mood of the morning.

BlueSky has invented a new form of ban where they ban you but it’s not a ban so you can’t appeal it because you haven’t been banned even though you’re banned.

lmao

the admiral just outlawed piracy. can't have shit in lominsa.

Sweden becomes the first country to ban all AI music from their official charts! Huge win!

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I don't want to crush people's dreams, but I think we need to focus less on "going viral" and more on building a strong community around our works. Having A Big Number by itself doesn't help much. You can't eat social media numbers. You need the people on the other side of the screen to CARE.

If you’re anti-ICE but not anti-cop you are missing the whole entire point.

Posts from Minneapolis residents read like they'll be read in voiceover in a Ken Burns-like doc one day

i can't believe this is working

I think XIV needs to shoutout their VAs more. Arcadion having more voices made it into the best raid series for me. Voice acting really makes a huge difference and VAs in general deserve their flowers.

I need people who don’t live in the Twin Cities to stop telling people not to join massive Signal groups right now. People are doing it. They’re going to keep doing it. Give them good advice about it. The actually practical advice is don’t say anything to 1000 strangers you wouldn’t say in public

This seems like a maliciously put headline to make people feel a certain way. Wikipedia is not partaking in generative AI. They are making AI companies and scrappers having to pay for training their modules off wikipedia texts. And having an AI (not that ai) tasked with updating dead links.

She's taking a tank buster guys it's okay, that tongue is NOT a forbidden move!! 💥Jasper and Aletris <) #mih4nnart

In WoLNPC land, they're both pretty strong on this one, but many beings look at Strix and Raubahn and badly, lethally misjudge which one of them becomes the limiters-off unilateral ultraviolence machine when the other is credibly threatened.

If you need extra incentive to stop using the fancy characters in your display names or captions, they also won't get picked up by Bluesky's search tool for the same reason screenreaders won't parse them correctly. You're making yourself harder to find!

Announcing ICE Breaker: A charity speedrun event by myself & @rrlat.bsky.social on Jan 30 - Feb 1 to support Minnesotans in defending from ICE. Submit runs: oengus.io/marathon/ice... Volunteer: forms.gle/51HEcBmhUC8X... Run submissions close Sunday. Volunteer apps have a soft deadline of Saturday

really the only advice I can give both new and old users is don’t sub to blocklists, because people use them for revenge and trolling and you’ll end up blocking people you like 💀

out for lunch

Its been another long day for the Chief of the Bureau of Architect, testing concept after concept very, very thoroughly... #🖌

Hey guys, just so you know there is an anti-Al writing tool, similar to MS Words or more like Google docs. It has all the basic functions for formatting, they don't scrape your writings, and pledged never to integrate Al Oh and it's completely free ellipsus.com

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.

DO *NOT* USE STICKERMULE

generationally impactful post

I’ve used sticker ninja for my vinyl stickers in the past despite not being in their city and they are lovely, they even do the cut lines and help with printing semi-transparent designs

Ironically, this guy chewing up and spitting out AI slop is probably the most artistic thing that could have happened with this gallery show.

another old one i totally forgot i did i love the chais...

( I feel like I'm going crazy but I think I've seen a ton of these Boar's Head recalls? It might be worth being a bit extra careful or planning differently, especially if you're feeding kids. I've read it might have something to do with relaxed legislation so it might be a problem in general... )

i don't go to xiv anymore and i admittedly haven't updated this doc, but anyone and everyone is free to take from it and create their own and even source it. it includes a bunch of black hair mods, and modders, that i looked to for my own modding. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

old doodle: leofard goes to costco

lrp i think it bears mentioning that the website that was supposed to be *the* repository for xiv mod tutorials mostly links to long deleted google docs and youtube vids. how the fuck can the people learn if the school got no books.

“just do it yourself” for modding is so fucking reductive when a lot of guides are scattered all over the place, are not well written, or assume you already have some basic knowledge of blender.

This is you guys on here

I FOUND THE COMIC!!! alas the artist has deleted all their tweets but it still came up in google images! @/ Jinzeiart was the artist, but i'm not sure the original tweet's author
