So... possible legit use for blockchain against AI? Real photographers and videographers document real events and put the media file hash on a blockchain, immutably datestamped to at least prove the file existed at the right time. Reactive after-a-crisis AI slop will not be able to prove existence.

When an entire community declares they would rather have their immigrant neighbors, friends and family than your armed, masked, unidentified thugs, I do not see how you have a mandate to police that community. You are not serving them, nor protecting them.

I need you to know that you can buy individual crabs from LEGO and they are 21¢ each www.lego.com/en-us/pick-a...

More archival rummage, yeah, the re-spriting concept was pretty far along knocking the arcade spriteset down to 4 NESable palettes but pretty far to go rough-packing into the available CHR tilespace (white box). A mapper would def be needed, but I think it could be done.

It sickens me every time someone gets airtime to calmly describe how human beings with civil paperwork violations deserve to be characterized as murderers, dealers, and rapists and brutally taken down without warrant or due process. REAL worst crime should be a slam-dunk warrant in any fair court.

The girlkisser stories will continue until morale. . . actually, wait. Morale already seems pretty high as a result of said girlkissing stories. Well, I guess they'll just continue indefinitely, then.

Sometimes being an author is looking at your finished book like a tarot deck. "Okay, what hidden subtleties about my subconscious did I hide in here? What do I need to learn?"

It's a shame how half-baked the NES port is. I started a PoC years back proving out (in NES assembly) that the maps could look far better and getting a start on the sprites, but then SNK did some rereleases of their own and I decided it was not the best time to touch the IP without permission :P

I can give more of a solid timeline for this now! I will be doing a 2-day Puzzle Game Marathon on GDQ Hotfix! This will be around 2 days of 6 hours each in the month of April (dates to be confirmed soonTM). I am still open to submissions (use passion project as the show you're submitting to)!

Louder for those in back: In America immigrants commit less crime per capita than citizens.

Just like you can track down and arrest violent criminals without arresting and abusing thousands of innocents per, and also murdering innocent citizens.

No donations in several days, and we have a few more small bills and expenses to deal with today. None of it is huge, but they all add up and move us further away from escaping this tent and getting on the train to go help pumpkin! Anything helps reverse the trend! 🙏⚒️💕💸🏳‍⚧♿💜

Using this still from an early 00s health and safety module I once took to sum up my day on bsky.

I shared a few behind-the-scenes photos on my IG from our trailer shoot for The Chaotix Casefiles, check out our silly and very fun process! www.instagram.com/p/DUCTHiZmIh... Now go listen to Episodes 0 and 1! 🐊🦎🐝

A true classic.

'Taxi' and 'cab' essentially mean the same thing, but 'cab' doesn't come from 'taxicab.' It comes from ‘cabriolet,’ which was a type of light carriage. ‘Taxi’ comes from ‘taximeter,’ which is the device that calculates the amount of a fare based on the distance traveled.

Hello everyone. I see I've accidentally made my daily log thread go a bit viral again by writing a poem. Today I wet and reshaped the opening of the ice breaker's holster to make it easier to sheath one-handed. Also check out my SoundCloud (not a SoundCloud):

SEGA's social media team gets very many medals.

Quote “the entire economy now is built on AI… if you could convince...Americans to cancel their ChatGPT or OpenAI accounts and...OpenAI had to announce that their subscriptions had fallen off a cliff, that would ripple into Nvidia [and] Microsoft. And these are the people that Trump cares about.”

Gamers, you've GOTTA play Valkyrie Profile

*Me, once again, trying to get more people on Red Note*: It's great! I've made a lot of new friends.

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

Seriously, as someone whose work blew up in her early 20s it actually kind of sucks, because it meant for years I was famous for some of my weakest stuff! Be patient, accumulate actual experiences, don't fixate on relative and random things like "success."

You won't know yourself, as a comic artist, until you make comics. You won't know what kind of stories you want to tell until you tell different stories. You won't know what your "style" is until you've drawn in different styles. TLDR: make some dang comics and worry about the rest later.

As the ice storm bears down on our tent whatever you can spare will help us prepare as much as possible! Need to get firewood and a power bank or solar panels of some sort... if I can find any still in the city... ANYTHING HELPS!!! 🙏⚒️💕💸🏳‍⚧♿💜

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

This is the World of Ruin. Everyone thought everyone agreed that the clown could not be allowed unlimited godlike power, but everyone was wrong and nobody stopped him and now he's blowing up even the people he used to pay lip-service to.

Anti-Somali smear artist Nick Shirley has been sniffing around Baltimore. Starve his lie machine.

In Pakistan, the CIA went around door-to-door pretending to be giving polio vaccines, while secretly hunting for Osama bin Laden. The result was that real health care workers were ignored or even killed, and hundreds of people got polio, which had otherwise been nearly eradicated worldwide.

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Do not store your Bitlocker encryption keys on Microsoft's servers if your threat model includes governments or law enforcement. As this article points out, this is the result of a design choice Microsoft made. It didn't have to be this way. www.forbes.com/sites/thomas...

I've been reminding myself of this so much recently.

This follows yesterday Tiktok offcially surrending to the US and several behind the scenes deals that made that happen. Now one of the most popular social media apps is tracking your immigration status and precise GPS (and political views. Can't forget that part) and openly sharing that info.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

No my memes, I just stole them.

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed. Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

"Trans people should debate me on why they're allowed to be happy." No. Fuck off. 🥰

Not Galaga. Keep it. I'll keep looking.
