What tumblr fails to grasp is that I’m not interested in community groups for the things I like because fans of my favorite things are often very wrong about them

The Soviets deported 95 000 Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians to Siberia between 25th and 29th March 1949.

Over just a few days, the Soviets deported 3% of Estonia's population. Entire towns' worth of people were just uprooted from their homes to be sent to work and starve in inhumane conditions.

Most of them were women and children under the age of 16, all transported to Siberia in cattle cars. Many of them died on the way, and others broke under the harsh conditions in Siberia. Thousands never made it back home.

Every family in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania has a story and name(s). Many of these stories will never have closure.

Russia has never formally apologised for these actions or paid reparations. Russia has never formally apologised for these and many, many more actions.

Today Russia is deporting Ukrainians from their homeland. Since 24th February 2022, Russia has deported and displaced 20,000 children from Ukraine. In March 2025, Russia declared Ukrainians in occupied areas "need to get a Russian passport or leave."

It’s been 76 years. There still hasn’t been any justice.

It's been 76 years and nothing has changed.

This is actively, right now, happening in Ukraine.

everybody's doing this game so now i'm gonna do it too! here's a list of 150 of my favorite films in a sort of loosely tiered order.

anyway! fun game! if you had fun pls reblog!!!! and don't yell at me if you find this list offensive or uninclusive of your favorites or whatever!! it's just fun and games!!! can't believe i'm having to say this but i know how people on this website can be!!!

I think every computer user needs to read this because holy fucking shit this is fucking horrible.

So Windows has a new feature incoming called Recall where your computer will first, monitor everything you do with screenshots every couple of seconds and "process that" with an AI.

Hey, errrr, fuck no? This isn't merely because AI is really energy intensive to the point that it causes environmental damage. This is because it's basically surveilling what you are doing on your fucking desktop.

This AI is not going to be on your desktop, like all AI, it's going to be done on another server, "in the cloud" to be precise, so all those data and screenshot? They're going to go off to Microsoft. Microsoft are going to be monitoring what you do on your own computer.

Now of course Microsoft are going to be all "oooh, it's okay, we'll keep your data safe". They won't. Let me just remind you that evidence given over from Facebook has been used to prosecute a mother and daughter for an "illegal abortion", Microsoft will likely do the same.

And before someone goes "durrr, nuthin' to fear, nuthin to hide", let me remind you that you can be doing completely legal and righteous acts and still have the police on your arse. Are you an activist? Don't even need to be a hackivist, you can just be very vocal about something concerning and have the fucking police on your arse. They did this with environmental protesters in the UK. The culture war against transgender people looks likely to be heading in a direction wherein people looking for information on transgender people or help transitioning will be tracked down too. You have plenty to hide from the government, including your opinions and ideas.

Again, look into backing up your shit and switching to Linux Mint or Ubuntu to get away from Microsoft doing this shit.

there are multiple options here depending on how comfortable you are digging into your computer's registry. You can either simply disable it surface level through settings or excise it entirely from the system registry

reblogging again as a cautionary tale to please PLEASE fucking make a system restore point before you do anything. i consider myself tech savvy and still nearly bricked my computer. and make sure you know how to access safe mode

i feel like nobody has NOTPs anymore. like if you hate a ship now it has to be for some deep moral reason and you have to justify it to everyone what happened to just not liking stuff that isnt inherently bad but just because you personally think it sucks

unpopular opinion but i think a ship that's not canon but both halves are canonically insane about each other is infinitely better than a ship that's canon and boring

Little doodles I made that I might make into charms!

what is happening in ukraine is absolutely a genocide by all definitions of the word – it is textbook down to the last bullet and bomb – and yet there are people on here who claim to care about human life who still insist it's all a ploy or it doesn't matter because "white people" or worse, because they're simping for a fascist (putin. it's putin.)

I just realized that many many people have jobs

Rb with your job, wtf do you people do while offline???

This love is Thrill, Shock, Suspense

Furuya Rei's friends and the (bad) examples they're still leading from beyond the grave

I was debating a different ending and ended up going with this one, but here's the other one too for fun:

just finished m25!! a thought:

Furuya: “With the liquid of the bomb completely analyzed and a neutralizer created, it had allowed me to be able to escape the bomb already—thanks to my outstanding subordinate's doing.”

so had kazami been kneeling beside furuya for like hours upon hours in close quarters in a high-stress high-tension situation staring at and fiddling with his superior's neck i mean the bomb collar around his superior's neck? because ：）

I don't know who needs to hear this but please please please please please explore the settings. Of your phone, computer, of every app you use. Investigate the UI, toggle some things around and see what happens. You won't break anything irreperably without a confirmation box asking you if you really mean to do that thing. And you can just look up what a setting will do before touching it if you're really worried ok?

Worst case scenario you just have to change the settings back if you don't like what happened but it is so so so important to explore the tools available to you and gain a better understanding for how the stuff you use works.

Even if you already know. Even if you're comfortable with how you use it now. You don't just have to accept whtever experience has been handed to you by default and it's good for you to at least know what's available to you.

Yeah. I've been "good at computers" since I was a kid and since I was a kid I've been telling people that all it is is a willingness to look at settings and push buttons.

Computers are good at "are you sure?" and "reset to defaults". There's a safety net. Go look at the options, and push 'em if you're not sure. That's like 90% of being "good at computers" : not being scared to push buttons and fiddle with options when something is broken or you need to learn a new thing
