The way adult fandom people hold indie online creators and cartoons to a much higher standard than their actual local politicians. You could be putting that energy into terrorizing and protesting conservatives at your town hall and actually make a good material impact on the world but instead you're background checking everything the trans woman who made the amazing digital circus has ever said

NEW TUMBLR SCAM

So some asshole has thought up a new Tumblr scam: it's a post on a Tumblr account that's named something to make it look official-ish.

Variations include:

account-help

account-sync

account-update

account-updating

These posts show up on your dashboard, telling you that because they think you've monetized your Tumblr account, they're putting you in the penalty box sending you to the cornfield setting you to "Lurker Mode" where you can post but no one will see your posts. And, naturally, all you have to do is click on the helpful link to give tumblrsupport your account data to get it fixed.

Friends, this is a big fat lie.

The official location of Tumblr Support is https://www.tumblr.com/support or https://support.tumblr.com. And guess what? They'll already have your account information.

Tumblr has no such thing as Lurker Mode.

If you right-click on their link, you'll see it's a munged/shortened link. You can go to a site like https://www.expandurl.net to expand that link and see where it takes you: it's not Tumblr Support.

@staff, please be aware this is happening.

Be aware. Be careful. Don't give your account info to anyone. Be safe, and happy blogging!

Google Chrome has been installing an AI model on users devices without their consent.

[itsfennix]

UPDATE:

This article seems to have a good fix that doesn't require registry edits. So far, the weights.bin file hasn't redownloaded on my pc after this. Chrome might undo it whenever it updates, but at least it's a quick fix.

TL;DR for that article's fix:

Paste "chrome://flags" in chrome search bar

On that page, search for “optimization-guide-on-device-model” and set its dropdown menu to "disabled"

Repeat for “prompt-api-for-gemini-nano”

Click "relaunch button on bottom of screen

Delete the entire “OptGuideOnDeviceModel” folder in your %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\ folder

PLUS, Google now says they're rolling out options to PERMANENTLY opt out of on-device AI models. For that, type "chrome://settings/system" in chrome search, then disable "On-device AI"

Hey, so if you have Windows 11 installed and have been losing your mind over the fact that you can't find your own files because Windows is now prioritizing internet search results first, you can fix it by following this guide:

How to Disable Windows Web Search and Speed Up Your PC

Stop the OS from pulling up web results when you just want files and apps.

As someone with over 900 GB of intentionally and properly named files on her computer (I do a lot of digital art and digital media work that requires high-volume files that function off of dependencies), this feature was making me furious. I followed the above instructions and can confirm that the method outlined solves the problem.

I have just tried this, it works and the explanation how to do it was so user friendly and clearly laid out.

10 and 11 are also kinda secretly adding Windows Copilot to your computer when you're not looking. Even without software updates. You can follow this guide to disable Copilot

How to disable Copilot in Windows 11

Completely disable Copilot in Windows 11 in just a few simple steps.

The guide uses a program called gpedit (group policy editor), if you can't find it on your computer, follow this guide to install/enable it, and remember to always run as administrator:

Run these commands in command prompt.

Win + Q

Search: command prompt

Right-click > Run as admin

Copy, paste, and enter these commands:

FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~*.mum") DO ( DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F" )

FOR %F IN ("%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~*.mum") DO ( DISM /Online /NoRestart /Add-Package:"%F" )

Test it by opening Win + R

Type: gpedit.msc

See if it opens
