Too chaotic for a paladin

Amateur artist and junior IT administrator. Mostly self-trained in chaotic and often destructive ways. Opponent of mainstream social media and nasty digital surveillance, wanna-be cypherpunk. Linux user since 2013. Fully degoogled since December 2019. Fully BigTech-free since March 2024.
Synesthete. That weird freak who sometimes uses Daedric alphabet. Even weirder freak who use bare IP address instead of some server name.
Cryptography is my only religion - does Church of Wael look for new members?
In my free time I draw or write stories, first of all for my fun.

Anyone else still draw with a traditional tablet without a built-in screen?

@madargon@is-a.cat avatar

@RaethDragon Do you mean drawing tablet, like Wacom?

madargon,
@madargon@is-a.cat avatar

@RaethDragon So I have Wacom One, bought in 2017, rather for experiments, I didn't draw digitally then.
And wait... Most people use tablets with screens currently?!? :blobcatsurprised:

Huh, is she making nest near the pond? Does she want to lay eggs? Is she damned ?

The same cat lying on a grass, but from other angle and with head up. Now nearby pond is visible in left corner of picture.

at this point in time I'll ignore any game that is more than 30 or maybe 40 GB

how many 8k textures and 1 trillion polygon models do you need to cram in to make your game look good

@sirlan Crying on only mobile internet every time when downloading bigger updates on Steam

Seriously, I have huge month limit but big games are currently one thing which could exhaust it completely sometimes.

Holy shit, I thought I knew how evil the industry was but here we are:

@dalias @Ulrich_the_Elder @ilumium I use both UBO and cookie-autodelete, and even this Firefox "don't keep history" settings for more than 4 years now. And effectively I avoid log into anything except maybe three sites I use regularly. (I also use 2FA in most services so process would be even more annoying.) Maybe it is also the reason I so rarely check my non-main mail accounts...

For #InternationalAsexualityDay please, have this nice #Ace #axolotl with pride flag colours - I am not sure why they are #asexuality mascots, but saw lots of them last several years on forums and sites.
I hope fellow Aces here would like it :heart_ace:โ€‹

    BeAware, to threads
    @BeAware@social.beaware.live avatar

    Corporate social media sites are so dumb...Threads has a link section in the bio, where I naturally link to my Fedi profile. But, of course Meta tries to add a tracking tag to the url, which I assume tries to link up with user agents and cookies from sites.

    Fedi doesn't have that, so clicking the link on my Threads page fails....๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

    Funny, cause their tactics didn't work and maddening at the same time.

    madargon,
    @madargon@is-a.cat avatar

    @BeAware Before I deleted LinkedIn (but when I already fully degoogled) I tried their contacts import feature and was so amused when it nicely crashed on Protonmail address (I didn't have significant contacts on list then so I could safely test it without exposing innocent people to MS).

    Is there any for "all current evil tech companies", more up-to-date than for talking about them as a whole phenomenon?

    Different angle and more close zoom to cat's head and front paws. Cat's bright pink nose is in central part. Toe beans even more visible.
