[trupowieszcz-moved-deactivated2]

does anyone know if i can like block sites from appearing in my google images searches??? i keep getting those awful ai generated things with a hand coming out of a man's neck and just straight up not what i was looking for, because this was in a search for "curly hair in medieval paintings". it happens every time i search for anything vaguely art-reference-like and it's so fucking annoying and it clutters my search results so much. i don't wanna add specific commands to the query every time too, what i need is like a browser extension or something

[trupowieszcz-moved-deactivated2]

uBlacklist – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

Download uBlacklist for Firefox. Blocks sites you specify from appearing in Google search results

okay i found one! it works! everyone come get your blacklist 👍👍👍

[cutabello]

I made a list of as many ai sites i could find to block with ublacklist, just copy and paste them in ublacklist's options menu

So it turns out that ChatGPT not only uses a ton shit of energy, but also a ton shit of water. This is according to a new study by a group of researchers from the University of Colorado Riverside and the University of Texas Arlington, Futurism reports.

Which sounds INSANE but also makes sense when you think of it. You know what happens to, for example, your computer when it’s doing a LOT of work and processing. You gotta cool those machines.

And what’s worrying about this is that water shortages are already an issue almost everywhere, and over this summer, and the next summers, will become more and more of a problem with the rising temperatures all over the world. So it’s important to have this in mind and share the info. Big part of how we ended up where we are with the climate crisis is that for a long time politicians KNEW about the science, but the large public didn’t have all the facts. We didn’t have access to it. KNOWING about things and sharing that info can be a real game-changer. Because then we know up to what point we, as individuals, can have effective actions in our daily lives and what we need to be asking our legislators for.

And with all the issues AI can pose, I think this is such an important argument to add to the conversation.

[fruityshirts]

I often think issues like this are a result of “The Cloud,” and by that I mean the propagation of this notion that data and the internet exist out in the ether somewhere and not like...on someone else’s hard drives which are housed in hundreds and thousands of huge warehouses which require climate control.

Most humans already have a LOT of magical thinking about computers, and I really wish we spent more time teaching not just basic computing skills (how to navigate an interface), but basic INFRASTRUCTURE knowledge. When you think of it as chatting with Jeff Bezos’s huge garage full of nerd hardware, it’s easier to make the logical leap to say “hey i wonder what kind of resources it takes to keep all these hard drives from overheating...?”

[queeranarchism]

We need to systematically think of internet usage, data centers and computer processing as things that emit CO2, use water and are dependent on dirty mineral mining for chips and batteries. Higher resolution streaming? More cloud storage? More AI? That all means more CO2 emission, more water consumption and more mining. This kind of ‘progress’ means the world burns faster.

In the coming years we might see a rising awareness of this at the individual level (”don’t leave your music streaming when you leave the house” etc) and while that’s not entirely useless, it’s important to remember that the problem is systematic. Tech companies are deliberately obscuring the pollution of their products from us, driving our ecosystems towards mass extinction for a profit in the same way other industries are.

New Things to be Cautious of on the Internet

On May 3rd, Google released 8 new top-level domains (TLDs) -- these are new values like .com, .org, .biz, domain names. These new TLDs were made available for public registration via any domain registrar on May 10th.

Usually, this should be a cool info, move on with your life and largely ignore it moment.

Except a couple of these new domain names are common file type extensions: ".zip" and ".mov".

This means typing out a file name could resolve into a link that takes you to one of these new URLs, whether it in an email, on your tumblr blog post, a tweet, or into file explorer on your desktop.

What was previously plain text could now resolve as link and go to a malicious website where people are expecting to go to a file and therefore download malware without realizing it.

Folk monitoring these new domain registrations are already seeing some clearly malicious actors registering an setting this up, some squatting the domain names trying to point out what a bad idea this was, some already trying to steal your login in credentials and personal info.

This is what we're seeing only 12 days into the domains being available (only 5 days publicly available).

What can you do? For now be real careful where you type in .zip or .mov, watch carefully what websites you're on, don't enable automatic downloads, be very careful when visiting any site on these new domains, and do not type in file names without spaces or other interrupters.

I'm seeing security officers for companies talking about wholesale blocking .zip and .mov domains, and that's probably wise.

Be cautious out there.

I don’t come here that often.

And I’ve already been insufferable online enough but lol I watched Razer’s special guest appearance on that one ep of YJ phantoms and it’s like a long dormant force burst out of me like “a sleeper cell agent code word” as another fan here said.

This took longer than I thought and incorporated an old GLTAS fanart I made almost 10 years ago for here.

I want to thank Giancarlo and Jim and Brandon/Greg for making this happen for us Fanterns, and all of you here on tumblr back in the magical little time we all spent during 2011-2013 loving this show.

[greenlantern-tas]

Greetings my fellow Fanterns.

It's been 9 years, 1 month, and 5 days since we all watched that heart-breaking and hopeful season 1 finale episode on March 16, 2013.

I'm obviously not on Tumblr much anymore, but just like when Justice League Action dropped a surprise Aya cameo (link) I have to jump on to make sure you all know about this.

Young Justice Phantoms, the ongoing Young Justice animated series now airing on HBO Max just dropped episode 419: "Encounter Upon the Razor's Edge!" It features two of our best Space Family reuniting and hints that Razer's search for Aya is still going and Hope continues.

