I really hate the “I don’t owe anyone anything” mentality because we actually owe each other and this planet a lot. You don’t have to be selfless all the time or burn yourself out but you should be kind and helpful and compassionate to the best of your ability. We need to care about each other more

please deprioritize twitter and use other social media

For those who aren't in my Discord server, I got a new job after months of searching... but it's a retail job. It's absolutely brutal on both my body and my mental health, and I haven't been able to dedicate much time to making videos or streaming.

Trump's big document release tonight, supposedly meant to prove China stole the 2020 election, includes this classified intel graphic making clear that Russia was the only country trying to meddle in American voting systems.

It's not a real TV (it's trifold with a printed image stuck on it, and the Gamecube has an orange sticker placed to make it look like it's turned on), but the IMAGE is real and those kids really did manage to sneak all this onto the ride. Nowadays you'd be convinced it's AI, so god bless 90s teens.

FF14 has the funniest fandom because I am genuinely surprised they changed the Fake Evil Ardbert to Real Ardbert so quickly:

Bought a commission today and the artist told me that I’d basically just paid their bills for the week so always remember that having artists draw porn of your favorite characters is a noble cause

trying to maintain your health in america is so funny right now. don’t order a salad because it will poison you and don’t go outside to touch grass because the air is smoke and the sun is a laser and also stop showering because the data centers you didn’t ask for need all of your city’s water

Portfolio day is imposter syndrome day for some of us - look out for yourself today and remember that your own work only "looks generic" or "boring" because YOU made it, and you're used to the way it looks

Here's how to turn this off!!! (shout out to yarnie!!)

physical media is awesome because you just get to look at big trophy shelves of things you've watched and played and look at other people's trophy shelves, c'mon, what's better than that

also fyi usps is raising shipping prices tomorrow.... so be nice to indie sellers who also have to raise their prices 😔

I found this post from 7 years ago with a near identical photo, so maybe the OP was AI upscaling it? I also found a couple other photos from that TGS on Getty Images, so that setup with the banners (and bags) were real. Fuck AI for creating all this ambiguity. More info in the alt text.

this really was an all-timer comment

The GOP has confirmed Senators Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell will continue their legislative duties as digital versions of themselves. paletteswap.site/different-co...

Try to live a life where you don't get danced on your grave.

Fun Fact: GenAI is still harmful to the environment and economy and is still theft of somebody’s work even if it’s code. Just because it’s not a jpeg, doesn’t mean it isn’t still plagued with genAI’s usual poisonous baggage.

Xbox lost a lawsuit in Brasil after they refused to recover a players profile after they got hacked. Microsoft told them to repurchase the digital games instead. insider-gaming.com/xbox-gamer-w...

I’m not the only one, right? #lordoftherings #lotr

Maybe I'm a bad person but if your new technology predicates its existence on a giant funnel labeled STOLEN WORK feeding into it and you fight tooth and nail to prevent anyone from ever closing that funnel or even slightly slowing the rate you pour into it I think that technology might be bad

Not all art is drawn! Code and text copy is art too. GenAI for any purpose is stealing from creators who didn’t consent to their work in the training set I completely reject the idea that code generation is somehow different If you use an LLM for any part of something you built then you’ve used AI

imagine you're Mitch McConnell and you die alone in your home and nobody cares enough to do anything other than prop your dead body up until they find it convenient to dispose of your remains when I say they all live in a desert of the soul, this is what I mean none of them die mourned

It is ethically and morally reprehensible to use Generative AI instead of commissioning an Artist. If you're an artist looking to make something involving code, *please* don't turn to ChatGPT to generate or debug your code. Put it on GitHub, ask a dev, etc.

Huge event if you are still chipping away at the Unown dex (every letter is spawning via incense)

Steve has been promoted to branch manager for trying his best. Congrats, Steve!!!

for anyone in texas, here’s a web client to bypass the age verification shit here on bluesky: klearsky.pages.dev#/home

If anyone is getting smacked with this - just use deer.social or another alternate client. Bsky is just an AT Protocol Client, and your Bsky account is an AT Protocol account - you can use your same Bsky account thru another AT Protocol Client, no migration or loss necessary. Could not be easier.
