Ok, here me out. I think there is some new malware risk, and that Steam may have some security issues, or even suffering an attack. See, I had decided to do some scans, and seen some worring signs. The files where, to my surprise, among the proton files I downloded from Steam. As in, downloded officially.
To be sure it was not a false positive, I looked through VirusTotal to be sure.
And then I found this. The file was scanned by numerous security vendors, and 22 out of the 73 vendors discovered a trojan. And among those vendors, where included Avast, Avira, ClamAV, Google, McAfee and Microsoft. This was bad, so I deleted it, and deleted the proton programs(and many other things from Steam, JUST TO BE SURE).
And I am not the only one who had seen this. I found two recent cases of people talking about similar cases on both GitHub, and on the the Steam Community.
Now, I dont want to accuse Steam and Valve of anything. They are likely victims of this.
But I post this, to spread some awarness, so Valve can fix this issue, if there is any, and not just a bunch of false positives.
CINE PULA MEA E CĂLIN GEORGESCU?!?
și cine dracu îl votează???
So. There is some chaos and discussion on what the democratic party in the USA should do. Keep Biden, or replace him with someone else(most likely Kamala Harris).
This is actually complicated, for several reasons. Sure, Kamala is younger, and in a better mental and physical shape and according to some polls she does better against Trump. But on the other hand, according to most polls, she does worse then Biden, the GOP has started their racist and sexist attacks against her, she lack the traditional incumbent advantage(incumbents tend to do better then they are polled to do), and a large part of the centrists and the goldfish swing voters have forgotten how bad things were under Trump.
But whatever the Democratic Party choses to do....please. Just fucking vote blue. If anybody from the USA sees this, vote blue, and save your country from fascism. Just...do this.
Today, I drew a Raven. It is not perfect, but I at least stopped with the more simplistic trees. Not happy with the legs.
So. Today I procrastinated, and has some personal issues. By the time I started drawing, I wanted to draw a bat hanging from a tree branch....but I have seem what the hour was, and have seen that there was not enough time. So I just drew the tree branch.
Today I procrastinated a little, but also worked a lot on other stuff.
So anyway, here is a small October scene I drew.
And no matter whose ass is in the White House, no one can take that from us. The Underground Railroad. The Jane Collective. Mutual Aid. Women’s Suffrage. The Civil Rights Movement. ACT UP. Historically, we’ve told the government “fuck you, we care”, and now is no different. We are survivors, we will endure, and we will support one another. Because as long as we do, they never win.
Don’t give up.
Don’t ever give up. Endure.
I am screaming into the void, but please, to any left winger from the USA who happens to see this. Dont fucking risk global stability, or the environment by voting third party. If you split your votes with Third party candidates, you know who will likely win?
Trump.
And you know what will happen if he wins? These things:
-The Palestinian genocide will continue, with even fewer chances of ending, because Biden at least tried to put a ceasefire.
-The Russian fascists will continue to murder innocent Ukrainians, and continue treatening Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
-Project 2025 will happen, and the USA will slide into actual fascism at worst.
-The Environment will be even wrost affected, and all attempts to mitigate the damage the USA does to the environment will be stopped, thus helping bring out a climate apocalypse.
-Worker rights will be ruined even worse in the USA.
-Fascists around the world will be emboldened.
-So much more shit.
And if you think you can fix this with a revolution, do you have any idea how bloody a revolution will actually be? How many people will die in a revolution, and how much a revolution increases poverty? Do you have any conception of the fact that a revolution can actually fail at succeeding and can be squashed by an army?
Do you have any idea how much less damaging and less risky just voting now is?
So. Today I tried to draw another wolf. After procrastinating. And I drew it in a hurry. Still, I think it turned out better then the last two wolf drawings I did, but now that I look, it has the worst coloration out of the three I did, and it still has some other issues with the limbs. But still, I think I am improving.
