Sketch commission for @amberhearts for a cute floof ball version of his sheep OC. Specifically "As floofy as possible".
Floof enough? :3
Amber already posted it himself, but can't hurt to post it here too~
I'm playing Staxel and it's cute, it's like a cross of Minecraft and Stardew Valley
@enbyss@hellsite.site the popcap game i remember playing the most (excluding plants vs zombies) is Rocket Mania!

@amberhearts@meow.social maybe, I always assumed it was something specific to certain instances, though I haven't paid much attention to which
@amberhearts@meow.social incidentally, if I try to open the image on a web browser, it simply directs me to a 404 page
@amberhearts@meow.social like attached files. I believe the poster intended these to be images like any other but they're not displayed, at least not on my client.
Been seeing a lot of toots with included files which I simply cannot see, which I assume are meant to be images that Tusky can't read

Two things that happened this week:
- YouTube started banning the use of ad blockers
- Google was found serving ads with malware

Today I filed a formal complaint against #YouTube with the Irish Data Protection Commissioner for their illegal deployment of #adblock detection technologies.
Under Article 5(3) of 2002/58/EC YouTube are legally obligated to obtain consent before storing or accessing information already stored on an end user's terminal equipment unless it is strictly necessary for the provisions of the requested service.
In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent.

Hey folks, I've seen a lot of talk going around about adblockers lately. I worked in the advertising technology and security industry for five years and the one core piece of advice I have is:
Holy fuck never give an advertiser your data. You cannot believe how bad it is. Don't. I run three layers of ad block protection and I'd run more if it was feasible. If you want to support creators give them money.

YouTube could have cut losses a lot more, without enraging everyone and radicalizing folks to team adblocking, if they'd just limited quality to 360p or even 240p without watching ads or having a paid account.

@njion I'm not an expert or even a student on the subject matter but I understand that the region of the brain that handles pain is pretty close to the region of the brain that handles pleasure, so the wires might get "crossed" sometimes
