ai, didn't read. brilliant. #artificialintelligence #AI

If y'all move off the current Massive American Corporation chat thing to A Different Massive American Corporation chat thing I swear to fucking god

So it's not just that Discord is requiring pictures or IDs to verify age. They're also going to be running AI against everything you do on there to "infer" your age... So make sure you "type old". > Additionally, Discord will implement its age inference model, a new system that runs in the […]

I know there is a lot of hate for #matrix around here, but I do still consider it the least bad option as a #discord alternative. It's *far* from perfect, but it's enough to keep my community afloat, with the features we need, without the risk of being locked into yet another corporate […]

Hoooooooooly crap I'm glad I'm not an #adobe user today. Still cannot fathom how anyone trusts this company anymore.

Finally playing with the new inverse kinematics support in #Godot 4.6. Unfortunately, it seems that pole targets are only supported for two-bone IK! So that won't work for elbow joints in #SnekStudio (my open-source #VTuber software) because VTuber model arms tend […] [Original post on vt.social]

Morning art stream results! I like robot girls. #art #mastoart #lgbtq #robotgirl #yuri

The charity stream yesterday went wonderfully! We set the goal at $1,024 and blew past it! With the matching donation I promised we raised a total of $2,319 for Trans Lifeline! Next time we will probably pick something a little lighter than Going Down, but it was kinda fun just how mean the […]

I'm going live with a charity stream to celebrate my 4th streamiversary. We're going to be playing Doom with Hideous Destructor on the Going Down mapset, using a mod that I made that hooks charitable donations into in-game events! The charity stream is going live right now! […]

Tomorrow (1/16) is my FOUR YEAR streamiversary! We're going to celebrate with another co-op Doom charity stream like we did back for the 30th anniversary of Doom's release. This time the charity is going to be Trans Lifeline, and we added some new charity redeems you can subject us to, like […]

Morning art stream results! Drew a mech pilot. #art #mastoart #catgirl

I have added an anaglyph stereo 3D module to #snekstudio, my open-source #vtuber software. Now stay still while @JunkRaven gives you headpats. This will only hurt a little. #vtuberen #godot

Did some fun comparisons on-stream today with my new #Commodore . I got a real 6581R3 SID chip installed in my #Commore64Ultimate , and was able to record some comparisons between it and the emulated version by toggling it on and off. Real chip on top, emulated […] [Original post on vt.social]

Morning art stream results! Drew a #mech pilot! This one took a LOT of hours to finish, and I'm ready to go back to doing some dev streams for a bit now. Originally inspired by #girlframe . #art #mastoart #mecha

You should play Outer Wilds.

Yesterday was... Eventful. The wind and rain knocked out power the night before. Basement started taking on water again. We even found a new leak that we weren't aware of before. The trees outside lost a lot of big branches and one of the neighbor's big plants got fully uprooted. It was […]

All my homies say Fuck The Game Awards, GenAI Sucks, and Trans rights.

Morning art stream results! I drew my oldgen character for an upcoming #girlframe campaign. A grumpy older girl tired of losing teammates, ready to put someone in their place to keep them alive. Her frame is a DoctorDoctor Mk II. For now, anyway. #art #mastoart #ttrpg

I think my ideal gender presentation is "femme, but would still beat you in a fight".

I'm not "device hoarding" I'm just "saving up to afford healthcare".

Morning art stream results! Drew another #robotgirl . Trying to branch out from the design elements I've been using like the ones on @JunkRaven . (JunkRaven art, for reference: https://vt.social/@ExpiredPopsicle/112871101986965065 ). Less synthetic muscle fibers […] [Original post on vt.social]

Steam Deck shell conversion complete! Did the whole conversion on stream yesterday, taking about 6.5 hours! But just look at it. c.c Grueling process, but the results are heckin gorgeous. #steamdeck

#cloudflare down again? Probably a bug introduced from vibe coding their backend.

Morning art stream results! I drew @virtually_char , the extremely cool forest dragon VTuber who does 3D modeling work on her Twitch streams! I recommend checking her out if you don't already follow her! #art #mastoart #vtuber #vtuberen

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

You should have to learn how to mod Skyrim and Doom as part of any CS program. Not just create basic mods, but also how to make a complicated setup.

"Must have been vibe-coded" is going to be my response to every high-profile bug, glitch, or other software issue going forward.

Morning art-stream results! Felt like doing some more #poly #yuri stuff. Getting better at drawing the scenery! Still terrible at drawing hands. #art #mastoart #lgbtq

Everyone wins! #alttext #accessibility

Spanking new AI slop report on #curl received and another reported banned: https://hackerone.com/reports/3392174

Morning art stream results! This started off as a little on-stream demo of the Blender Layer plugin for #Blender and #Krita , where I posed a simple mannequin (my own model) with a couple of blocks, set a camera position, and then painted over it in Krita to make […] [Original post on vt.social]

Looks like we may have an influx of new people on the Fediverse after that mess on Bluesky. Be kind to them. Adapting to the technical and social aspects of Fedi can take some time.

Morning art stream results! No gay robots this time, but gay stuff inside giant robots? We can do that. The veteran-pilot-turned-mech-mechanic has some "tips" for the newbie pilot. (The "tip" is where they're going on a date after the mission.) #art #mastoart #lgbtqia #yuri

Morning art stream results! More gay robots. Not as happy with how this one turned out as the last one, but we spent about twice as long on the last one, so it seems to really just come down to a matter of taking my time to get the quality I want. #robotgirl #lgbtqia #art #mastoart

Morning art stream results! Some regularly scheduled maintenance for the robot girlfriend. #robotgirl #art #mastoart #lgbtq

I'm pretty sure, it is not a new idea, but as I was waiting for the bus, it suddenly struck me: LLMs (falsely called "ai") are a cargo cult. Some people dropped a few boxes with apparently magic qualities on this planet, and we're increasingly rebuilding all our civilisation around them.

I've changed my username on #twitch ! My stream is now at https://twitch.tv/KiriArtemisVT ! (This has been coming for a long time. Finally bit the bullet.)

The number of times I say "xkcd standards comic" as a *verb* is mildly concerning. I'm Darmoking pretty hard with that one.

[mental health, physical injury, death, venting] On Friday I sustained a minor concussion, and this morning around 4am I woke up bawling my eyes out because I had a dream where my best friend was still alive. Not been a super great time.

Drew some poly stuff for #pridemonth Neglected to post it earlier. Cute throuple art melts my heart, so I need to draw more of it. #polyam #lgbtq #art #mastoart #pride

Hi I drew a thing. Also, I like robot girls. #art #mastoart #robotgirl

Morning art stream stuff! Happy Mermay! #art #mastoart #mermay #mermaid #lgbtq #trans
