"We will not be bullied into submission": Ubisoft unions call for massive international strike aftermath.site/ubisoft-union-...

day one of our authenticity ouroboros workshop with no context @playfultimemach.bsky.social

Anyone marking Wikipedia's 25th anniversary today can believe it’s an incredible success story for commons-based peer production and that there're aspects of the site that sometimes piss them off. Let's hope it lasts a while longer. My latest for WIRED:

I wonder how many Dutch voters fully realize that what ICE is doing in Minnesota is *exactly* what Wilders (and van der Plas, Baudet, Eerdmans etc) would like to see happen here. It’s a free preview of what far right government actually looks like.

In 2026: Generative AI is not inevitable. You can say no. You can refuse. You can reject the disgusting lukewarm slop that the richest and worst people in the world are trying to force-feed you. You can tell them to eat shit and die mad. You can break the machine

Wrote about the Dutch higher education crisis and why a strike without suspending exams or classes is just cosplay. @jacobinnl.bsky.social jacobin.nl/een-hoger-on...

Helaas is gezichtsbedekking bij demonstraties voor sommige mensen noodzakelijk geworden, toen autoriteiten hen gingen filmen met gezichtsherkenning, om ze te intimideren en 'lastigvallen' www.security.nl/posting/8621... In 2014 waarschuwden we al: piratenpartij.nl/ben-jij-ook-... #Piraten #privacy

thanks Dr. Breen

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

"We hebben decanen, rectoren en collegevoorzitters nodig die zeggen: ‘[...] We hebben eerdere bezuinigingen niet kunnen opvangen door harder te werken, ook niet door onderwijsinnovaties, en we gaan al helemaal niks oplossen met AI.’" www.mareonline.nl/opinie/ga-di...

They should invent a university that prioritizes teaching and research

"one day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this"

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Today marks 15 years since the release of Fallout: New Vegas. Since 2010, players have explored the Mojave Wasteland where countless Couriers have walked the same road—each carving their own story. Thank you for keeping the spirit of the game alive all these years. Viva New Vegas. 🎲

Day 6: MOONLIGHT 🌕 #SuperBatober #Inktober #inktober2025

But when I go into the booth next month to flip the switch again, the switch that to my eyes has produced no light in many years, do not condescend to lecture the faithless on how it is the only way out of a darkness that is deeper than this country has seen in recent memory.

lol

Stay winning 💯💯💯

I know we all love this man, but make sure to genuinely carry his message in your heart: you can always reject a false premise. There are almost always more than two choices.

Het zijn bijzondere tijden als drie voorlieden van drie uiterst rechtse bewegingen die alle drie te liëren zijn aan het verheerlijken van extreem rechtse terreur, gesteund door de Poldertaliban van de SGP, de Project 2025-VVD en FVD-nageboorte JA 21, verzet tegen opkomend fascisme terreur noemen./4

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

What an expertly called shot

referring to metroidvanias as "hollowslop" to simultaneously piss off people who like metroidvanias, people who like hollow knight, people who want a better genre name for "metroidvania", people who are sick of the word slop being misused, and gradius fans who want to see more checkpoint recoveries

Goed, draadje 🧵 (de 🧵 is een dreigement) Omdat mensen weleens vragen 'maar waarom is die politie dan kut?' Hier wat artikelen die ik in de loop der tijd op een lijstje heb gezet Laten we beginnen met: De politie heeft een eigen StaSi dat activisten buiten hun eigen mandaat volgt, het TOOI.

I never thought I would see this in my life, and that they’re making it immediately generic so it’s affordable is making me want to cry

every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing

my new AI powered lamp is trained on millions of lamp interactions so it understands that 50% of chain pulls are to turn it on and the other 50% are to turn it off. and honestly, it's a little spooky how it knows exactly what i want almost half of the time

Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.

Holy shit.

We call them "columnists"

‘In making Palestine Action a proscribed terrorist organisation, the government has added it to a list that includes al-Qaida, the UDA and the neo-Nazi Atomwaffen Division, all of which advocate terror and murder to achieve political ends.’ Huw Lemmey: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

GAME, the German game industry trade association, released this *damn* good statement on the unjust NSFW game takedowns www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

@trampolinetales.com yoooo NL is playing Maze Mice

I thought I noticed Valorie Curry screaming in the direction of the camera in the finale of Superman (2025) but I guess I was wrong (since she's not credited). I'm too faceblind for this stuff.

I always forget Dr. Seuss did political cartoons before kids books!!!
