Youtube UI updated and I hate it. What's with his vista-ass "we made this in MS paint" looking "Totally didn't steal this from the Iphone" UI design?

PLEEEEASE keep calling payment processors genuinely this shit continues to go on behind the scenes even months after sites like itch cave and do some sweeping ban and do a little "oooh we're sowry,," Bullying from a one sided group caused this crackdown on queer spaces, bully those bastards back

#SaveSpeech This new version of Chat Control is apparently being pushed through a backdoor and could possibly be voted on TOMORROW Contact your MP/MEPs and demand that chat control be OPPOSED www.patrick-breyer.de/en/chat-cont...

SEATTLE: If you know someone who lives in Seattle and guess they probably voted for Katie Wilson for Mayor, your contribution to this fight is to text them this information about making sure they voted with their signature on the envelope! TEXT them NOW.

It is so, so important to learn to understand the difference between A Gross Thing That Freaks Me Out, versus A Thing Which Causes Actual Harm In The World because as long as you can't navigate the difference, your disgust is a lever that can be used to manipulate you

this is literally never not accurate

We outnumber them 10 million to one and as soon as we figure that out, there goes their way of life! It was never about minimum wage, it was about keeping the ants in line.

See, look, U.S.A., it's this easy (and should have been done immediately upon the knowledge that these cheats and grifters were STEALING our work)

Education is being routinely degraded because current generations actually learned that "progressive ideas" use to just be the way things were until christianity burned half the world and enslaved the other half. The annoying part is I'm only slightly exaggerating.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

I read a thread about games with terrible UI earlier and this video has been destroying me all day.

I finally got back to drawing again! "C~can someone help, I can't move my fingers anymore"

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down? Federal workers aren’t furloughed. Funding for social services doesn’t dry up. Failure to pass a budget triggers an election. It puts the politicians jobs on the line. They get the budget passed.

Furries, we need to talk about something very important. With Midwest FurFest just a month away, we need to address the elephant in the room For the past few months, ICE, Border Patrol, & other federal agents have been storming throughout the Chicago area, where MFF is located (1/5)

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him And they should, given this is his fault.

I think of this every time I take the car

And the amount of "Just try harder" it takes to force yourself to do anything is physically painful and soul crushing, to the point that there's only so much "just try harder" you can stand before it unironically becomes more tempting to just deck anyone who says that with an entire mailbox.

If the one obstructed doorway in my house gets cleared (finally) maybe I'll be able to make food in the kitchen without being penned in and talked at about everyone's stresses and frustrations. That, or I can start charging by the hour to be the family therapist AS WELL as tech support. >:/

If I had unlimited wishes, wishing every funkopop in existence to be replaced with highly compressed helium isotopes so the people who hoard them are simultaneously concussed, frozen and irradiated would be SURPRISINGLY high on the list. These things are as bad as Minions...

The Funko Pop economy is dying repost to make it die faster

10/10 take. No notes.

As someone who very much used to be in the anti- sphere? Yeah. I'm glad I broke out of that when I did, because holy shit, it's made everything else eye opening. I hope everyone realizes how important it is to step out of that mindset, especially now.

Important reminder that child safety is being dishonestly used to eradicate adult and queer content "We could have a national ban on pornography if we could, right?" theintercept.com/2024/08/16/p...

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

IIRC there were rumours and leaks speaking of a planned delay since earlier this year, but the timing of them announcing it DEFINITELY feels calculated to drown out the news of their union busting bullshit

Chuds with the most vile unattractive personality be like “you need to care about the male loneliness epidemic” right after arguing that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

As a neuroscientist, I’d suggest there is a profound disconnect between what *some* computer scientists think is representative of “intelligence”, cognitive ability, or descriptions of consciousness from some in AI work. LLMs are not how neural systems process information, nor how brains function.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information" They want people to assume this means game info or assets. But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to: 'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

Had a dumb idea to make a game with voicechat, but instead of normal voicechat it listens to your voice, writes it in text, translates it into a custom conlang, then speaks that with TTS instead. Downside: You gotta learn the conlang. Upside: Everyone who plays the game subverts language barriers.

Anyway I hadn't heard anyone talking about this, so I guess I'm gonna talk about it. Spread the word if you're thinking about doing an nsfw KS project, Stripe apparently might pull your funding at literally any step of the process, with zero warning!

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Hey, friendly reminder that Scott Cawthon's donations to the GOP literally contributed to SNAP suspension and you shouldn't buy or stream Five Nights at Freddy's anything.

just fyi bsky has a "rude" posts filter amongst other dubious modes that were set to "hide" for me by default. i had no clue about this. idk and idc what bsky decides is "rude" and i'm setting it to "warn" for now just to see what it's been hiding from me. check yours here➡️ bsky.app/profile/mode...

Whenever I tell people that ADHD is a wildcard, this is what I mean.

BlueSky being BigBrotherSky more and more 9_9 im fuckin rude as shit when it comes to stuff like this, so turn off that stupid ass “mommy wipes my butt for me” rude censor.

I'm glad to see more normies and normie adjacent figures fucking finally talking about the subject, specially by bringing actual sex workers to talk about it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjWU...

Remind people of this fact every fucking day.

There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either. Somebody tell Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg. it’s joe-ver.

BREAKING: In Colorado, Voters approved a ballot measure to raise state income taxes on households earning $300,000 or more in order to fund free meals for all public school students. They voted to raise taxes on the wealthy to pay for free meals for public school students.

Zohran's success will hinge equally on what he is ABLE to do and how effectively he messages to voters when the federal govt of wealthy interests / police, etc in NYC deliberately sabotage things. we've seen this shit in oregon with elites lining up to torpedo progressive measures

Trans rights is a winning platform. Pro immigration is a winning platform. Taxing the rich is a winning platform. Affordable housing is a winning platform. Free childcare is a winning platform. Hating Andrew Cuomo is a winning platform. SOCIALISM IS A WINNING PLATFORM
