@PurpCat Meanwhile, the other devs of the infinity board had to live with his grievances against that imageboard website he made. Most of the 8 boards are alive in the end, though.

@Morghur I mean his entire life he was choosing which group to be apart of for whoever he thought would give him clout this month and this is how he'll be known
As a turncoat who fucked over 8chan, wizardchan, and others.

It's like when lowtax died when the users of his site just shit on him for how he ran it.

This is how he will be remembered for all eternity btw: as a backstabber who fucked over the free internet so he could get journalist and furry clout with those who also fucked over the free internet under the premise of never having to see mean words again (which also didn't happen)

This is what you get when you sell your former userbase out for some furry journalist clout

Tonight's painting is based on the Seahorse Nebula (NGC 2074). I've also painted this one before, but I think this is the best version of it (so far!) :blobcatheart:

When your password leaks:
→ Change your password
→ Problem solved

When your biometric data leaks:
→ You can't change your face
→ You can't change your fingerprints
→ The compromise is permanent
→ Your biometric data is in breach databases forever

This is why facial recognition for age verification is dangerous.

In a time where people are desperate for meaningful change, I think encouraging the small steps is valuable.

HAPPY FRIDEY

This is the most obvious statement of this millennium but apparently it needs to be repeated for the people in the back:

The government does not give a fuck about you. None of them do. We built a system specifically to not trust the government.

The problem with that system is that we keep allowing said government to find loopholes within it that allow it to make whatever tyrannical rules it fucking wants without repercussions or revolt.

When it doesn't work (EARN IT Act), they just keep trying again (ID verification) and each plot will be attempted for years at a time. The feds are playing a war of attrition and are betting on you being forgetful. The communications decency act, the patriot act, TSA, and everything since then. That time they let Microsoft off the hook because their monopoly was too useful.

Nobody could have predicted 300 years ago that we would invent a system to instantaneously transmit vast amounts of information across tens of thousands of miles, and that it would become the backbone of political stability as it dictates everything people perceive to be real. We are more "aware" of our surroundings than ever,and yet simultaneously the least involved in their evolution than we've ever been.

The ID verification laws. We all knew, but now it's been confirmed: the US and Canadian governments are tying your device fingerprints to your financial and social security records to build a unified profile of your identity online on every major website that has that matching information. They are scanning you against a list of politically relevant people for undisclosed purposes.

This is not something Americans do. This is not what we stand for. Self host your online infrastructure. Encrypt and obfuscate fucking everything. This is the last chance you might ever get.

In the highly unlikely event I strike one too many nerves and alert the nearest glowie: I am mentally sane. I have no desire to kill myself and infact I have a very important purpose in life. I am not planning any surprise vacations. I do not take or distribute drugs, keep illicit material on my computer, or fail to pay my bills. I am a healthy, law abiding citizen, and in the event of my disappearance or death you should be very worried because they will probably come after you too.

I'm not anonymous. Real world violence and detainment is how they take your free speech away. Don't forget it.

A little change of pace... I have a few space paintings to show off
This one is based on the Horsehead Nebula (IC434)

i think i'm fine with never writing swift. smalltalk was neat, obj-c was neat, the guy's prior art on factor was wild, but swift just. carries no appeal really
