Details:

1. The hacker has not been doxxed. There's no evidence linking the accused KF user to the Twitter account and no evidence linking the accused KF user to the GitHub account.

2. The only source for the claim that the hacker lost $300,000 is the hacker. This is after the hacker posted screenshots purporting to be their cryptocurrency balance and someone pointed out they lost $300,000 that day, according to those screenshots.

Those screenshots were probably not real: among other things, they implied the hacker had $15,000,000. Even if they were, it's not obvious how the hack would have affected the hacker's cryptocurrency balance. A more likely explanation (if one is even needed) is price fluctuation, but I choose to believe the entire crypto story is fake.

3. The only people in a position to know how the hacker got access to the account are the tech team who have a legitimate reason to access it. We have no statement from the tech team. The closest thing we have to a statement on this is from Susan on the GoFundMe, who admits to being very nontechnical. She claims "Know it wasn't as simple and someone having a password. It was done maliciously using very personal information and fraud." (gofund.me/b5b62ea0)

We don't do anything to stop climate change because it makes people who are already rich a lot of money.

That's it. That's the only reason.

"There's no machine known that is more efficient than a human on a bicycle. Bowl of oatmeal, thirty miles. You can't come close to that."

β€”Not surprising that Bill Nye, the Science Guy, has known about the efficiency of the bicycle for a long time.

Update from the #FurAffinity Discord:

Great news everyone! We’ve connected with all necessary contacts and finally made progress in recovering our domain. The tech team has regained control and temporarily locked down the site while they double-check everything and continue to move things forward.

Signal boosting: Furaffinity staff have manually logged everyone out to protect against session token theft.

They're asking people to not log in again until they give the green light!

To add a note of my own: the reason they've done that is the attackers don't need your password, they just need you to open the website & then they can steal your authentication cookies and pretend they're you.

Been wondering if I've got a gluten sensitivity after last nights dinner (sloppy joes) made me feel so bloated eating the buns, and same again today eating a sandwich for lunch.

Also kinda realised that I don't eat much bread at all nowadays because it makes me feel bloated.

Might try some gluten free buns next time I go to the supermarchΓ©.

New extractor fan fitted!

We found out why the previous fan was glued in; because the previous owner had bought a fan too small for the hole that he'd made in the plasterboard (there's a wooden frame inside for the fan to screw into) and decided to just glue the one he'd bought in place.

Thankfully the one I bought was big enough to screw into the frame and is working much better at extracting. :)

A recent commission, girl with a big gun :blobfoxdealwithit:

The species is called "star harvesters" I think...

I enjoy drawing suits like this, not super armoured, but with a cool sci-fi twist :blobfoxhappy:

So, with PinkNews going all trans-exclusionary, it seems a good time to update my LGBTQ news feeds. Does anyone have any good recomendations? extra kudos if the new source has good UK coverage?
