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.
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.
You can get and use windows 11 without logging in with a microsoft account, as of five days ago. I am a local user on my computer. Don't ask me how to do it, because my computer repair guy did it when he reinstalled windows, but there are tutorials out there. Refuse to connect to internet until you're set up and can use the computer freely.
Refusing to connect to the internet doesn't help. You have to open a Command Prompt (Shift+F10) and typing start ms-cxh:localonly (and pressing enter) during installation when you get to the sign in/create stupid ms account screen
For comprehensive deets, tomshardware explains
Maintain only a local account on your Windows 11 PC.
Unless there's really really specific reasons to subject yourself to windows, please consider installing linux mint instead.
my theory is that tserriednich will murder shizuku in like chapter 407 but not because she is spider but because she says "who are you? prince? kakin? never heard of that place :o" straight to his face which deeply hurts his pathetic fragile ego and when he sees the tattoo on her stomach he is like oh shit i saw her corpse on reddit
Kind of funny how my #🌷 tag was originally a tag for posts about child ‘education’, how to interact with children, parenting tips, wholesome children videos and such (the flower representing a child blossoming in a good environment) and now it’s basically turned into youth lib and family abolition

This has probably been talked about at length before, but Togashi's use of furigana, which shows the reading of kanji, is so fascinating. Its general use is for phonetic reading, but authors sometimes utilize it to have the kanji mean one thing while the reading is a different word. The current arc alone has a lot.
The reading for 婚前契約 (prenup) is "engagement ring".
Hisoka in chapter 405 has some very... unique uses of it.
普通 means normal, but the reading is not "futsuu" which is the phonetic reading, it's the English "normal". Boku wa normal ◆. It has extra flavor to it.
Then there's 異種間戦闘 (interspecies battle) read as "beαstiαlity", 集団戦闘 (group battle) read as "orgίes".
壊し合いたい (destroy each other), with 壊 (destroy) being read as 愛 (love), making it a double meaning of "love each other".
And then 一人喜悦リ (self joy) is read as "mαsturbαtion".
This is also relevant in the most recent chapter, 412.
In chapter 368, there was the kanji 息子 (son) that Oito used with the reading being "Woble", despite Woble having previously been established as her daughter. Looks like that was important!
The Princes are always denoted by kanji for their ranking while the reading is their name.
Right now the campaign for HxH surpassing 100 million copies in sales is using one of Netero's famous lines with a tweak.
読者 means "reader", but the reading is お前 (you). "I'm grateful for everything that has led me to meet you (my readers)."
The fascinating part about it is that you can't really accurately convey these in translations most of the time. It's a very unique thing to Japanese and would come off clunky trying to explain it in English with a fluid translation. But it's an interesting thing to discuss and point out.
Soseki calling his mom by her name Lisa is a very good and very deliberate choice. One that the English translators, led by sex pest John Lasseter of disney fame, removed from the dub. Instead he calls her "mom" in a politically correct attempt to not challenge the audience in even the most tiny and inoffensive ways. It was a very intentional removal too. Soseki no longer calls his dad Koichi. And if I recall, Ponyo also doesn't refer to her father as Fujimoto. The translators desecrate a work of art for the sake of their own politics and disdain for children's agency.
In these types of conversations, reactionaries would like you to believe that americans are injecting "wokeness" into eastern animation. In reality, they inject their own conservative and yank-centric values.
nasa is using a 3D world graphic for the solar eclipse thingy today where germany is still devided in east and west adjfglkafdhgadfg. buddies, it's been almost 40 years.
So I showed this to a physicist and they were like "Oh! Yes! It's a figure from Fred Espenak's very old paper where he did a bunch of eclipse graphics! I've been looking at these my entire internet life, basically, for every solar eclipse! They called him Mr. Eclipse. He just passed away recently 🥺"
Anyway apparently Mr. Eclipse made 5000 years' worth of solar eclipse graphics, which you can find the simpler versions of here
So now instead of laughing at NASA for their outdated graphics I'm emotional about Mr. Eclipse and his hard work
oh my god I just saw the cutest thing in the world. little Black girl with beads in her hair for the first day of school and the beads were pink then silver then a bunch of yellow then beige then grey to make them look like pencils 🥺🥺🥺 brb I will draw an artist’s rendition

I'm sure everything to be said has already been said about Pouf, but I find his character design fascinating.
He was given the most explosive emotions of the royal guards while simultaneously having the least variety of emotion. It's an extremely powerful subversion of expectation to have the character who seems to be the one most in touch with human emotion to actually be the one capable of the least. Pouf is emotional, but his range of emotion is very slim.
This runs in direct contrast to Youpi, who as a character was designed in a way meant to fool the audience into thinking he would be the least human. Youpi was created from magical beasts, he should be the most monstrous, as he is lacking the aspects that give the other ants their humanity (this is not true, I'm just saying what the audience is being led to believe). Youpi is also given a menacing appearance with a broad figure and little clothing, which immediately makes the viewer think that he is a brawler and not a strategist. On the other hand, Pouf is given a slim figure and nice clothes to give the idea that he is more of a thinker and not much for brutish displays. Additionally, Pouf is made to play the violin, making his character seem interested in the arts (which is a trait associated with individuals with greater connection to emotion).
I think the most interesting design element of Pouf was the decision to make his dominant "animal" trait a butterfly. Butterflies are normally meant to symbolize rebirth, evolution, growth, and change. Pouf even spends a decent period of time inside a chrysalis (or part of him at least). When looking at the royal guards, however, Pouf is actually the most stagnant of them. I think that's because there's an important distinction to make: Pouf is already a butterfly. Butterflies don't grow or molt, they remain the same for the rest of their lives. He is not a caterpillar that is undergoing metamorphasis, he is already his final form. Even the chrysalis I believe is used as a narrative tool to show this. He never "hatches" from it, he constructed it as an illusion to hide his true intentions. Morel broke it, which could be interpreted as his life getting cut short before he had the chance to emerge into something new, but there was nothing growing inside. He was not going to regardless.
