Save My Child – Help Is Urgently Needed!💔

So many people in the LA Fires have lost their home. This one hurts, Melissa is the sweetest person I’ve ever met and SO talented.

Melissa Fahn, the voice of Gaz from Invader Zim, has lost her home

We had our booths real close to each other at NostalgiaCon, and she came over to browse my booth and chat. She was so nice and insisted on buying something.

Please give her any support you can

PSA for Switch owners

The latest 11.0 update means that Google Analytics is a thing on the switch and turned on. What that means is that Nintendo has a deal with Google to share with them your data for advertisement purposes.

To turn it off

go to the eShop

go to your profile where your funds and account info is

go down to the bottom of the page

there you will see “Google Analytics Preferences”

select the Change

select “Don’t Share”

Please spread the word. Really shitty of Nintendo to just quietly start allowing Google to spy on users for advertising.

New Windows AI feature records everything you’ve done on your PC

Recall uses AI features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."

I think every computer user needs to read this because holy fucking shit this is fucking horrible.

So Windows has a new feature incoming called Recall where your computer will first, monitor everything you do with screenshots every couple of seconds and "process that" with an AI.

Hey, errrr, fuck no? This isn't merely because AI is really energy intensive to the point that it causes environmental damage. This is because it's basically surveilling what you are doing on your fucking desktop.

This AI is not going to be on your desktop, like all AI, it's going to be done on another server, "in the cloud" to be precise, so all those data and screenshot? They're going to go off to Microsoft. Microsoft are going to be monitoring what you do on your own computer.

Now of course Microsoft are going to be all "oooh, it's okay, we'll keep your data safe". They won't. Let me just remind you that evidence given over from Facebook has been used to prosecute a mother and daughter for an "illegal abortion", Microsoft will likely do the same.

And before someone goes "durrr, nuthin' to fear, nuthin to hide", let me remind you that you can be doing completely legal and righteous acts and still have the police on your arse. Are you an activist? Don't even need to be a hackivist, you can just be very vocal about something concerning and have the fucking police on your arse. They did this with environmental protesters in the UK. The culture war against transgender people looks likely to be heading in a direction wherein people looking for information on transgender people or help transitioning will be tracked down too. You have plenty to hide from the government, including your opinions and ideas.

Again, look into backing up your shit and switching to Linux Mint or Ubuntu to get away from Microsoft doing this shit.

Northern Gaza has been starving for 2 months now

I've been trying to make characters to go with my brother's oc Cadmus, and I finally have some! Left is Mitsuaki, a warrior from Xinaru and resistance fighter. Middle is Asra, a lich and necromancer! And right is of course Cadmus :p

[IMAGE ID: Left to right stand a human man in samurai armor, an elf mage in a green robe, and a kobold in Victorian Era garb. They pose against a gray background.]

parents told me last night after seeing my maga sister at church that they are giving me til next sunday to leave. the waitlists for shelters here are very long. i live outside of the city anyways in a rural area & would have to walk for hours to get to one without an uber/lyft etc. unless one of my few acquaintances from high school who might still live in the city can take me in for the rest of the month i probably will be sleeping in a tent outside in the cold with packs of noisy coyotes about. i have a place to go in january, i just need money to eat while i’m here & get my stuff there so i don’t have to abandon my things for my parents to sell.

please help a disabled trans mexican native (apache + chichimeca) 19 y/o this holiday season? thank you everyone ❤️
