New Things to Beware on the Internet
On May 3rd, Google released 8 new top-level domains (TLDs) -- these are new values like .com, .org, .biz, domain names. These new TLDs were made available for public registration via any domain registrar on May 10th.
Usually, this should be a cool info, move on with your life and largely ignore it moment.
Except a couple of these new domain names are common file type extensions: ".zip" and ".mov".
This means typing out a file name could resolve into a link that takes you to one of these new URLs, whether it's in an email, on your tumblr blog post, a tweet, or in file explorer on your desktop.
What was previously plain text could now resolve as link and go to a malicious website where people are expecting to go to a file and therefore download malware without realizing it.
Folk monitoring these new domain registrations are already seeing some clearly malicious actors registering and setting this up. Some are squatting the domain names trying to point out what a bad idea this was. Some already trying to steal your login in credentials and personal info.
This is what we're seeing only 12 days into the domains being available. Only 5 days being publicly available.
What can you do? For now, be very careful where you type in .zip or .mov, watch what website URLs you're on, don't enable automatic downloads, be very careful when visiting any site on these new domains, and do not type in file names without spaces or other interrupters.
I'm seeing security officers for companies talking about wholesale blocking .zip and .mov domains from within the company's internet, and that's probably wise.
Be cautious out there.

And I also like tons of other things as well and have a bunch of side interests! I doodle and ramble a lot about my fave interests! My masc faves are my favourite cat cots. They're going into my cat carrier. The ultimate cat basket. And I love my wifey wife faves <3 I have the most obvious and predictable tastes in the world.
You can check out the extra underneath the cut if you wanna see what characters classify as sen-core meow meow mfs.
Extra:
Here are my favourite characters compiled!
I finally did it! It's Sen's cat carrier of meow meow mf faves and puppies! And also my wifey wife faves 🥰💗✨ The ultimate cat basket, cuz my fave chara taste is predictable 😌🤸
I'm very attached to the WATGBS AU faves we have for our WATGBS AU :) I used my edits of the characters for this.
My top main faves are all very important and personal characters for me. So I felt like they should all be in the 1st row. Other than my top main characters in the 1st row, the placement is not according to order, just who I thought of first. There’s also many more characters I love!
Also yeah I absolutely did put 5 Magi charas on this list just cuz the cast is so goated in general, I had to. There’s 3 KHR, 3 WATGBS AU, 4 FGO, and 5 Magi charas here omg.
It would've been Sen's meow meow mf/cat carrier but Alibaba is there. Puppy surrounded by cat cots :)
Sen-core and meow meow mfs:
Sen-core and meow meow mfs are identifier terms my friends and I came up with to refer to the character design, personality, and writing tropes that appeal to and cater perfectly to my tastes. My brand in fictional characters! I'm my cats' cheerleader.
I'm passionate about meow meow mf ™️ characters, a very highly specific trope that all of my top main faves fall under. It's the meow meow mf instinct. It's like a radar. My meow meow mf senses are tingling.
How Sen picks favourite characters, or how to be considered sen-core. The Sen-core checklist:
Sen-core femme faves:
A cute/hot adult femme I lovingly chose as my wife, a deeply empathetic :D or ^v^ vibes person who loves their friends and/or the people they care for
Or, they are a hot cunning evil sadist type
Hits the specific sen-core niche of a soft femme chara or a hot cunning evil sadist type. They're cute and hot
Has black and/or white hair or is a redhead
Optional: Has gold eyes
Optional: Is a MILF
Sen-core masc faves:
Hits the specific sen-core niche of a meow meow mf ™️
Usually has black/white hair and/or a black/white monochrome colour scheme
Morally questionable, complex/complicated, or evil. Otherwise, they are too ok with violence and murder
Smug edgy asshole character, sen-core bastard cat, passive aggressively violent or threatens people
They are Type 1 sen-core cool aloof stoic cat >:| or :| or >:)
They are Type 2 sen-core smiley cat :) or :D or ^-^ or >:D
Emotionally repressed, stupid, and/or stunted. Doesn't fully understand human emotion and/or how to express themselves in normal ways
Optional: They're either buff with big tiddies or they're a twink
Optional: GNC, or an ikemen or bishounen type (pretty boy) type
Optional: Has a sad backstory and/or emotional issues they struggle with
Optional: Bloodthirsty. Sadistic, cruel and/or morally questionable or evil person that likes trampling on people
Optional: They are either ace-spec or super horny
Filling them all is so specific yet that includes so many characters of my faves! Basically, if they're cool, commit murder, have emotion issues, like violence, and constantly either :| or ^-^, a smug bastard, and have black and white colours (optional), then they're a meow meow mf!
Thanks for reading! I’m very passionate about my fave meow meow mfs and wifey wife faves! <3
