21/F (she/her) Chronic commenter and resident visual artist. Nice to meet y’all


Internet privacy and ad retargeting is a rabbit hole that the more I go down, the more I wish we never get let Big Tech normalize their methods.
I’ll never get over this because how do you bankrupt a literal money printer.


I really like WAFRN (https://wafrn.net/) which is a Tumblr-inspired platform. I’ve never been able to get into the more micro-blogging style that Tumblr is known for, but for some reason, I find myself very engaged with WAFRN.


I can’t wait to see Quanxi and her girlfriends animated!


I forgot about this clip but it’s so unintentionally funny, thanks OP.
Hopefully none of that “subscribe to see more matches” bs
Oh, and one of the generic message prompts is “What Linux distro do you use?”


I started my privacy journey last year. My gf at the time, was really into privacy and told me all about data collection and selling. I bushed it off, justifying it as the cost of a using a free platform, until I noticed that topics from our Discord convos would appear on my YouTube recommendations (or I Googled something similar, still creepy none the less). It was so oddly specific that I freaked me out and I almost immediately changed my search engine, browser, email, etc.


I love Orion! It’s a little clunky but I love being able to use the full UBlock Origin.


If it comes with the prices I find nostalgic I’m not complaining.

I genuinely believe that all the design and music choices that caused major online outrage for that one Sonic movie that came out during COVID was all faked for press.
You mean to tell me that they redesigned and reanimated the entire movie and added multiple new scenes to the movie in six months during peak COVID?
OG trailer if you don’t know what movie I’m talking about: https://youtu.be/4mW9FE5ILJs
Here’s a clips from the when the “improved” version was released: https://youtu.be/6cIhrkE2txA


^ Not to mention that considering how privacy conscious the OOP was there’s a good chance they had some way to limit IP tracking. When I verify log-ins for 2FA the approximate location shown in emails is rarely in my city much less close enough to pin any business near my home.
Edit: I skipped over the part where they had proxies active. Which leads me to my next question: If they had proxies active wouldnt they cover their tracks if the VPN fails?


So much great shows are being renewed in 2026 I can’t wait!


I’m still in awe at how much of this bs I managed to tolerate since I installed U-block over a year ago.


I like to share a lot of links (mostly from Youtube) with my friends.
Broke: Falling for ragebait and getting into arguments online
Woke: Assuming everyone with strong opinions on something you disagree with is a bot /j
Wafrn mention‼️


Mine has bloomed already and I’ve never been so confused. It’s bloomed early before but never around (Canadian) Thanksgiving, I should adjust my thermostat lol.
:0 Which ones?
I’m in shock that I found such a hidden gem at a convenience store of all places I hope they keep on restocking it.
