computer's hardware to optimise performance, which means the thing rendering the video and the thing capturing your screen aren't the SAME thing. so they can't talk together.
you can fix this by going to your browser settings, searching for "hardware acceleration", and turning that off.
This also fixes screen sharing to other screens. It has been GODSEND
type this in the toolbar to find this setting in firefox: about:preferences#searchResults
