The Ritual

The ritual does not revive the Ender Dragon- it merely re-animates its body, but not the mind. What mind?

If you are on a Windows 11 computer, pause everything you are doing for one minute and:

Open computer settings

Click on Accessibility on the left-hand menu

Scroll down the Accessibility menu and click on the Keyboard Option

Under the "related settings" tab, click "Typing" which should have a description of "spellcheck, autocorrect, text suggestions."

Turn off the AI "correct misspelled words"

and most importantly: turn off Typing Insights.

[ID: a screenshot of the above mentioned Windows 11 settings, showing that Typing Insights is now turned off, with the following description from Microsoft: "Windows is using artificial intelligence to help you type To help you save time and type efficiently, Windows can learn to suggest words, autocorrect spelling mistakes, and interpret swiped typing. Take a look at the insights below to see up-to-the-minute stats on how Windows has learned to improve typing for you. These stats are stored only on this device and Microsoft does not collect the typing insights data." End ID]

"But Mx. November, it says right there Microsoft doesn't collect the typing insights data!"

I mean, yeah, it says that..... for *now.*

It also only specifies that Microsoft themselves don't collect it, and they wouldn't have made this something that I was automatically, secretly opted in for without my knowledge if they didn't have something to be gained by me not knowing it exists!

I only found this because a cat walked on the keyboard and turned on Filter Keys and while trying to figure out why my keyboard was just making chirping noises instead of typing, I happened to click on "typing insights" by accident.

Generative AI, and especially AI that is used to "personalize" and track your activity across the web and on your computer are never going to be in your best interest, it is always going to serve these companies in whatever way will line their pockets the most, and all it takes is updating their terms of service once, and then all of that data they promised they weren't collecting suddenly all belongs to them.

Minecraft history is being made today! If you've never heard of Kurtjmac, he's been walking for 14 years in Minecraft and today will finally be arriving at the Farlands in an original world! You should absolutely tune into the stream. We've got a level 27 hype train, which hit level 17 before he even started streaming; we've got notch and mojang watching; we even had a Doc raid before he went up! He's also got a charity fundraiser for UNRWA. If you'd like to see the conclusion to his 14 year saga, tune in here!

This is a Moving Forward PSA for everyone using AO3. I am witnessing the results of a culture clash and communication failure. Not a lack of communication, but a misunderstanding caused by changes in fandom culture.

Before fic tagging was common, fics weren’t tagged. You had a pairing, if applicable, an author’s note about genre or general content, and if they were feeling charitable, a vague content warning. There are even a few genres of fic where even vaguely tagging literally spoils the plot and impact (such as horror, psyche thriller, in which the likely content is implicit to the genre). As a result, there is a basic category tag that permits this, as a courtesy to “old-fashioned” writers.

“No Archive Warnings Apply” means the fic is PG13 at worst, probably fluff, totally safe.

“Choose Not to Use Archive Warnings” is the polar opposite. It’s a glaring Enter at Your Own Risk billboard. It means: a shitload of warnings apply but I ain’t telling because this story requires shock value. It’s very important to read the author’s notes for those fics because they might be using that older format from above.

But without the context of fandom culture that generated AO3, it’s understandably easy to conflate the two categories, given their similar wording.

“No Archive Warnings Apply” means there’s no

graphic depictions of violence

major character death

underage

rape/non-con

“Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings” = HERE BE DRAGONS. (implies that one or more of the above exists, but the author doesn’t want to give anything away by tagging)

DISCORD HAS DONE THE SHITTY THING WE ALL HATE

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU UPLOAD

mlembug

license to use

If you send a message with an image to a channel, it gets sent to discord servers.

reproduce

Once they receive it, it has to be copied into their internal storage

distribute

and sent to others when they visit that channel. This is basic Discord functionality.

create derivative works of

someone on a mobile phone clicks on a channel and the discord app downloads a thumbnail (a downscaled version of the image), saving 4.7MB or so on transfer, and a whole bunch of time. the thumbnail is a derivative work, legally speaking.

display

the discord app can display messages sent by you to another user.

perform

the discord app can play audio and video files uploaded by you to another user.

limited purpose of providing, developing and improving our services

well yeah

This license is worldwide

they'd have to geoblock your messages otherwise

non-exclusive

you still own the thing as far as copyrights go

royalty-free

they'd have to pay you every time they show your messages to someone otherwise

sublicensable

they can let someone else (say, a bot like pluralkit) access your messages

transferable

actually not sure about this one. that being said while being suspicious of "privacy policy updates" is good, the screenshot above shows nothing and is more fearmongery than informational.

National Public Data is back online. Protect your privacy from it now - and check if other people-search sites have your information.

Over a year ago, National Public Data (NPD), a search site for people, earned a place in privacy infamy for a security breach that revealed the personal data of 3 billion individuals (that's billion with a "b"). Now, after disappearing, NPD is back. As ZDNET sister publication PCMag reported, NPD is open for snooping again under a new owner, the rather mysterious-sounding Perfect Privacy LLC.

Oh boy. Better head over to nationalpublicdata.com and see if your profile is there. Then follow the handy instructions in the ZDNET article to have yourself removed:

How to remove your information from NPD

Search your name on nationalpublicdata.com.

When you find your profile, click "View Full Profile."

Copy its URL.

Go to nationalpublicdata.com/optout.html.

Drop the URL into the "Your Profile Link" field and click "Request Removal."

Enter an email address, and the site will send you an email requesting that you click to confirm deletion.

You'll need a separate email address for each profile you want to delete.

ralfmaximus

Are you listed at the National Public Database site?

I was, and it was accurate. I requested removal.

I was, but it was only somewhat accurate. I requested removal.

I was, but everything was wrong. I requested removal.

I am. I tried to remove myself but it didn't work.

I am. People can look me up, whatever

Never looked, don't plan to.

minor tumblr user's carrd: over 25 dni!!

25 year old who was going to prey on this minor: oh damn 😔 here I was planning to groom them but i can't because of their dni 😔 what a shame 😔😔😔😔😔

edgebug

actual things you can do to keep yourself safe online instead of relying on a dni:

don't use your real name! not even your first name, if it's unusual!

don't tell anybody where you live! not even what state you're in! keep that shit a sexy little mystery that's between you and your mail carrier!!

liberally use the block feature!!!! use it!!! just block people if they give you the heebie jeebies!!

don't post selfies that you've also posted on facebook or anywhere else! reverse image search can be used to find your name if the same image is tied to fb or insta or anywhere else your actual name might be

consider not posting selfies at all actually esp if you're a minor......., shit can be dangerous

there's no reason you have to advertise your age if you're a minor <3 you don't have to tell anyone! don't lie, and please don't interact with 18+ content, or with adults who are uncomfortable with people under 18 interacting--but you don't have to go out of you way to say on your blog "hey I'm a minor and a member of a vulnerable community"! and if someone asks then you are allowed to tell them to fuck off

tell people to fuck off if they ask you questions that could be used to identify you

edgebug

this all counts for discord servers too btw. I'm 26 and as a kid on the internet I was warned about "chatrooms" and told to stay safe and not give out any personal info in a chatroom because that's dangerous. And It Is

discord servers are chatrooms y'all. not everyone in your public fandom discord is your friend
