Literally the easiest boycott in the world, just buy indie titles or spend 5 minutes googling a game dev/publisher to see if they're owned by Microsoft. That's it, that's all the effort it takes to start boycotting Microsoft. From there going to Linux is extremely easy and hurts them even more.

Knight Styrix head, lenses and legs done. Slowly working my way around this beast and bringing each piece up to scratch. #paintingminiatures #tabletopgames #tabletop #miniaturepainting #warhammer #warhammer40k #warhammer30k #styrix#spacemarines #knightstyrix #scale75 #p3paints #knight

Hegseth is fantasizing about being a Nazi defending Normandy from the Allies. Just a shame he won't be joining them as a skeleton in the mud.

To be fair... It's a time honored American tradition to erase and rewrite national history to hide the horrific shit white America has done since the 1600s

Unlimited solidarity to the workers, this is fucking awesome.

My cohort of femme space marines is coming along very nicely.

Woooo MONSTER HUNTER WAS THAT LAO-SHAN LUNG?!?!

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Realising I should have done transfers much earlier in the process BUT we live and learn. (Hangin on the edge of tomorrow) A few smaller details, highlighting the gold, and then getting the grime on to go. #Nerdlings #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity

FINALLY painting up one of my favourite parts of all 40k lore, the Thunder Warriors! Ive been looking for an excuse to paint em up for ages, maybe a lil lore/painting vid soon? Anyways here is a rare WIP! Lots of metallics lots of suffering 🫠 #warhammer #warhammer40k #wh40k #warhammercommunity

AI evangelists will scream and cry that nobody ever takes their arguments in favor of generated AI imagery seriously, and call you a "gatekeeper" for telling them to just pick up a fucking pencil, and then refuse to respond if you do give them a genuine reply. They're unserious children.

up to no good for this years pride mini #miniaturepainting #prideonparade

The White Scars Chaplain is completed. Really fun project, plenty of NMM and came out looking pretty good. #warhammer #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #warhammer30k #whitescars #assault #spacemarines #primaris #chaplain #paintingminiatures #miniaturepainting #p3paints #akinteractive

Started painting a bust for the first time ever. No idea what I'm doing, but it's been fun so far! #nerdlings #miniatures

The majority of art forms are already available to more people without even needing a screen or input device. Clay, paint, pencils, markers, canvas, paper, leather, thread, fabric, foam, putty, beads, string, etc. The only form AI generation takes is digital output; exactly 1 form, no more.

Comparing a computer algorithm being distrusted or hated to human bigotry and discrimination is extremely disingenuous. Nobody is commiting genocide because they don't like ChatGPT, nobody is banning Anthropic from bathrooms. You made a whole thread about logic and ended on this? Really?

The difference between AI generated imagery and actual art is that an actual person creates every single aspect of the art. It isn't an amalgam of training data spit out according to instructions, it's a physical embodiment of their effort and learned skill put into the world.

How much of a shithead do you have to be to quote an artist's work and claim "actually AI could do this by stealing your picture"?

Chronicles was produced in a time when The Matrix sequels and Lord of the Rings were the biggest things on the planet, Vin Diesel just came off Fast and the Furious and Universal wanted in on the sci-fi and fantasy boom, and they basically got cut a blank cheque to make this ridiculous movie!

Let me just say this plainly. If someone thinks being transgender is “morally wrong,” they are an immoral monster who should not trusted with anything. They are admitting they have no idea how morality works.

The drop was driven almost entirely by a cratering of support within the Republican party by 21 points. 2022 was the inflection point when this decline started. It's now lower than it was in 2012 before President Obama publicly supported marriage equality.

The drop in support for marriage equality last year was not a blip, it has declined further, dropping 6 points from its high of 71. Whether or not gay or lesbian relations were "morally acceptable" dropped 9 points. Support for LGBTQ rights broadly is diminishing. news.gallup.com/poll/710810/...

Executives are the dumbest people alive and need to be clubbed with sacks of oranges. Surely nothing will go wrong with this plan. Asked some RN and MD coworkers what they thought and I could see the light literally drain from their eyes. www.kaaltv.com/news/mayo-cl...

2/2 More photos of my embroidered beach scene! The small dots are people (they would likely not be visible on reality but it adds some more life to the landscape)

Holkham beach, Norfolk - I was commissioned by someone to replicate this beautiful beach and all its shades and textures as an aerial embroidery! Lots of grasses, reeds and mud mixed in with the sand. Not sure if the tide in coming on or going out though... More close-ups are in the thread: 1/2
