never related to authors being like "childhood is such a blessed innocent time", catch me with that jane eyre shit like "such dread as children only can feel" and "I then sat with my doll on my knee til the fire got low, glancing round occasionally to make sure nothing worse than myself haunted the shadowy room"

it's very disheartening to see people posting men they like from whatever stories they're into and being like he's like a woman to me BUT theyre not headcanoning this character as a trans woman theyre saying this character is similar to a woman in that he is bad at stuff maybe or isn't really where he wants to be in life but not in a gender sense like specifically in the sense of being pathetic and bad at things. like maybe he's in between jobs right now or maybe one time he cried. and this is womanesque behavior for a man to exhibit. and the people who say this? pronouns. sometimes even several. it really does boggle the mind.

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.

Okay I know accessibility devices are never one-size-fits-all and that there’s a use case for these somewhere, but I can’t stop imagining trying to talk to someone at a party and they look at you and move the level down a few ticks

a normal day in the wright anything agency

[ID: A 4-page comic featuring Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, Athena Cykes and Trucy Wright from Ace Attorney. They’re in their usual outfits, save for Phoenix, who’s discarded the blazer, and Athena, who is in suspender pants instead.

1. There are 2 panels.

Panel 1 Phoenix leans against his office chair, expression tight.

Phoenix: Aaaah - I’m beat!

Panel 2 He gets out of the chair, beating his own back.

Phoenix: gonna stretch for a bit…

2. 4 sequential stick figure doodles of Phoenix, with spiky hair and blue-filled, stretching, as his back aggressively pops with each doodle.

3. There are 2 panels.

Panel 1 In the foreground, Phoenix continues to stretch and groan, and his back continues to aggressively pop. Apollo and Athena watch from the other end of the office with frightened expressions.

Panel 2 Apollo and Athena look at each other, eyes bugging out, mildly fearful. Phoenix’s back pops on.

4. There are 2 parts.

Part 1 Trucy is happily saying, “Oh, Daddy’s back has been doing that since for-ever! He’s like a personal bubble wrap!” Beside her is a stick figure depiction of Trucy jumping on Phoenix’s back, with Trucy filled in a lighter shade of blue than Phoenix.

Phoenix: thanks sweetie Trucy: no problemo, Daddy-o! Phoenix’s back: pop crack

Part 2 Apollo and Athena are sweating, thinking ‘BUBBLE WRAP…’. On them is a translucent stock image of a bubble wrapper.

End ID.]
