Since I've been hyperfixating on Frostpunk, what if We streamed the attempts at the final 2 achievements (one achievement leads to the other). I'll need to actually finish setting stuff up, but it'd be good to get back into the swing of things :)

Goodnight folks. Rest well. <3

Hey you. Yes, you. If you have that idea, you should make it. Write it, create it, paint it, draw it, code it, whatever. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do the thing. Try starting. I know life gets in the way and the world is on fire, but we need YOUR art.

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

a reminder for mental health awareness week, and literally any other week too

I'm normally pretty upbeat & try to find the best in things, but I've been spiralling in a pit of doomerism regarding AI. It's being pushed harder & harder constantly at work, & because we are expected to use AI, they are having more & more work get pushed down on us. We're so burnt out ;-;

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

a work of art and i get to wear it

All the developers 404 Media talked to were excited to try using LLMs at work at first, or were at least curious about them. Their feelings about the tools, based on their personal experience, are now overwhelmingly negative. AI is rotting their brains www.404media.co/software-dev...

Remember when EVVVVVVVVVERYTHING was going to be on the blockchain? Remember how so many people say AI is inevitable so just start using it?

I just love with meetings at work that are focused on AI wrap up with "It doesn't matter if you like AI or not, it is here, so you better start learning the tools because it is really powerful" This wasn't even a management chain thing, this is just something a teammate said off the cuff >.>

Replacement window is (currently) scheduled to be installed into my room on the 28th! The Mold Saga will be officially complete at that point!

folx, I’ve been working on AI "ethics" for almost a decade now & hate to tell you there’s no such thing as "ethical AI" the only "ethical principle" that works is regulating the shit out of the industry & to take back control of our autonomy, fundamental rights, freedoms & right to exist w/out AI

It hurts my heart to say all this but my mom passed away on Sunday morning after a 7-year battle with lung cancer. We’re trying to raise $8,536 for funeral expenses since we don’t have insurance. Any support or even sharing this would mean the world to us right now. ko-fi.com/ellienoctis/...

I hate that the phrase "Here's why this matters" has become a tell for AI generated text >.> (You see it ALL THE TIME on LinkedIn, & LinkedIn users are generally obsessed with AI)

move.blacksky.community is the most straightforward to come to our server. comprehensive docs here: docs.blacksky.community/migrating-to... You can use pdsmoover.com and even move.eurosky.tech as well. Importantly, you can use those alternatives to ~leave~ Blacksky if you change your mind after!

NOTICE: Do you have an elderly or disabled neighbor in NYC? Be a good neighbor and let them know about the free air conditioner program. If they earn $3473 or less a month, NYC will cover the costs of an A/C. Remember…last summer we had 95 degree weather. Look out for them

Cover Letters suck. Why are we wasting people's time even more >.> It is literally like "Hello yes company, I deeply love your company (lie), & I am writing directly to you with my template where I copy paste from the job listing key elements that match with things on my resume, please hire me"

Throughout history it's always been The Youth™ who embrace the latest groundbreaking technology and move it forward. This is the first time that I can recall there being any kind of pushback against it from those who historically accept it. It's punk af to be anti-ai. Good job, tech bros.

MY VOICE IS NOT SOMETHING ANYONE ELSE HAS THE RIGHT TO HAVE A COPY OF. NOR IS ANYONE ELSE'S VOICE. If you use AI TTS, or services that do provide it, you are promoting the idea that ownership of someone else's voice in any form is ok, and it is very much not. Please stop using these services.

reminder that Xbox is still a BDS target, so you can feel even better about cancelling Nitro and not giving Discord money than you previously would have

hey so the shantae artist drew reky thank you so much to @alcamoth.bsky.social for getting this all set up!! skeb.jp/@N_sakurajyo... #rekart

it is true, buckaroos genuinely want their erotica to be made by humans because erotica is art and art is about genuine connection. many 'bizzaro' writers immediately switched to ai covers or writing and it revealed to the world WHY they write. this has and will backfire on them. nobody wants that

[Reposted with Alt-text added] I loved Lies of P, and when I heard there would be a sequel, I was very excited! Then the news of AI came in. I WILL NOT touch the sequel, I might not do any projects relating to Lies of P either. Lies of P was great for my Bloodborne fix, it's a great souls-like.

I don't know when it happened, but I don't think my depression meds have been working for me lately. Either that, or the state of things in the world has gotten so bad that it has overcome what my meds were able to handle. Either way, it sucks. :/

Without my knowledge or consent the website 101soundboards has scraped my voice from clips to make into a tts ai voice generator. I am EXTREMELY pissed off about this to say the absolute least. If any unsourced clips of my voice surface saying reprehensible shit, know that it is NOT me.

Public notification about this because it's important, the site mentioned in the comments of this post is scraping some twitch streamer's voices WITHOUT PERMISSION to create AI voice models- users are then allowed to make the models say some atrocious shit. CW for slurs on the site's landing page.

It's kinda annoying that upgrading a Tent to a Bunkhouse or a Bunkhouse to a House in Frostpunk causes you to break the promise of "Keep X number of dwellings above this temperature" Like... It was that temperature before the upgrade started. & now that I'm making things better, I failed? >:c

OBS test recording has been completed. Need to add my model & overlays. (I know this is the upteenth time teasing Soon, but like, ADHD & fatigue are a bitch)

Lawn mowing season has started. It just reminds me I want to get in touch with local ecology groups to convert my lawn into local natural plants

I don't know why Hogwarts Legacy is having a comeback but like.. I'll still block u over it

The Frostpunk mobile game is unfortunately kinda mid. It's more of the standard micro transaction mobile game model instead of being the Frostpunk challenging & strategy based model :c

Achievement get. Just 4 more achievements to go until I have all achievements in Frostpunk 1.

We're a sick mushy 🤒🍄

If you’re trans & born before 2000, when asked who you are you can legit answer: “Do not ask me for a single title, I have crossed millennia under different names and worn more than one form besides. Revered by some and feared by many, I am remembered differently in each age that survives me.”

folks keep giving an inch to shit like Arc Raiders and Crimson Desert, so folks are takin a fucking mile and then some congratulations, gamers!

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

so you're telling me a white dude calls for mods to "clean house" of trans people, furries, and leftists he doesn't like, the head moderator of the website likes a bunch of his tweets, and then the next day the moderators begin purging the website of trans people, furries, and leftists? strange!

Steam Controller: Reservations open May 8th at 10 AM PT. "When we go back in stock, order emails will be sent in the same order that reservations were made." -Your account must be in good standing on Steam -You must have made a purchase on Steam prior to April 27, 2026

Seeing someone playing/streaming Arc Raiders after it is well known that it utilizes generative AI, & that they specifically designed it to try to be a wedge & convince people it is okay to use generative AI, is honestly a huge red flag imo.

Got my Beacn stuff setup with my streaming PC, freshly installed with Linux. (There's a peaking issue unless I set my live-in to 25% volume, & my mic spdif out isn't working, but those can be figured out).
