Hey. If people aren't aware, Microsoft admitted they know who you and where you are at all times and will give your info to the police.
They have a Global Device Identifier (GDID) Tracker that functions as a fingerprint for your PC that can surpass VPNs, proxy servers and countries. Although it can't survive a clean reinstall of Windows (it can survive updates), because Microsoft forces you to go to the internet and log in into a Microsoft account, they will be able to get to you.
Microsoft kept it secret and it was only found out when the FBI tracked a hacker thanks to the information Microsoft gave them.
You should be paying attention to this, and possibly consider moving away from Windows. If a government, especially the US government, doesn't like you for some reason, this could be seriously concerning.
This article specifically notes:
For journalism, activism, or domestic abuse situations, skip Windows and use Linux routed through Tor instead of a commercial VPN. A GDID doesn’t care which VPN you use, only that it’s still the same Windows installation.
GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.
Other important quotes:
What has researchers uneasy is everything else the case reveals. Costin Raiu, a well-known malware researcher, asked on the Three Buddy Problem podcast how much of this exists on other platforms, and whether it is linked more permanently to hardware. Matthew Hickey, another security researcher, called Windows “surveillance software”.
Two things back that up:
There’s no consent screen. A GDID gets assigned when you sign into a Microsoft Account. Apple’s advertising identifier needs an App Tracking Transparency prompt and a visible reset; Android’s works the same way. GDID has neither, and a Windows reinstall only gets you a new number Microsoft can still get back to the same account.
Then there’s activation. Massgrave, the group behind Microsoft Activation Scripts, notes that Windows setup sends hardware info to Microsoft and gets identifiers back, the same tokens later used for Store access and licensing: “It’s impossible to prevent Windows from getting a GDID without breaking activation and UWP app[s].” Anyone who lost a license after swapping a motherboard has already met a smaller version of this.
I keep seeing people saying they will "eventually switch to Linux if things get worse".
So? Why am I hearing crickets?
It seriously cannot get worse than this. Microsoft straight up openly admitted that Windows is spyware by definition. They know who you are, they know where you are, they know what you are doing on your computer at all times. VPNs don't help, they can still see and save everything. You cannot turn it off. It is full on surveillance and it has been going on for months without you knowing because there was no consent screen ever.
What ELSE are people waiting for? Even websites focused entirely on windows are telling you to use Linux, essentially accepting the fact that they will lose readers if people follow their advice, because they cannot in good conscience recommend using this OS anymore. This cannot realistically get any worse. I can already see myself eating my words bc Microsoft will find a way to make things even worse but you get what I mean.
This a question that goes far beyond the realm of personal computers, and reaches even the deepest of ideologies we hold dear in our hearts.
I recently had a political conversation with a friend: we were talking about political views, and they were surprised to learned I harbored a deep fear over the rise of fascism in my country, because "you aren't part of the demographic the far-right would be coming after at first" - and I was honestly left for words because there is so much to unpack in that sentence.
This is the same issue. Of course, laziness is a thing, and so is tech. illiteracy. And sure, it's not like Linux is perfect (especially recently). But it's def. also that people won't switch because they don't feel particularly targeted by these types of issues.
Mass surveillance is only ever a problem (in the immediate future) to people of marginalized groups, the ones that already struggle to be accepted in society, and generally don't get to make the indirect decisions that end up making these systems possible (such as, adopting all-American technologies on a society-wide scale as the default, never questioning the fact, even now).
"It is what it is" and every other excuse that can help remove the blame on an individual basis. Heck, you can't even point fingers at this very issue or you'll be too "judgmental" - how are we supposed to fix a problem when people refuse to see it in themselves, so they can then realize it's not just at an individual level, and fight back together in an organized manner? (and I use "fight" in a very broad meaning, refusing to engage with Windows in situations were you have control, is also a form of fight; it's not about beheading oligarchs - although, that too!)
So "What ELSE are people waiting for?" - they are waiting for the next person to make the move (it becoming the new default), so it's easier for them. It's like when people wait out playing a game after it got updated because they know a patch or two will soon follow to fix those initial (most drastic) bugs. Only here no one's particularly enticed to be part of that first group of players. With the result being that no one moves, so we all just watch as the fates of others get decided for them, until our own turn comes.
i HATE to ask for any help from anybody, but i'm at a complete loss on how to fix this area circled in red. i deleted the rose and the hanging bit off this dress, but obviously don't want that square cutout there, but i can't seem to find a way to fix it that doesn't end up looking much worse. i don't know much about blender or meshing, sooo... any suggestions? pls and thank you!
@asimtypical Reblogging so it's easier to show. :)
A quick reference so the placement of where each face is placed in the mesh vs. the uv map is, with colors. You can see that the split of the skirt's start is inverted vertically.
To make this work, imo you can do it in one of two ways:
OPTION 1: You take the yellow face, join it with the green one, which means rotating it 180° and then flipping it on the X-axis (and rescale). Blender's UV editor has a neat feature called "Stitch".
To use this feature, select the yellow face and press Y, this will detach it from the rest of the mapping. Then move it somewhere empty. Then, select the connecting edge between the yellow and green face, and go: UV > Stitch (it should stitch the yellow face by default, if not, use the contextual window (bottom-left corner) and change the "Static Island" option.
Then, you need to move the group of faces I circled towards the top, until the yellow face is inside the texture space.
OPTION 2: Same principle but with the green face instead. No need for moving a group of faces in this one though.
In both cases, you'll probably need to smooth out the edges on the mesh afterwards, so the split skirt thingy looks a bit more rounded. :)

