this post is a reminder that Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) is the enemy, not digital-only content we can scrape and back up CDNs and decryption keys! we can fight the restrictions imposed upon us, and this is by no means a battle we are losing. not giving up to doomerism that easily bucko

hey so this is blatant false information punishing people for doing the right thing. no, it was not a "grabber". it was a reputable survey site that discord has used previously for limited surveys. nothing can """grab""" information if you dont provide it, which an anonymous survey didnt ask for.

two discord messages that read: "if you recently filled out a survey about Discord potentially getting involved with Al, change your password. That was an account grabber link." and "Well, apparently that survey I put was was not a real official Discord survey, despite the fact that Discord has used the website for surveys in the past. People are apparently getting hacked. If you took the survey, change your password, posthaste."

Just going to note: This DomoAI / Discord partnership thing I see being spread out of nowhere seems to be BS. Banning a valid User ID will always produce a successful ban message whether or not someone is on a server, it doesn't mean they were actually there the whole time.

I know some folks around me may need this thread. Questauthority is another law and policy explainer, but much like myself (despite my apparent ascension to IT god) he is also human and needs to deal with stress and worry. Here is some strategies he used when his wife was deployed in combat zones.

OK, I'm going to take the like as a yes. So, to be clear, this thread hits on three things - dealing with worry, dealing with feeling helpless, and focusing on limited available paths to productively help. Maybe some of this stuff will work for you - all I can say for sure is that it has helped me.

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

If you’re telling people things are so bad that there’s no time to talk about their hobbies and interests and little joys, it turns out you DO have time for a hobby: being an insufferable douche.

Note to all my voice actor friends! If you have a website with your own domain (yourname . com or similar), you may be able to change your bluesky handle to match. Let me know if you want help with that.
