damn i went off, but it still baffles me how people are ok with "content creator". a term that would feel appropriate in Idiocracy (2006)

the problem with modern internet is that i have seen dozens of videos recommended to me by youtube about some "LEGO CoNtROverSY". and i still have no fucking idea what transpired. because i don't fucking care. yet i have to continue encountering this shit. because everything has to be a clickbait.

people hate on google (and rightfully so), but this is the first result for "tokyo vs tokio" on duckduckgo:

no youtube i dont want to watch summer game fest. and i don't give a shit who restreams it

they've been on and off this shit since "AI" became the buzzword. just to keep the word buzzing, since there's not really much of "rapid advancements" to show for. like every fucking new chatgpt model was to be the super best and a fucking skynet if weRe NoT CareFul. fuck them and their shit.

when this NWR dude posts this generated shitslop it is quite telling how much he cares for the art/medium beyond his "vision" (ew). and how limited his "vision" (ew) is.

here's the thing. all these Kojimas and Miyazakis and Howards wouldn't be where they are today without those hundreds of people actually making their games.

hot damp this title card lettered with Random Dafont Script™ just screams style. fucking prada my ass.

you're probably new here, and have never played any of his hideogames, like metal gear. conceived by hideo kojima, written by hideo kojima, directed by hideo kojima, produced by hideo kojima. dude fucking named the studio after his own ass. "not his fault", riiight.

if you didn't know that the largest flowers on earth smell like rotting flesh, now you do

why is it Waluigi and not Гuigi

i am not a social person. using social media in general is not my thing. using it in the hopes of 0.5% of my "audience" likes my shit enough to support me so i could eat is fucking torture at this point.

all i get from social media is anxiety, and i dont even use it much, i should really delete half the accounts at least you dont need my shit, i dont need this shit

hope it gets worse

before anyone gets offended i don't mind going first

i hope everyone fucking dies

fun fact — chrome was never good

yeah instead of pointing out the absolute mess in the details and shapes lets draw sloppy and imprecise lines as proof

all these datacenters and 2 minutes of ads on a 1 minute videos and piece of shit youtube cant seem to remember all "don't recommend channel" i pressed. and what the shit is this

i wish people disowned the term "smut" altogether, but who am i to wish

🤓

for the record, i don't give a shit about your favourite "influencer". "influencers" is what turned internet into another fucking TV. except worse. "opinion" is not a skill or profession, fuck off.

bitbutt ic v2, ui is more mobile-friendly, also moved to ic.btt.sx

— how do i X? — easy, to X you just Y! — Y doesn't work — that's known issue with Y, try A, B, J, N, Q and P first — Y is not even a thing — Y is in X docs, here's quote! — there's nothing about Y in X docs — you're right, i made that up, try Z — Z is not a thing either — you're right, you should Y

this a test post for my discord bot

i'm sorry but this is absolute dogshit, no indication (aside from a cutoff one) that there are more images and just trash ux on desktop

how many more options i can add and compact while still staying onscreen 🤔

imagine calling yourselves "ethical cloud" and asking for extra monthly payment to "guarantee services availability" 🙄

butt's come an even longer way

thinking about webp, made a js bookmarklet to pick any image on page and save to PNG (if blocked by CORS it'll open the image first and you'll have to click the bookmark again, it saves open images directly): gist.githubusercontent.com/xbost/ca4eb4... to use just add linked script as a bookmark

figured out tailbox.art/bitbutt with all processing off can be used to convert the dreaded webp to plain png. all things considered with "drop/open image and press button" is pretty snappy

another long day in the social anxiety mines

tailbox.art/bitbutt/ version 1.8: with video frame extraction and presets

sadly doing what i'm doing not going to bring money. i'm probably just going to literally die instead. 'cause when you ask of your ~50k followers to support and 1.5 people do — it's kinda hopeless. i guess they're all just gooners i need to do something else before my self-esteem is completely gone

wish i had money. not like to be rich or anything, but i'd like to be able to get a new pc when my 8 year old one gives up. or a new chair. or eat what i want. or take care of my health. or but i guess it just isn't meant to be

something is very wrong when random people can claim videos of a game just because they slopped up a shit AI vocal track over said game OST. Youtube's copyright system (and audio industry's in general) were always shit, but this is goes beyond.

even amazinger new dithering patterns

i learned to never trust screenshots many-many years ago, after finding out that document.designMode exists. you don't need no tools (except browser) to doctor anything. you just do document.designMode = "on" (in console or via javascript: bookmark) and go to town

what does /// mean in "... BEEN /// PART"? also fuck off

dudes be like "i hate AI slop" and then be reposting AI slop with fake moon craters. "you're not immune to propaganda" ©

can't remember where i've seen the post, but it went like "sora fell off when they removed copyrighted content, shows how unimaginative and lacking original thought their users were hohoho". not to defend ai slop but it's been like that since forever, fanart gets more views that "original content"

whatever, forget it. nobody wants to see this either

still struggling to understand is why it adds the same labels if they are already placed. even when more explicit label already exists. like it'll plop a "does not contain nudity" on a post with literal dicks i marked as "sexual activity and erotic nudity".

ehehe

finally got around to do this

think a lot of AI hype comes from code bros, simply because that fancy autocomplete can actually be useful when the result you seek is some discreet code state. and so they honestly believe it is the same for art. and it isn't. imagine if your claude copilot cursor generated compiled bytecode.

since i was a wee lad i was saying that there should be a separate internet for mobile devices. no offense but staring into 4-5-6 inch screen while commuting or something is not conducive to thoughtful participation in them world wide webs. and they didn't and it wasn't and now we're here.
