Videos now autoplay with sound and it's driving me nuts. I don't get why this is a thing. Every time it happens I want to launch the app into the sun.

Remember back in October how Discord's third party suffered a data breach where 70k+ ID photos were leaked? Yeah. Discord can pound sand. discord.com/press-releas...

In light of recent Ai related nonsense in the creative industry, I wanted to present some easy-to-digest facts about Generative Ai

@gog.com Stop using A.I.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Do this if you're in the UK!!!

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

Be sure to leave a glass of milk and Swiss rolls out for the Judge tonight.

DELTARUNE WINTER Newsletter Time! We're sending it out now, but it takes a good while to process hundreds of thousands of emails. Fortunately there's a cheat code to look at it whenever you want. Ha ha ha ha. toby.fangamer.com/newsletters/...

Love a good backtrack 😂 "Intermarché is abandoning the idea of ​​allowing you to pose with its new "mascot" in photo booths; the retailer wants to remain true to its position on not using AI."

the larian stuff sucks to hear a lot. you have to be a true all-timer loser to think generative AI is useful for concepting ideas or artwork. you let the machine do the fun part you dumbass. it doesnt tell me you think efficiently it tells me youre a fuckass who's given up on being interesting

Early Access and the way they managed their community across all their updates helped humanize that team in ways that only helped Baldur’s Gate 3, weird for the studio to be so willing to throw all that goodwill away.

please keep calling your representatives and demanding they oppose censorship/surveillance/Age-verification legislation. please continue to call Paypros and demand they stop discriminating against adult content, its creators, and sex workers please

Trans women has been welcomed at the Women's Institute since the 1970s and one member is in her 80's and has been a member for decades. This is pure bigotry pushed by legal threats backed monetarily by JK Rowling. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

metroid is just a week away

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls. What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

Baldur's Gate 3 has a combat track called Nine Blades. It's in 9/8. When you crit, kill, or gain the numbers advantage in a fight, it transitions to a track called Sixteen Strikes, because you crit the music. Borislav Slavov replied to my tweet about it

Mastercard is bleeding, get in there. Make some calls. Get some cool family members in on it over thanksgiving

So payment processors act all iffy about artists making money from drawing naked consenting adults blowing each other, but in the meantime, they have no qualms financing LITERAL SEX TRAFFICKING RINGS?!

Party tiger 🎉🐯

Hey. This is the BEST POSSIBLE SEASON to badger Visa and Mastercard into fucking off about their shitty fake-moral-panic over LGBTQ+ spending habits and content on retail platforms. Fuck ALL THE WAY OFF, VISA and Mastercard. No one wants to hear jack shit from you. You're a fucking receipt printer.

The disconnected Apple Pencil? The expression sheet with all the same expression? The art with the footsteps in the snow in front of the characters running? The file with one (1) background layer? Erasing the “hand drawn” background by hand on said one (1) layer file? Where do I starttttttt

Censorship is now coming for your dnd and your warhammer and your farming sim, they don't care if it's not adult content. They wanted everything

"The PC should be able to act on your behalf." Absolutely fuck off with that bullshit. Take that wretched thought and shove it so deeply up your own ass a team of highly trained surgeons can never retrieve it. Why would I want my pc acting on hallucinations?

This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again. Literally the least you can do!!

our government sucks so much "we're not allowed to buy legal products and services" "good ^^ a healthy economy is when you can't buy things"

I'm getting really fed up with how shit the backwards compatibility is on the Switch 2. Half of the switch 1 games I bought on Switch 2 suffer from random crashes, and it's so tiring. Why list them as compatible if they're all plagued with these issues. Simply won't buy any more. You can't trust it.

UK Government announcement of additional Online Safety Act regulations, not yet published www.gov.uk/government/n... Note the direction of travel: OSA requirements that currently oblige platforms to proactively "protect" children from content will be extended to protect adults.

ATTENTION BRITAIN! 🇬🇧 The UK now has a petition to STOP CENSORSHIP by MasterCard and VISA of legal products! This joins the Australian and Canadian petitions that are gaining momentum. Come on, let's get these signed! And spread the word! The UK petition: petition.parliament.uk/signatures/1...

This sums up this payment NSFW fiasco pretty well.

“After all, the initiative outright says that the danger of pornography is that it acts as a vector for the ‘transgender ideology.’” If anyone needed evidence that their end goal is the erasure of queer visibility, and possibly even our existence itself, here it is. This is an existential threat.

We really need an equivalent of common carrier laws for all infrastructure. Payment processors should be obligated to process all legal transactions. They shouldn't have any more say in it than my electric company can decide what I'm allowed to plug in.

It would be REALLY funny if Visa suddenly got tips from thousands of people reporting every store that has ever carried an official Star Wars movie. Those are just jam-packed with 'non-consentual mutilation of a person or body part', which is apparently against the rules to distribute.

Fuck censorship. They're coming after you next, whether you make porn or not. I have never sold NSFW services or artwork, yet here's my termination from Stripe! Fully SFW, innocent headshots of furries = adult content. This is what we've been trying to fucking tell y'all this whole month!

"For selected products only, there's Mastercard."

Hey, remember to keep pressuring Paypal too

Collective shout is a convenient scapegoat. The current administration’s considering this one of their objectives to abolish section 230 of the online communication decency act. The section that absolves websites and online programs of being held responsible for user content. More of project2025.

Holy crap! There's an ACTUAL NUMBER for PayPal in this! PayPal is NOTORIOUS for never giving out numbers!!! This is pure gold!

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort. It aired in 1990.

Ofcom says that if you refuse to censor yourself under the Online Safety Act, it will force payment processors and ISPs to stop doing business with you. When the government can't shut you up, the banks and credit cards will. Absolutely terrifying. www.ofcom.org.uk/siteassets/r...

I cannot describe how fucking happy it makes me seeing journalists just pointing out that they're lying. Once again, if you're calling, bringing up these articles as why you're calling is a VERY good idea. Why are they lying? Why are they refusing to process legal transactions?

#SaveSpeech its been a week, and while we cannot let up pressure on making phone calls, we need to start applying pressure elsewhere now as well! PHASE 2: START MAILING PHYSICAL LETTERS imgur: imgur.com/a/3pVupWQ more comprehensive info can be found here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money

This doesn’t mean to stop calling by the way. The execs in those meetings are shifting the levers back ever so slightly so they can see where it is we’ll stop calling. Don’t stop calling.
