Cool, I can't send/receive SMS/MMS messages with iPhone users on my Android devices. Super cool. Thanks, tech overlords, I looked like even more of a shut-in than usual this past week.

For folks who are getting pummeled with negativity and criticism. Two things to hold dear: 1. If you don't trust their advice, you don't trust their criticism. 2. The right to criticize you is earned. Only YOU can give someone that right Don't let people who haven't earned your respect affect you

OneDrive -- which I declined to enable at every possible opportunity -- is now upset that I am using 148% of my storage quota and spamming me with red X icons. Best Windows feature ever!

LRT: This rule was the one reason I've been having second thoughts about joining Art Fight this year. I had seen it before and always considered jumping in, but didn't have enough time to get my references together, haha. And now, well. I guess it depends on the rule!

please consider changing this rule. Tons of artists (beginners, professionals and all in between) rely on 3D models and photos to create artwork with accurate proportions in a short time frame. Art fight encourages a consistent stream of artwork that benefits from these resources. (1/)

Artfights rule about not being able to post art that had some kind of 3d model/photo ref involved in the process is insane to me some of us have aphantasia, there's no visual library up there!!! WE NEED THE REFS TO VISUALIZE AND SEE!!! using/needing references for art shouldnt be punished😡

I can't believe we're going back to this kind of discourse but: Using references isn't cheating Using 3D mannequins and photo references is STANDARD, even for professional artists Shaming people and pushing them to draw exclusively from memory is harmful and can set back people who are learning

I don't love the dozens of currencies available in gacha games. But I do love that I never have to spend any time organizing them -- they just go right into their own little bin. Wish more games would do that. If I liked organizing, I'd probably be doing that in real life instead of playing games.

To expand a little: The reason the Democrats are embracing Platner, didn't embrace Mamdani, won't embrace Piker and won't lift a finger against Trump is the same. They don't believe they have to. Their base and the consultant class has spent years telling them their voters have nowhere else to go.

Not a fan of weekly VS Code updates that are basically "We added chat features that we're sure will be worth a 5° rise in global temperatures 😉" Monthly updates were fine, actually??

I don’t know how people keep forgetting that workers rights were entirely written in blood and the capital class had to be threatened with violence before they agreed to things like 8 hour working days and 2 day weekends.

so AI is supposed to revolutionize every single aspect of the reality as we know it, but it's something we shouldn't rely on for anything serious or important cause it's so fucking unreliable, do I get that right my dude ?

After nearly cancelling Animate and now dark-patterning folks into a 40% price increase, it really seems like Adobe's marketing plan for 2026 is to run face first into obsolescence.

. Despite reservations about the company, we have sometimes worked with queer and trans reporters there to tell stories we thought were important for our community - the same as other outlets. That ends today. Why?
