Great artwork! I like a lot the lighting and the details

Ah shit, here we go again

It could be that they care about proper typography, or that they use software that enforces typography rules (MS Word and Libreoffice Writer do). ChatGPT did not invent em dashes, you know?

Lovely artwork ✨

A bit late, but happy birthday! 🦉

Sherma from Hollow Knight: Silksong

You read it here first:

Fangamer is going to release a singing Sherma plush

But it seems like most email providers did not get the memo and continue (even today) to say that 587 is the best option and 465 is deprecated.

I was thinking again earlier this week that emails are the most troublesome thing in IT, and again I was not deceived 😵

From what I understood, the answer is that, **as of 2025**, 465 should be the preferred option (makes sense, since it is always encrypted).
But for a long time, 465 was more like a draft and eventually got considered deprecated before it was brought back alive by RFC 8314 in 2018

Today, while configuring a printer to send emails for document scans, I wondered (again) if I should use port 465 (SSL/TLS) or port 587 (STARTTLS) for SMTP communications, but this time I took the time to actually read the full story behind it.
And clearly, I was not ready for that 🤯

Discord stating that "personal identity documents or video selfies are deleted immediately after age verification is confirmed"

🙃

Discord says hackers stole government IDs of 70,000 users As more sites require IDs for user age verification, expect more such breaches to come.

You know the term "AI" has gone completely meaningless when Kurzgesagt describes the auto-align feature of Adobe Illustrator as AI

I will also add that "tracking" itself is not an evil concept... I definitely agree that sometimes tracking goes way too far, but knowing for example how many people came from a specific platform or social media is very useful if you are a creator or a business, and is purely statistical.

Removing them blindly (aside from well-known tracking variables with a specific name) may prevent the page from working properly.
An example is Discord, that uses query parameters in its file links to prevent them from being hotlinked. Removing them from a Discord link makes the link stop working.

This is very inaccurate advice.
Despite query parameters (the actual names of things after the "?") are used a lot for tracking, they also have a lot of legitimate uses, such as specifying the current page, search filters, or just any other data potentially useful for a web page.

I remember the exact same thing happening as well to me several years ago. Not sure what it was as well, probably a short circuit? (that was on line 8)

Amazing colors ✨

Well done!

Variant of the "Not what I'm called" meme where the characters call me "Alio" (my actual name is "Ailo[thaen]")

Yes I know, I am two months late

Turn, turn, turn again
