I Feel Like Pirating Media That Isn’t Sold Or Offered Anywhere Legally Anymore Shouldn’t Be Called

I won't always act like it, but yeah.

Okay seriously. Reblog if you're OLDER than 11.

Yep.

I’m curious about all my gaming followers: first Pokémon game, first Zelda game, and first Mario game in the tags?

Petition: Legally enshrine the right of adults to physically transition using NHS services

Introduce a law to legally protect the right of those aged 18 and over to transition using NHS services. This should specifically cover phys

Uk peeps!! Let’s get this going! 🏳️‍⚧️🇬🇧

okay I am begging people to understand that it is not "planned obsolescence" or "corporate greed" for manufacturers to stop selling things because genuinely better technologies become available. I just had someone arguing with me that they should be able to buy a new nickel-cadmium battery for their 25-year-old cordless vacuum. NiCd batteries were outlawed a decade ago for very good reasons. if you really want to have the same effect as using one you can just go out and shoot 10 people with Bullets That Give You Cancer and then rip out your own kidney

Maybe this will help? Nothing else has so far.

Hello!

I'm here, I'm queer, and I have no idea what I am doing.

Hell, if the bots get better at handling it, you can just do it MORE! Layers of human-parsable obscurity that force bots to waste ever more time to do literally anything useful with this data! Use ã and é instead of a and e, use | instead of l or I, × instead of x...

Be ungovernable.

Ruin ai datasets.

Write yo shit.

You know how spammers use similar characters to replace actual letters to get by filters? Doing that to your writing would give a slightly bizarre visual and utterly annihilate any basic scraping tools, because visual interpretation of characters is wildly more time and resource intensive than plaintext ripping.

It might help or severely hinder dyslexic people, though.

Also some browsers/OS might have trouble loading them?

None of that will at all register correctly to a scraper. It's in Unicode, so it'll work wherever.

Boldtext.io is the one I used, but there's plenty of ways to do it. You could even do multiple at once and make undoing it basically impossible, but still have it be readable to humans (auto readers or whatever for the visually impaired, not so much...)

Just gotta pick the style you like that's as clear as possible while also being literal gibberish to any quick digital scan method.

That second one is almost plain, and none of those characters should be used that way. It just produces gibberish where it can figure out what a particular character is technically displaying.

Some ai might be able to handle this. It will still be an extra layer of defense.

I'll take reduced reading speed for total digital obscurity and I'll be happy.

Woo, fried my motherboard!

My sis and I were upgrading my PC, and had to do a BIOS update for the newer processor to be compatible.

Then we managed to shock the motherboard mid-install and crash it.

Motherboard dead.

Now I gotta order a newer one, and fight to reinstall windows 10.
