it's always interesting how "queer people are too mean to straight people" often comes from an angle of being really upset when queer people in any way express their disdain for the way the world others us, whether it be through art or personal experience

Fuck this. It has never been more important to own your own shit (Sony literally just wiped 500+ digital movies people BOUGHT last week) and killing physical media is a blatant attempt to ensure we can't and reducing purchases to little more than a rental that can be wiped at a moment's notice.

Well you know what this is about

Yeah, I fucking hate it here.

This is always how this case was going to go. After Skrmetti last year, the Court has already decided that trans people get no rights and the state can discriminate against them as they please.

Jfc

I am stunned that the constitutional question was so close. I thought it would be 6–3 or 7–2. It is profoundly disturbing that four justices would allow either the president or Congress to rewrite the plain text of the 14th Amendment. This is obviously a good outcome, but the margin is alarming.

Yessssss

I hate this man. He's just a republican with a blue tie on.

I WISH “ we SHOULD do it because it’s right” worked It don’t I will take “ We protect each other because these muhfuggers ain’t new or smart and they keep the same pattern so if they start with one of us they coming for the rest”

Just read that Akihiro Miwa, the great Japanese singer/actor/drag queen, passed away at 91. You might have known him as the voice of Moro the wolf goddess in Princess Mononoke.

Just switch your party to republican and get it over with you assholes

Property always gets protected by cops over people.

Generative AI is not only fundamentally based on the rejection of consent, but also *standards*. Artists have been micromanaged and hounded over individual pixels, academics fighting to defend every minute detail of their thesis, etc, and then are tossed away in favor of the get shit wrong machine.

Don't take what Tim Sweeney says at face value. His only goal is to force everyone into the ecosystem he controls so he can extract rent from everyone forever. He is not making statements from a position of good faith.

Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal

"Hey you can't steal that from me! I stole that fair and square wtf????"

Steam summer sale is fun but do boycott anything made with AI. Pay real workers

Hey so this new KOSA/KIDS Act proposal has a little note in it that creates a whole new special Trump-appointed team to regulate the internet. So no more Congress votes. No more checks & balances. Just whoever the president picks to decide the future of YOUR internet. You aren’t mad enough.

This week I learned Photoshop can slut-shame. So I spent a video testing Adobe's moderation system, seeing what triggers it, and discovering that Photoshop may be judging my outfits harder than half the internet - youtu.be/sWcnBBrJ5cw

I’m not at home to any arguments in favor of the $80 price point. You can blame tariffs, AI, budget bloat, whatever, but I care for NONE of it when paying executives a little less would resolve so much. I’ll talk about the cost of development once we address the cost of corporate leadership.

So many artists giving m*nster drinks free advertising and i will never understand. Seems like it comes in waves.

This is illegal but this ftc wont do anything about it.

Just a sheet that says "right click, view source"

"Do you expect me to talk?" "No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die."

Two things about this argument. Firstly, AI proponents are desperately trying to wear down your resolve any way they can, and they wouldn't be so keen to tell you it's inevitable if they weren't terrified of the push back. Secondly, all AI slop can be expunged given the time, effort, and drive.

The male loneliness epidemic, the manosphere and the sudden concern about low birthrates is all just backlash to something women are discovering en masse. "You do not have to tolerate or appease someone shitty to achieve a socially constructed relationship milestone or achieve happiness/success."

This is the part that gets me. They support the slop to their own detriment

Suraj has a point.

Unreal quadrupling down on AI? Well, if you're considering Godot, keep in mind that the last version that was not made with AI contributions was 4.5. You can perhaps extend some courtesy to 4.6, but 4.7 openly includes AI-generated code and LLM-assisted changes. Do with this info what you will.

"How is babby formed?"

I don't have any patience for the "but we're poor" argument for bands using AI for posters and publicity. Try to think back to roughly 3 years ago when you somehow coped without it.

Seriously don't let Microsoft get away with saying they don't have the money to keep Xbox and they're game studios running. 80 fucking billion wasted on a tool that has returned basically nothing.

I get this at work so much and the same person will be in another channel complaining about how wrong it is about other stuff. Its so exhausting.

The funny part about this 100% this was some dumbfuck he hired to do this with AI and it leaked his stupid treehouse club of assholes

You love to see independent anime mags.

If you're wondering why Rockstar is going all out on the GTA 6 cover art reveal its the poisoning news results about them losing their union busting suit

Womanizer Manipulator Neutralizer All 3 sound like 1950s cartoon lasers for HRT if you think too hard about it.

I think most cis people don't comprehend how single-minded, obsessive, and truly sexually inappropriate transphobes are.

The transphobes are fucked in the head and obsessed with kids genitals. This is so fucking problematic and is a far larger effort to force gender roles on everyone in addition to making sure trans kids are as miserable as possible

YUUUUUP. Listen to Cassandra for once—we are and have been the canary in the coal mine for what they can get away with.

if you ever see one of these dudes on the subway or whatever you gotta go like "ARE YOU RECORDING US?? WHY ARE YOU RECORDING US? IS IT FOR THE NEWS? I DIDN'T FILL OUT A CONSENT RELEASE" and they'll say no and then you can pull out "OH SO IT'S FOR YOU PERSONALLY HUH" and watch everybody get worried

MPAA will sue them with the fervor they they did 15 year olds with torrents right? Right?

Security alert: YouTube added a feature that now puts your username in shared links, so if you share a YouTube link on here, everyone who clicks it will know your YouTube username. To turn it off, go to Settings - Privacy and turn off "Channel visibility for shared links"

Im so tired of having to argue "dude is not gender neutral". Just be truthful and say "i dont want to change in any way to be an ally and respectful" and get it over with. Im not in any fashion a "dude" or a "bro".

The state of the internet means i wont post any art online and that sucks ass because it would be fun to share.

All uses of AI are costing someone… this sucks as the Game UI database is such a valuable resource.