did you see the "reviewed" version of the codex LC just posted? my gut reaction is essentially to remain entirely unconvinced and just ignore anything LC releases going forward, since in my mind i basically can't trust that ai won't be involved just because he says so... but it also... seems like steps in the right direction, and maybe i'm just still too raw from the initial drama to be anything besides irked, off-put and unconvinced. idk.
I saw.
I think you are right in remaining skeptical going forward. This is another aspect of the usage of AI that those who use it do not get: it creates a precedent, and now people (who rather prefer not to engage with it, regardless of the ethics behind it) will forever wonder if that new thing you put out had any degree of AI involved in it, and if so how much, etc… it's not about ethics: people genuinely like to see creatives post about stuff they made, and many have expressed how realizing something is AI just completely negates any sense of admiration they felt in that moment. And I get it: If it's not done by you, then what use does it have being on your page? Might as well give AI self-prompting capabilities, and let it iterate until it fills every niche - it could do it.
As for my personal opinion: I am disappointed, yet not surprised.
Again, what people like LC don't get -or better yet, they pretend not to- is that the issue was never about the quality of the thing that got generated. They rather convince themselves that "There is no ethical consumption under capitalism" - like that somehow negates any responsibility they share in the equation.
In some ways, it's not even that LC used AI that was the issue: it's that they did it, and THEN played the victim by disclaiming right out the gate that if people had any issue with it, they could fuck off (not how they said it, but def. what they said still - again, it's possible to be politely impolite, people can fight me over this if they want). The fact they didn't even acknowledge the elephant in the room, and instead doubled-down and re-released their glorified spreadsheet, is enough proof for me that he cannot be trusted going further.
BUT, anyone is free to disagree, or find me too "judgmental", or put up some nonsensical argument over how "AI is owned by oligarchs" (as if that was somehow helping their argument), or any excuse really - I think it only helps to increase the depth between the two stances on this, which really only boil down to: use it and be evil, or don't use it and be good. 🤷 Many things in life aren't that simple, this is.
So I know there is a debate about the use of AI in the community that I won’t get into but saw that one of its supposed uses was for defaults.
I just wanted to put out there that if anyone has questions, needs troubleshooting, to be walked through the process, or me to look at their files to see if I can spot an issue, I’m really happy to do so. I’m literally happy to help as much as can either over tumblr’s messenger thing of discord if you have it. Just want to be helpful x
Please, I beg, I know it's hard to reach out, trust me I used to be super shy and constantly checking myself over the smallest thing (I still do it, it never really goes away).
BUT, if you need help, however insignificant you think the issue might be, or just want someone to vent your frustration over some stupid problem: feel free to reach out. I don't always respond the quickest, but I always respond. AND, never assume helping others (you) is a waste of time. I cannot tell you how many things I have learned from helping others. I love figuring stuff out! Sometimes, I might fail at doing so, even.
Human connection is the only true constant in these uncertain times. I know it's a struggle, but it's worth it! AI is the anti-thesis to all that.

Gavin remembered that Tina liked to feel the wind on her skin, so he took her up the cliffs by the lighthouse.
And there somehow everything fell into place. There were the sky and the ocean and that endless vastness... Wind moved water, creating waves and foam. Water condensed upwards, only to come down again as rain, a self-contained system in which the islands, even those that called themselves continents, were insignifcant.
Generations of seafaring Chens whispered "This is where you belong" into Tina's mind.
there are places in the world today that are experiencing 40°C for the first time in recorded history. of course there's no way to know whether chucking billionaires into volcanos will appease the sun god but i feel we're doing the scientific method a disservice if we don't at least try

i'm afraid we are way past the "ignorant" part though, especially in the case of lordcrumps, and the way he seemingly said "don't care" so easily. well, i do care, and if your going to come here being so easily unbothered, then by all means, take the door.
some people want me to be so cute and friendly, because it's not good to be bad you see, i should be advocating in a way that isn't hostile. nope, not doing that. not when someone is acting so visibly unbothered.
Il y a trois sortes de violences.
(...)
Il n’y a pas de pire hypocrisie que de n’appeler violence que la seconde, en feignant d’oublier la première, qui la fait naître, et la troisième qui la tue.
That's from Dom Helder Camara, I feel like more people need to understand that hostility isn't just calling others by some slur. The fact some can't, is how we got here in the first place.
my country is currently going through the biggest heatwave, never before recorded (we litterally reached two new records yesterday, and today), and this bitch (@lordcrumps) (oh yeah, i am calling out and using slurs now, i'm dead serious) is telling me, in a very nonchalant way, to shut up about him using a tool that is not only making it worse -even if indirectly- but that is also feeding the same power structures responsible for said tool, some of which being that same old, same old company we collectively hate.
fuck your spreadsheet actually 🖕
and fuck all the people who liked and reblogged, please unfollow and block me, 'kay? thx, bye!
or perhaps, idk, don't use it? idk i feel like that's a good way to not feel like you are being canceled.
