this is how multiplayer games treat your data while demanding you install kernel level secureboot rootkits to ‘prevent cheating’ lol

A new California law says all operating systems, including Linux, need to have some form of ID verification (which they’re calling age verification) at account setup. This makes absolutely ZERO sense if you have even the most basic understanding of technology

NEW: Contractors for Meta say they've been tasked with reviewing smart glasses footage in order to train the company's AI. The contractors say they've seen videos showing wearers having sex, undressing & using the bathroom. san.com/cc/what-your...

Well, I can deny it no longer I did a little work for Surviving Earth ;)

No words can describe the hope and hype and joy this show gives me

WE’RE GETTIN’ TRIASSIC MARINE REPTILES BAYBEE- #SurvivingEarth

New BTS #SurvivingEarth clip

#SurvivingEarth Gabriel Ugueto's concept art comes to life! A MAGNIFICENT DIMETRODON!

#SurvivingEarth TRIASSIC SEQUENCES!!! OMG!!! THIS IS INSANE!!!

Game 7, SendouQ finale, Overtime... Phew...

Lots of academics I really respect are highlighting this misunderstanding, which I’ve apparently also fallen prey to. But there’s an important point here: What did Carney think laymen would take away from his speech when he spoke of taking a sign out of a window in the face of a bullying regime?

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment. If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

SQUID SOCIAL 30 this Sunday!!! Don’t forget, we’ve got a 2v2 tournament and special 10-year anniversary poster. 🗓️ Sunday, March 1st, 12pm - 6pm 📍 Invictus Game Station, 558 Yonge St $25 venue fee

Here the result of the Ein Yabrud quarry #paleostream. An important locality from the Cretaceous of Palestine. While mostly famous for it's marine snakes and early mosasauroids, beautiful fish fossils and rich invertebrate fauna are completing this picture!

#compsplatoon A request: please call out genAI in team branding when you see it from your peers. Even better if event TOs have the resources to remove the "art", or prevent those teams from playing unless it's removed. I keep seeing more and more crop up despite the general anti-AI sentiment here.

As an artist in the splatoon community i agree with this so much. To the people who are considering using or are already using AI branding, remember that it will always look cheap and fake unlike even the shoddiest art you can make in paint, and it will reflect negatively on your overall brand

I’m div2 LUTI; wahoo!

Fuckery is afoot tonight! We are starting with the next formation stream in 1 hour!

Well... the thing is out. Spinosaurus mirabilis, here we go again! #paleoart #sciart #spinosaurus

Cool thing I learned about today: Haven would be an Anti-AI, anti-surveillance social media, that would monetize its creators fairly and go out of its way to promote art and real creators, and rival YouTube and other platforms Their kickstarter is linked below for those interested in the project ⬇️

Alternatives for Things Thread 🧵 List of apps/services/etc. that you should consider swapping to! Will forget things/have bias FOSS = free and open source software I'll start with Discord, but I don't think anything looks solid enough yet? Worth waiting a bit to see what looks best to move to

The world isn’t allowed to collapse until the entirety of Tim Haines’ Surviving Earth has released

I recommend to listen to this, especially older folks in the field. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZyX...

I've officially opened my #VGen! 🎉 I've only opened a couple quicker listings in small batches for now but I plan to open bigger listings once this new thing isn't so scary to me vgen.co/cookie5228

just in case you were debating MAYBE using your ID for these platforms anyway... Its all Palantir, all the way down. Considering Peter Thiel claims to hate government, they sure are his biggest customers.

"Discord is apparently switching age verification providers to Persona due to the bypasses... which means everything they said about it being client-side and face images not being uploaded is now false"

Oh you mean the company funded by PETER THIEL?

Damn I’ve been eating so much less sugars in the last few days and my body is almost shivering from the lack of it I know it’s necessary to have less of it but… the sweets…

you don’t need to scan ur face to use regular old servers and chats. please don’t give these guys your id they are notoriously terrible at security 😭😭😭😭😭

Nintendo saying "yeah rapid pro was accidentally nerfed but we were planning to do that anyway so we'll keep it in the game" is so incredibly funny

[Splatoon 3] Version 11.0.1 accidentally included some balance changes that were intended for a future update. • Rapid Blaster: Increased the radius inked by spray droplets from shots by about 10%. • Rapid Blaster Pro: Increased the amount of ink consumed by about 14%. 🐦 original post

For those interested in @joschuaknuppe.bsky.social's Formation pieces. I finally got around to updating the interactive map for them all! (unfortunately I am quite busy so updates can get sparse) montanoceratops.github.io/Formations/

Results from the #paleostream! Borealopelta, Haolong, Moschorhinus and Sauropia

SplatoonJP twitter account just posted about the rapid blaster changes that were secretly changed. They mention it was intended for a FUTURE update. They mention potential reversals to updates. Link: x.com/SplatoonJP/s...

Discord is implementing their UK and Australian plan worldwide, and that system leaked 70 000 IDs *confirmed by Discord* - the number could, and likely was, way higher. This gives us, Splatoon community, 3 options: risk having our data hacked, leave to another platform or trick the system. [thread]

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month - all accounts set to "teen-appropriate experience" by default www.theverge.com/tech/875309/... discord.com/press-releas...

And here the result of the MOTH locality #paleostream! This incredible site from the early Devonian of Canada preserves an alien fish fauna drawn by preschoolers. As with other pieces from this series we can't actually show where these animals were preserved. The anoxic...

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

Hate to be that guy, but the US congress will try to repeal section 230 (ensures free speech on the internet) and pass KOSA (age check for the internet, anonymity gone) The Splatoon community is made of teens and queers, this would destroy it. Do your civil duty below ⬇️ www.badinternetbills.com

Splatoon as a video game franchise feels incomplete and thats entirely bc it came out in the 2010s instead of the early 2000s where it would have gotten a 52 episode anime and accompanying shitty 4kids dub consisting mainly of fish puns set against 22 minutes of blaring midi orchestral penis music

Going through my Word and Google Docs and realizing I'm basically sitting on like 4-5 different scripts, going through my editing app and realizing I'm sitting on like 4-5 videos ranging from 80% done to 30% done maybe I need to lock in idk

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.
