Long overdue update to my ref sheet
A reference sheet of my fursona, Swishy – an earthly-coloured hybrid of a red marble fox and a hyena with blue fur on tips of his ears, blue eyes, and a hyena-like mane.

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

Meta’s internal memo said the political tumult in the United States was good timing for the feature’s release. “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” according to the document from Meta’s Reality Labs, which works on hardware including smart glasses.

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

Age verification is spreading like cancer.

First they came for adults site and social media; now they are already discussing about putting VPNs and app stores behind #AgeVerfication 🇬🇧🇦🇺

What’s sold as “online safety” means #surveillance via IDs checks or face scans.

I cheesed him
A portrait sketch of a fox guy. He has a somewhat smug expression. Portrait sketch of the same fox – this time with a big ol' slice of cheese slapped on his face. He has an expression of slight panic (with the cheese blocking it): wide eyes, raised brow, and three lines readable as stress/sweat.

Yes!
Photo of a line drawing of a furry character drawn in Adobe Photoshop CS2 running on an Apple eMac. Also strewn about: an assortment of 90's–2000's technology; (a Sony Walkman, cassette tape, iPod mini, MIDI keyboard, iSight webcam), and a Wacom Bamboo tablet.

Real talk! I am so, so, sick and tired of this “online safety” shit – everywhere, around the world. We’re adults. I cannot emphasise it enough. I want the government to treat us, grown adults, as capable of making their own choices, not play chaperone in our adult lives. Get off my damn lawn!!!!!!

Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

Committee hearings begin tomorrow.
Lawmakers to consider 19 bills for childproofing the internet
KOSA is back, along with more than a dozen other bills that will erode free speech and privacy in the name of protecting kids.

I don't want "smart" appliances, I want appliances that work and are not prohibitively expensive to repair when they break.

Also give me a back my damn audio jack!!!

‼ Fight Chat Control - protect EU digital privacy! ‼

The EU may soon mandate scanning private messages and photos, possibly by October.

PLEASE, contact your MEPs now - the site has their details (for all EU countries!) and even a message generator to make it easy!

https://fightchatcontrol.eu/
Screenshot of https://fightchatcontrol.eu/ The EU (still) wants to scan your private messages and photos The "Chat Control" proposal would mandate scanning of all private digital communications, including encrypted messages and photos. This threatens fundamental privacy rights and digital security for all EU citizens. Currently: 3 member states opposing, 15 member states, 9 member states undecided You Will Be Impacted Every photo, every message, every file you send will be automatically scanned—without your consent or suspicion. This is not about catching criminals. It is mass surveillance imposed on all 450 million citizens of the European Union. Mass Surveillance - Every private message, photo, and file scanned automatically: no suspicion required, no exceptions*, even encrypted communications. Breaking Encryption - Weakening or breaking end-to-end encryption exposes everyone's communications—including sensitive financial, medical, and private data—to hackers, criminals, and hostile actors. Fundamental Rights - Undermines your fundamental rights to privacy and data protection, as guaranteed by Articles 7 and 8 of the EU Charter—rights considered core to European democratic values. False Positives - Automated scanners routinely misidentify innocent content, such as vacation photos or private jokes, as illegal, putting ordinary people at risk of false accusations and damaging investigations. Ineffective Child Protection - Child protection experts and organisations, including the UN, warn that mass surveillance fails to prevent abuse and actually makes children less safe—by weakening security for everyone and diverting resources from proven protective measures. Global Precedent - Creates a dangerous global precedent enabling authoritarian governments, citing EU policy, to roll out intrusive surveillance at home, undermining privacy and free expression worldwide.
