Cheers for what you do, the digital divide is real

I forgot to mention that you now can’t even read only let alone print a document without a Microsoft Word subscription. I switched to Libre Office

Shrinkflation is getting out of control.

Thinking.

There are so many people I have a lot in common with and could get along with really well - if they would treat me with respect.

They’re always so shocked and angry when you set a boundary or leave, too. Like… you expect me to just take that?

Walks across the room

seasick

Exactly like a hobbit

Average conversation in my area…

Hold on a minute…

Ok, catch!

Yeah burrowing owls. I wish I was cute and fluffy and could hide in a hole in the ground…

I have some but can’t throw that far

I would have loved to have one of those before princess got jailed

I once heard a saying - ‘C’s get degrees’

Not sure how true it is but just get what credit you can for getting it done

I could but at the moment it might be a bit of a steep learning curve for me. And if it gets picked up as changing where my traffic comes from I’ll probably be banned (so instead of inaccessible everything would just be gone)

When this under 16 ban comes in I’m going to lose all the collected art resources I carefully organised and all my YouTube playlists…

VPNs get you banned or shadowbanned but kids under 16 won’t care. They could just keep churning through a bunch of new accounts, the disposability encouraging them to do whatever they want.

But for me when I’m unwell and can’t do much else I spend a lot of time collecting and organising reference photos, art tutorials, and posts with links to free art books. There’s a few years worth that will be near impossible to back up.

And I don’t know what sites will be affected which makes it hard to even try to start migrating.

It will also cut me off from a lot of other artists.

This crap isn’t going to do anything but punish disabled people who spend a lot of time online and people who care about privacy.

But that’s the Australian government’s way. Make grand promises (usually involving “protecting the children”) and then do something that doesn’t work - and has unintended consequences.

I have much more to say about that but I’m tired -_-

Happy birthday!

Had to log in install an app and allow location (which I will be turning off) just to be able to print a test page and run the head cleaning thing… on a printer.

I swear ten years ago this crap would have seemed like malware. Requiring a full colour cartridge to print b+w is definitely a scam.

No black is printing despite it saying the cartridge has some. Waiting on a second level clean and next I’m going to try installing new drivers.

Missing my hulking reliable old printer scanner and wishing I didn’t buy a HP.

I have no idea what was meant but it sounds weirdly fake-deep and neggy. 🤨

They could have just said something nice instead or thanked you for contributing

Edit: I’m hoping it was intended nicely

Now get him some Mane N Tail

I want so badly to draw or do something but not enough to actually be able to do it. It’s like my mind and body are fried.

Almost a week after the iron infusion I’m still aching, nauseous, have a splitting headache and going between hot and cold.
