reminder for people who run a patreon: their autopilot spammer is due to kick on automatically on sept 30. Disable it here, unless you actually want to spam your patrons with automated sales tactics.

The history of the "white gloves" in cartoons. As usual the answer is racism.

"Bluesky is boring." Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually. When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

Just think - if one million people turned off their wifi for one hour it would save enough electricity to run one ChatGPT data center for ten seconds

It sure would be a shame if that survey was available to anyone who wants to share their thoughts on the matter… patreon.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Now It's time to rock out with the fun gang!!! #Deltarune #Deltarunefanart #Kris #Susie #Ralsei

@alyankovic.bsky.social You should release an album with the artist listed as "Weird A.I." and use some of your older songs with the vocal tracks put through a robot voice filter. (Or even just a single would be funny.)

Facts

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached. They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others. Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further. #UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.

Yeah, please send us emails instead so we can more easily ignore them. CALL CALL CALL

this bsky tweet is lost media now but it's true and important

There is a bill right now in the US trying to pass It would make it illegal for any financial service provider to prohibit or inhibit any legal transaction It's called the "Fair Access to Banking Act, H.R.987 in the House, S.410 in the Senate" Call your representatives if you live in the US !!!!

Whether you like and/or spend money on porn or not is irrelevant, payment processors should not be allowed to decide what you can spend your fucking money on. Paypal has been doing this shit for too long as it is.

Payment processors should not be arbiters of free speech. Support creative freedom. Fight financial censorship. www.change.org/p/tell-maste...

If you have a smartwatch with the green light, thank Spottacus. It’s incalculable how many lives his work has saved- so many people who otherwise wouldn’t have gotten help without alerts from his system. What a legacy. www.pcmag.com/news/your-sm...

If all the disabled, poc, women, and lgbtq inventors/engineers/scientists/artists/writers/activists were banished from history, humans would still be grunting and banging rocks against other rocks.

Piracy "losses" are always, always grossly overestimated. Not every pirate would have bought the game in the first place, in fact it's quite likely most of them wouldn't. Only a small fraction of downloads correlate to an actual missed sale. Most pirates do so because they can't afford the game.

So, we recently added pronouns used for characters into character infoboxes on Deltarune Wiki. We hope this information comes in handy! deltarune.wiki/w/Kris_Dreem...

"Bluesky is dead" Meanwhile on Bluesky:

I finally did some pride art, 🏳️‍⚧️ 🧱

mother fucker cant spell lmao (feat. @dooper.live)

25-ish yrs ago, I was on a pokemon ezboard as Mewtwopointfive. Elsewhere I shortened it to m2pt5, and others shortened that to m2. Someone asked me for something more like an actual name and m2 became Emtu. (Note: I am Emtu__ on Twitch, there is another emtu with 13 underscores, that is a troll.)

It is becoming unbelievably difficult to stay both informed and sane

I kind of get why Youtube blocks comments on "for kids" videos, but what good is preventing them from being added to playlists? (Even private playlists, like favorites!)

I've just found the best hack. Swear in your search request. It's a great way to bypass the AI summary and make your search history look like you're chronically pissed off at everything!

I did it. Twice.

I'm just glad they went with "Switch 2". I was so worried they'd go with "New Switch" because they've done that sort of thing multiple times in the past, and it's just confusing. Actually, I think this is the first time Nintendo has just added a counting number to a new console. (3DS doesn't count)

It wasn't until I heard that word spoken aloud in-game in Skyrim (in a mod, no less [Moonpath to Elsweyr]) that I got the joke. (If it was ever said in Morrowind, well, I never played much of Morrowind, because I played Oblivion first, and I was thoroughly spoiled by quest markers.)

saw this, sharing it here in case anyone needs it.

Sure, lock screens can be fun.
