I'm willing to believe US soldiers would struggle to bow down to the pressure to follow immoral orders. They already volunteered, after all.

This is how I find out about the fic. archiveofourown.org/works/768035...

check out this thread if you would like to help out the people in venezuela. now is not the time to look down on the ways you are powerless, but rather do everything that you are able to right now. we all have a responsibility

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

New Year’s is basically an emergency in NL.

OK so if you're seated facing the direction of travel this is just a bit harsh, but if you were looking for a seat this just kills you instantly by impaling you on the nearest door handle. I mean this is genuinely cool but the framing is "we made a train that kills you instantly" XD

This might sound harsh, and judgmental, but if video is your preferred way of getting information about a topic, you’re a fucking moron

So I feel an inexplicable need to elaborate on why I agree, getting a bit pedantic about it in the process in a way pixelatedboat is probably uninterested in - so apologies for the notification. Also this is my pedantry, and I can't claim pixelatedboat agrees.

Yo, just reminder that if this feels like hyperbole over some email spam then it’s because you thinking it’s about email spam is cope.

friend

Yay for uwuification of fascism I guess.

not really

Meanwhile Calibre added AI slop. NGL this is consistent with Goyal always giving me bad vibes.

It’s clearly not enough, but turns out FSF was right and we should have put everything on AGPL. Though by now it’s clear we should have just locked everything down.

And by the way, training your monster on data produced in part by my own hands, without attribution or compensation. To the others: I apologize to the world at large for my inadvertent, naive if minor role in enabling this assault.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Following bot-tan is crossing the picket line, btw.

Listen to @bloodwork.show.

Least impactful sanctions.

I was too afraid of hair loss.

So apparently Clair Obscur was made with genAI and like, that explains how I felt about it, lmao.

And with that @owlcatgames.bsky.social goes on the steam block list.

From 2024. Apparently missed that the first time around. This just destroys my hype for Dark Heresy. If Rogue Trader was made without AI “helping” the concept art phase, there is zero reason to push it on to Dark Heresy development. I am gutted.

Just casually reminded that Poles love rhyming almost as much as racism (it's from an old-ish Polish song, "you can meet a naked dude, just like on a beach in Mombasa").

Folks is it good when the CEO announces an embarrassed "dodge questions and change nothing" all-hands meeting publicly?

Finally some good representation.

I’m going to star screaming.

Ah yes, hitting girls and other puppies with an immortal post by @egr.bsky.social today.

“Here’s your meal, full of delicious lead” I don’t want it. No thank you. “Well, what about if we just use lead in the cooking process? You can’t even taste the lead in the final meal” I’m leaving. “You’re being childish. Soon everyone will be cooking with lead” have you fucking listened to yourself

This happens all the time in indie games too. A creator, doesn't understand a big part of what brought them their current audience was that they gave them a kind of audience that was starved for that representation and they think, they will wanna just check out whatever we make next and that's a guy

The quotes in here get increasingly wild. They're exactly the sort of "doomerism as marketing" that @edzitron.com has talked about regularly. AI is not "growing neuron clusters like humans" or "experiencing anxiety and fear". It is, however, apparently killing safe spaces for queer folks.

Pay black sex workers!

It's genuinely true that these are delicious but they're really way too much effort to make regularly. I still want to make a stack one of these days, they keep well enough and are really good with eggs and spiced yogurt.

I, for one, welcome RCBG turning itself into a cookbook. I don’t know what people mean by “evil,” these look delicious en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aloo_pa...

My partner's comments on the recent events.

💭 faster cpus are part of the capital's relentless war against labor and compilation speed optimization is scabbing

This family needs your help

Today, I examine how the boundaries of the Nation are co-constituted by race, disability, and sexuality, but also---notably---gender and control over reproduction. And ask everyone to stop saying transfeminism is 'imperialist'. For fuck's sake. Read: taliabhattwrites.substack.com/p/understand...

Male protagonist => no buy.

bsky employees must actually hate this website. that's the only explanation

I mean. They don’t want the make Bluesky, they want to make the AT protocol happen and Bluesky is just like, a demo that got so big it ate the project they actually care about. So yeah.

Yes. If he does it for three years and grows really big boobs he can have a cash reward, even.

Transmedicalism is when I wanted HRT in 2003 and the cis man doctor told me that I wasn't trans because I wore jeans, was able to have intercourse with a cis woman, and didn't respond to his flirting with me He insisted i needed therapy and refused to even put me on the path of maybe qualifying

when andrew tate and nick fuentes say "gay" they mean "effeminate and unmanly." it's effeminate and unmanly to treat your sexual property (wife, children) like a person, but NOT effeminate to have a thing for femboys like fuentes does. hope this helps

Divinity: Original Sin 2 [final] (copy) (3) [final] [draft]

I think I need the four stages of simulation meme for reality tv shows because I think we reached stage 4.

Reasons I'll start speculating about someone's egg status: "cishet men don't make games like that." Cute kittens building a moon base? Fixing biomechs? Like c'mon. Take the estradiol.

All the new otter comics all together. I wanted to give you all a huge THANK YOU—through your engagement and print sales we raised 10k for The Marine Mammal Center. 💙🌊
