"tee hee i bought 300 of these little teeny tiny easy to lose plastic things that are so cheap i won't worry or even notice where they wind up that will never cause any kind of pollution/litter problem and i am surely the only one doing it thus it cannot have a mass impact" >:') haha.

in light of seeing ppl buying hundreds of small 3d printed cutesy animals bc they're cheap and cute and KNOWING DAMN WELL where those are gonna wind up, just. man, y'all. pls pls pls interrogate your internalization of consumerism and what that means for the world around you i'm BEGGING.

@attie.ai, for those who wanna press the funny buttons too

i promised for posting about controversies less but i think we should probably hold losers accountable for dressing up as literal rapists at furry cons i guess this is something i'm passionate about. all conventions should be a safe space for SA victims. find & ban these people asap.

Finally we're free from CSS [screenshot of some clownshoes javascript manual text layout thing that's worse than something you've been able to do in three lines of CSS since 2004]

If you don't want GitHub Copilot trained on your code, you've been automatically opted in. You have until April 24th to opt out.

baaappyy saturdayyyyy!!

me in 2000: how could "ancient machines" in this story be better than modern machines?? they'd have better technology, knowledge and resources in the modern era due to globalization!! me in 2026: oh.

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

I've said it before and I'll say it again there are better stories about wizards, or mage academies, or chosen ones and Great Old Evils. It is by no means a genre owned or created by that evil slug woman. There are so many better books that explore those concepts WAY better. READ ANOTHER BOOK.

With the HP trailer dropping tomorrow, here's the whole deal: If you watch the show, hell even just the trailer, I will think less of you. I will dislike you. I will think you don't care about trans people. That's it. It's been years. There's no wiggle room. No qualifiers. You care or you don't.

Don’t sleep on the pet toys section for Fursuit props XD LOOK AT HOW CUUUUTE

in nightmare kart the narration text between each level was originally planned on being voiced, but we ended up cutting it for time / resource reasons. because of that, streamers started reading the text aloud in their own voice that they felt best fit the vibe. it was beautiful. theres no excuse.

learning what "vibe coding" is sure did eliminate my impostor syndrome. like at least i know what my code does

getting tired of opening any type of projects I find cool on github, just to see: "This app was coded using Claude" ok bye

I mean, there are so many games that were made cheaply, it's not a budget thing. look at the Henry Stickmin games, or even FNAF, with it's developer voiced phone calls. not even "not having skill" is an excuse; it doesn't have to be done well, it just has to be done. preferably by you.

the #1 way to guarantee I will not touch a game with a 10 foot pole and recommend to everyone I know to also not touch it, is if its made with generative ai.

within the course of 3 years seeing people slip into " I had to use AI, i don't have the money for..." is some wild fucking learned helplessness. You didn't 'need' to use AI. You're just fucking stupid.

"This game uses AI generated voices/imagry because the creators were on a budget" Aww.. I'm on a budget too. I can only afford to play and buy games made by artists and programmers and not theft machines.

Whimsy and silliness

it's monday, and as I try to make myself more resilient to the state of the world and get more work done, I find myself needing help again. I'm trying to avoid losing my car again, so if you find yourself with spare money to toss my way, it would be much appreciated 💚 ko-fi.com/tangle

The latest episode of Philosophy Tube is about conversion therapy, why it’s still legal in the UK, and the ways the British government is implicated in it making it NHS policy. Proud to expose this stuff ✊ youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

"Oh i dont have any budgets, that's why i used AI as placeholder voices, images and musics" ❌WRONG❌ Slay The Spire 2, the MOST anticipated roguelike deckbuilder of the year, uses these silly scribbles as placeholder arts, and they are 1000 times more charming than any slop those will ever produce.

fantastic example of doing voice acting on a budget without resorting to AI

another tux paint ermine

This is why I despise the AI slop machines, it has fundamentally changed how I engage with art and entertainment which I now must meet with skepticism and scrutiny, something I never had to do before, and I resent it.

goodnight, little prince [ #calipyART ]

Day 81/365 Printing on Vintage Hardware. Old Printer, New Parts, New problems, Who would've guessed?

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

people aren't gonna ditch windows bc they want the freedom to swap out their DE or their audio stack or bc they want the ability to switch between x11 and wayland. people are ditching windows bc it's overbloated spyware. give them a cohesive desktop experience w/o that. that's all there is to it.

Dylan M. Taylor, a Senior DevOps Engineer at Credit Genie, pushed age verification PRs to systemd, Ubuntu, & Arch. He collaborated with two Microsoft employees to merge it. Lennart Poettering then personally blocked the revert & allowed the PR through. The surveillance state runs on unpaid simps.

"you said you wanted to install an update but you're obviously working on something so i'm gonna wait" is the only valid way to do this and microsoft has been screwing its users over for a decade or whatever

this thing looks like an unsold nft

Hey game devs, I am begging you. If your game starts with a cutscene, that's totally fine. You've got a story to tell, I get you. But PLEASE let me get to the settings so I can change, among other things, the volume. PLEASE.

The LinkedIn Translator thing is AI btw

this one hurts the most

Card collecting in card game communities has never made sense to me. Like why would you not just want the cards you're going to actually play the game with? "Oh but the rare Fuzzywug Binklebottom was only printed 50 times-" You are a rube and have been played by capitalism

NEW PHILOSOPHY TUBE DROPS TONIGHT 18:30 British time Our biggest episode yet, the spiritual sequel to “I Emailed My Doctor 133 Times” A full investigation into conversion therapy in the UK. This video names names and has big implications for the NHS and government. youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

Day 78/365 Printing on Vintage Hardware. We're back and making up for it... Maybe.

i don't care if adventurer guilds don't make sense if you really think about it, i think they're cool and im putting them in my settings

we did a really fun episode of kill the computer with @agoldman.bsky.social a few months ago before they announced the metaverse was shutting down. caleb went into the metaverse and found what amounted to a ghost town

"I'm a prompt engineer" I sure hope so, otherwise the train is going to be late!

Late night drawing with Flint! 🌌🌃 The best way to spend a Friday night =w= while everyone sleeps Flint’s cuddled up in bed drawing the night away on his tablet hehe :3 #furry #furryart #art #artwork #otter
