Adobe Is Going To Spy On Your Projects. This Is Insane.

Adobe is going to spy on your projects. This is insane.

Yeah that's a thing that happens 👍

It took us ages to get really comfortable with being "inconsistent" around people who don't know we are a system, in public and such

We definitely were doing it for years before we actually knew we are a system

Good luck on your journey of self discovery🤞

- From one Trans and autistic system to another lol-

i realized i was a system like 2 days ago almost? and i’m noticing that i’m actually engaging in a form of masking similar to my autistic masking, but where i’m literally pretending to be my more palatable outward personality that everyone knows and expects of me instead of my actual personality that’s in the driver’s seat at that moment and it’s really jarring. I wonder if i’ve been doing this my whole life? or is this totally new? working through this shit on my own w no prior knowledge or experience is wild

I can't believe this

My DND players just absolutely clowned on my insane homebrew monster....this is what I get for hyping up how strong an enemy is going to be for three months.

The beast of bedlam was an absolutely cracked monster that they needed to get past

363 HP 22AC +15 to hit, multi attack and every attack hits harder than a fireball. Ranged and melee options even an AOE, regeneration, and whenever you hit it you have to save against going flying 30ft and landing prone, it could fly it had legendary resistance and magic resistance ........this thing was all of the awesomeness i could muster without guaranteeing a TPK against my LV 7 players ....or so i thought

They spent over a week (in game )prepping tons of glyphs of warding to make all this happen at once . ....then they Polymorphed into giant apes, enlarged themselves further, got hasted, greater invisibility, freedom of movement and armour of faithed up. Then when this thing was asleep they jumped it

They killed it in three rounds.....that's 18 seconds in game time a little over an hour of our actual lives

The beast of bedlam that had been the scourge of a continent for a thousand years only got two turns before they killed its ass.

(in all seriousness I am glad my players had fun and got to feel powerful.....but I am still a little sad to see my creation die quite so anticlimacticaly )

>First, we’ve discovered that about a quarter of all the internet connection in or out of the house were ad related. In a few hours, that’s about 10,000 out of 40,000 processed.

>We also discovered that every link on Twitter was blocked. This was solved by whitelisting the https://t.co domain.

>Once out browsing the Web, everything is loading pretty much instantly. It turns out most of that Page Loading malarkey we’ve been accustomed to is related to sites running auctions to sell Ad space to show you before the page loads. All gone now.

>We then found that the Samsung TV (which I really like) is very fond of yapping all about itself to Samsung HQ. All stopped now. No sign of any breakages in its function, so I’m happy enough with that.

>The primary source of distress came from the habitual Lemmings player in the house, who found they could no longer watch ads to build up their in-app gold. A workaround is being considered for this.

>The next ambition is to advance the Ad blocking so that it seamlessly removed YouTube Ads. This is the subject of ongoing research, and tinkering continues. All in all, a very successful experiment.

>Certainly this exceeds my equivalent childhood project of disassembling and assembling our rotary dial telephone. A project whose only utility was finding out how to make the phone ring when nobody was calling.

>Update: All4 on the telly appears not to have any ads any more. Goodbye Arnold Clarke!

>Lemmings problem now solved.

>Can confirm, after small tests, that RTÉ Player ads are now gone and the player on the phone is now just delivering swift, ad free streams at first click.

>Some queries along the lines of “Are you not stealing the internet?” Firstly, this is my network, so I may set it up as I please (or, you know, my son can do it and I can give him a stupid thumbs up in response). But there is a wider question, based on the ads=internet model.

>I’m afraid I passed the You Wouldn’t Download A Car point back when I first installed ad-blocking plug-ins on a browser. But consider my chatty TV. Individual consumer choice is not the method of addressing pervasive commercial surveillance.

>Should I feel morally obliged not to mute the TV when the ads come on? No, this is a standing tension- a clash of interests. But I think my interest in my family not being under intrusive or covert surveillance at home is superior to the ad company’s wish to profile them.

>Aside: 24 hours of Pi Hole stats suggests that Samsung TVs are very chatty. 14,170 chats a day.

>YouTube blocking seems difficult, as the ads usually come from the same domain as the videos. Haven’t tried it, but all of the content can also be delivered from a no-cookies version of the YouTube domain, which doesn’t have the ads. I have asked my son to poke at that idea.

I heard of a case at one point in history there was a serial killer who they called "the tea cup killer"

And the f*cker absolutely hated the nickname and couldn't do anything about it for years because saying anything would immediately out himself as the murderer
