oh this is evil

What is that?

discord is adding parental surveillance. as nerdskii’s tags pointed out its a ridiculous measure that doesnt help anyone because apps like Signal exist for actual illegal/sketchy activity and this just hurts lgbt teens looking for somewhere to be themselves and have resources especially with conservative parents

I use android. this is my secure folder, which was built into my phone. it has a customize option, so I’ve made it look like some bland fitness app. when you open it, it asks you to enter a password or unlock it in any other way you’ve set it to unlock before it lets you in

inside of this folder is like a 2nd phone almost, I can hide apps in here or have different accounts on apps I’ve already installed. I have a separate discord and tumblr inside of my secure folder (which I moved this blog to recently)

there are similar third party apps, usually disguised as a calculator that you set a certain number or calculation as the password to unlock. that’s a lot more inconspicuous if opened, but also more well known, and parents might be looking out for any suspicious calculator apps

also, be careful what 3rd party apps you download, especially when it’s concerning things like your accounts and data! make sure you’re downloading something safe and secure

this isn’t foolproof, depending on how far your parents are going to track you. if they’ve installed anything or had you install anything on your phone or computer, or had the chance while you weren’t there, be careful for spyware. some apps report how long you look at each app, or can record sound from your phone on demand

also important: a good VPN can secure what you’re looking at from the router, which parents may be able to access information from, but this also isn’t guaranteed to work if the parental controls are set to block VPNs

another one, if your parents are tracking your location but not your app usage: download a GPS spoofer. you don’t necessarily need to root your phone for this, as long as it’s supported in developer settings. a lot of them are branded as tools for pokemon go, which can be helpful for plausible deniability

parents reading this: these are things I’ve learned from constantly having my shit taken and looked through as a teen. you aren’t protecting your kids, you’re ruining any chance of them trusting you with anything. if something goes wrong, you’re going to be the last person they tell, because someone who goes to these lengths to see any little thing isn’t going to be chill when something actually bad happens if this is how you act when literally nothing is happening

oh seems very suspicious to see the barbie movie tumblr pop up on my dash after the strike. maybe it was made before, but I’m actually seeing it now

remember:

there’s no boycott on going to see new media

but there is a promotional blackout

don’t do the studio’s marketing work for them

I just checked their archive. They created it Today, July 17th.

prior to the strike they did not have an official tumblr lmaoooo

don’t reblog their shit

So in this episode of The Daily about AI and a reporters mentions fanfiction being sucked up by Chat GPT. At minute 17:10 she is speaking about how fic creators discovered that their work was being filtered through Chat GPT because it knew all about a “character named Bucky, that is a combination of several characters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer,”

I cannot for the life of me find any fic with a “Bucky” that isn’t Bucky Barnes. Anyone know of this? She got this info from interview groups of fic writers. Im wondering if she misunderstood that people were pairing Buffy Summers with Bucky Barnes 😅

sag-aftra press conference.

In case you missed it, SAG-AFTRA just finished up a press conference where they talked to union members and the press about what’s up.

Here are the big things (that I remember):

• The deadline extension from June 30 to July 12 was made in good faith on SAG-AFTRA’s part. They thought the AMPTP would utilize the extra time to come to the table with a fair deal. They did not. It is suspected that they wanted the extension to have more time to promote their summer blockbusters.
• The studios wanted to be able to have AI scans of background actors. These actors would be paid once, and then the studios would be able to keep the actors’ likeness, use the data for eternity without the actors’ consent, and never pay them again. Keep in mind that only two percent of SAG-AFTRA members are big names. This proposal would’ve affected the other ninety-eight percent of members, many of whom are living paycheck to paycheck at the moment.
• The AMPTP tried to turn union membership against Fran Drescher (current union president) by circulating a picture of her “living it up” in Italy with Kim Kardashian. This was a work obligation on Drescher’s part. She’s a brand ambassador for a fashion line, and whenever she wasn’t on set, she was working with the negotiation committee via Zoom and text.
• The video that was sent out to union members on June 28, in which they were told that the negotiations were going well, was filmed before the negotiations got to the core issues – AI, residuals, etc.
• The AMPTP’s deal was “disrespectful and egregious.”
• The other labor unions in the industry stand in solidarity with each other.
• Fran Drescher called the AMPTP’s plan to wait out the WGA until they were homeless “unnecessary evil.”
• While SAG-AFTRA is open to returning to the negotiating table at any time, leadership was signaled that the AMPTP was not interested; they believe the strike could last for a while.
