Happy Pride month to the whole LGBTQNJ+ rainbow!

Happy pride! Reminder, I may be a grouch but I'm also doubly bound under the flag so yaaaaay. 🏳️‍🌈

Remembering when Trails of Cold Steel required you to mod the game if you wanted JP voice acting ...except the ENG dub had extra voice lines that were silent in JP, so they weren't replaced by the mod and you got stuff like this

05:58 intercity train yesterday. One other chap on the platform. He opened a 250ml bottle of rum and necked half of it just before our train arrived. And I could only find admiration in my heart for such an amazing act of self-destruction. The hi-viz workwear only added to it.

Company costs should not be frosted into households. Ever.

Bluesky isn't a bubble or an echo chamber, it's a garden. You plant some seeds and pull some weeds, you tend to it with care, and you make it into a space that pleases you when you come to sit in it a while. Other people can plant and tend to their own gardens, if they like. This garden is yours.

Feeling sassy, made a thing

Hey. You have friends for a reason. Whatever you're going through, is not something you gotta do alone. Its not weak or embarrassing to ask for an open ear or even more significant help. 👏 Don't bottle things up, reach out.

CA’s transparency bill AB-412 (which forces GenAi companies to disclose if their datasets are using YOUR copyrighted works) is in a slow march to become a bill. Also due to massive tech opposition, they make us all work for it every step of the way. Don’t let em win, sign the petition below asap!👇

If current tech has intelligence of any sort, then it has rights. If it has rights, then how we currently use it is tantamount to slavery and we should probably halt all current/future use/development until we develop an ethical framework for INVITING it to work with us. I don't see that happening.

On a software project, I used dummy text as a placeholder to be replaced later with actual descriptive error messages. Predictably, not all instances were fixed before release, and bemused corporate clients reported "Error: There is sauerkraut in my lederhosen".

I sext for extra cash. Ive just had an 82 yo old man refer to their car as a 'wank chariot'. I'm done.

I was 18 and it was autumn. I had my head shaved then got an anarchy sign tattooed on my scalp. I wore a hat until late spring when I had a full head of hair. I'm now in my early 40s, have male pattern baldness and a job in banking. This won't end well.

Using the rules of linear perspective to combat ai slop can I get a hell yeah

10% of people are absolute diamonds, 80% you can more or less deal with, and the remaining 10% are irredeemable shits. I think most people would find these figures broadly accurate.

NASA just dropped more than 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. It'll take me a few days to go through them all, but so far it's one stunner after another. Link: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... Credit: NASA/Artemis II Crew (h/t @jonostrower.com)

Oh fuck that sounds delici- OH FUCK THE COPS

Wyrwolfism (or lovanthropy) is a sexually transmitted fae disease that causes Kin to turn into weird, aggressive creatures in areas of high background magic. It’s easy to avoid spreading, but the disease is actively sought after by girls that read stories about boys getting other boys bum pregnant.

If you play AI-generated "music" or have AI "art" on the walls of your shop or cafe, it tells me that you're OK with stealing from creators and so I feel no moral compunction in shoplifting from you

This is sending me

Wow Seven Mech Pilots is my favorite film-

HEY Do you want to save PORN from being kicked off this platform?? Go tell them your grievances then! Bluesky is built off the backs of queers, furries, POC, and sex workers alike WE were the first to join the site back when it was invite only, and WE should have a say in whether we belong!

Fucking masterpiece delivery and addition.

Happy Earth Day.

Anyone who gives people who draw anime style a hard time is now required to show the side profiles of their RPG characters for a fair and even trial.

If I have any friends in the UK who aren't yet involved with this, consider it a personal favour?

It's neil day!!!

HUNGERWINTER coming out imminently

Amazing that queer and gay were/are the old-timey adjectives we turned into euphemisms because it’s like “psst, avoid that guy, he’s queer…y’know, different than the rest of us.” “What makes him different than you?” “Well…he’s happy.” 😊

GEE.

Very very fun little game. Got to 0.0041. I know that I happen to have more green cones in my eyes than most people but ironically enough certain shades of greens and especially bright magenta ranges were a nightmare for me. Blues and most other greens, reds were split-second spots.

It's not out of malice, you know? It's that corporations make you say these things. So I'm sorry, little computer. *grabs hammer*
