I'm honestly impressed at the fucking audacity of this malware-installing ad. It had put something in my clipboard that would have run a virus installer if I'd followed the instructions.

A fake verification window that, instead of the usual 'choose all the images with cars' capcha, instructs the user to open Run and paste in whatever they'd loaded into your clipboard.

Okay troublemakers, punks, antifa supervillains, and anyone who just enjoys being a petty little shitbird while they fuck up the algorithm of a massive media corp. Here's your assignment for the weekend. Get on it and spread the word.

Get in. We're messing up Melania's Amazon search results.
This weekend, Amazon is premiering it's $40 million Melania Trump documentary. It already seems to be a flop.
But we're going to take it one step further by messing up Melania's Amazon search results. Specifically, we're going to amplify the paranormal erotic thriller, Melania: Devourer of Men so it ranks higher than her movie.
The book is perfect: it's absurd, the cover is ridiculous, and it's free, so we're not giving Amazon any money.
We need people to:
1. "buy" the book (it's free)
2. Share this post and get other people to buy the book.
That's it. Then we can celebrate as an erotic novel about a bat monster Melania Trump becomes a higher and higher search result on Amazon.

Here's how to get rid of Copilot
completely from your computer

1/ Settings App

> Taskbar
> Other System Tray Icons
> Switch "Microsoft 365 Copilot App" Off
This hides Copilot from your
taskbar

$(9) ABI Bouhmaida @forgoodcode 2/ Press Win + R > Type in ‘regedit’ > Navigate to "HKEY _CURRENT_USER\ Software \ Policie s\Microsoft\ Windows" > Right-click on the "Windows" Key > New > Key > Name the new key "WindowsCopilot’ > Right-click on the new key EY > DWORD (32-bit) Value$ @forgoodcode
3/
> Name the value
"TurnOffWindowsCopilot’

Congrats! Copilot is now completely
gone from your computer.
Hope this helps

There’s a free application, shutup10++, that lets you disable all the shitty windows stuff with a series of checkboxes. It even tracks if windows rolls anything back between updates and lets you reverse the changes with a click. I can personally recommend shutup10++ if you need to stick with windows

I'm trying my hand at zine making. The URL on the first page isn't active yet. I'm working on it. #Zine #Zines #Torrenting #BitTorrenting

2000s meme style image of a laughing man dressed as a quaker. Ha! Ha! I'm learning how to torrent! Learn to download stuff with BitTorrenting! Amaze your friends! Fun at parties! A zine by Ken. TheWorldOnAString.NeoCities.Org/Zines. Believe it or not, this meme was the height of comedy in the mid-2000s. Zoomers, take note. CC BY-SA 2025 Ken Alleman. Why torrent? Image of two computer screens, one with an up arrow and one with a down arrow, joined by a squiggly dotted line. There are plenty of reasons to learn how to do this. I don't care if yours are considered legal or not. As long as you're not causing harm to vulnerable people, you should do whatever you want. What concerns me is our ability to preserve materials that are rare, obscure, out of print, or otherwise without reliable distribution. There are few legitimate channels remaining for this purpose. We face a future without them entirely. Torrenting is a decentralized way to access those things and share them with each other, on our terms.

What you will need. A VPN, such as NordVPN. VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. Corporations and other entities keep a close eye on filesharing networks. A VPN will hide your computer's identity and location from them. This is the one part of your torrenting journey that will cost money, I'm afraid. Fortunately, the subscription fee for a VPN costs about the same as your typical video streaming service. I will mention specific services by name here and in the following pages. I don't have any kind of deal with them. I merely use them as examples.

A torrent client, like uTorrent. Torrenting involves downloading portions of the desired material from multiple peers. This is known as "leeching." Torrent clients are programs that facilitate this process. Once you have portions of the material on your own computer, the client will make them available to others in turn. This is known as "seeding." The torrent client enables you to pause, resume, or abandon this process at any time. Important tip: Keep your VPN protection active until you've either closed the torrenting client or emptied the download queue. And always use Task Manager to double check that the client has fully closed!

A place to download .torrent files, such as The Pirate Bay. Image of a plant in the soil, labeled ".torrent," whose roots reach below the soil in all directions. The process begins with a .torrent file, which the client uses to communicate with peers who have portions of the material associated with that .torrent file. These .torrent files can be found on torrent download websites. Those websites are frequently shut down or harassed on suspicion of illegal activity. Finding working versions of them (known as mirrors) can be tricky. The Pirate Bay has been remarkably sturdy. An antivirus/malware program, such as Malwarebytes. Image of an oversize image of a virus crashing into the shield, behind which is a computer screen. Torrenting is unregulated, which leaves open the possibility that the material you download isn't what it says it is. The VPN will protect you from outside surveillance, but it won't protect you from the risk of malware or viruses. Periodically scanning your computer with antivirus and antimalware tools will ensure that it remains safe and secure and running smoothly.

How to torrent, step one. Start your VPN. Select a location, typically from a list of countries. This will be the place that the torrented material will appear to be going, rather than to your computer. Step two. Look up what you're looking for on the torrent download website. If you find it, click to download the .torrent file. You can then either open the torrent client and use it to open the .torrent file, or you can click on the .torrent file, which will open the client. If it's your first time, you may be prompted to select the right program to open it. Step three. Once the torrent has reached 100%, you should have the complete material in your downloads folder. If there aren't enough seeders to reach 100%, check the torrent site for a different .torrent file for the same material. It's good etiquette to leave the torrent client open with the torrent in the queue at least some of the time. That way, you can be a seeder for others. Step four. Run your antivirus/antimalware program to ensure that nothing harmful has been downloaded onto your computer. Image of a swooshing line with the word "fin" in the middle.

So Windows 11 24H2 very sneakily removed the AC-3 audio codec. If you've upgraded it's not an issue, but if you're installing from scratch and suddenly your media isn't playing sound, you can get the codec back from MajorGeeks.
