🌕 Choose your Lagomorph 🌕

While I'm waiting for the new tablet to arrive, I thought I'd share some sketchbook drawings I made recently.

I was in the mood to draw Allegra a few days ago, she's just so pretty <3

You also get a sneak peak at at my redesigned Daphne, lucky you ;) I saw drawings of these two together and I thought it was a fun idea so I had to make a contribution.

Hopefully I can get the spark hunters done soon, I think I'm getting close to finding designs for them that I'm happy with.

That's really it for now, maybe I'll post some more sketchbook pages, if you'd like, while I wait for my new tablet to arrive.

Love you guys <3 see you soon

(PLESE DO NOT EDIT OR REPOST TO OTHER SITES [re-blogging is fine tho])

Thousands of you called, good job!! Your voice matters! 🩷 Be happy with me today. This is a huge win!

STOP USING RENTRY!!!! STOP! USING! RENTRY

Don't support that zionist owned website

unless you support what the israel government is doing, (which, if you do, get off my blog) do not support Matt and Sarah, the owners of rentry

theres already a post about this on tumblr but since ive been seeing rentries around lately, i felt like this was still needed, along with the fact i have a bit more information about it

they get profit from the ads, and dont give me the excuse like "im using an adblocker!!!!" if you leave the link publicly on your blog or profile or whatever people who dont know about rentry will click it anyways and give them money

please use alternatives such as carrd, strawpage, text.is, shrubs.cc, txto, and more if you go look

some screenshots i have decided to take out later on after reviewing this post due to privacy, so i apologize for that

matts bullshit

sarahs fuckery (also she works alongside matt which means shes compliant with his actions)

she approved of these urls for negev, a known zionist in the rentry community, and approved of the urls /netanyahu /GreaterIsrael

theyve also leave proudly zionist rentries up (refer to 1st img), yet for some reason took down a resource rentry??? (second img)

matt also demoted a propalestine admin shortly after the admin spoke out against him (i wont share screenshots of this due to privacy) which is a bad look

hes AWARE of the complaints yet he chooses to ignore it. HE CHOOSES to be ignorant. people have TRIED to talk to him

matt has outwardly welcomed zionism, yet never has never said a single word about supporting palestine. he has called supporting palestine "pro-war".

stop using rentry

markup of KOSA is happening this wednesday.

if you live in the united states, i ask of you to call your state representatives.

Stuff like this always makes me remember how sensationalized the ​“hide your kids, hide your wife” video was, also known as the “bedroom intruder meme” 🗿.

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.

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.

Here's the complaint filed to the court, the primary source for the case mentioned in the article. You can find mentions of GDID on page 30 of the document or 34 of the PDF.

I also made a PDF version!!
