Awesome that this is the first time they drop a preview of the dungeon gear, and nobody has to pray that their job’s set is the one they want to glamour.

A disabled friend going to FanFest is concerned about the lack of consideration for disabilities and may end up selling their ticket. If anyone can pass along to SE or someone in fanfest, would be appreciated. would be sad if someone couldn't enjoy the event because of obstacles.

#FFXIV FanFest is neither a safe nor accessible convention.
-People asking for disability accessibility need to have a phone call to prove their needs
-they then must agree to specific accessibility accommodations within 24 hours of a follow up email or schedule another full phone call.

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Fishing is the true hardcore endgame of #FFXIV and don't let anyone tell you otherwise
Today is a momentous day in FFXIV fishing history!
Bobgoblin Bass takes the podium sweep for downtimes, with a 38 day downtime starting now. It knocks Cinder's recent 32 day vacation out of third place.
This is the 2nd longest downtime of any fish in #FFXIV.

Specifically, police must have a warrant to search your phone ONLY to get a password, passcode, pattern, or PIN - anything you know.
If your phone unlocks via biometrics (fingerprint, face, retina, etc.) OR is unlocked, they don't need a warrant and can look at EVERYTHING including copying files.

Oh, no, no, no, no. Hell, no.
Aside from hackability, here's why this is a VERY bad idea:
A cop (or cop impersonator) pulls you over, asks to see ID.
You unlock your phone to access it and show it to them.
They grab your unlocked phone and can now browse through it at will.

So, just to be clear, in addition to sending queer people out into the cold to starve or freeze to death, the SA also:
- provides food services for ICE
- provides correctional services to the carceral system
- union busts
They’re almost comedically evil.

The apartment building my Grandparents were living in burned down when my mother was a baby. The Salvation Army assisted the other tenants with emergency housing. They wouldn't help my Mom's family because they were Jewish.
I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

with fanfest coming back around people are reflecting on the furry covid comic about it but as someone who went, there were shockingly few people actually wearing masks. if you go this year i’d really recommend an N95. people knowingly go to huge public events with infectious diseases.
