Most of the Winx fandom seeing the awful AI Generated designs of the reboot alongside the awful AI Generated filters over ugly 3D models. AI has literally done nothing good for the arts and AI bros are in denial because they have no taste or artistic standards anyway

It's getting so you can't even disconnect and go enjoy niche interests without finding that someone's using AI to just spray manure everywhere because now there's nothing in their way.

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

Header text: "HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!"

This is followed by a couple example urls, with a red square highlighting the sections with source identifiers. The rest of the text is as follows: 

Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity. 
 
When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers. 
 
Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

I used to teach at an art college. It depends on the student. Some know exactly what path they want & had great guidance on how to get there. Other students (this was me as well btw) don’t know what direction they want to go and pick a bunch of different focuses. #art