I know that new design for Razer looks familiar to those that know the old Fantern tag #Blue Lantern Razer

GLTAS alumni worked on the episode with Jim Krieg and Giancarlo Volpe writing, Jason Spisak and Kevin M. Richardson reprising their roles as Razer and Kilowog, Chris Berkeley directing, and Sam Liu and Tom Derosier returning to boards!

There's an homage to the wonderful Frederik Wiedmann's score work as well.

A huge thank you to everyone on the show cast and crew who made this possible.

What a wonderful delight! Go check it out!

Man found the stoplight cameras were activated during yellow lights and decided to cut the wires of it.

[loremerchant]

Florida Man: Chaotic evil. New York Man: Chaotic good.

[timelessblasphemy]

Holy shit. Nah dude look up the entire story, it’s INSANE.

The dude got arrested once before this for using a painter’s extension rod to point the stoplight cameras into the sky instead of cutting the wires. He didn’t cut the wires until AFTER he got out after being arrested the first time–which he did after posting facebook videos that prove that the stoplights are intentionally rigged to trick drivers into citations–the yellow lights at intersections with cameras only last THREE SECONDS, as opposed to the five seconds they last at other stoplights without cameras in the same county.

When he cut the camera cords, he reported his deeds to the news -himself,- and then politicians pressured the local police force into arresting him. The local police and sheriff deputies actually SUPPORT him for his actions because the lights have been killing innocent people! During his most recent arrest, one of the Sheriff’s Deputies actually -offered to bail him out-. When he got home again after these incidents, there was a surveillance camera planted at his house BY THE GOVERNMENT to watch him! His reaction to being surveilled? He painted over the camera in America’s flat out fucking ballsiest “fuck you” to the gubmint I’ve ever heard of. And it gets EVEN CRAZIER. After painting over the camera, suddenly this guy–his name is Stephen Ruth by the way–started GETTING ATTEMPTS ON HIS LIFE. He reports that a car intentionally tried to hit him in a head-on collision, and after talking about the car to his neighbors, they confirmed that the car in question (Or at least, one that was visibly identical, its occupants included) had been staking out his house! Somebody was legitimately trying to MURDER HIM over his discovery and his actions!

As a final insult to injury, Ruth pointed out that the VAST majority of the cameras were found SPECIFICALLY in lower-to-middle-class neighborhoods. As well, the victims of these rigged stoplights tried to go to the local news station to talk about the deaths of their family members that occurred from the rigging. Aaaand… The local station, “News12″, never aired their interviews. Remember how I said that, after cutting the cables and calling the local news station, Ruth was arrested because of pressure from politicians? Get this: News12 is actually owned by CableVision, who PROVIDES INTERNET SERVICE TO THE CAMERAS.  Whereas mister Ruth was only trying to help people and save lives, he’s been caught up in a full-blown fucking government conspiracy that’s out for his blood. This guy isn’t Robin Hood, he makes Robin Hood look like a -CHUMP-.

Why does being a woman put you at greater risk of having anxiety? Part biology, part what we teach our kids about their place in the world.

[redshiftsinger]

So we’re teaching girls to be anxious wrecks and boys to disregard the possibility of consequences for incautious behavior.  This explains a lot of things. Like… why women are anxious wrecks and men are frequently surprised when it turns out their actions do in fact have consequences. And why men don’t bother asking for help even when they really need it, and thus more frequently die from treatable health conditions (including depression), while women end up getting a broad stereotype of being hypochondriacs (and then having a hard time getting treatment for legitimate health concerns).

Great example of how feminism serves not just women but people of all genders, including men.

Can’t cook? I got you, Sis:

Here’s two YouTube channels powered by two spectacular black women that I really enjoy.

Divas Can Cook; she teaches a variety of different meals and just general food know how, when it comes to baking, frying and making things from scratch. She features Traditional American dishes, to soul food, to even oriental cuisine. Check her out

Supa Badd; this is the YouTube channel ran by Supa_Cent aka Supa aka Nell. She is the creator and CEO of the Crayon Case Cosmetics. Local to New Orleans and known for her cooking. On this channel she features a variety of videos but it’s always a treat when she post some of her original recipient and general cooking hacks and short cuts. She specializes in Cajun and southern soul food dishes. She even sells her own seasoning which I bought. It’s great. Check her out!

Just thought I’d share. Hope this helps you non-cooking ass hoes out 💙✨

[fanonical]

my girlfriend wanted more than the amount of children you can adopt in skyrim so she taught herself how to mod it so that you could adopt them all, and uploaded it to a skyrim modding community so other likeminded player could utilize her code.

months later, an update was added to skyrim that was basically her code, verbatim, lifted directly from the mod, without credit or even permission. this made her so angry that she, at age seventeen, booked a flight to maryland, went to bethesda headquarters and demanded to see todd himself to yell at him.

of course, she was immediately denied this request and escorted out of the building because she was a scary six foot seventeen year old canadian lesbian who had flown all the way to yell at a man who probably had no idea her code was stolen, but she is still legitimately, 100% furious with him to this day

i fucking love her.

[postmodernrelicscollector]

Danny Devito took care of Mara Wilson when her mom died while filming Matilda. He babysat her when her parents had to go to the hospital and was there for her after she passed. On all accounts, Danny Devito is the person you want in your life

Friendly reminder that he also saved a suicidal teen’s life
