Happy Pride!

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

[thesaltofcarthage]

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.

I know the hype right now is to boycott youtube but youtube is also a part of google, so why not degoogle as well?

Here is a reddit resource link and image post via bsky to get started:

EDIT: I'd like to iterate that most, if not all of these apps are for the Android phone since Android phones come with google already installed.

eh get rid of Brave Browser, it's based on Google Chrome and they're not exactly the most trustworthy kind. Actually, cut out anything Brave to be safe. On the upside, Lynx is still in active development

Addressing a few concerns

So, I assume most of you don't know, but there is a bit of drama inside the Paralives community. It's funny because this whole thing is revolving around The Sims 3.

TwistedMexi made his first paywalled "early access" mod called Sims 3 Camera, and I've been working on the same thing as he was. 1. Let's get the "clone" allegation out of the way first.

(Source: TwistedMexi's discord server)

TwistedMexi is accusing me of cloning his mod, but let’s look at the facts. Thankfully, I always use GitHub, so the commit dates are there to prove it.

(2026-05-26 22:27:02 +0200) is a timestamp of the first commit with hash d82ddd909e06833b0f8d5d439ad602d04a4f3e08

(2026-05-27T19:57:44.000+00:00) is a timestamp of the publication date of his Patreon post.

Honestly, I didn't know I could see the future, but ok.

2. The second thing I want to address is that currently there are a lot of awful comments directed at Tmex. PLEASE do not harass other creators.

3. Regarding early access and paywalls: My mods are developed in my spare time as a passion project. I believe in keeping my work accessible to everyone, which is why all of my content will remain completely free, forever. I believe the community should play a role in maintaining projects if the original creator steps away, which is why I always share the source code for my projects Free mods are a pillar of a healthy community, whereas paywalls only lead to gatekeeping and unnecessary drama. My hope is that more creators choose to release their mods in a way that prioritizes community growth and shared resources.

A reblog would be greatly appreciated to help spread this message.

Thanks for reading,

xoxo, Arro Ps. If you want to see a broader discussion on this topic, I recommend this Reddit post that goes way more in-depth than I do. It's a good read.

[crazy-hazy-sims]

and it starts.... "paywalling script mods is fine because the devs only talked about steam shop mods" SIGHHHHHHH

paralives players parablr please dont let this greed be the norm complain to the devs alot so they make an official announcement not just a discord message

i mean why would the devs be okay with early access or paywalls when they very very clearly said the game will be free with no DLCs

sigh

Favorite Inks: Tattoos for Paralives

Happy Paralives release day! I'm extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to play Paralives ahead of the release day - big thanks to the team for sharing the game code with me.

To celebrate, I'm sharing some of my favorite tattoo designs as custom tattoos for Paralives. I originally created this artwork for The Sims 4, but now your Paras can also enjoy it. The beautiful thing about tattoos in Paralives is that you can control the scale, the placement, and the rotation of the tattoo decal, so you can be quite creative with your choices!

Download for free on Steam Workshop* / Support me**

What's included:

6 tattoo designs

Fully recolorable (1 recolorable channel)

Adjustable opacity

Available for ages that support tattoos

*Log in to Steam or Paralives to view. Steam Workshop allows for easy downloading of mods and custom content for Paralives. It also enables creators to easily update any uploaded content, which in turn makes it easier for you to track the status of your mods. And, it's free!

**Your support means that I can continue publishing my custom content for free. Follow me: Patreon / Tumblr / Instagram / Bluesky

[ilovesaramoon]

These tats are for the new Paralives game. Not for S4.

For those of you with android devices, you can use the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) standalone app control program to get rid of all the bloatware, data mining, and AI crap - no coding needed!

There are also Android-based alternatives like GrapheneOS and LineageOS, which are pretty easy to install. These are unfortunately available for a more limited range of devices (Graphene is ironically Pixel only, while Lineage supports more), but it's very worth checking out whether one of them might work for your phone.

GrapheneOS: the private and secure mobile OS

GrapheneOS is a security and privacy focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility.

LineageOS Android Distribution

Typing this from Graphene now, in fact. But, both of those take the Android Open Source Project, without all the bloatware--and largely de-Google the whole thing. They give you much more control over privacy and what the apps you choose to install can do and access on your phone.

I know Graphene sandboxes everything, including the optionally installed Google Play Services which a lot of apps unfortunately require to run. (Lineage uses an alternative to Play Services instead.) So, you can install what would normally be unacceptably intrusive apps and just lock them away from pulling any funny shit with your data, or phoning home. Including the couple of Google things I do still keep around.

I also prefer running much more transparent, privacy-respecting open source apps where possible. Besides the transparency, I'd rather avoid the shitty tech corps entirely where I can. There are pretty good alternatives available for a lot of the usual suspects.

AlternativeTo lets you find apps and software for Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, Android, Android Tablets, Web Apps, Online, Windows Tab

An alternative app store:

F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy
