This weekend, Moonshot is broadcasting live from Baltimore to raise funds for CASA, an organization that provides legal assistance, community organizing, and educational resources to immigrant communities being threatened by ICE’s increased presence in Maryland and other mid-Atlantic states.
Hey everyone - we’re in the final hours of this stream, and an incredibly generous viewer has made a donation match for the next $1,000 we raise for CASA - if you can give to immigration aid, this is a great way to double whatever amount you can give!
Hey I just got slammed with a bunch of unexpected bills, I need $300 have $5 to my name. If you’ve enjoyed any of my recent projects please consider giving me a few bucks 💚
i was at an event last night in california and i went to the bar to order wine bc wine was like, a thing, and i looked at the menu and saw i was completely out of my depth bc idk any wine names, so i turned to my right and there was a man in a gorgeous suit standing at the bar beside me and i said “do you know anything about wine?” and he said “a little, yes!” i told him i liked white and dry wines and asked if he’d order for me. he asked the server for two glasses and had one poured for each of us and then he clinked his glass on mine but he didn’t take a sip, he just watched me taste mine and then he asked what i thought and i said “it’s pretty good, but like i said, i wouldn’t know.” he laughed and told me to have a good time & i walked away. fifteen minutes later i found out he’s the winemaker.
youtube should give viewers the option to grade video essays like it’s a high school english class assignment and if the median grade is below passing then they stick a huge png over your video advising that this is a vlog with slide show components. if the youtuber ever goes “umm. I’m not going to attempt to pronounce this” at any point then they’re genetically altered to be able to survive underground and let loose in an endless series of catacombs built beneath their home to live the rest of their life as the fabled town troll.
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.
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.
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.
there are multiple options here depending on how comfortable you are digging into your computer’s registry. You can either simply disable it surface level through settings or excise it entirely from the system registry
reblogging again as a cautionary tale to please PLEASE fucking make a system restore point before you do anything. i consider myself tech savvy and still nearly bricked my computer. and make sure you know how to access safe mode
