In light of the recent happenings at Twitter, I thought it would be good to update my 'social media' post here...and cross post it to Twitter. I'm also pinning it to the top of my Tumblr. Info under the cut.
Updated: 12 February 2025
Active services that I use:
bluesky: amiry.bsky.social (fully replacing Twitter with this)
signal: amiry.23
instagram/threads: amiryfenn (active on IG, but not on Threads)
tiktok: amiryfenn (I don't create much here, but i'm an active lurker/reposter.)
discord: amiry. (with the dot)
LINE: amiry23 (LINE is a secure messaging app with cute themes and stickers that I truly wish more people would use.)
dreamwidth: amiry (serves as my LJ archive since I deleted my LJ; recently started to utilize a little bit again)
nintendo switch: SW-0854-0105-3814
letterboxd: amiryfenn (somewhat new to this one)
storygraph: amiry
goodreads: amiry (cross posting from StoryGraph)
Services I am on, but not using:
cara: amiry (this social is by artists for artists and I joined because I’m perpetually convinced I’ll draw more, but also so I can follow artists I like; haven't checked it recently.)
hive: amiry (cute, very user friendly, haven’t checked in a while; inactive.)
mastodon: @[email protected] (joined in 2018, but largely inactive here as I don't find it user friendly at all.)
snapchat: amiryfenn (I don't use this at all these days, but my niece does, so as the kids say, amos. but don't expect much!)
twitter: amiryfenn (account now locked; deleted app from my phone on 8 November 2024 and I will only check it from the browser on my laptop or from my iPad from here on.)
Finally, yes, I am on Facebook, but I don't have FB or FB Messenger installed on my phone unless I’m at a convention, so I only check it from the browser on my laptop or iPad. I don't consider it a primary social for me, but if you want to add me there, DM me. Just...don't expect much!
wordpress blog: fourth-moon.org (mostly old Star Wars musings, but thinking about using it for more stuff.)

i stopped giving a shit about "legit" purchases of digital products after i spent $80 on the entire Dark Horse collection of Trigun/Trigun Maximum ebook mangas, learning that I only got access to reading them through a proprietary website ereader function, couldn't download them, and couldn't get a refund, and then literally only a year later, getting an e-mail stating that Dark Horse was shutting down that part of their company and I wouldn't even be able to read them anymore. Fuck that
Pirate shit. Don't feel bad for it. It's not "your fault" that artists, independent or otherwise, can't make a living. You downloading an album or ebook for free isn't the cause of the problem. The cause is capitalism, plain and simple, and pirating is a lucky loophole that will companies are still trying to stomp out.

"This week I discovered the same pattern, executed by Google. Google Chrome is reaching into users' machines and writing a 4 GB on-device AI model file to disk without asking."
Google Chrome is downloading a 4 GB Gemini Nano model onto users' machines without consent, with no opt-in, no opt-out short of enterprise t
pretty sure I did the chrome//flags thing a while ago, but also i switched to firefox, which is not without the occasional bullshit, but is vastly less bullshitty than chrome.
This is why I treat genai "features" like the invasive blackberry bushes they are: cut, root, burn, and vigilantly watch for new shoots to uproot. I'm 54 years old and the world got by fine without genai for most of my lifetime.
when i was a kid i decided that killing people was bad therefore war was bad therefore the military was evil. and adults would tell me it's more nuanced than that and i would understand when i grew up. well i'm a grown up now and idk i still think that killing people is bad and war is bad and the military is evil
As the fog returns this evening, it presents unique and compelling photographic opportunities. This image captures the 1877 Tall Ship Elissa re-entering Galveston Harbor. This is just another stunning view from the Galveston Ferry. 12/23/25 TXDot
