Honestly, This Is Not The Actual Problem With The American People.

Little evening walk in the woods with Gingko!

October 4. A more simple drawing.

So...here is the fourth of my drawings for October 2024. Tomorrow I hope I make something more complex.

Happy New Year everybody!

You Have to Live

Using Al in history videos makes me want to chew glass. It's lousy enough to use it- but at least source it for what it is. Don't put real pictures about an event next to generated ones and not make any distinction at all. *actually, asking youtube creators to source anything they use is wishful thinking.

Every single person who's ever been associated with trek could tell me I'm wrong and I would still believe unwaveringly that this is Jonathan Archer's official Starfleet file photo

Honestly, the more you think about it, the less sense it makes.

I mean, seriously. Literally most scientific discoveries were counterintuitive, and going against the consensus and common sense of the time. How can they be proven in the first place then?

Mage: The Ascension's consensus reality sounds like a neat idea until you have to answer why it only affects some parts of the world but not others. If magic is difficult because people don’t believe in it, why doesn’t the weight of belief make the 10% of your brain myth a reality? Explanations are possible, but they’re awkward and cumbersome.

This is one of the reasons why I moved to Linux Mint.

I moved last October, and you all should do so too.

Something to help you all

Ok, here me out. I think there is some new malware risk, and that Steam may have some security issues, or even suffering an attack. See, I had decided to do some scans, and seen some worring signs. The files where, to my surprise, among the proton files I downloded from Steam. As in, downloded officially.

To be sure it was not a false positive, I looked through VirusTotal to be sure.

And then I found this. The file was scanned by numerous security vendors, and 22 out of the 73 vendors discovered a trojan. And among those vendors, where included Avast, Avira, ClamAV, Google, McAfee and Microsoft. This was bad, so I deleted it, and deleted the proton programs(and many other things from Steam, JUST TO BE SURE).

And I am not the only one who had seen this. I found two recent cases of people talking about similar cases on both GitHub, and on the the Steam Community.

Now, I dont want to accuse Steam and Valve of anything. They are likely victims of this.

But I post this, to spread some awarness, so Valve can fix this issue, if there is any, and not just a bunch of false positives.

October 25. A fire.

So. Today I worked a lot, had to study, and to clean some mold from some of the more isolated parts of my home. Good news is that it is 25 of October. And here in Romania, that is an actual celebration known as Focul lui Sumedru. It is an old celebration, and not one done in many parts anymore. But still, I decided to just draw a fire.
