So this guy was pretty much wrong about everything.

every fucking time

How loosely available is Discord’s age verification ID information if compromising an outsourced support agent can give them access to it?! If it wasn’t clear, I have been very against this from the start. NEVER give your ID to a social media company. Call your reps!

Can’t believe that one Silent Hill Wiki Editor got a position as the Foreskin Czar in the Trump regime.

Nemesis' thighs, reskeet if you agree

Unlimited Home Movies

so many of the small indignities of daily life come from us being denied the ability to tell a rich man in a tech company to fuck off. minesweeper has microtransactions. paid services have ads. the opt out says maybe later. the drive thru is a broken chatbot. your car is an ipad. fuck off! fuck off!

WOW....👀👀👀

Obligatory Jenny Nicholson Tweet

Yeah man this guy totally apologized and would never do anything like declare he fought the woke mob or something after stealing everyone else’s work for a book. Way to turn replies off btw

So the fact the entire book is stolen work is still enough to justify paying him because your editorial standards are non-existent? Yeah not shocked you walked back doing something decent.

"the human centipede of content" holy shit

normal person: i just want a place to hang out with my friends tech weirdo: and shitheads np: no just my friends tw: but what about hearing alternative views on race and gender? np: we just want to hang out and goof around tw: so where do the shitheads fit in then np: no shitheads tw: not following

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors. ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart. ISILDUR: true

Gertie the dinosaur fuckin yeeeets this woolly mammoth in an early animation from the 1910s

The latter is still a problem when you consider they could be owned by Bill Waterson

i think we are going to find out at some point these guys invented cocaine 2 and have been on it all along

its truly remarkable, you have to really take the measure of it and it's almost hard to comprehend it, but the president of the united states is having texas invade illinois and oregon just to make twitter content

Saw the retro achievements thing happening and I cannot stress to everyone enough that having good moderators who remove people acting in bad faith is just a net gain for any community. There are so many subreddits I've followed over the years with no moderation presence and it always makes it worse

Watch it through to the end

I understand the people that make this site have an idea of what it’s supposed to be but it will never be trumped by “place we’re posting because twitter looks like Stormfront now.”

deleting *this* post is such incredible "put it in the paper that i'm not mad" energy—it doesn't even tag Jay. i'm so serious: deeply cooked website

Relevant to recent events, I think

Free block for everyone: guy whose account used to be dedicated to harassing John from Digital Foundry has now pivoted to defending the author of that SNES RPG book at all costs Like, why. You could be doing literally anything else right now

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious" I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge. We know exactly how LLMs work.

rise of the machines

actually our AI programs are like people so its racist to say you don't like them. anyway would you like to buy one

wow I wonder why my entire body was in the air in the first place

anyone who invokes anti- or post-humanism (both things I'm totally fine with) but who focuses their love and defense of the non-human on, for instance, the machine that gives you imperfect answers in a perfectly obeisant tone, and not the non-human things devastated by that machine, can fuck off.

When people say dumb shit like this, it either means that they've never worked hard a day in their lives or they're deeply unwell and unhappy people

Cool Slungus Fact! Slungus

umatober day 3: gold ship

Hmmmmmmmm I see what you're doing there with "more clarity" RA.... First image is the original, 2nd is the bottom part of the edited post. Note how the "all sides" part was removed...

RetroAchievements users caused a collective uproar that got site admins to remove a bigoted rom hack in the time since Jay posted this. It hasn't even been 10 hours.

Just some personal advice here. If you moderate and run a service that has bad actors and bigots, who attack and harass minorities, and do nothing about it, yes people are going to be mad and call out the people who run this. It's not harassment.

sites where the head honcho proved incapable of handling the energy of the plebeian posters without succumbing to a form of madness twitter ✅ bluesky ✅ x, the everything app ✅* facebook ✅ something awful ✅

Good the hate rom is gone. Bad that the only acknowledgment really here is that they did an own goal by linking to it rather than stating new rules to allow it to stay and then not drawing attention to it so they wouldn’t have to get rid of it due to backlash

Hey im running a new social media platform built on decentralisation. Decentralisation is when you have a big thing in the middle that every other thing is connected to right

The brain genius position of “places that ban hate speech are the real Nazi bars, the ones that proudly hang swastikas on the walls and yell slurs are the true welcoming spaces”

pretty floored today by the RetroAchievement's site moderation decision to blast a site-wide announcement loudly re-affirming their commitment to *willingly allowing hate speech romhacks* completely unprompted lol this is sub-hobby drama I know but just. what the fuck dude. absurd unforced error.

HONEY IF IT'S TOO OFFENSIVE FOR THE FORUM HOW IS IT NOT TOO OFFENSIVE FOR THE SITE BREATHTAKING MODERATION ACTIONS GOING ON OVER HERE. FORUM DRAMA LIKE ITS 2013 BABY

ok last one i got muted for stuff like this and tbh hold that i hope you felt bad when you muted it

Archiving hyper racist Klan comic strips with the same energy as Garfield strips is not being "neutral," zero censorship is actually anti-freedom; You've created an environment where I no longer feel safe the N-bomb isn't gonna show up on my feed when I visit your front page. Site sucks. Farewell.

If you aren't already following me on twitch please do, would love to have y'all at the place where I hoot and holler and its fun! twitch.tv/tietuesday I've already dealt with 4+ sinking ship sites so it aint new but here's my plea: please follow a guy with a damn principle or two (me) it helps out
