My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

"This use of GenAI is fine because VAs signed contracts to relinquish their rights". Well yeah, have you seen what happens to those who don't want to sign off on this? Can you really call that consent when the alternative is losing (or never getting) a job?

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips. If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!

Found this on TikTok and it made me emotional ❤️ Artists create universes from nothing. Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

If we go on strike, our union of 12,000 workers are calling on customers to NOT BUY STARBUCKS. Sign our pledge to not cross a picket line and we'll send you local calls to action - nocontractnocoffee.org

This story is infinitely more important than GTA getting delayed. Don't let me catch you moaning about waiting longer for a video game if you're not mad about why it happened.

Hey everyone, here's a real simple way to disable "Super Resolution" on your channels: • YouTube Studio • Settings • Channel • Advanced settings • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance visual quality" • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance audio quality"

Don't forget this hot garbage they tried to sneakily roll out the other week Settings > Upload defaults > Advanced settings > ❌ Allow automatic dubbing

PSA for everyone going to protests

if you have democrat rep/senators i recommend calling and reminding them you will never vote for them again if they bend the knee on this. shutting down the government is the correct choice. that is the exact phrasing in my 3 calls and it took 5 min total bsky.app/profile/pink...

IMPORTANT PSA: You will NOT see posts from non English speaking artists if your content language is set to English! Make sure it's *unset*!!! If you're following Chinese artists or whatever and wonder why their posts never show up on your feed this is why!

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

ESTO.

Stop complying in advance.

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

No one would be confused about what is happening here if they saw it in another country.

‼️Stop Payment Processors enacting censorship, SHARE THESE, I know you can bump those numbers up! Canada has only 7.5k signatures: ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... UK has only 5k signatures: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73... Australia (has only 4k signatures): www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

In addition to all the other Youtube fuckery, I just got an email saying "Auto-Dubbing" will now be on by default You can turn it off by going into Studio, Settings, Upload Defaults, Advanced Settings, and then turn it off It will then ask why you're turning it off. Don't hold back, let them know.

We should have a Bluesky main character of the day that everyone is nice to, just pick someone and shower them with appreciation.

Can't find a single thing wrong with this...

If you're an indie developer, you should hang this screenshot on your wall and use it as inspiration to never give up

this is nightmarish and should alarm you no matter what your opinions on pornography are

this daisy outfit is SO cute i love herrr

in the face of mississippians being fucked by their government, it seems like a good time for a reminder that cutting people off from each other has been on the roadmap for a while—since 2023 at least and it’s partly bipartisan! very much not a thing you should just shrug about! ⬇️🧵

It's been a long time since I've drawn regularly, so here is a quick lil guy to help me readjust before jumping into some projects I want to tackle.

My power bill went up 10% this month because companies are foisting off the extra costs of running AI data centers onto customers but sure, let's all applaud the anti homeless transphobe for using it to make fun of Trump because that's all normies care about

Reminder: If Visa and Mastercard are allowed to limit what games you buy, there's nothing stopping them from limiting what food you buy, where you buy your clothes, what services you're allowed to pay for, and more. This is a fight for your freedom to spend your money on your terms. Keep calling!

This concept was introduced to me as "run the dishwasher twice" and was an important part of my executive functioning recovery as well as my path to self-acceptance.

mucho texto i know but i wanted to write a lil thing about how u can treat yourself nice!!

Kim Davis going from "my religious beliefs demand that I don't facilitate a same-sex marriages" to "my religious beliefs demand that there are NO same-sex marriages anywhere" *should* make Democrats realize there is no "sincere" compromise with bigots on trans issues.

THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO STOP!! We are winning, but we have not won fully!!! Keep calling!! stop-paypros.neocities.org

Can't believe people don't get this; but the reason this payment processor shit has to be all or nothing is because once these freaks establish a line on what fiction is or isn't okay the line will only move further and further in. You have to fight against the line entirely.

Stripe crossed a line now. Call up whatever local LGBT organizations exist in your area, gay activist groups, gay bars, pride organizing committees, folks who schedule drag shows, queer church groups, everyone. Also libraries and bookstores. Show up in person to talk to any business using Stripe.

Keep calling. This issue can't die. It starts with delisting games, but the likely goal is to enact a new morality police that can silence marginal groups and anyone who speaks out against the status quo. The payment processors are feeling the squeeze! Let your voice be heard!

Ever wanted to play Half Life 2 with Hat in Time movement, try out this demo by Gordon Freakman!

@snapcube.gay @dollip.bsky.social @markatoto.com Not a mod, but I couldn't resist

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away. So don't let it go away. Keep it going. In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

A reminder not to let the National Center On Sexual Exploitation's official-sounding name fool you: they're the rebranded busybody group "Morality In Media", whom you might remember from such hits as "Trying to have Life Of Brian pulled from theatres" and "trying to connect queerness to mass murder"
