Echoing this to say that $1 a month to a creator whose work you like is equivalent to easily a thousand ad-supported views on their videos. Even a little bit of support makes a hugely outsized difference - pick your favourites and support where you can.

Hey, what’s your favorite non-enshittified apps and/or app developer? Here are some of mine starting with Audio Hijack which lets me record audio from apps (I also use some of Rogue Amoeba’s other apps too)

Y'all don't ever let yourself be guilted into doing *any* work for an employer that laid you off. It's a business relationship that ended when they notified you. They figure out a few weeks later that they didn't understand some function of your job? Not your problem.

And now Linktree is wanting to copy and exploit our content. 🙄 Obviously they can’t own the stuff on the websites you link to, but the new T&Cs mean that any content - embedded videos, photos, music, etc. - that you have on your Linktree profile, they can copy and sell on without paying you.

This is a) utterly terrifying and b) vital. Don’t turn away. The crisis is fixable because it is, ultimately, political. We know the chemistry. We decline the action necessary.

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU. Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

I think trans people are cool and I wish we lived in a society where they could relax and live their lives without the most uncool people on the planet constantly getting up in their business, just my two cents

I'm happy to announce that Elfie: A Sand Plan will be part of the @gdocexpo.com Steam Showcase! The event starts September 16! Just a few days away!! ✨🐘✨ #IndieGame #GameDev #GDoCExpo2025

We need more games and internet journalists. And also more trans journalists. And also more journalists. aftermath.site/tyler-robins...

The more time I spend on a piece of music, the more stuff I remove from it. At this rate there’ll be almost no notes left in what I’m working on atm✨ But silence is underrated, so 4’33’’ plagiarism strike lets gooo

New hair, new shakuhachi video! Still not been a year since I started, and I’m honestly pretty proud of how far I’ve gotten so far✨

love the installations in the forest at Ekeberg 🧡 overheard a girl asking her mom how to make this piece, kids being curious about making weird art makes me happy

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

is AI real life is it just fantasy caught up in the hype no escape from reality

As @gregpak.net has noted, unless there was a specific clause in all the contracts that allows for this, they can't go back and retroactively amend contracts without the author's consent. This is a class action suit waiting to happen.

Everyone from Gaza losing their accounts after Bluesky got mad about people asking to stop the deletion of Palestinian accounts and hiding those posts is just top class petulant baby moderation
