New Things to Beware on the Internet
On May 3rd, Google released 8 new top-level domains (TLDs) -- these are new values like .com, .org, .biz, domain names. These new TLDs were made available for public registration via any domain registrar on May 10th.
Usually, this should be a cool info, move on with your life and largely ignore it moment.
Except a couple of these new domain names are common file type extensions: ".zip" and ".mov".
This means typing out a file name could resolve into a link that takes you to one of these new URLs, whether it's in an email, on your tumblr blog post, a tweet, or in file explorer on your desktop.
What was previously plain text could now resolve as link and go to a malicious website where people are expecting to go to a file and therefore download malware without realizing it.
Folk monitoring these new domain registrations are already seeing some clearly malicious actors registering and setting this up. Some are squatting the domain names trying to point out what a bad idea this was. Some already trying to steal your login in credentials and personal info.
This is what we're seeing only 12 days into the domains being available. Only 5 days being publicly available.
What can you do? For now, be very careful where you type in .zip or .mov, watch what website URLs you're on, don't enable automatic downloads, be very careful when visiting any site on these new domains, and do not type in file names without spaces or other interrupters.
I'm seeing security officers for companies talking about wholesale blocking .zip and .mov domains from within the company's internet, and that's probably wise.
Be cautious out there.

Just learned that there's such thing as a headmate market, where people sell fake alters. For real money. Man, what world do we live in, this is basically human trafficking for fake DID systems 💀💀💀💀

enjoying regular celeb shit on Tumblr and IG and then going to the all informative balanced platform that is Tik Tok and seeing that so many of them are genocide supporters / so much of our media consumption is tied back to the oppression of others
#me having enjoyed Usher's Super Bowl performance just to go to Tik Tok and have ppl be like WELL ACTUALLY#BIG FUCKING YIKES#everything in media sucks and it's always tied to some bullshit

It makes me sick to my stomach that my vaguely political blog with more followers feels safer then my main with less; simply because a couple people decided a few years ago their fun new hobby would be stalking a then fresh 18 year old

the absolute nightmare I experienced the other day when I joined a discord server I'd seen on TT (my first mistake, don't worry, it gets worse) only to find it was
an all ages server
had unrestricted nsfw channels
was run by a fifteen year old
had members at least as young as THIRTEEN and there were in fact people OVER EIGHTEEN
I did not stay long enough to gather whether or not the adults and the teens were talking in the nsfw channels together, because I really didn't want to know
I've never hit leave server so fucking fast
#asi rants#delete later#the ick was fucking immediate lmfao#i went to the introduction channel; saw the ages of the last couple of people to join; scrolled a bit to check the rest#and fucking booked it after seeing the madness happening#big fucking yikes#anyway i might make and 18+ server for resident evil simps#mostly geared towards wesker but i do appreciate the other fine fellows#god that was vile

I do actually think it would be hilarious if Cavill came back as Geralt and was like, “oh no jk, I actually love the direction of this show”
#LMAO#funny cause there’s a bunch of bs about who’s in the right or wrong of what the Witcher is about#and I’m annoyed at so many fans who jump to one person’s side even though#it was said person’s decision to leave#I wouldn’t really care either way#but I would SO find it funny for all the people who hang on his every word#that said it’s SO fucked up whwt DC did to him#like#big fucking yikes#they basically screwed him over#that company really needs to go 💀#no company tries to destroy itself like DC does smh#but also ??? that dude - why did he not sign a contract?? like damn

The thing about 12-step programs is that the basic model involves getting a bunch of vulnerable, impulsive nutsos together in a plausibly cult-y atmosphere where they're likely to have already burned a lot of social bridges. That it doesn't turn out to be a hotbed of abuse would be the more farfetched assumption.
#the more and more distance I have from that part of my life the more I'm like wow actually what happened WAS kinda fucked up huh#dodged a bullet no big deal all's well that ends well etc but YIKES

