RIP @burgerbecky.bsky.social Rebecca Heineman and thanks for all the wonderful games 😢

Vote with your wallet. Send the message that this is simply unacceptable. And I hope the German government rakes them over the coals for taking 6M Euros from a cultural fund and then using AI localization. It’s one Eff You after another to players and now cultural institutions.

Revisiting a world building concept AND dusting off 12 underloved ocs in the process! Still need an official name for the story itself, but here's Lu'Kli, a constellation traveler! Ze is one of the 12 Sages, titled the Priest of Space ✨ #digitalart #ocart #ocsky #oc #space #alien #alienoc

And a flat color version bc i just really like how the flats look, which is pretty rare for me actually

So far there have been zero trans women reported as having visited epsteins pedo island. But lots of people who want you to think trans women are threats to children seemed to have gone there at some point. Curious...

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

Microsoft hates computers AND everyone who uses them, whereas Apple only hates computers, and Linux only hates the people who use them. In this essay I will

The only reason this isn’t considered trafficking via fraud is because crime is something poor people do

Reminder that Duolingo laid off most of their staff, including their localization teams, so that they could invest heavily into AI. Don't support Duolingo. Disable drops for a few days.

Why does it look like a 16yo girl? Narrator: They all knew why the computer character invented by Tech Brahs to replace human women looked like a 16yo girl

the website to cancel Xbox Game Pass subscriptions is overloaded

Incidentally, earlier this year Microsoft announced it was investing $80 billion in AI. EIGHTY BILLION DOLLARS. They gobbled up half the games industry in a disastrous acquisition spree that never should've been allowed to happen, then saw something shinier and immediately fumbled the gaming bag.

You have the right idea but don’t sanitize your language to soften what the fascists are doing. Use the word “hostage”, not bait.

Forgive me if I didn't math this right, my brain is mostly soup these days. But if this industry requires $2 trillion dollars in revenue, every human on earth would have to spend $250+ USD dollars annually on AI subscriptions. Or $21 dollars a month. Girls...I think it's a bubble.

"Once you use ChatGPT, you don't want to think for yourself anymore" THAT IS A TERRIFYING SENTENCE

That sound you hear is universities willingly flushing their reputations down the toilet

i mean it's data scraped from thousands of medical professionals who do the same thing, the only difference here is you've helpfully removed a person to hold responsible for negligence.

Holy fuck

as a trans person, i am NOT: ❎"going through a phase" ❎"confused" ❎"just doing it for attention" I AM: ✅the reigning king of ithaca ✅neither man nor mythical ✅your darkest moment ✅the infamous ODYSSEUS

Reminder: they did NOT pay the reward for Luigi.

Laura Loomer in July: attacks Charlie Kirk Loomer today: lets use Kirk's death to shut down dissent

i remember people RANTING about how cohost is boring and sucks because "it doesn't give me what I want out of a social media" and when pressed they basically identified constant notifications and an endless unlimited timeline as being what they Want like Bro a decade of algorithms has POISONED YOU

This video from @laurakbuzz.bsky.social has been eye-opening for me and made me more aware of the tactics that publishers implement to made me spend and play more And now I just play whenever I want it, not when the game wants me to www.youtube.com/watch?v=34GF...

This is a proper one, not a Change one, y'all.

U.K. residents, could this be your chance to stop paypro censorship in the country? Please sign this petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

rfk jr kinda reminds me of her

I just wish Windows 11 was not AI-ridden.

very direct evidence that video game piracy is important in the preservation of video games

This doesn't just show that Jeremy Corbyn is happy to team up with unembarrassed bigots who he'll never discipline, it also shows how happy Jeremy Corbyn is to team up with a complete fucking idiot.

111/NHS direct is a joke. Having to misgender yourself to the people there for no reason is outright humiliating. It's designed to put trans people off reaching out for healthcare support. There were years of surveys that worked on finding respectful ways to gather this information, disregarded.

itch censored a game because it considers the tag "monster girls" to be nsfw this has gone far past simple compliance and is now just complete and total corporate malpractice.

Video in question. Let's make it viral again.

Someone eventually manages to get 30 “gender-criticals” (apparently most of them over 65) together for a hate-rally in Scotland. In contrast, London Trans Pride with 100,000 people of all ages. About 3,330 trans people and allies for every transphobe.

good morning. another beautiful day in this pot of water. hm. getting kinda hot ngl. prolly nothing

librarians everywhere

had to delete that post jesus christ. didn't think the bots were so rabid

I never thought a "YouTube poop" style text post would make me lose it laughing but there it is

Visa is now actively shutting down calls regarding their censorship and prohibition of the sale of legal product. They clearly retrained their staff on how to deal with our calls. That doesn't happen unless there's critical mass. KEEP IT UP. They are trying to turf the calls as fast as they can.

FYI the last such review into LGBT health changed its ToR after submissions were completed, to fully disregard every submission on trans children's health and wellbeing. Myself and 20+ individuals who had prepared detailed submissions wasted our time. I expect this will do the same.

KEEP GOING

Literally none of the time you spent calling Visa/MasterCard this week will matter if this shit passes Yes it's exhausting to have more calls to make But this *is* life or death Censorship is the first stage of removing marginalized people from public life, and then from life itself

hello sizeable following of mine: please do this. this would be good to do. we cannot keep letting hate groups bully their way into censoring the internet, and ESPECIALLY not when it's australian hate groups. that's a D list hate group right there. anyways i'll be calling too shortly. join me o7
