"get more orbs with nitro" what the fuck is an orb. what is going on with discord. why does anyone need more orbs. why does anyone pay for nitro. stop giving me fucking popup ads inside my chat client. i'm going to fucking scream

this is an astounding way to refer to an adaptation of Neuromancer. incredible headline work if your goal is to send a bunch of thirtysomethings on a rage spiral.

Hey all, I'm planning out my year and I'll have some availability in the mid-late fall for game audio work if people are in need! Feel free to shoot me a DM or reach out via my website- I compose, handle technical sound design, and am super comfy with Unity and version control :) lexfeathers.ca

whole thread is good, but this point: i left my code job partly because everyone around me was drilling -this- into my head. the industry treats code as a black box that meets spec: to survive in that industry is to internalize this feeling. that’s a huge shame but also part of why we’re here now

Imagine being a coder but thinking there's no artistry to writing code. What an empty existence

i decided to be less shy about it, in the spirit of the day

i've got a full copy of 2022 wikipedia on my server Just In Case (archive.org/download/wik...), but i'm glad to see there's an active cleanup effort to undo some of the damage done in the past few years (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...)

This is the best product review I’ve read: samhenri.gold/blog/2026031... It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in the MacBook Neo or not; this is the kind of essay that makes you think about the potential of technology and the joys of exploration.

Reminder that pinning an image-only feed is peak. People tend to say what annoys them, but show what they enjoy. So vibes are always better. It also makes interacting with art/cool things way easier. And its helped me be online more without flooding my brain with the bad. bsky.app/profile/why....

i already owned everything in here, so all i could do was like all of the posts, but you should buy lex's music

happy bandcamp friday! my newest track, eris, is a dreamy and nostalgic once-love letter to a woman i would absolutely have allowed to ruin my life. #bandcampfriday #musician #noAI

Finally launched a bandcamp page this bandcamp friday. Please enjoy this li'l prog instrumental i cooked up this past month! let me know what you think, if you're feeling spicy. Cover art by yours truly also feel free to spread it around! c: #BandcampFriday

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

increasingly feeling like the biggest bullet i’ve ever dodged in my life was pivoting from my web development career in 2023

I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link. DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS. This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it! Stay frosty, friends.

Duckduckgo has a survey for pro/anti-AI and I cackled so hard at the (current) results https://voteyesornoai.com

if you havent cancelled spotify yet and this isnt the final nail in the coffin for you, i really dont know what else to say other than i hope some introspection finds you soon

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis. #iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls

As someone who likes to support artists on Bandcamp, this just made my morning.

my only sappy thing to say about GDQ is that the last however many years have tried their best to convince the world that ppl like me should not exist and sometimes you wonder if we really are on a downfall but GDQ comes around saying trans rights all day all week raising millions and millions

IBM's "A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision" was from 1979. That was 47 years ago. That was before AOL, the Macarena, and Google. Half a century ago it was considered obvious that CEO's would deflect blame from themselves onto "AI"

I hope this year is filled with many moments I'm glad to be alive for.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

"Oh my godddd okay so you don't like genAI because it steals from artists, makes processes slower, creates more work for underpaid employees, is supported by data centers that are poisoning Black communities, doesn't even look good, and no one asked for it, but do you have to be so MEAN about it"

i haven’t touched photoshop since cs2. i know where every tool is in gimp and can wrangle a lot of capability out of it. whenever i use affinity photo it takes me about a quarter as much time to get whatever i needed done, and that’s without the familiarity. don’t recommend gimp to professionals.

My partner @little-bat.rocks also released a new song today! I really like it- I'm biased though (I did some production, backing vox and guitars on it c:) little-bat.bandcamp.com/track/shadows

My new song "Faltering Stair" is out now! Happy #bandcampfriday :) voidfemmes.bandcamp.com/track/falter...

With a new single release on simmer, I also want to take a moment to shamelessly promote my alternative rock band Waxlimbs. We have a tonne of music I'm so proud of, and it's all on bandcamp: https://waxlimbs.bandcamp.com/ #bandcampfriday

For reasons too complex to explain here, I wrote an Apple II program designed for Early Modern Age Catholics to determine if they're allowed to have sex with their wife, or if it'd be a sin. Here's the video of it running.

I think Bluesky could still be saved. Won't be, but could. They should hire me as Head of Comms. I could fix her (Jay) azhdarchid.com/jay-graber-c...

looking into the article, important part to it is this was initiated by italian unions, making it possible to organize such action at all. which reinforces for what and why such union restrictions exist in america. keeping labor down doesn't just generate wealth, it also suppresses other movements.

It’s so annoying that we all have to just continually point out how rules around/between decorum and violation are applied asymmetrically to vulnerable groups versus the people who are always hassling them, and it’s extra insulting that the people in charge are trying to lol it away.

It's Bandcamp Friday! Things are hard right now but if you're perusing, my records are real fun :) waxlimbs.bandcamp.com voidfemmes.bandcamp.com

After tens of thousands of streams, we’re leaving Spotify. Here’s why. Thank you and we love you. (IG has the full text in caption)

Does anyone else notice a thing where someone's like "yeah I've had the weirdest random illness all week, it's just like—" and then they describe exactly the symptoms of COVID-19
