firefox AI and slop disablers from tumblr for the people from local hero mckitterick. Tried it on my end and the browser is significantly faster now (copy paste-able in the alt text)

I've said for years that Twitter has become nothing but a hate site and a vector for harassment. And now it's a doxxing tool. Get the fuck off of Twitter, now. And pressure the organizations you work with to get off. It's a danger to everyone's safety.

SHORT THAT BABY! 📈 Just announced at the @pcgamer.com Show - Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator. Play the demo on Steam RIGHT NOW! store.steampowered.com/app/3642000/...

still looking for level design work! I can work in Unreal, Unity, and probably whatever in-house engine you'll throw at me. I have worked on DLC for Sniper Elite 5, various community mod projects, and custom maps for TF2 and Half-Life 2. portfolio ➡️ iibo.games

"Meta plans to shift spending from the metaverse to artificial-intelligence wearables" i can't believe anyone who sees that doesn't immediately see it as an excellent reason never to invest in AI

A truly great idea. 10,000 ethical assets freely available. There’s no excuse for resorting to so-called AI with this and the *many* other assets you can use without resorting to laundered plagiarism. Support real artists, not con artists.

lovely words but what about their actions? The HSE put the head of the NGS in charge their trans research. Hillary Cass described the NGS as the 'gold standard' despite being ranked the worst in Europe. They've fluffed on hate speech, gender recognition & no ban on conversion practices yet either.

"girlguides had no choice but to exclude trans people!!! there's no way they could have showed solidarity!! " meanwhile: *actual girlguides volunteers are quitting en mass following the announcement*

Trans women are already at a higher risk of HIV infection than almost any other group of people. Just like Reagan, the Trump administration sees AIDS as a useful tool to eliminate queer and trans people. The fight for trans women in prisons and those with HIV/AIDS has never been more important.

I would've continued to power-use and pay for Duolingo no problem, but their shift to AI was enough to kill any appetite towards ever using it again.

everyone needs to start pirating movies and TV shows again NOW

Ooh, go check out Dare Looks' new game!

Chris Person takes a look at Horses, "the indie game that is too scandalous for either Valve or Epic, is only beyond the pale if you're not familiar with any other art form" (quoted from the article blurb). aftermath.site/horses-indie... At least read this paragraph:

You can make cool stuff. You don't need AI. Give what you make the human touch.

It took a while, but Nuclear Throne Update 100 is out now! (and 50% off on Steam) store.steampowered.com/app/242680/N...

another chosen grifter has gone through the riley gaines industrial complex

Home care workers have been systematically excluded from labor protections, and now we're watching every hard-fought gain erode. They deserve fair pay and benefits, safe working conditions, and respect.

I received an "F" on my dental school paper for writing "the tooth fairy takes 'em while you sleep" and now I'm suing the school for religious discrimination

i fucking love my country of MPLS

Sloppers fuck off. If you can’t do it yourself maybe learn to be happy as the audience www.sonnyross.com/shop/aisucks

I am thankful we did not have these when I was a child. I find them very creepy. I did get coal in my stocking. My mother thought it was hilarious when I cried about the coal.

The moment you understand that gender segregation largely exists in sports to protect the egos of fragile men from the indignity of losing to a woman or to allow women to compete without enduring unwelcoming "No Girls Allowed" spaces in sport then the lie behind "protecting women" becomes apparent.

I was bored last night so I watched an episode of OG Star Trek where they picked up Charlie, a traumatised teenager with godlike abilities who only wants people to love him, but is incapable of doing anything funny or nice, so he just destroys everything in fits of rage to hide his shame, hey Elon

new episode of ill conceived where we talk about the ideology of eugenics, the fraudulence of IQ and the book ‘the bell curve’

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist. No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything. Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine. But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires? No.

Hello!! Sadly this is me? Anyone need a video editor/media artist/motion designer with management experience?

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

FPS FANS: Every week we like to highlight something cool in the indie FPS world - like Total Chaos - the horror Doom mod that has been fully reimagined into a game you can get NOW! FPS DEVS: What have you been up to this week? Show it off!

Reminded by a conversation in a community that I'm part of: If you're forming or moderating a large social group, you NEED to have explicit and accessible policies around harassment and abuse. Social compact is absolutely not enough.

okay um, a long time ago I was going to do a sequel zine to this but I got really busy with a job and other things, so I'm just going to post the best of what I managed, free. These are all based off of actual outfits of hers! I do have a kofi in my bio though if you do feel inclined 😗💋✨ #artpost

I wonder if tech creeps are gonna do what the automotive industry did when they invented the crime of jaywalking to shift the blame for safety issues onto the public

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.

Finished the new battle background for Destiny Spire. I think it turned out pretty cool! #pixelart #gamedev #rpg

Using a dishwasher rather than hand washing can save you nine days of personal time over the course of a year.

It’s so great! And friendly for a fairly novice color worker! I’m not even done with my first and I just ordered yarn for 8 more🤣! ♥️♥️

Two things can be true at the same time: neither charities nor mutual aid groups have the capacity to completely replace SNAP benefits for November, *and* we should still do as much as we can to feed people and save lives.

Not only have I not used generative AI... I don't have to. I can draw, paint, animate, 3D model, code, and research, and I have written five novels and dozens of fanfics, a ttrpg and a skirmish game. It's crazy what you can achieve when you actually bother learning and practising stuff.

Every time YouTube brings up so-called community standards and acts like the arbiter of trust & safety, feel free to remember it’s a platform where Nazis are allowed to say what they please and mentioning the Holocaust by name is considered inappropriate.

sitting from other side of the pond pumping my fist in the air. Do us a solid NYC and get this guy in.

This rules?????

I was on a really great TV show called Ireland AM (wearing a Palestinian resilience necklace and a Palestine pin) and the hosts wanted to talk so much about Palestine we almost forgot to talk about my movie...all things that are unimaginable in the U.S. I love living here 💚

Reminder to vote today if there's an election going on in your area!

It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

Jay is absolutely right and the great thing is there’s one candidate for Mayor in NYC who wants to make free day care happen!

even when far rightwingers are having an extremely positive experience on all fronts they’re still able to hallucinate a situation where they’re the victim
