Exciting space-discovery alert!

Gliese 12 b is an Earth-size planet orbiting in the temperate zone around a nearby, stable red dwarf star. It's a Rosetta Stone world that will tell us a lot about how many superficially earthlike planets actually have the right conditions for life.

Are we rare? Are we common? Let's find out.

caroline, 3 days ago to TransJoy

On the way to a meetup with wonderful trans women yesterday, my mom called with a #TransJoy story that I had to share.

Her good friend’s daughter B. has a 4-year-old. On the way to school last week B. noticed they were looking extremely sad, asked what was wrong, and her kid said “I just wish I had a magic wand that could make me a girl.”
Right away, B. simply answered “You don’t need a magic wand. If you want to be a girl, you can just be a girl.”
She told the teachers when they arrived, everyone was immediately supportive, and now B’s daughter is out as a girl and filled with joy that she can be herself. Quick as that, no ridicule, no gatekeeping, no hesitation.

You can just be a girl. :QueerCatHeart_Trans:

Heads up to anyone using facebook or insta: you'll receive a notification about your data being used to train AIs. The opt out process is deliberately convoluted and you have to fill out a form to object. This is what I wrote in mine, and the objection was immediately registered as successful, so feel free to copy.

Masto reply bores, this is not a post on which to fart out your opinions about Meta or AI or whatever. So don't. I'm sharing helpful info for people who need it, not for you.

Microsoft recall is fucking insane.

Recall snapshots are kept on Copilot+ PCs themselves, on the local hard disk, and are protected using data encryption on your device and (if you have Windows 11 Pro or an enterprise Windows 11 SKU) BitLocker.

Your doing what? Microsoft wh-

Recall uses Copilot+ PC advanced processing capabilities to take images of your active screen every few seconds. [...]

[...] The default allocation for Recall on a device with 256 GB will be 25 GB, which can store approximately 3 months of snapshots. [...]

WHAT WHY NO ST-

Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers. That data may be in snapshots that are stored on your device, especially when sites do not follow standard internet protocols like cloaking password entry.

Microsoft please... th-the tech support scams... think about what happens if this gets bre-

Recall also does not take snapshots of certain kinds of content, including InPrivate web browsing sessions...

Oh, okay I guess that's san-

...in Microsoft Edge.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It treats material protected with digital rights management (DRM) similarly; like other Windows apps such as the Snipping Tool, Recall will not store DRM content.

Ah, but of course. The DRM is protected...

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

"Sperm counts in men have been falling for decades, with chemical pollution such as pesticides implicated by many studies. Microplastics have also recently been discovered in human blood, placentas and breast milk, indicating widespread contamination of people’s bodies. The impact on health is as yet unknown but microplastics have been shown to cause damage to human cells in the laboratory.”

Three years from now, when vendors are ripping their hugely expensive and utterly failed AI bullshit out of their products, their Product Owners will be laughing and shaking their heads and saying “what WERE they thinking?” And then rushing to implement the next digital panic to dogshit their products because they can’t let their competitors get a lead on the brand new dogshit.

I heard the good news about the upcoming Thousand Year Door remake, and decided to stop drawing my regularly scheduled trans girls to draw some different trans girls for a while. Congrats on finally getting to be yourself, Vivian! ^_^

Now back to drawing MY trans girls. XD

Really straightforward instructions to continue using Google Search, but have it be AI (and ad) free. Kind of impressive it works so easily.

it's time to rob a dragon
it's time for elven sights
it's time for giant spiders
on the hobbit show tonight

it's time for bilbo's birthday
it's time for barrow wights
it's time to fight the nazgûl
on the hobbit show tonight

to walk right into mordor
is what we're gonna do
we'll take the one ring with us
and toss it in mount doom

it's time to flee a balrog
it's time for gollum bites
It's time to brave the mirkwood
on the most sensational
celebrational
intoxicational
tater-sational
this is what we call the hobbit show
