🥛Darren Beattie, que queria se encontrar com Bolsonaro e Nunes Marques, foi demitido do primeiro governo Trump por ligações com supremacismo branco nos EUA. Mas agora está de volta na Casa Branca, sob o mesmo presidente, como seu assessor.

As someone who went on the Internet for the first time in the early 90’s, I fucking loved the Internet. It has given so many things in life, and afforded me so many incredible experiences. And to see it, and technology in general where they are today is kinda soul crushing.

Some Tech CEO every day: "You don't get to own things now. I own your refrigerator. If you say mean things about me I will turn off your fridge and spoil all your dairy and eggs and meat. If you don't like it you go to jail." People in my mentions: "Lmao are you REALLY a luddite? smh"

Spending $20 to silence your haters

since patreon, subscribestar, and bsky all hate "a drawing of adults having sex but they don't look happy enough, it's banned for being noncon art" i'm begging artists again to post your art to pillowfort because they use a paypro that doesn't pull this shit and their TOS restrictions are minimal:

I can be trusted as the editor of the gaming section of the UK's biggest technology website @snoozykazoo.com www.techradar.com/gaming/pc-ga...

I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic

can't be emphasised enough that no matter how empty Valve's defense of lootboxes sounds, the lawsuit is also a trojan horse to censor violence in games so it's not a good idea to side with it lol

Spaces for kids have been destroyed or re-worked into stores, adult spaces aren't allowed to be actually "adult" lest we anger the CC companies, and supposedly neutral spaces are full of gambling/porn ads, disinformation, and right-wing pipelines. An internet that is increasingly not for anyone.

the continuing censorship of sexual content on the internet while the elite class still gets to use banks and credit cards when doing horrible things to children makes it obvious it’s about who has the money, power, and control, and not protecting anyone.

Similar phenomenon: NSFW content is incredibly policed from small creators on platforms that will then allow ads that are nearly softcore. NSFW content isn’t censored if it makes money for big corporations, but individuals and small creators have to toe an arbitrary line of what counts as too much.

Not a single day goes by that I'm not driven to the brink of howling madness by: A: Videogames being at their most diverse, creative and overwhelmingly numerous as ever. B: The gaming press being utterly gutted by vulture capitalists, leaving fewer people than ever to try and understand it all.

STOP MAKING LIVE ACTION VERSIONS OF CARTOONS AND GO BACK TO MAKING CARTOON VERSIONS OF LIVE ACTION MOVIES

Hear me out... Univerally praised games are neat enough, but nothing hits quite like something unpopular that speaks to *you*. So show-and-tell: Link and Explain a game that's UNDERRATED (sub-500 user reviews), UNDERRATED (sub 80% score) or BOTH (ideally!) that is near and dear to your heart.

A lot of people knows about Cassete Beasts, BUT just a few bit know about its predecessor: Lenna's Inception. Has great music, 2 modes of playing (32-bit and 8-bit) and its cool af. The world is glitching, and the protag, Lenna, has to take the role of hero... store.steampowered.com/app/1114870/...

Stray Children! It can be frustrating to play, but I couldn’t stop thinking about how it uses that frustration and anti-completionist design to a really interesting thematic end. I’m actually working on a blog about it store.steampowered.com/app/3649490/...

The US govt used AI in war and targeted civilians, Epstein list, everything's expensive, climate change will kill us all But the issue is porn? Step one in accepting your sexuality is realizing the world is a joke and ran by devils, so who cares if you jork it to micky mouse x Goofy, dude

you wanna learn VFX? The VFX school is closing. All their shit is free. Torrent files and everything grab it while you can thevfxschool.com

It's funny seeing how this is news to some people Being Brazilian and LGB-T-, going to the US/GDC has not been safe for me for a VERY long time So.. no ABYSS X ZERO at GDC for the foreseeable future, sorry USians. I really dont want to go through the transphobic visa process or get killed by ICE

You may have forgotten about this but Google is still on track to turn Android into a prison. But you can fight back! Learn how and boost the signal. keepandroidopen.org ↗

fuck off if your website or platform does this

Fun fact: "Cleansing" the fandom isn't going to do shit. Fascists and puritans hate you regardless of what you do. You're not human to them, you're an abomination to humanity to them. They want you dead and they don't care how much you try to appeal to them, so stop with that shit, puritan furs.

#ScottPilgrimEX is 100% funded, developed and published by @tributegames.com. Ubisoft isn't and never was involved. There's no Uplay required. When you buy Scott Pilgrim EX, you help Tribute Games make more cool games! Thank you for your support!

I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

Every bsky staff member keeps talking about how the goal is Nice Social Media but then the second they're even remotely pushed back against for something shitty, and they immediately crash out for multiple days crying about their subhuman userbase.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

"Do not forget it, i can remove you from this transaction" goes so hard

having written about how banning web scrapers from a code forge i host made it usable again and saved ~60€/y in power bill, let me tell you: you cannot fathom the offloaded cost of GenAI on small web hosts. it is a veritable distributed denial of service to the entire web. Every web admin sees it.

Please, PLEASE, be loud about this topic, Android being open is what makes it useful, you own your phone and you should be able to install apps from wherever you wish to, don't let Google tell you what's allowed on the device you payed for! keepandroidopen.org

If leftists do not stand up and put their entire strength into resisting online censorship and surveilance, that's it for us. It's over. We will die in a grave we dug for each other.

"AI" is a program of rooting out every little tiny bit of light in your life and extinguishing it bsky.app/profile/wsst...

Ai is directly responsible for retroid canceling their 12gb emulator. It's fun cuz *every* little hobby is made worse in some measurable way by ai. Regardless of hobby, ai ruins it somehow.

It’s okay to listen to video game soundtracks every day* 🎮🎶 :-) bsky.app/profile/spen...

Por isso eu falo: não interessa com o que o trabalhador vai gastar o tempo dele. O tempo é dele, a existência é dele. O contrário disso é escravagista.

Iji is enduringly legit. Original release in 2008 but got a major update in 2021 adding a whole second set of weapons for non-lethal play. www.remargames.se/iji.php

and this is why it is so beyond important that we do not take that fucking bait. do not, ever, ever ever go in on this. This business model cannot be rewarded. Do not ever do remote computing. I'm so serious. Do not do it! use a fucking potato computer if you have to! DON'T REMOTE COMPUTE EVER

I say this as a professional who came up from fan translation and has friends at Sega who will likely never get to work on this officially: when you fan translate ANYTHING that was previously untranslated, you have a deep, heavy responsibility in setting people's first and typically only impression.

então vão usar recurso do país, não vai gerar emprego e ainda não vai pagar imposto? quer cuzinho raspado também?

Essa merda dessa bolha vai estourar antes de sequer a construção dos data centers terminarem (se pá antes de começar)

I expanded a bit on this meme

CW: transphobia. See, this is why it can be painful to know too much history.🫤 This post implies that what is happening in Kansas is *similar* to what the nazis did. But it's not just similar. It's *identical*. In 1933, nazis revoked trans people's documents. Before 1938. Paragraph 175 and 183.

Quando Jairzinho da Papuda se elegeu, o fez xingando negros, homossexuais, mulheres. Nenhum desses comentaristas de política dos grandes jornais escreveu coluna dizendo que ele deveria pedir desculpas se quisesse ganhar a eleição - era só o jeitinho dele, depois as instituições o freiariam.