19.11.23, sunday
I listened to Succession soundtrack a lot today and had about the most productive day I’ve had in so so long
things done today:
7h of coding
went to my sister’s kid’s birthday party (mario theme 🍄)
#even tho during the first 4 hours it was me slowly realizing that I had configured/set up my one project wrong somehow#and I’m so far gone with it now that idk how to rly fix it other than starting again and trying to speedrun all I’ve done so far#aka the 50hours I’ve spent on it#but i’m hoping I’ll get it to function by just fucking around with adding some files & paths manually (i doubt that’ll work)#that’s a big yikes that I would not have time for#but I’ve done enough to get a grade out of that course but rn it’d be 3/5 and I want 5/5 bc it’s an easy course to get that from#and god knows I need to do everything in my power to raise my gpa#studyblr#bookblr#booklr#aesthetic#books#study#reading#read#book#dark academia#chaotic academia#november 2023#2023

sometimes I get so tickled all over again by how much Dorian's main trait truly is Nerd. Alexius basically fished him up from a downward spiral of joyless debauchery and self-destruction by showing up like 'hey I've got some theoretical magical physics equations I could use your help on, if you've got the time' and not only did it work, it seems to have been one of if not the most stabilizing things that have ever happened to him fhsjkfsaf
#'here's the hardest puzzle anyone could think up and a room to read in; go wild' did the trick apparently lol#dragon age#dragon age inquisition#dorian pavus#it's his most consistent trait in the game; any time anything fucked up and magical happens he will go#'well that is awful naturally big yikes and so on. but I wonder how it works' and I love him very much

I guess I'm gonna get involved with the "Luis Serra is a white man" allegations because absolutely not.
He's from a remote island in Spain, right? An island no one has really heard of before in the Resident Evil universe, right? And if that we're so, that would also mean that there's little to no tourists or people moving there, right? And if all of the people there are natives, how the fuck is Luis white? (With a capital 'hwa')
Make it make sense please for the love of god.
Besides, there are thousands of different cultures just in Spain alone, so there's little doubt in my kind that Luis can't be mixed. He could be Hispanic and African. He could be partially Indigenous partially Hispanic. He could he fully Indigenous for all we know.
So why do you want to make him white so bad? It's so frustrating.
There are barely any true POC main characters in a lot of medias, including Resident Evil, so why can't you just be happy that people are getting representation?
"B-B-BUT1!1!1! SPAIN IS EUROPEAN AND EUROPEAN IS WHITE! 1!1" Erm..! Not all the time, buddy.
There are hundreds of dark skin Europeans, mixed Europeans, and even native people's from all of the different and vast countries in Europe. And guess what? You'd still consider them European.
💥
WOE, A NON WHITE MAN UPON YE!!
#SICK AND TIRED OF THIS DISCOURSE TBH#Luis Serra#HE US NOT A WHITE MAN SHUT THE FUCK UP! 1! 1!#I am inside your walls#:3#Big fucking rant post yikes...!#But this is my side of it cause y'all make no sense lmao

cuddy ilu but have you maybe considered pranking House by putting clingfilm over his toilet seat or glitter bombing him rather than playing ‘trip the cripple’ and forcing the guy with chronic pain who’s not very steady on his feet to walk up multiple flights of stairs
#yes yes I know Wilson sawed through his cane that one time BUT in fairness House was GOADING HIM ON PURPOSE#for AGES#to try to FORCE him to retaliate in some big dramatic way#and he fucking LOVED it when Wilson did that#he would've let Wilson fuck him right there on the floor#look at his smile in that scene and tell me otherwise I DARE YOU#this........ really isn't that?? It's 'House was annoying and Cuddy is frustrated so she takes it out on him in immature ways'#which is fun!! I love that Cuddy doesn't always have to be the perfect sensible one#but also.................. as A Disabled...... mmmmmm#in short: love the idea of Cuddy descending to House's level and playing pranks on him#but ones that are specifically taking advantage of his disability? yikes.

Watching Helluva Boss and I'm constantly questioning the sanity and wellbeing of its creator. Repeatedly saying "What the fuck‽" at the screen.
The entire show is a yikes fest. I love it.
