reminder that this funds a raging bigot who is actively contributing to the deaths of trans people, and a cumulatively horrific sociopolitical atmosphere for gender non-conforming people in her home country and if you aren't from the UK, trust me when I say this is not an exaggeration

"One day, everyone will have always been against this" Poster spotted in Toronto, Canada

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

My parents better live forever I love them too much

so much of this decade condensed into one tweet

This clearly was not made for game developers. It was made for nvidia's fantasy that ai will destroy everything we love today in service of its creators and their shareholders.

oh thank god i was worried games had too much intentional character design instead of making them look like fake Instagram profiles. This will surely usher in the next generation of me wondering if I will taste good for the maggots

big ooof

I know DF are idiots at the best of times but what the fuck actually is this, can we finally be done with this clown show of an nvidia marketing dept please

I TOLD YOU BRO!!!! I FUCKING WARNED YOU!!!!! AI UPSCALING IS EVIL. SHOULD'VE KNOWN THEY'D MAKE IT A GAMERGATE FILTER

Still haven't forgiven phones for removing the headphone jack, and I love the idea of holding onto it as some kind of key milestone in our technology not being for us

Pokémon Go players thought they were catching Pikachus. They were actually building the nervous system for robot civilization. 500M humans. 30B images. Zero consent forms. The game was the harvest.

www.reddit.com/r/linux/s/jf... Mega thread on who is behind these age verification laws, spoiler alert it’s Meta.

This continues to be true as well. The only thing keeping corpos from trying to monetize and control the fuck out of the fandom is all the weird shit in it. Support your weird friends. You don't have to click on their FA page my dudes.

Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the drivers’ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives If Brits think “it won’t happen here” think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!

People support those with disabilities, learning difficulties and mental health. Until it’s an inconvenience. Be better.

lot of negativity towards AI lately, but consider : are these tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No. *but* do they enable great things that people want? Also no. *but* are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no. maybe you're not being negative *enough*

Curmudgeonly elder people (millennials) are always harping on about how good the internet used to be -- It was never perfect but we never had apps on the phone with us at all times that were doing business with surveillance moguls Cancel your nitro, it's about time we find an alternative anyway

and, I can’t believe I have to say that: queer kids need online community, because they are far more likely to be isolated, get bullied and harassed in real life, so isolating them even more is -not protecting them-. this is also -the point of age verification-.

idk they raise a good point

Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”

Harry Potter fan in 2026: yes the author is a Nazi with ties to Jeffrey Epstein but I don't see any of that when I buy my annual wand at the Wizarding World in Florida

maybe this time we can finally internalize that anyone who whines about stuff like “sjws” or “wokeness” is either doing so because they have fucked up motives or because they listen to too many people who do

Man at this point I just wish it was shape shifting lizards, that'd honestly be less ridiculous

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles. "The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.

IT BEGINS

Lots of leadership loves talking about iteration and being agile, but when you need to put effort into making workflows fast, suddenly there’s no time available. The cure is simple: Sit behind someone who is actually doing the work. If their tools are bad you’ll get frustrated in minutes.

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.

This is in service of ai data centers, when none of them are profitable and Microsoft said it can't convince anyone to use this shit. A huge investment in a technology that's clearly not finding a market for itself. Goes to show the ultra rich don't know what they're doing and never did

🇬🇧✊🌀 Ubisoft : enough is enough! Faced with the arbitrary decision of the CEO who doesn’t even dare talking to employees anymore, unions are calling for a strike on February 10th, 11th and 12th.

I and many others predicted this long ago. VPNs now headed for UK age gating. Amendment 94a is also massive, given its potential scope. reclaimthenet.org/uk-house-of-...

Ivy Pinup - Singing A pinup based on a voting I did back in july 2024 for my Patreon. Of course, Ivy didn't sing in the comic (as much as I remember), but I think she could :p (there was a nude version in the patreon archive >:3)

This is the constant Faustian bargain with social media. You are not the consumer, you are the product. Any social media comes with risks and tradeoffs around this shit, but American controlled apps are -rife- with this shit. It’s not just TikTok. GDPR here offers some protection, but not enough.

This is surely nothing to do with all of the spare hardware amazon will have when AI pops, right?

People were able to force this change not by voting with their wallet but by being really annoying. Being annoying actually works.

Good intentions.

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

money isn't real. billionaires only have power because we pretend their money means anything. because we let them gatekeep food and housing for it. if we stop pretending their ill gotten gains are worth anything, then their capitalist war machine will stop and we'll finally be able to live.

The destructive juggernaut of Black Friday reminds us why we should resist the advertising industry Co-founder of Adblock Bristol, Robbie Gillet, reminds us of the true cost behind Amazon’s Black Friday, and how advertising shits in your head.

i don't want to do another year...

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...
