SO IT'S A FUCKING FILTER

Nobody wants your fucking slop bro. Literally nobody wants slop dude. When will you AI guys fucking get it through your thick fucking skulls

Making sure that every upper class business traveler has a weekly run-in with ICE is the kind of big brain political move only our guy could come up with

Country that plans to host the world cup in 2 months: We are replacing all airport staff with our most violent high school dropouts

No more matchmaking, it's time to go on the hunt for Lyon! www.twitch.tv/kimeekster

Your patriotic duty is to boo these people out of every public space you find them in. No violence, but they can never be allowed to be comfortable in public again. That is their sentence.

I've said it before: I genuinely consider it a moral imperative that people my age and up bang the drum about what the Internet used to be so those younger know that there's nothing inherent about what it is now. The Internet doesn't have to be this; its culture can and has belonged to people.

As reported in the UK. Barely noticed on this side of the pond

One thing I'd add. As a columnist, I've written a lot about climate change. They are, unfailingly, the least-read pieces I publish. As the journalism business becomes more perilous, there's a real disincentive for ambitious writers to cover arguably the biggest story on the planet

The Constitution protects the acts of naming federal law enforcement agents and documenting how they behave on the streets. Under no circumstances should Congress grant this administration new legal weapons to use against Americans who do either of those things.

A couple of handfuls of the world's richest people are literally orchestrating the collapse of the democratic public sphere, globally, and everyone else is just letting them.

Nothing screams “we’re just winging it” like having to buy oil from Iran while in the middle of a war with Iran.

NVIDIA is the Trump/Musk of videogames. It’s all lies and grift with no accountability - and with total disdain for what’s fair, just and in good taste. I wish Nintendo stop working with them but sadly the world’s most successful game system is powered by this hideous brand.

You deserve people who will stay w/ you when you're not hot, when you're not funny, when you're not rich, when you can do absolutely nothing for them. You deserve relationships that are more than transactional. You deserve to be seen & valued for you, not your "fawn" response.

There's something very unsettling about this

more reliance on AI that, if the last decade is any yardstick, will force devs to spend less time optimizing their own shit and depend more on catch-all tech that is making every game over $60 look basically the same, which is to say crappier all the time.

lots of devs don't seem to like the AI faces either www.wired.com/story/gamers...

LIKE TRULY WHAT A DUMB FUCKING MORON

YEP. YEP YEP YEP YEP. This is it 100% folks. Game dev is a long process and you'll have new ideas along the way that you just have to shelf and go "that's cool, maybe next game". The secret to making games efficiently is to make decisions early and be assertive about them. Then you make the game.

This, this, this! All of this! What you accept being done to others will become acceptable being done to you. That's always how it works.

Get rid of all of them

No. Hell no. Call your reps, tell them to vote NO on the so-called SAVE America Act, TRUMP AMERICA AI, KOSA, KIDS Act, Sunset 230, ASAA, Interstate Obscenity Definition Act and any other First Amendment threatening bills. This is getting old. #Section230 #SaveSpeech

also, my understanding is that the US senate will be voting on the SAVE ACT/ SAVE AMERICA ACT -TOMORROW- (saturday the 20th) so PLEASE call and yell at your reps about that one specifically literally right now

Hey, if youre like me, i know that it's hard to keep track of everything you need to call your reps about right now this isnt exhaustive but here's a script with a check list of issues that demand attention right now. I'll likely be add more later CALL YOUR REPS www.congress.gov/members/find...

one thing you see people say a lot is "republicans don't want to vote for a diet republican" whenever a dem does shit to try to appeal to them, which is true. what often goes unsaid is the other part of that, which is that most democrats also do not *want* to vote for a diet republican either

So Chuck Norris Died. I'm seeing a lot of "RIP" and "Pour one out" But I feel the need to remind you of his extreme far right beliefs. He opposed Same Sex marriage. He was a columnist for the far right WorldNetDaily. He was a "Birther". He wasn't a good guy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_N...

The biggest game of the first round is on Friday, when Long Island battles Arizona for iced tea supremacy

He's also the one who was responsible for Arizona's online age verification aka ID verification law that passed last year. When that law passed, he boasted that could be used to get trans content removed from the internet.

The Republican sponsor of this bill, a former American Ninja Warrior TV star who got himself elected to state congress, is a far right christian nationalist who's sought to get the pride flag removed from the state capital.

HB2133 would require anyone who uploads content that may be "harmful to minors" to obtain govt IDs and consent forms from those depicted. The law would restrict uploading satirical content of politicians and significantly curtail online speech.

A new "kids online safety" law in Arizona would make posting the South Park clip of Trump and Satan having sex illegal, unless the social media user was able to upload Trump's government ID and a consent form from him allowing them to post the clip.

But like all of these "online safety" laws, this law has bipartisan support. Democrats are championing it too. It just passed the house with a super majority and has support from the Governor. If you live in Arizona, call your state senator and make your voice heard & fight back nationally!

We could hire about 30 new teachers in every school in the country and pay their salary for 10 years. Or, we could kill more Iranian kids, American soldiers, and tank the world economy.

Trump appointee options: 1. Go all in, hope for the pardon. 2. Keep your head down, hope nothing happens. 3. Criticize Trump, hope you have a a good lawyer.

The idea of a "metaverse" in science fiction, where people's only interactions with other human beings is through virtual worlds has always been a dystopian one, but idiot tech billionaires just saw cool future tech and didn't comprehend that a metaverse was a warning. Real torment nexus moment.

Someone patched GIMP to look and feel exactly like Adobe Photoshop. Same keyboard shortcuts. Same tool layout. Same everything. It's called PhotoGIMP and it's free.

It's cool how all the little terrors never stop.

Recall how much "how will you pay for that" hand wringing came from conservatives, centrists, and media folks when it involved student debt relief. www.npr.org/2022/09/27/1...
